Thirdly. Remember This; If the Thorns of this World, render you Children of Disobedience under the Word of GOD your SAVIOUR, you will at last suffer Destruction like Thorns, in the Fire of His Indignation. It is a Marvellous Word, 2 Sam. XXIII. 67. They shall be all of them as Thorns thrust away; and they shall be utterly burnt with Fire id the Sabbath: So 'tis to be rendered: That is to say, At the coming of the Lord, in Flaming Fire, to bring on the Great Sabbatism, that remains for the People of GOD. Oh! Let not your Hearts be ⟨p. 73⟩full of Thorns, in the Sabbath which is now vouchsafed unto us; lest in that Sabbath you must have an Expectation of a Fiery Indignation to devour you. If the Earth bear Thorns and Briars, it is Rejected and nigh unto Cursing, and the End of the Wicked ones, who are themselves but Thorns and Briars, will be, To be Burned.

But, What shall we do to be saved, from the Thorns, and from the Fate and Fire of the Thorns?
