CONSIDER these things, all you enemies of GOD, and rejectors of CHRIST, whether you be old men and women, Christless heads of families, or young people and wicked children. Be assured that if you do not hearken and repent, GOD intends to show his wrath, and make his power known upon you. He intends to magnify himself exceedingly in sinking you down in hell. He intends to show his great majesty, at the day of judgment, before a vast assembly, in your misery; before a greater assembly many thousand fold, than ever yet appeared on earth; before a vast assembly of saints, and a vast assembly of wicked men, a vast assembly of holy angels, and before all the crew of devils. GOD will before all these get himself honour in your destruction; you shall be tormented in the presence of them all.—Then all will see that God is a great GOD indeed; then all will see how dreadful a thing it is to sin against such a GOD, and to reject such a Saviour, such love and grace, as you have rejected and despised. All will be filled with awe at the great sight, and all the saints and angels will look upon you, and adore that majesty, and that mighty power, and that holiness and justice of GOD, which shall appear in your ineffable destruction and misery.
