2. If you defer your repentance, it is a thousand to one that you never repent as long as you live, If your life should continue many years; because not one in a thousand that defer their repentance, do afterwards repent; there are millions in Hell that lived under the light of the Gospel who intended to repent, but were prevented by death before they were aware; and it is a thousand to one if you defer any longer, but ere long you will be received into their number; have not you deferred your repentance before this till such a time and such a time? and yet when such times ⟨p. 203⟩have come again and again, have […] •ot deferred i• •••ll? and will not your […] […] still find as plausible excuses till it be too […]? Remember this sinners, that it is a thousand to one but you will be damned if you any longer defer your repentance.
