Question. IV. If you die before you come unto Repentance, will it not be forever too late for you; or can you suppose, that your cry, Lord, have mercy upon me; will avail any thing, or be any other than all too late, when the Pit hath shut its mouth upon you, and you are lodged among Devils in the place of Torment?
