BEloved , he that will be preserved and spared from danger , must be watchful over himself ; he must not be like the sluggard that Solomon speaks of , in the former part of this Chapter , at the 10th verse , crying out ; Yet a little sleep , a little slumber , a little folding of the hands to sleep . For so saith he , shall thy pover●y come as an armed man , verse 11. And as Cicero saith , The sloathful man sleepeth in his own want . And Seneca tells us that sloath is the Mother of poverty : the fruits and signs of the wicked men are comprized herein , as it was well observed of one , who said : In doing nothing , me●… lear● to do ill . Wicked men e●er walk frowardly , v. 12. But he that will be had in acceptation with the Lord , must be watchfull over his own soul , to provide in time of prosperity for times of Afflictions , as one that provideth in times of plenty , for time of want ▪ And such a person is compared to the A●t , i●… the 7.8 . verses of this Chapter , which havin● no guide , nor overseer , nor ruler , provideth her meat in Summer , & gathereth her food in the Harvest , and therefore David speaking of the blessed estate of the Righteous , saith , Psal . 1.3 . And he shall be like a Tree planted by the Rivers of Water , that bringeth forth her fruit in due season , and whatsoever he doth it shall prosper . But saith he , verse 4. The ungodly are not so , but they are like unto Chaff , which the wind driveth away . Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the Iudgment , nor sinners in the Congregation of the Righteous , for the Lo●d knoweth the way of the Righteous , but the way of the ungodly shall perish : The Lord hates ungodliness , and the ways of sinners are abomination to the Lord , the Lord abhors sin , and more especially these sins mentioned in this Text of Scripture . A proud look , and a lying tongue , and hands that shed innocent ●lood , a heart that deviseth wickedness , and féet that are swift in running to mischief , a false witness that speaketh lies , and he that ●… weth discord amongst brethren : And that I ●… ay discover unto you the filthiness and odi●… sness of these sins , I shall here speak of them 〈…〉 their order as they are here scituated , and presented to your view , that so I may plainly ●… ew you Gods indignation & hatred against ●… hem ; and also Gods hatred against all sins whatsoever . God hates all manner of sin , and ●… t is odious unto him . Therefore I shall en●… eavour at this time to present to your view : 〈…〉 say first , the loathsomness and filthiness of ●… hese , and all manner of sin . And Secondly , ●… abour to present you with some few loving Exhortations to fly your sins , I mean to persuade you to hate your sins , as they are the very enemy of your poor souls .

Nay , let me tell you , sin is that enemy that will destroy souls , it is that will cast you out of the savour and love of God .

But first , The Lord hates a proud look , Prov. 24.4 . A high look , & a proud heart , & the plowing of the wicked is sin : It was well observed of Augustine , when he said , Pride Envy , and Impatience , are the three capital enemies of mans consta●cy . For consider , in the end the Lord will pull down high & lofty spirits , Psal . 18.27 . But thou wilt save the afflicted people , and wilt bring down high looks . Consider this soul , if ever you intend to receive mercy at the hand of God : do not deceive your selves , the Lord that made you looks upo●… you , and sees you , he beholds all the Inhabitants of the Earth , Psal . 33.14 . He looked upon the Earth , and it trembled , Psal . 104.32 ▪

Secondly , A lying tongue the Lord hates , 〈…〉 lying tongue is but for a moment , Pro . 12.19 ▪ A poor man is better than a Lyar , Pro . 19.22 . Lying is a most hainous and filthy sin , & much used now a days : through a Lye Joseph was cast into Prison , & St. Chrysostom sent into Banishment : Cyrus once told the King of Arminia , that a Lye deserved no pardon , & indeed the Scripture is very full to that purpose , Rev. 21.8 . And all lyars shall have their portion in that Lake that burneth with fire and brimstone , which is the second death . Consider beloved , here is the written Word of God against lyes , he that speaketh lyes shall not escape

Thirdly , Hands that shed innocent Blood : That is also hateful , the Lord hates wicked and blood-thirsty men , Isa . 1.15 . When you spread forth your hands , I will hide mine eyes from you ▪ and when you make many prayers I will not hear , your hands are full of Blood : Hear this , all you that live in your Sins and wickedness , it is your Sins & Iniquity that defiles you & slains you with the blood of soul-murder , & so your hearts being full of iniquity , your hands are full of blood , Isa . 59.2.3 But your iniquities hath seperated betwixt ●… ou and your God , and your sins hath hid his ●… ce from you , that he will not hear ; your ●… ands are defiled wi●h blood , and your fingers●… ds with iniquity ; your lips hath spoken lyes , ●… nd your tongue hath uttered perversness .

