THIS subject may be applied in an use of awakening to impenitent sinners.—What hath been said under this doctrine is for thee, O impenitent sinner, O poor wretch, who art in the same miserable state, in which thou camest into the world, excepting that thou art loaded with vastly greater guilt, by thine actual sins. These dreadful things which thou hast heard, are for thee, who art yet unconverted, and still remainest an alien and stranger, without CHRIST and without GOD in the world. They are for thee, who to this day remainest an enemy to GOD, and a child of the devil, even in this remarkable season, when others both here and elsewhere, far and near, are flocking to CHRIST; for thee, who hearest the noise, the fame of these things, but knowest nothing of the power of godliness in thine own heart.

WHOEVER thou art, whether young or old, little or great, if thou art in a christless, unconverted state, this is the wrath, this is the death to which thou art condemned. This is the wrath that abideth on thee; this is the hell over which thou hangest, and into which thou art ready to drop every day and every night.
