Impenitent sinners warned of their misery and summoned to judgment delivered in two sermons,…

have I done any thing more to lay in for a comfortable trial? and let this drive you to him who is the God of all Grace, to ask of him, with the most intense importunity, to work you up unto a meetness for this Appearance.

And now give me leave to add one word of advice to the poor Condemned Creature who is under a Sentence of Death: Who if God had not put more pity into the hearts of her pious & compassionate Judges, than she had for her own Soul, had now been hearing the last Sermon that ever should have been Preached in her ears; and the Lord grant that this respite given you, may turn to the account of your Salvation; else know it, it will add a fearful Item to your astonishing account. Oh that I might now have had the occasion and encouragement to have spoken a consolatory word, to a broken heart, wounded to death under the Arrows of the Almighty, and sensible of her miserable condition, humbly asking after the hopes of Salvation: the Lord knows how my heart would have rejoiced, might it have been so. But since ⟨p. 55⟩it must be otherwise, I pray God that his Terrors may make you afraid, and drive you yet, before all hopes of mercy be past and gone, in deepest sense of your own unworthiness, to take Sanctuary in the Blood of Christ, where only, how much soever you have despised it, you can obtain safety. Your Humane Judge hath told you that you must Die, and that very quickly; and you have no hope that this Sentence will be reversed. But I am now to Cite you, in the name of God, to a more dreadful Judgment upon that; as soon as ever you are dead, you must be called to it, and what preparation have you made? what have you been doing in order to it? alas! a fearful deal; you are but a young Creature, but ah! an old sinner, grown ripe, and must be cut down before you have seen twenty years in this world. What a fearful Indictment hath the All-seeing God ready drawn up against you? what uncountable bloody Items is it filled up withal? I have already given you the most solemn advice, in the name of God, about these things on the last Sabbath, and all the encouragement to seek for a pardon, which the Word of God affords; and many of Gods faithful Servants have been in public or private, or both, solemn and serious in their applications to you; and what do you now mean to do? are you resolved to harden your neck, till you be remedilessly destroyed? will you add Impenitency to Iniquity, & trample on the precious Blood of Christ, that hath been and is offered to you?
