Consider SECONDLY.
Tis possible, there are some of You, that have sad cause to fear that the Spirit of God will quickly have done with you, if you Resist him any more. Some of you, even some of you that are now before the Lord, may have so Resisted the ⟨p. 159⟩Holy Spirit of God, that you may fear, a little Resistance more may cause the Eternal Departure of his influences from your Souls. Methinks I overhear the Holy Spirit of God saying to some of us, Be instructed, poor soul, be instructed quickly, lest I depart from thee, and thou become desolate for evermore. There are Souls whose Time is almost our, whose Glass is almost Run; the Inch of Candle is come just to the bottom with them; If they don't, presently, make a Good Bargain for Eternal Happiness, they must necessarily perish in the dark. But, who are they? Let me speak plainly, & as it becomes a Watchman of your Precious and Immortal Souls, for which I would awfully suppose my self accountable.
