Awake sinners, Awake! will you sleep in sin until you are awakened in the midst of flames? will you not leave off sinning, until you have sinned your selves into Hell? will you needs run into these burnings? Awake! open your eyes […] look down, and see how deep the Pit is, […] which ⟨p. 189⟩you are leaping, it is a bottomless Pit, from whence there will be no returning; consider how hot the Fire of […] will be unto which you are hastening, it will be an inconceivable hot Fire, of which there will be no avoiding, if you go on in that broad way of sin, which is leading you thereunto 2 Awake, and look up sinners, there is a Door open, the Door of mercy is open, and the Door of Heaven is open, and will you shut your eyes, and turn your backs upon God, and refuse the proffers of Grace which are made to you? will you trample Crowns under your feet, and slight future glory and happiness, which now is possible for you to obtain? will not this •ear your hearts in Hell, to remember that you have been, the cause of your own ruin, and brought misery upon your selves, that you suffered your selves to be cheated by the Devil, and your own deceitful lusts, of the unspeakable joys and glory of Heaven, which God did once make tenders of unto you?
