The greatest concern in the world. A short and plain essay, to answer that…

The Devils knew, That those Excellent Ministers of the Lord, Paul and Silas, were come to Philippi, with a Design to answer this Weighty Question. ⟨p. 2⟩They could not bear it; they feared it would issue in a Destruction upon their Kingdom there. They stirred up the minds of some Wicked People, to Abuse and Revile these Ministers, and run them into Prison. Some Wicked People were afraid, lest they should lose a little Money, by the coming of such Ministers among them; and the Devils inspired those Muckworms to use incessant Endeavours, until they had made these Ministers uncapable of Preaching any more unto them. Our Glorious LORD appeared for His Faithful Servants. They Glorified Him, in the midst of their Trials. They Sang His Praises, under the Stripes & the Stocks which the Satanic Party inflicted on them. Oh! Patient Servants of the Lord! What a symptom have you, that you shall one Day Reign in Glory with Him! These Poor men Sang unto the Lord; the Lord heard them, and saved them! A terrible Earthquake at Midnight shook open the Doors of their Prison. The Keeper that had the now superseded Keys of the Prison, was terrified. In his Consternation, he falls down at the Feet of his Prisoners; he treats them no longer as Prisoners, but rather as Angels. He fervently puts to them the Question, which, Oh! that it were often heard with an equal Fervency among us! What must I do to be Saved?
