GOD's Voice herein is loud to Sinners that have been Deaf to the Charms of this Wise Charmer; whose Hearts have not been wounded by those Arrows of the Almighty which have been shot by his strong and skilful Hand. And the Language of it is, that they forthwith incline their Ears unto the Voice of Wisdom, lest God withdraw his Spirit, as well as call Home his Ambassador; for then they will be sealed up unto Ruin, and all the Reproofs and Counsels of his Servant will be heavy Items to Inflame their Reckoning.
