Art thou yet in Ignorance, and not turned from Darkness to Light? Why, thou art under the Power of Satan, Acts 26.18. Dost thou live in the ordinary and wilful Practice of any known Sin? Know that thou art of the Devil, 1 John 3.8. Dost thou live i• Strife, or Malice, or Envy? Verily, he is thy Father John 8.49, 41. O dreadful Case! However Satan may provide his Slaves with divers Pleasures, Tit. 3.3. yet it is but to […] them into endless Perdition. The Serpent comes with the Apple in his Mouth, Oh, but (with Eve) thou seest not the deadly Sting in his Tail. He that is now thy Tempter, will be one Day thy Tormentor. Oh, that I could but give thee to see how black a Master thou servest, how filthy a Drudgery thou dost, how merciless a Tyrant thou gratifiest! all whose Pleasure is, to set thee on work to make thy Perdition and Damnation sure, and to heat the Furnace hotter and hotter, in which thou must burn for Millions of Millions of Ages.
