2. But thou hast been Punished and art like to die too Yea and hast been troubled for thy Sins very much and thou hopest God has more Mercy than after all this to damn thee to Hell. Answ Sinner I pray God give thee thy sight These things are true 1. An everlasting Hell it self is not more than our Sins do deserve God is far from Unmerciful in damning Sinners so incorrigible 2. The Tears and the Blood of a Creature are no satisfaction for Sin thy burning in Hell for the space of a million of years will not expiate the guilt of one vain Thought Obj. 3. I put my trust in my God and Saviour and I hope to be saved without the ado you make about Conviction and Compunction and Vnion some may say Answ Deluded Soul O that thou wouldst consider 1. In all the book of God we are taught there 's no Salvation but in these ways of his Soveraign Wisdom and Mercy 2. By this it 's plain you know not God nor what it is to Trust in Him but do only Presume blasphemously that He is such an one as your self and is neither Holy nor Just 3. You wil believe in his Promises directly contrary to the condition required in 'em and you will not believe his Threatnings against impenitent unreformed Sinners tho' ratified with his Oath Obj. 4. Why says another what profit can you assure me of if I should to my utmost endeavour all that you advise Answ 1. And what if I could not Assure thee of any Profit Wouldst thou do nothing upon very Probability If 't were but Probable that the King would grant a Petition for thy Life wouldst refuse any possible labour to get one presented The whole World acts upon Probabilities 2. But well I can Assure thee of benefit no less than Eternal For suppose the worst that thy endeavours prevail not unto Saving Conversion yet will they prevail to a lessening of thy Torments in Hell for ever Every degree of contempt greatens them every degree of endeavour lessens them On the other hand if unto thy utmost thou endeavour there 's no just reason for the frightful conclusion that 't will be Uneffectual unto Salvation And if it be not thy certain Profit is too great for Angel's Tongues to express A comprehensive fore-sight of it would work wonders in thee Enquire if thou know not what things are these ten 1. Justification 2. Adoption 3. Sanctification of the Holy Spirit 4. Acceptation of all Duties with God. 5. Title unto all the Promises of the glorious Gospel 6. Inseparable and honourable Vnion to God. 7. Peace and Joy in Conscience 8. Victory over sinful Love of Life and Fear of Death 9. Glorious Resurrection of thy Body 10. Boldness in the day of Judgment and Admission into heavenly Glory If I were sure I should never get I wou'd Live and Die in the pursuit of these Up Sinner up and be Doing and know this If but one man now i' the World were to be Saved I wou'd Try to be the Man and if but one were to be Damn'd I wou'd Tremble and carefully endeavour to make sure that I should not be He. O that these six Memorandums were nailed on thy Memory they have done others good why not thee M. 1. 'T is God in Christ only that can save thee 2. He invites thee to Salvation even yet 3. Vpon gracious terms He Promises He will Save thee 4. He commands thee by all his Authority to accept it on his Terms 5. He will Rejoice over thee with Singing if thou dost accept it 6. And Oh the Love He will Weep over thee if after all thou wilt Destroy thy self unperswadably Sinner Sinner I can tell thee of one that heard a Voice No Mercy no Mercy and yet was perswaded to Endeavour and did Convert and did obtain Mercy Remember it Despair is full as bad as Presumption and divine Mercy is not a jot less than Justice Obj. 5. I cannot say I do not Repent and Believe and that sincerely but if I do 't is with a sadly weak Repentance and Faith and such as I am ashamed of and cannot believe the holy Judge of all the Earth will accept Answ Say it be so and say that 't is but the lowest place in Heaven that thou shalt be set in Is any Seat there Uneasie O man know and Joy in it 'T is Truth of Grace that is thy Life The look of the weakest eye unto the brazen Serpent did heal as truly as the look of the strongest Upon the very first sincere Acceptation of Father Son and Spirit to be thine thro' the blessed Mediator and Resignation of thy self to be theirs thro' the same only Propitiation 't is sure thy Mittimus to Hell is stopt and superseded thy Pass to Heaven is granted He will deliver thy Soul from going down into the Pit and thy Life shall see the Light Job 33.28 Benhadad escaped by casting himself on the Mercy of the King of Israel It shall never repent thee if in his holy appointed way thou ca●t thy self on the King of Heaven's Mercy Heaven cannot shut nor Hellopen unto a Soul sincerely weary of all the Sin it hath and sick of desire for all the grace it wants I should think thee in Hells mouth If I heard thee uttering boasts of having all Grace or content as having enough They that have most do all cry that 't is next to none that they have And the higher they get in holy Qualifications the lower they fall in their Apprehensions of themselves He that giveth Grace to the Humble maketh them yet more Humble by all the Grace He gives them I would rather be the worst Humble man than the best Proud one in the World and specially the spiritually Proud. Well in a word Beg the Holy Spirit to keep thee from both extreams from Dreaming of safety while building on the Sand and from Despairing of Mercy when thou buildest on the Rock Christ Now O every one of you needy Souls that I address unto may you know the things of your Peace in the short span of your time that remains If this little Gospel-Net catch but one Fish among you I win more than a World. But I have sent up Prayers to Him that can make it take take thousands of you that He would so do And take all the Glory of it unto Himself when He has done it Sirs I shall be certified that He hath granted my Cryes if ever I shall hear that you grant me but these Requests which conclude my Call unto you They are for your observance of these rules in your endeavouring if indeed you will endeavour to Reconcile you to God e're ye Dye R. 1. That you enter on it with such Solemnity as such a Work well deserves Get as many Godly Ministers and Friends as you can to come joyn with you in Fasting and Prayer for divine Blessing on your great enterprize Testifie to your God to your
