A41649	A word to sinners, and a word to saints The former tending to the awakening the consciences of secure sinners, unto a lively sense and apprehension of the dreadfull condition they are in, so long as they live in their natural and unregenerate estate. The latter tending to the directing and perswading of the godly and regenerate unto several singular duties. As also a word to housholders stirring them up to the good old way of serving God in and with their families, from Joshuah's resolution, Josh. 24. 15. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Set forth especially for the use and benefit of the inhabitants of St. Sepulchres Parish, London by Tho. Gouge, late pastor thereof.	Gouge, Thomas, 1605-1681.	1668 (1668)	Wing G1371; ESTC R222576	207,485	324

we_o hate_v and_o detest_v they_o and_o groan_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o they_o we_o watch_v against_o they_o fight_v against_o they_o earnest_o desire_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o they_o cry_v

mighty_a to_o the_o great_a hindrance_n of_o our_o duty_n and_o darken_n all_o our_o comfort_n 2._o corruption_n do_v not_o only_o remain_v in_o we_o as_o long_o as_o we_o live_v in_o this_o world_n but_o it_o be_v always_o in_o continual_a work_n either_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o evil_a or_o keep_v we_o from_o that_o which_o be_v good_a or_o defile_v our_o best_a action_n in_o which_o respect_n 5.17_o say_v the_o apostle_n the_o flesh_n lust_v against_o the_o spirit_n and_o from_o his_o own_o experience_n he_o cry_v out_o 7.23_o i_o see_v another_o law_n in_o my_o member_n war_a against_o the_o law_n of_o my_o mind_n and_o bring_v i_o into_o captivity_n to_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v in_o my_o member_n so_o that_o i_o can_v do_v the_o good_a which_o i_o will_v but_o rather_o do_v the_o evil_n which_o i_o hate_v how_o do_v it_o then_o concern_v we_o daily_a and_o hourly_o to_o fight_v and_o strive_v against_o these_o lust_n which_o be_v continual_o work_v and_o war_a in_o

3._o by_o a_o conscionable_a performance_n of_o this_o duty_n we_o shall_v be_v free_v from_o those_o heinous_a and_o scandalous_a sin_n into_o which_o other_o man_n lust_n do_v carry_v they_o shall_v corruption_n have_v its_o way_n and_o course_n without_o resistance_n in_o the_o best_a of_o we_o it_o will_v soon_o break_v forth_o into_o the_o most_o loathsome_a and_o disgraceful_a sin_n that_o

call_v to_o mind_n and_o lay_v to_o heart_n the_o ensue_a consideration_n 1._o consider_v the_o shortness_n of_o the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n with_o the_o length_n of_o the_o punishment_n follow_v thereupon_o without_o true_a and_o unfeigned_a repentance_n the_o one_o for_o a_o moment_n the_o other_o everlasting_a the_o pleasure_n be_v but_o short_a but_o the_o punishment_n be_v for_o ever_o and_o ever_o the_o torment_n of_o the_o damn_a in_o hell_n be_v intensive_o most_o grievous_a in_o themselves_o but_o that_o which_o main_o and_o infinite_o add_v to_o the_o greatness_n of_o they_o

therefore_o call_v unquenchable_a fire_n oh_o what_o a_o folly_n must_v it_o then_o needs_o be_v yea_o and_o madness_n beyond_o admiration_n for_o the_o short_a fruition_n of_o these_o perish_a

where_o the_o damn_v will_v think_v themselves_o happy_a if_o after_o they_o have_v endure_v they_o so_o many_o thousand_o year_n as_o there_o be_v sand_n on_o the_o seashore_n or_o star_n in_o the_o