Fourthly , A heart that deviseth wicked imaginations , the Lord hates . Wicked imaginati●… ns are a fearful and wicked sin for persons to ●… ive in God destroyed the old world because of ●… hat very sin , when God saw the imaginations of the heart to be evil , and that continu●… lly , Gen 6.5 . And God saw the wickedness of man , that it was great throughout the Earth , and that every imagination of the thoughts of the heart was only evil continually : And it repen●ed the Lord that he had made man , and it grieved him to the heart . Therefore the Lord for that very sin destroyed the old world , as you may further see in the same Chapter , O therefore happy is the man that feareth always , but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief . Prov. 28.14 .

5ly . The Lord hates Feet that are swift in running to m●schief . Saith Cicero , Where men do all that they will , they indeed presume to do that they should not , Ps. 94.20 . Shall the Throne of iniquity have fellowship wi h the which frameth mischief by a law ? and Prov. 1.16 . For their feet run to evil , and make hast to shed blood , Prov. 11.27 . He that dil●ge●tly seeketh good , procureth favour , but he tha●… seeketh mischief , it shall come unto ●im .

Sixthly , A false witness that speaketh Ly●… the Lord hates , and such a one is an abominatio● unto the Lord , Prov. 19.5 . A false wit●e●… shall not go unpunished , and he that speake●… lies shall not escape , Exod . 23.1 . Thou sha●… not raise a false report , put not thine ha●… with the wicked to be an unrighteous wit●…ness , thou art commanded not to bear fals●… witness against thy Neighbour , Mat . 19.18 . O consider , ye are guilty of the breath o●… Gods Commandements , that bear fal●e w●tness against your neighbours , and you commit abomination in the Eyes of the Lord .

And lastly , He that soweth discord amongst brethren is abomination ●o the Lord . Consider this all you that are Tale-cariers , & Medlers of other Mens matters ; Numb . 32 , 23. Be sure your sin will find you out . And Solomon saith , A saithful witness will not lye , Prov. 14.5 . Saith David , Whoso privily slandereth his Neighbour , him will I cut off , & him that hath a high look , and a proud heart , him will I not suffer , Psal . 101 , 5. And thus you may see , beloved , that these sins are hateful and abominable to the Lord , and though hand joyn in hand , the wicked shall not be unpunished , Prov. 11 , 21.

So that hence we may hear that all sin is hateful unto the Lord , and the Lord will se●… erely punish all Sinners that live and die in ●… heir Sins unrepented of : and now to apply ●… ese to our consid●rations , I shall as briefly ●… s I can speak to you from them .

And first of all Pride of heart is spoken of ●… y the looks , Mat . 1● . 34 . Ou● of the abundance ●… f the heart the mouth speaketh . The eye s●e●… ng , the heart conceiveth , & then the mouth ex●… resseth : Saith Augustine , A wanton eye is a ●… essenger of an unchast heart , Luke 6.45 . An ●… vil man out of the evil treasure of his heart , ●… ringeth forth that which is evil , for out of ●… he abundance of the heart the mouth speak●th . Pride is often seen and heard in the word : Your words hath been stout against me , saith ●… he Lord , Mal . 3 , 13. Proud Nebuchadnezzer ●… oasted himself in his words : saying , Dan. 4 , 30. Is not this great Babylon that I ●ave built for the house of the Kingdom , and the honour of my Majesty .

2ly . Pride is seen in the actions , the Daughters of Zion are haughty , and walk with stretched-forth necks , and wanton eyes , walking and mincing as they go , and making a tinkling with their feet , Isa . 3.16 .

