Thirdly; When, when will Riotous and Blasphemous Wretches t•ke the Warnings of God? There is a Loud Voice in the Tragedy's that sometimes are seen among us; A Voice, to a Drinking and a Damning Generation. Tis that Voice; Psal. L. 22. Consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you •n pieces & there be none to deliver you. You see, O ye hardy Fighters against God, you see what befalls your Fellow-sinners. Will not your Hearts be now at last affected with what you see? You see the Fulfilment of that Word; Eccl. VII. 17. Be n•• overmuch Wicked, neither be thou Foolish▪ ⟨p. 37⟩Why shouldst thou die before thy Time? And will you not leave off your Wickedness, till tis cut off by your dying before your Time?
