is this, think ye, an evil, disadvantageous, or Prejudicial exchange? whether is it better that the one and only true God reign over you, then that Satan and a multitude of strange Lords, your Lusts, taking the Throne (as it were) by turns, should reign over you? It's both sad and stupendous, that ever this should be suffered once to come in question or debate; and yet, Alas! it's this, or some thing like this, at which it will stand: either ye will not take God for your God: or ye will not give your selves to him to be his People, on his own very reasonable and easy terms? and I trow, ye will make no better. I would, therefore, yet again put you to it: for it's the very thing that ye are called to, the great business of the day, and it's come even to the shock.

And therefore, labour to be at a point, whether ye will close with him or not: If ye will sincerely say, we ⟨p. 263⟩take the Lord to be our God, and give our selves to him, to be his People and servants: then we say to you, and assure you in his Name, that this Cup, that by and by the are to drink, shall be according to his warrant, The new Covenant in his Blood. And to press you to the thing, let me but Ask you a few Questions. 1. Is there not need of Covenanting with God? Are there not many sins on your score? Is there not a quarrel betwixt God and you? Is not this bargain meet and suitable for you, which holds out remission of sins and peace with God? are ye not urgently called to it? And what ground of challenge will it be, think ye, that this was in your offer, and on very free and easy terms, and ye would not accept of it, but would needs destroy your selves? 2. If there be sin and a quarrel, is there not a necessity to have it taken away? Have ye laid your account and resolved not to be solicitous and careful, whether ye be friends with God or not? And if ye will not say that, why do ye not enter this Covenant? 3. Is there any other way to get sin pardoned and the quarrel taken away, but by making sure your Covenant with God? David or any others that were saved, were they saved any other way? This Covenant was all his Salvation and all his desire. 4. What will ye say in the day of the Lord, when the Trumpet shall sound, and he shall call you to an account for refusing his free and Gracious offer; when there will be no more treating with you, when he shall say, and make your own Conscience say to you? It was plainly told you, that there was a quarrel standing betwixt me, and you; It was told you, that I was willing to enter into a Covenant with you, and to remove that quarrel, I sent my Messengers unto you for this end, but ye made light of the matter: Say to it, O say to it; ye must say something,
