Direct. V. Forthwith renounce all thy Sins. If thou yield thyself to the constant Practice of any Sin, thou art undone, Rom. 6.17. In vain dost thou hope for Life by Christ, except thou depart from Iniquity, 2 Tim. 2.19. Forsake thy Sins, or else thou canst not find Mercy, Prov. 18.13. Thou canst not be married to Christ, except divorced from Sin. Give up the Traitor, or you can have no Peace with Heaven. Cast the Head of Sheba over the Wall: Keep not Delilah in thy Lap. Thou must part with thy Sins, or with thy Soul: Spare but one Sin, and God will n•t spare thee: Never make Excuses, thy Sins must die, or thou must die for them, Psalm 86.21.
