How might this awaken Sinners, and be a means to turn them from Spiritual Darkness to Light; and from Satan, the Prince of Darkness, to God: Oh! that these closing, direful, and amazing Lines, might turn many to Righteousness, to believe, repent, and obey the Gospel, before the Lord Jesus come in flaming Fire, rendering Vengeance upon all that know not God, nor obey the Gospel.
