All that hear me, are such as have not yet made choice of God, to be their God, or have made choice. Let 1me speak a word to both; for there be many that yet have their choice to make, that have other Lords, and other Gods to rule over them. Let them consider, what a fearful state it is not to be able to say, in regard of life everlasting, God is my God and my ⟨p. 232⟩Father. They can say, they be Gods Creatures; but what a fearful condition is it` not to be able to say, God is my Father? will not these know, whom he is not a God to in favour, he will be a God to in vengeance. He must be friend or enemy, there is no third in God. God and the Devil divide all mankind, they share all. If thou be not Gods, and canst not say so, on good titles, thou art the Devils. Yet God is daily pulling men out of the Kingdom of the Devil, by opening their eyes to see their miserable condition; yet all go under these two grand titles, Gods and the Devils. If thou canst not say, God is thy God, then the Devil is thy God; and what a fearful condition is it to be under the God of the world by a worldly, carnal disposition; and perhaps thou mayest die so, if thou be not careful to get out of it. If God be not our God, he is our enemy; and then Creatures, Angels, Devils are against us, conscience against us, word against us, all against us. If he be for us, who is against ⟨p. 233⟩us? If he be against us, who is for us? a terrible condition, and therefore get out of it, I beseech you.
