W• must tell you of the wrath that is on you already and the death that you are born under, for th• breach of the law of works, but this is but to sh••• you the need of mercy, and to provoke you to estee•• the grace of the Redeemer.

Our telling you of your misery, is not it th•• makes you miserable, but driveth you out to s••• for mercy. It is you that have brought this dea•• upon yourselves.

W• are first to offer you mercy, if you will turn, and […] is only those that will not turn, nor hear the voi•• of mercy, that we must foretell damnation to. W••• you but cast away your transgressions, delay […] longer, but come away at the call of Christ, and […] converted, and become new creatures, and we ba••• ⟨p. 37⟩not a word of damning wrath, or death to speak against you. I do here in the name of the Lord of life, proclaim to you all that hear me this day, to the worst of you, to the greatest, to the oldest sinner, that you may have mercy and salvation, if you will but turn. There is mercy in God, there is sufficiency in the satisfaction of Christ, the promise is free, and full, and universal; you may have life, if you will but turn. But then as you love your souls, remember what turning it is that Scripture speaks of. It is not to mend the old house, but to pull down all, and build anew, on Christ the Rock and sure Foundation. It is not to mend somewhat in a carnal course of life, but to mortify the flesh, and live after the Spirit. It is not to serve the flesh and the world, in a more reformed way, without any scandalous disgraceful sins, and with a certain kind of religiousness; but it is to change your master, and your works, and end; and to set your face the contrary way, and do all for the life that you never saw; and dedicate yourselves, and all you have, to God. This is the change that must be made if you will live.
