Thirdly. That you may be spared this Year also, yea, as not knowing whether you shall be so, or no, Begin the Year with such Dispositions, and such Resolutions, that some Good Fruit may even This Day be found upon you. Your Good Fruit must not be put off, as what may one Year more be staid for. I do vehemently This Day press for such Things as these.
First; O all you Unconverted ones, This Day, This Day, Turn to GOD; and Resign yourselves up to the Conduct of your SAVIOUR. Too long, Ah, too long, O miserable ones, you have been under the Condemnation of a Total Barrenness. 'Tis high Time for you, to come unto That; Psal. CXIX. 59, 60. I thought on my Ways, and I turned my Feet unto thy Testimonies. I made Haste and I delayed not to keep thy Commandments. Oh! ⟨p. 188⟩Make Haste, and Think not of Delaying your Turn to GOD, for one Year more. 'Tis enjoined upon you, Immediately to give up your selves unto GOD, with Sorrows for your Wandering after Idols, and with Desires that you may not offend any more. Immediately Receive your SAVIOUR in all His Offices, with all His Benefits. Immediately Resolve upon a Life of PIETY; and say, Lord, I am Thine, Save me!
