Inferences.
IS Sin a Wound? or doth it wound the Soul, wound the State, Nation, and Church of God? We may then infer from hence the Folly of Men and Women who love and hug their Sin. Wilt thou, O Sinner, hug a Serpent in thy Bosom, that strives to sting thee to Death? what Fools are wicked Men?
2. Let us learn from hence to bewail the Condition of our sinful Relations, let the Husband mourn over his unbelieving Wife, and the Wife mourn over the unbelieving Husband; Fathers grieve for their unconverted and wounded Children, and Children grieve for their wounded and unconverted Parents, &c. What are they that thou lovest so dearly, and who lye in thy Bosom mortally wounded, and wilt thou not be troubled for them? what not one Sigh nor Tear come from thee for them? be astonished, O Heavens! what a hard Heart hast thou?
3. Seek out for help, you that are unconverted, delay not; and let such who are healed, do what they can to get help and Cure for their Friends: if a Husband, a Wife, a Father, a Child or Brother be dangerously sick, or wounded externally, how ready are you to enquire for some skilful Physician, or Chirurgeon! and what speed will you make! and will you not be as tender and as careful of their Souls?