Thirdly , Pride is seen in the Apparel and fashions of the times , and so Herod arrayed himself in go●g●●us Ap●arel , and Di●es was clad with fine Linnen and Purple , and fared deliciously every day . Beloved , consider , Go●… will call you to account for this sin of Prid●… and God will bruise you for it , if you do n●… repent of this your Pride . O that you wou●… but seriously consider this , all you that live 〈…〉 this sin of Pride ! Whose eyes is it that n●… doth not drop down floods of water ? Wh●… heart is it that is so hardened , that it will 〈…〉 be touched with this Hammer of the Word Sinners , if you continue and dye in this 〈…〉 of Pride , what do you think will become 〈…〉 your precious souls , in the great day of t●… Lord , when this very sin shall be laid to yo●… charge , and you shall be Arraigned at the 〈…〉 of Gods Iustice for it : Sure if you do not r●…pent of this devilish S●n of Pride you may g●… down to eternal misery , with the Devil tha●… first invented it : Pride is the root and original of all other Sins , and the Devil was th●… first that ever committed it . Now look abo●… you Sinners , all you that live in drunkennes●… and prophanness , and yet Pride your selve●… in these Sins : you that are Drunkards , & ca●… reckon and tell others what you have don●… in your drinking , how many Cups you drun●… at such a time together , and yet were no●… d●unken : and you saw such a man drunken , and such a man sick , and such a man you made your scorn and saughter at , because he could not indure to drink so much as you have done : and you have spent so much in Ale , and so ●… ch in Wine , and so much in Sack at one ●… ne ; and have been in such and such compa●… , and have drunk this health , and the other ●… ith . Ah! poor souls , it will not be so with 〈…〉 when you come to appear before God , and ●… se things be laid to your charge , and you ●… aie to be tumbled down into eternal woe & ●… isery for ever : And also you that are swear●… s , that prophane the Name of the Lord at ●… ery word , by your swearing ; some there are ●… at are so ready in this sin , that they can hard●… speak without swearing an Oath , and yet ●… ill not be persuaded that they do swear at 〈…〉 to give any offence ; either they say they 〈…〉 not swear so great oaths as others do , or ●… se they say it was but in their haste , and they ●… pe the Lord will not be offended for that , or ●… se they say many a better man , or many a ●… etter woman than they either are , or may be , hath sworn as great oaths as they have done , ●… e . But consider souls , the Scripture saith , ●… at . 5.34 . Swear not at all . Now our blessed ●… aviour tells us more , v. 37. That whatsoever cometh o● more than yea . yea , and nay , ●… ay , is evil . Now consider this all you sinners , Zach. 5.3 . Every one that sweareth shall be 〈…〉 o● off . Now here is a lesson for you that lo●e so much this sin of Swearing , God will meet with you either at one time or other , and will reward you and scourge you for it , Jer . 3 , 10. saith the Prophet there , Because of Swearing the Land mourneth . And Mal . 3.5 . there th●… Lord saith , he will come against , and be 〈…〉 swift witness against swearers & adulterers ▪ O Consider this , God hath a perfect hatred against your sins , God hates thy sin & my sin , 〈…〉 every sin committed against him , and therefo●… it is good for every soul to look about to it●… standing ; look about you , all you that are sinners , that are common drunkards & swearers adulterers , murderers , and back-biters , bastard-getters , lyars , and prophane persons athiests , and despisers of Gods people , for it is to you sinners that I speak unto , and it is to you only that God pronounceth his sort displeasure against , Rev. 1.8 . But the fearful , and unbelieving , & abominable Murderers , and Whore-mongers , and Sorcerers , and Idolaters , and all Lyars , shall have a part in the Lake that burns with fire and Brimstone . Oh! consider unbelievers this dreadful sentence , you have here a portion prepared for you , but it is in misery , it is & will be a portion of misery , a portion of woe and of sorrow without measure , such a portion as will be everlasting : it is not for a day , or for a year , or for a 1000 y . but it is for ever , you shall endure weeping and wailing & gnashing of téeth forever in unmeasurable woe & misery : O sinners therefore if you have any space , if you have a●… care , if you be not so hardened in your sins ●… at you cannot repent take so muc● pains as ●… o return from your former ways and courses ●… nd repent ; if you will but come with repent●… nce & godly sorrow for your sins , you shall in ●… o wi e be cast off , come unto God in the name 〈…〉 Iesus Ch●ist , beg pardon fo● your sins , come ●… i th a purpose and strong resolution to leave ●… our sins , and resolve to become new Crea●… ures , and though you should suffer for it ●… fflictions and scoffs of the wicked men of the ●… orld ; yet come , though your friends should ●… and afarr off , and though your kindred of near ●… elation should hate you for it , yet come , say ●… nto God , though thou kill me yet will I trust ●… n thee . Sinners , consider , if it were possible ●… ou could live the years of Methuselah , in as ●… reat pleasures as ever any man did live in , ●… n as perfect health as ever any man had , in ●… s great riches as ever Croe us had , and in as much honour as ever Solomon had ; nay , if a man could enjoy the whole world at his pleasure , yet it is nothing , a thousand years are soon expired : But when you have been in hell millions of thousands , your punishment is never the nearer end , and your sorrows are never the less . Consider this , Oh all you Lyars that make it a practise to lye , and set debate and dissention amongst Brethren & Friends , all you that love this sin of Lying , and live it , to you I speak , the Lord hates your sin ; Lying Tongue the Lord hates , Psa . 63.1 . T●… mouth of him that speaketh lies shall be stop●… Psal . 40.4 . Blessed is the man that maketh 〈…〉 Lord his refuge , and respecteth not the pro●… nor such as turn aside unto lies , Prov. 12.9 . lying tongue is but for a moment . Oh sinner consider what profit have you in these thin●… you may be ashamed to appear before G●… your lies will one day throw you down 〈…〉 Hell without Repentance : what hope can 〈…〉 lyar have , that hath this fearful Sentence p●…nounced against him ? All Lyars shall ha●… their portion with unbelievers , in the lake t●… burns with fire and Brimstone : No one th●… worketh abomination , or maketh a lye , sha●… enter into the Kingdom of Heaven . Conside●… this oh ! all you that are common great Lyar and count it but a small sin to tell lyes , yo●… lyes , if you live in that sin , will undo your pr●…cious souls , your lyes will turn again upo●… you , and witness against you : Lying was th●… Devils sin at the very beginning , and the Devil is the Father of all lyes , John 8.44 . Yo●… are of your Father the Devil , & the Lusts o●… your Father will ye do . He was a murdere●… from the beginning & abode not in the truth , because there is no truth in him ; when he speaketh a lye , he speaketh of his own , for he is lyar , and the Father of it ; and indeed it hath ●… een oft in my thoughts , how great this sin of ●… ing is at this day , and how little persons do ●… gard it : Is it not sad to see a time wherein ●… en bend their Tongue like a Bow to speak ●… es , Jer . 9.3 . Oh souls , if you would but con●… der of it , it might make your hearts to ●… remble to think of that filthiness of this de●… ilish sin of lying , this soul-destroying sin that ●… akes you right the devils children , and fits ●… our souls for misery in hell for ever : consider ●… his you that are Parents , keep your children ●… p , & teach them to speak the truth , fo●e-warn ●… hem of evil , use the means God hath appointed you to use , instruct them in the fear of the ●… ord , teach them to speak the truth , Prov. 22.6 . Train up a child in the way that he should walk . and when he is old , he will not depart from it . I press this the more because that at this time , lying in a common sin with many especially amongst Children , little Children can learn to lye as soon as ever they can learn to speak , they can presently learn to excuse themselves by making lyes to their Parents . Beloved , lying is a sin from the beginning , it was the very first branch that ever sprung from Pride , the Devil first Prided himself , & then by founding a lye , overthrew our first Parents in Paradise , therefore my desire is that all that hear or reads this small B●… leave this Sin of Lying , learn to speak eve●… man the Truth , and forsake the way of lyin●… Ephes . 4.15 . O consider Sinners , Sweare●… Drunkards proud Persons , Thieves , a●… Murderers , you that are such Sinners , yo●… hands are full of blood : the Devil first out 〈…〉 pride caused a branch of lying to spring up , a●… so o●ercame our first Parents , and murde●… their souls : For man being creat●d in Im●…cency his blood was innocent but through 〈…〉 delusions of Satan , transgressing the Co●…mandment the Lo●d had given him to obser●… he made him liable to death , and murder●… himself and his Posterity : beloved , no Sinn●… can be innocent , Psal . 5.6 . Thou shalt destr●… them that speak leasings , the Lord will ab●… the bloody and deceitful man . Consider this 〈…〉 you worldly rich men , you that are outwar●…ly rich , but poor in Grace : Isaiah cryes out●…gainst you , Isa . 3.15 . What mean you that y●… beat my people to pieces , and grind the fac●… of the poor ? saith the Lord of Hosts . Conside●… this all you that care not so you can get gai●… if the poor starve : you covet after the Worl●… as if it were your rest , and for ought I kno●… it may well become your portion here & her●…after it may bring you down to misery .

