Chains
are
fit
for

Sinners
,
that
they
may
not

,
nor
be

Death
.
Those
Iron
Chains
were
no
sooner
fastned
on
the
Demoniac
,
then
broken
;
but
the
Satan
can
never
break
;
the
Almighty
Ruler
of
Heaven
,
Earth
and
Hell
,
has
chained
him
up
in
the
bottomless
Pit
.
Thus
it
is
with

all
Bonds
of
Restraint

commonly
burst
by
the
fury
of

Any
regard
to

,
to
Civility
,
to
a
Dread
of

,
to

Laws
,
and

,
are
no
more
to
the
desperately
Licentious
,
than
Cobwebs

an

:
Yet
let
these
wildest
Wretches
know

God
has
provided
Bonds
for
them

Oh
that

would
suffer
themselves
to

and

Recognizance

hereof

the
warm
Zeal
of
many
Justices
of

for

of

,
seem
to
be
an
happy
Token
of
the
lengthning
out
of

Tranquillity
;

is
a
plain
Demonstration
,
that

our
Eyes

I
hope
(
without

the
suspicion
of
Flattery
)
I
may
reckon
it
as
your
Priviledge
,
of

The

illustriously
on

in

Declarations
of
the
Gospel
,

few
are
begotten
of

I
rejoice
in

has
visited

Your
Presence

as
it

so
your
Countenancing
of
Religion
is
an
Encouragement
to
others
to
look
Heaven-ward
:
May
the
Knowledge
of
the
Blessed
Jesus
increase
in
your
Mind
,
by
the
Holy
Spirits
May
your
Graces
be
as
Resplendent
as
your
Honour
,
your
Relish
of
Heavenly
Things
be
daily
sweeter
,
and
your
believing
estimate
of
Divine
Objects
be
much
higher
than
any
peculiar
value
which
your
greatest
Admirers
can
express
towards
you
on

said
unto

sell
whatsoever
thou
hast

give
to

thou
shalt
have
treasure

up

he
was

at
that

went
