beautiful Prospect of Life should tempt us to be vertuous or the dismal Apparitions of Death should affright us from our Vice when half that force employ'd against our Vanities and Corruptions would suffice to take Heaven it self by violence and make us for ever happy But when Men have once sold themselves to work wickedness how obstinately do they refuse to hear their own Reason speak How do they disdain to be reclaim'd though it be by the Word of God! That word which is piercing as a two-edged sword they labour to put by with all their art and defend themselves against it with the whole Artillery of the Devil with the Helmet of Pride the Shield of Obstinacy and the Breast-plate of Unbelief Armour that is hardned in the bottomless Pit they maintain a desperate Cause and wage a senseless War against the Powers of Heaven So dangerous a thing is it to give way to Disobedience that by degrees it betrays us into Unbelief and by slighting the notions of Good and Evil we come at last to make no difference between Life and Death Thus the Devil who is conscious of his own doom and officious to prevent the like in us teaches us not to believe for fear we should tremble too and the terrours of the Lord are the very reason why some men will not be perswaded But let us bring more tractable dispositions to the word of God and when he sets before us life and good and death and evil let us for our Information submit to his Judgment and in our Choice let us comply with his desires 'T is no disparagement for the wisest Man to be instructed and surely 't is no condescension for the greatest Man to be sav'd If we are desirous of Life we know now upon what terms it must be had if we will still follow after Evil we know what will be the consequence nay the consequence will fall the heavier upon us for this very reason because we know it our condemnation will be the more just our death the more unpitied because it has been so often and so plainly set before us Seeing therefore we have so many Sins and sinful ignorances to be accounted for let not our knowledge also be number'd amongst our transgressions let not our means of grace and opportunities of Glory come to inflame our Reckoning against the great Day of Account Many a time have we been admonish'd of our Sins and now once more are we forewarn'd of our danger See I have set before you this day also life and good and death and evil God grant that we may even in this our day see the things that belong unto our Good before they are hidden from our eyes FINIS BOOKS Printed for Walter Kettilby at the Bishop's Head in St. Paul's Church-Yard DR Burnet's Theory of the Earth the two last Books concerning the Conflagration of the World and the new Heavens and the new Earth Fol.
