Again; Think This; If I am cut down before I begin to bring forth Fruit unto GOD, what will become of me? Tis a terrible Word; Matth. VII. 19. Every Tree that bringeth not forth good Fruit, is sewn down, and cast into the Fire. O Tremble, Tremble, at the View of the Formidable Fire• Look down into the Devouring Fire, and the Everlasting Burnings! and say, O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my Soul!

Finally; Think This; Tho' I should not be cut down, yet if I do not bring forth good Fruit, I may be as bad as cut down. I will fail unto you, what will be as Bad! As Bad as a cutting down will be that Sentence from the Mouth of GOD; Matth. XXI. 19. Let no Fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. To be Judicially given up unto Eternal Blindness, and Hardness, and Ungodliness; O! Tis a fearful Thing. Beware, Beware, lest this come upon you. Deprecate it wonderfully.
