A prospect of eternity. Wherein is clearly proved, I. That there is an eternity…

2. Sin would plunge me into unseen Eternal Torments, into Endless Flames, and ⟨p. 53⟩Everlasting Burnings: If you could speak with a Soul departed but a Month ago, and ask him, what do you now think of the delights of Sin, of sporting on the Sabbath day, of your pleasant Cups, and Delightful Games; of pleasing of the Flesh, and gratifying of its Lusts? What a sad reply would he return, and what a doleful answer would he make you? Sin! Oh that was it that was my ruin; that was it, which hath brought me (miserable wretch) to Everlasting Torment; that was it, which shut me out of Heaven, that sunk me down to Hell. O ye foolish Sons of Men, that are yet in time, be not mad, as I was mad; and do not do as I did: let not the seen pleasures and profits of the world, which I have found, were but for a time, deceive you, and bewitch you: the Devil showed me the seen delights of Sin, but concealed from me the Extremity and Eternity of the pain that it hath brought me to; the pleasure is past, and the pain continues, and I am lost for ever! and all this Sin hath brought me to. Let your Eyeing of Eternity whilst you are standing in time, be instead of one ⟨p. 54⟩speaking to you in time, that hath been in Eternity, for the Eternal God doth tell you, as much as any Damned Soul can tell you, and would you believe one from Hell, and not the Son of God that came from Heaven? Oh look and view Eternity in the Glass of the Scripture, and firmly believe it and it will make slaughtering work among your Sins, and destroy that which would damn you.
