The door of salvation opened by the key of regeneration

First, By way of Information: If without Regeneration men and women can never attain Salvation; then it informeth us in the first place, how gross and how great is the delusion of graceless and irreligious persons. How exceedingly do most sinners cheat and cozen their own souls! Reader, it may be thou art a Drunkard, a Swearer, a Scoffer at godliness, an Atheist in thy heart, in thy soul, and yet thou hopest to get to heaven. O desperate delusion! I tell thee, either this Text which I write of, and which is the word of the true and living God, must be false (which the Devil himself is not so great a Blasphemer as to think) or thou art a brand for the unquenchable fire. Do but look into the black list of those that are for utter darkness, and thou mayst read thy very name written there in broad letters, 1 Cor. 6.9, 10. Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? Be not deceived (O soul-cheater) neither Forn cators, nor Idolaters, nor Adulterers, nor Effeminate nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor Thieves, nor Covetous, nor Drunkards, nor Revilers, no• Extortioners shall inherit the kingdom •f God. ⟨p. 52⟩See Gal. 5.19, 20, 21. Gal. 6.7, 8. Ephes. 5.5, 6. Friend, I could name forty texts of Scripture which pass sentence of everlasting condemnation on thy soul, and yet thou thinkest in despite of God and his word to be saved. I assure thee, profane wretch, thou comest short of hundreds which shall come short of heaven. Many bid fair (to the eyes of men) by civility, morality and common grace, but come not up to the price, to Regeneration, and so miss of that place; thou art every day adding sin to sin, drunkenness to thirst, posting in the road to hell, and yet sayest, that thou shalt arrive at heaven! well, within a few days it shall be tried whose words are truest, God's or thine.
