Parental wishes and charges. Or, The enjoyment of a glorious Christ, proposed, as the great blessedness, which Christian parents desire, both for themselves, and for their children. In a discourse, now put into the hands of such parents, as would be assisted in their duty, by putting such things into the hands of their children. : [Two lines of quotation in Latin]

Miserable sinner; The Wrath of God like a Consuming Fire, is burning against him. The Great GOD is every Day Angry at him. There is the Anger of God, in all His Dispensations towards him. Nothing that he does is pleasing to God. He Languishes perpetually under the Displeasure of God. He is ⟨p. 49⟩a Child of Wrath; he is obnoxious to that Wrath, at which, you Quake, O ye Mountains, you Melt, O ye Hills, you are Thrown down, O ye Rocks; And, Who can stand before that Indignation? The Curse of God haunts him; There is a Curse in all that happens unto him. There is a Curse Embittering all his Enjoyments. The Curse makes him the worse for every thing. He may have some Temporal […], but he has no Real Blessings in his Comforts. Like the Cursed Mountains of Gilboa, he has no Rain or Dew of Spiritual and Heavenly Blessings Falling from Heaven upon him. Nothing does him Good! Prosperity beguiles him; Adversity hardens him. Ordinances make him no better than he was before, Oh! Miserable Sinner! How canst thou hear of any Miseries, and thy Heart not Faint, and even Die away within thee?
