There is no man hut is a sinner; there is no sin hut would damn an
angel, should God lay it to his charge.
Sinner, the doctrine of Christ crucified cries therefore aloud unto
thee, that sin has made thy condition dreadful. See yourselves, your
sins, and consequently the condition that your souls are in by the
death and blood of Christ Christ's death gives us the most clear
discovery of the dreadful nature of our sins.
I say again, if sin he so dreadful a thing as to break the heart of
the Son of God, how shall a poor, wretched, impenitent, damned
sinner wrestle with the wrath of God?
Awake, sinners; you are lost, you are undone, you perish, you are
damned; hell-fire is your portion for ever, if you abide in your
sins, and be found without a Saviour in the dreadful day of
judgment.
Sinner, doth not all this discourse make thy heart twitter after the
mercy that is with God, and after the way that is made by this
plenteous redemption thereto? Methinks it should; yea, thou couldest
not do otherwise, didst thou but see thy condition. Look behind
thee, take a view of the path thou hast trodden these many years.
Dost thou think that the way that thou art in will lead thee to the
strait gate, sinner? Ponder the path of thy feet with the greatest
seriousness; thy life lies upon it; what thinkest thou? But make no
answer till in the night, till thou art in the night-watches;
commune with thine own heart upon thy hed, and there say what thou
thinkest of whither thou art going.