O souls ! For the Lords sake consider yo●… that are thus bloody minded , you have a grea●… share in this Iudgment , blood defileth both ●… ou and the Land wherein you Inhabit , Num . ●… 5.33 . bloody persons shall not live out half ●… heir dayes . O Sinners , that you would but ●… eriously consider this ; if thou be a Wicked ●… erson , but it may be that though thou be a ●… ommon prophane Sinner , thou wilt acknow●… dge no less , but that thou hast been drunk , ●… r that thou art subject to swear now and then ●… n Oath ; but happily thou ( ●t may be ) wilt say ●… hou never committed murder in all thy life , ●… ou art not a murderer , thou art not guilty ●… f such a Sin , thou art free from murder , and ●… ree from blood . But I tell thee soul ; while ●… hou livest in any known Sin , thou art a ●… urderer of thy own soul ; doth not the Scrip●… ure say , no unrighteous person shall enter ●… nto Heaven ; doth not our Saviour Christ say ●… hat except you repent , you shall all likewise ●… erish ; and he that believeth not , is condemned already : How canst thou conclude then , ●… ut that thy soul is murdered , and who is the ●… urderer but thy self ? Consider this all you ●… hat be outside Christians , formal and outward Professors ; and all you that have evil ●… earts to devise wicked imaginations , con●… ider you that imagine deceit all the day long , Gen. 5.6 . Therefore consider this Sin is ●… ateful , and how this sin doth accord with all other sins , any rational man may well co●…ceive .

