Poor sinner, awake: Eternity is coming, and his Son; they are both
coming to judge the world: awake; art yet asleep, poor sinner? let
me set the trumpet to thine ear once again. The heavens will he
shortly on a burning flame; the earth and the works thereof shall be
burned up, and then wicked men shall go into perdition: dost thou
hear this, sinner?
Hark again: the sweet morsels of sin will then be fled and gone, and
the bitter, burning fruits of them only left. What sayst thou now,
sinner? canst thou drink hell-fire? will the wrath of God be a
pleasant dish to thy taste? This must be thine every day's meat and
drink in hell, sinner.
I will yet propound to thee God's ponderous question, and then for
this time leave thee: "Can thine heart endure, or can thy hands be
strong in the day that I shall deal with thee, saith the Lord?" What
sayst thou? Wilt thou answer this question now; or wilt thou take
time to do it; or wilt thou be desperate and venture all? And let me
put this text in thine ear to keep it open, and so the Lord have
mercy upon thee: "Upon the wicked shall the Lord rain snares, fire,
and brimstone, and a horrible tempest; this shall be the portion of
their cup." Repent, sinners.
CONSCIENCE.
Conscience hath its place in the soul, where it is as a judge to
discern of things good or bad, and judge them accordingly.
