For the first, viz. Some considerations from the Text to press i•; First, Is it not a folly to sin once? If so, sure, it is much more to relapse into sin. Whether is it more true wisdom to abstain from those Sins, or to fall back into them: Is it not more wisdom for you who have been given to Tippling or drunkenness, to neglect of Prayer and the like, now to let alone sins, and to give your selves to Prayer, then to be walking in the street on the Plain-stones? Is it not more wisdom to be given to edifying discourse, then to be laughing and sporting over the time? Is it not better to come to the Church, then to spend the time Idly, In discoursing and waiting for a Tentation? And if your conscience assent to the truth of this, then we take witness in your Conscience, that it doth so, and this Instrument of witness will stand on record against you, if ye shall turn to those sins and to this Folly again. 2. Have ye been examining your selves? And do ye find, that much of your life hath been spent in folly, by Some Twenty, by some Thirty, by some Forty, by some Fifty, by some Sixty years. And every days account cast up amounts only to folly, vanity and Madness? And is it not enough, and may it not suffice you, that ye have spent so long time in folly, though ye spend no more so? 3. Hath not God been speaking peace to some, and ⟨p. 172⟩given them the Intimation of it? So that their Souls have been made to say, God is here: And have they not gotten the bargain closed, and the hand writing that was against them torn? We hope, there are some such among us? Nay are there any, but the Lord hath been offering peace to them, treating with them, saying Behold me, Behold me, entreating and requesting them to be reconciled? And hath there not been some tickling of the affections of many? If so, will ye be such fools as to fall back, and to wear out the sense of that peace and warmness, that any of you have win to? And ye with whom God hath been meeting and treating about the pardon of sin, what a folly will it be, in place of getting a discharge, to increase and multiply your debt? 4 Are there not some engagements on you? Or what ever be real, is there not a profession of coming under engagements? Are not the vows of God on some of you? Is there not some sin that hath stared you in the face, which ye have resolved to abstain from?
