Oh that such of you would now be persuaded to repent and turn from all your Transgressions; or else Iniquity will be your Ruin! Ezek. 18.30. Alas, for ⟨p. 69⟩poor hardened Sinners! Must I leave you at last where you were? Must I leave the Tippler still at the Alebench? Must I leave the wanton still at Dalliance? Must I leave the malicious still in his Venom? And the Drunkard still at his Vomit? However you must know that you have been warned, and that I am clear of your Blood. And whether Men will hear, or whether they will forbear, I will leave these Scriptures with them, either as Thunder-bolts to awaken them, or as searing Irons to harden them to a reprobate Sense, Psal. 68.21. God shall wound the Head of his Enemies, and the hairy Scalp of such an one as goeth on still in their Trespasses, Prov. 29.1. He that, being often reproved, hardeneth his Neck shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without Remedy, Prov. 1.24, &c. Because I have called, and ye refused: I have stretched out my Hand and no Man regarded, &c. I will mock at your Calamity,— when your Destruction cometh as a Whirlwind.
