Fifthly, If you would make haste to keep God's Commandments, it would be the readiest way that you could do, to have a Blessing upon your outward Enjoyments, Lev. 26 throughout.
Lastly, If thou wilt do this, thou shalt be saved when thou diest; What dost thou desire more? John 1. Verily, Verily, I say unto you, if any man keep my Sayings, ⟨p. 111⟩he shall never see death: That is, he shall never see Eternal Death, he shall never be damned: But you may say, Sir, you press us to make haste to keep God's Commandments; so you may, so we have; you make us a Disobedient Congregation; I wish to God you were not. I say to you, have you kept the Commandments of God? What […] then the Passion […] we see? […] meaneth then the Pride that we […]? What meaneth then all […] Neglects of Prayer in your Families, that we know of? What meaneth then your hardness of Heart, your slighting of Christ? What are the Commandments of God? Is it not that you should Repent, Acts 17. 20. Now God Commands all Men every where to Repent: Hast thou kept God's Commandments? What! And not shed one Tear for a Thousand Sins that thou hast Committed? Yet dost thou say, That thou hast kept the Commandments of God? The Commands of God are, That thou shouldst Believe on Christ; turn and see, I John 3 […] And this is his Commandment, that we should Believe on the Name of his Son Jesus ⟨p. 112⟩Christ. Now is Christ kept without door, and hast thou kept Gods Commandments? Christ kept out of thy Heart? Yet, Have you kept the Commandments of God? O that you would do as you say! Make haste & delay no longer to keep the Commandments of God.
