Stimulator. Or, The case of a soul walking in darkness awfully & suitably considered. An essay, to awaken people out of the lethargy which disposes them to continue in a dark uncertainty about their future state, in the world, which is not seen, but is eternal. : [Four lines of Scripture texts]

Tis a Thing as Unquestionable as Unaccountable; That People have heard many Hundreds of Sermons, wherein the Things that accompany Salvation have been set before them, and they have been Exhorted over and over again to get into the Experience of those Necessary Things. But after all, they still Walk in Darkness, not knowing whither they are going. People have been at Hundreds of Burials; Yea, and followed such as have been younger than Themselves with the Mourners walking about the Streets at Funerals: and seen how needful it has been for them to put off no longer the doing of what they have to do that they may not be found Unprepared. ⟨p. 28⟩But after all, they still Walk in Darkness, not knowing whither they are going. We read of a Vial poured out upon the Seat of Antichrist, whereupon, His Kingdom is full of Darkness. But is not many a Soul among us, as if it had such a Vial poured out upon it; A Soul that is full of Darkness?
