Let us hear the Conclusion of the whole matter: It is no more but what our Saviour tells us in the verse behind our Text, ¹almost in so many words: He that seeks himself, shall indeed find himself, but to his own Destruction; But he that Denies himself, shall indeed be rid of himself, but to his own salvation. Then what profit will it be to thee to gain thy self, yea the whole world, if thou must loose thine own soul? what Recompense canst thou give for it? the whole World will not be sufficient, nor any thing in the World, but Him that overcame the World for thee. If it be grievous to Deny thy Self, ²what will it be, to be Denied of Christ, when He shall say, I know you not? If thou canst not find in thine heart to say, Depart from me Iniquity; how shalt thou find in thine heart to hear (that Thunder-clap) Depart from Me ye workers of Iniquity? ³If thou art not able to abide with this consuming fire, how wilt thou be able to Dwell with everlasting Burnings?

Let us heare the Conclusion of the whole matter: It is no more but what our Saviour tells us in the verse behind our Text, ¹almost in so many words: He that seekes himselfe, shall indeed finde himselfe, but to his owne Destruction; But he that Denyes himselfe, shall indeed be rid of himselfe, but to his owne salvation. Then what profit will it bee to thee to gaine thy selfe, yea the whole world, if thou must loose thine own soule? what Recompence canst thou give for it? the whole World will not be sufficient, nor any thing in the World, but Him that overcame the World for thee. If it be grievous to Deny thy Self, ²what will it be, to be Deny'd of Christ, when He shall say, I know you not? If thou canst not finde in thine heart to say, Depart from me Iniquity; how shalt thou finde in thine heart to heare (that Thunder-clap) Depart from Me yee workers of Iniquity? ³If thou art not able to abide with this consuming fire, how wilt thou be able to Dwell with everlasting Burnings?
