Quest. What shall we do that we may make sure of the Salvation of our Souls?
1. BEWARE of Soul-Destroyers if you would have your Souls Saved. Sin is the greatest Soul-Destroyer in the World, therefore take ⟨p. 25⟩heed of Sin. Ezek. 18. 4. The Soul that sinneth it shall die. Wisdom says, Prov. 8. 36. He that sinneth against me wrongeth his own Soul. So do Sinners do, they wrong, they ruin their own Souls when they Sin against God. O that you would remember that One Sin indulged in you will destroy the Soul: therefore did David pray, Psal. 119. 133. Let not any iniquity have dominion over me. Iniquity if it have Dominion over a Man it will prove the ruin of his Soul.
