Surely, It cannot be too Soon for an• of you, as Young as you are, to become Serious Christians, and with a Renewal of your Baptismal Covenant, give your selves up unto the Lord, saying, O my God, Thou shalt be my Father, my Saviour, my Leader! What? Can it be too soon for you to be Delivered from the Anger of God, and the Danger of Hell, and the Oppressions, of the Devil? Can it be Too soon for you to be Absolved from the Guilt of all your Sins, and be Clothed with the spotless Righteousness of Jesus Christ, and be Filled with the gracious Influences of the Holy Spirit? Or, Can it be Too soon for you, to be made Hens of Life, and meet for the Inheritance of the Saints in Light? Inconsiderate Youth! How canst thou dare, how canst thou bear, to say so? Be ⟨p. 28⟩astonished at this Advice! The King of Heaven is wooing of thy Young Soul, to become United, and Married, unto Himself: He propounds, Wilt thou be mine, and shall I make thee Happy? Oh, It cannot be Too soon for thee to Consent unto the proposals of that Glorious Lord; or, to Reply, Lord, Make me Thine, and I am Happy!