The Lord help us to be watchful over o●… own hearts : And let me advise you to t●… one thing , to strive to cast down every wi●…ed Imagination , and every high Though●… 1 Cor . 10.5 . Let none imagine evil agai●… his brother in his heart , Zach. 7.10 . 〈…〉 none imagine deceit all the day long , but 〈…〉 every one labour and strive to the utterm●… of their power to endeavour to do that w●… is good and upright in the sight of God . ●…gain consider : You whose feet are swift 〈…〉 running to do mischief , God may in due ti●… meet with you in your wickedness : M●… it not be cause of great sorrow , and mourni●… to see how forward some persons are at t●… very day , to run to any manner of Sin : 〈…〉 Drunkard , how forward he is to run to 〈…〉 Tavern , the Gamester to the Game he 〈…〉 delighteth in , the Swearer he proceeds on 〈…〉 his ordinary course of Swearing : and 〈…〉 Lyar he abounds more and more in his de●…lish practise , and every Sinner in maki●… way for his Sin , and excusing himself the●… in , Prov. 10.23 . It is sport for a Fool to 〈…〉 mischief .

Wicked persons delight so much in m●…chief , that it is a sport for them to do mi●…chief , it is their delight , therefore they run to 〈…〉 , Prov. 14.9 . Fools make a mock at sin , but ●… ong the Righteous there is favour .

Consider you also that bear false Witness ●… ainst your Neighbour , by your Lying and 〈…〉 your speaking evil : you also will the Lord ●… ve a controversie with , your Sin also doth ●… e Lord hate , and you also will he reward ●… cording to your doings Num . 32.25 . Be ●… re your Sin will find you out , God will have 〈…〉 Controversie with you , and you shall not ●… cape . You are commanded not to bear ●… lse witness , yet you do it , and it may be you ●… o it against your Neighbour too , and when ●… ou thus do break the Lords Commandement , ●… ou are sowers of discord amongst brethren . ●… xod . 20.16 . And the Lord will reward you or your evil : 1 Cor . 3.8 . Every man shall ●… eceive his reward according to his doings . Beloved , I would desire you seriously to ●… onsider it , the Lord hates Sin , and every ●… alse way is abomination to him , and there●… ore my advice is , that you would strive and ●… abour to avoid Sin , as your utter Enemy ; ●… nd as it is the Enemy of your souls , and in ●… he end will destroy you for ever , God ●… ends his Servants , the Ministers of the Gospel unto you , to warn you of your Sins . ●… er . 44.4 . How be it , saith he , I send unto you my Servants the Prophets , Rising ea●… and sending them , saying , O do not this abominable thing . Beloved , Sin is an abomin●…ble thing , and therefore I would desire t●… Sin might be beaten down , and as it we trodden under foot . Oh have nothing to 〈…〉 with any Sin , it is the very enemy of yo●… poor Souls : And now Christian Friends , 〈…〉 humbly desire you , that you will accept 〈…〉 these few loving Exhortations , which I sh●… here lay down , and so conclude .

