Let all ungodly Persons be now called upon to Take-heed of that Mad Life which will bring a Sad-Death upon them at the Last. To speak Reason unto such as are Mad, may seem a Mad and a Vain Attempt. But that God who hid His Minister to Prophesy over the Dead, ha's made it a Reasonable Thing for us also to, Prophesy over the Mad. Let me then Apply my self to all those Carnal and Careless people ⟨p. 25⟩here, that are Madly pursuing the Interests of the Flesh, and the World and the Devil, and Forsaking their own Mercies. Poor Souls, what a Wretched and a Raving State is it that you are in? It was denounced as a very direful Calamity, in Deut 28. 28. The Lord shall smite thee, with madness. Tis that which every despiser of Christ and Life, and Holiness, is most Prodigiously Smitten with. But, O Stop, O Stand, O Come to a little Consideration, if you can, before you, Go to the Dead, and the Cure be, All too Late! Though Sinners are desperately Mad, yet with a Word of Advice God can make a Word of Power, to reach unto their Souls, and they may be made Sober if the All-sufficient Grace of God accompany His dispensations. 1 I First Bow my knees unto the Father of Spirits, for the Concurrence of His Grace, and I shall then set before every ungodly Sinner, these few Directions for the Cure of his Madness.
