Are there no• many here that have lived long in the World, that are not to this Day born again, and so are Aliens from the Common-Wealth of Israel, and have done Nothing ever since they have lived, but treasure up Wrath against the Day of Wrath? Oh Sirs, your Case in an especial Manner is extremely dangerous; your Guilt and Hardness of Heart is extremely great. Don't you see how generally Persons of your Years are passed over and left, in the present remarkable and wonderful Dispensation of GOD's Mercy? You had need to consider your selves, and wake thoroughly out of Sleep; you cannot bear the Fierceness and Wrath of the infinite GOD.

And you that are young Men, and young Women, will you neglect this precious Season that you now enjoy, when so many others of your Age are renouncing all youthful Vanities, ⟨p. 62⟩and flocking to CHRIST? You especially have now an extraordinary Opportunity; but if you neglect it, it will soon be with you, as it is with those Persons that spent away all the precious Days of Youth in Sin, and are now come to such a dreadful Pass in Blindness and Hardness.