First , Seeing that Sin is that which t●… Lord hates , and that which will without t●… Lords mercy destroy your precious souls , 〈…〉 you labour to destroy your Sin , hate S●… with a perfect hatred : when any Sin presen●… it self unto you in a fair Garb , consider wh●… the wise man saith , Prov. 14.34 . Sin is a Reproach to any Nation . Consider and pond●… and say thus to thy self : If Sin be a repro●… to any Nation , then if I commit Sin it w●… danger the life of my precious Soul : Say a●… the Prophet David said , in Psal . 101.6 . Mi●… eyes shall be upon the faithful in the Lan●… that they may dwell with me . He that wal●…eth in a perfect way ▪ he shall serve me . C●… off all manner of Sin , let not Sin reign i●… your mortal Bodies , let not Sin rule ov●… you : Sin is as it were a Cart-rope to d●a●… you to Destruction , Isa . 5.18 . Oh therefore 〈…〉 watchful and forsake your Sins , count ●… em your utter Enemies , give no way nor ●… erty to Sin , Prov. 1.10 . My Son , if Sin●… rs intice thee , consent not . O that every ●… inner would turn so to this Scripture con●… nt not to commit sin upon any terms , let no ●… ticem●nts prevail with you , to commit ●… in . Consider in what estate man was at the ●… rst , Created in Paradise , and then consider ●… hat estate man was in having fallen .

First , Consider what estate man was in at ●… he first : at the first Man was Created in the ●… mage of God perfectly holy and happy , Gen 〈…〉 .27 . A most blessed and a happy estate , where●… n a man might enjoy the presence of God , and ●… ommunion with God , and perfect liberty in Paradise , a most blessed place , free from sor●… ow , free from cross , or loss a place of peace , wherein a man might freely enjoy every ●… hing but Sin ; but having once Sinned , he ●… ould not enjoy any thing at all , he must be ●… ast out , he could not enjoy the place it self .

Secondly , Consider what estate Sin made man in , it made him dead in it , Gen. 2.27 . In the day thou ●atest thereof thou shalt dye the Death , Man in his first estate by creation , was a living soul , verse 7. but having Sinned . he became dead in Sins and Trespasses . But I cannot stand upon this point , to she●… you how man became a bond-slave to Sata●… and a Child of Wrath , &c. But must proceed .

Secondly , Love a very good and holy W●… frequent the company of Gods people , labo●… ever to be in company with such as fear th●… Lord : for with the holy thou shalt be holy , 〈…〉 with the Perverse thou shalt learn pervers●…ness .

Consider , That God h●th chosen his Pe●…ple in Iesus Christ , that they should be ho●… Ephes . 2.4 . God is a holy God , and therefo●… Holiness becometh his house , and his people 〈…〉 Learn therefore , saith Christ of me , for I a●… meek and lowly , and you shall find rest f●… your souls , Mat . 11.22 .

Thirdly , Forsake evil Companions , 〈…〉 Drunkards , Swearers , Whore-mongers 〈…〉 and Adulterers , B●anglers , Lyars , and Idolaters , and every one in whom appears ev●… forsake Pride and proud persons , 1 Thes . 5 ▪ 22. Abstain from all appearances of evil , hav●… nothing to do with sin , but flee from it a●… from the Devil , k●ll it in every appearance , and constantly hate it .

Fourthly , Dally not with any bosome Sin that you are in love with , it may be you have some Sin wherein you delight , but though it he so cast it away , have nothing to do with it : if it be as dear to you as your right eye , ●… uck it out and cast it from you : Yea , if it be 〈…〉 useful to You as your right hand , cut it off ●… d cast it from You . Mat . 5.29.30 .

Lastly , To conclude , Close with Iesus ●… hrist , put on the Lord Iesus Christ , and ●… ake no provision for the Flesh , Iesus Christ 〈…〉 a comely Garment , O therefore imbrace ●… im , that he may imbrace You : Lay hold on ●… esus Christ ; and though thou hast grievously ●… fended , do so no more , Rev. 2.5 , Remember ●… om whence thou art fallen , and repent , and ●… ome home to God in the name of Jesus Christ ●… nd be humbled before him : Sin no more lest 〈…〉 worse thing befall thee . Strive to enter in ●… t the straight Gate , that shall lead thy soul to ●… verlasting happiness , and bring thee unto ●… eaven in the end , where there is pleasure un●… efiled , and Ioy unspeakable , World with●… ut end . Amen .
