Warnings from the dead. Or Solemn admonitions unto all people

I Am a Miserable Sinner; and I have Justly Provoked the Holy God to leave me unto that Folly of my own Heart, for which I am now Condemned to Dy. I cannot but see much of the Anger of God against me, in the Circumstances; of my Woeful Death; He hath Fulfilled upon me, that Word of His, Evil Pursueth Sinners. I therefore desire, Humbly to Confess my many Sins before God, and the World: but most particularly my Blood-Guiltiness. Before the Birth of my Twin-Infants, I too much Parleyed with the Temptations of the Devil, to Smother my Wickedness by Murdering of them: At length, when they were Born, I was not unsensible, that at least, One of them was alive; but such a Wretch was I, as to use a Murderous Carriage towards them, in the place where I lay, on purpose to Dispatch them out of the World. I acknowledge that I have been more Hard-Hearted than the Sea-Monsters: and yet for the Pardon of these my Sins, I would Fly to the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is the only Fountain set open for Sin and Uncleanness I know not how better to Glorify God, for giving me such an Opportunity as I have had to make sure of His Mercy, than by advising & entreating the Rising Generation here, to take Warning by my Example; and I will therefore tell the Sins, that have brought me to my ⟨p. 71⟩shameful End. I do Warn all People, and especially, Young People, against the Sin of Uncleanness in particular; 'tis that Sin, that hath been my Ruin; well had it been for me, if I had answered all Temptations to that Sin, as Joseph did, How shall I do this Wickedness and Sin against God? But, I see, Bad Company is that, which leads to that, & all other Sins; and I therefore beg all that Love their Souls to be familiar with none but such as fear God. I believe, the chief thing that hath, brought me, into my present Condition, is my Disobedience to my Parents: I despised all their Godly Counsels and Reproofs; and I was always of an Haughty and Stubborn Spirit. So that now I am bebecome a dreadful Instance of the Curse of God belonging to Disobedient Children. I must Beway I this also, that although I was Baptised, yet when I grow up, I forgot the Bonds that were laid upon me to be the Lords, Had I given my self to God, as soon as I was capable to consider that I had been in Baptism, set apart for him, How happy had I been!
