A KEY TO OPEN Heaven-Gate OR A ready Path to lead to HEAVEN Written and Printed for the benefit of all true Christians to read hear and make good use of before it be too late And therefore I advise every Man and every woman to observe and give good heed to what is spoken in this little Book and they shall be sure to finde sweetnesse and happinesse in this world and eternall joys in the world to come through the Might Merits and Mercies of Jesus Christ who saith Aske and you shall have seeke and yee shall finde knock and it shall be opened unto you Written by Laurence Price London Printed for T. Vere at the sign of the Angel without Newgate 1666. A Key to Open Heaven-Gate Or A ready way to lead men to Heaven Here followeth good and sound Directions to set Men in the ready way to Heaven which way if they mistake they are never like to come there DEar and beloved Christians I would have you thus much to understand that all those that have a desire to goe to Heaven must well and wisely endeavour themselves to follow this Path-way First you must truly and unfeignedly labour to serve God and obey his Commandements which is a duty that ought to be done without any grudgings murmurings or delays for he that is alive to day may be dead before to morrow and then it will be too late to look after a way that they never sought for in their life time and therefore I davise you all good Christans to séek the Lord while he may be found for he his a God of truth of Iustice of Peace of Mercy of Love and such a one as would have all Men and woman to be saved Secondly here is another duty to be preformed by all Men that will find the ready way to Heaven as your brother is your ueighbor even so is your neighbour is your brother therefore ought every man and woman to love cherish and comfort each other and to live in peace and unity one with another and not to wrangle brabble fight scold and go to Law until they have undone one another for they that do such things are gone far out of the way to Heaven Remember therefore what our Saviour Christ saith in the Gospel A new Commandment give I unto you see that you love one another for if you love not your neighbour whom you see every day how can you love God whom you never saw therefore consider and take heed in time what you do he that hateth his neighbour hateth his brother and he that hateth his brother hateth God and he that hateth God will never find the way to Heaven and therefore I desire all them that are called by the name of Christians to shew themselves like Christians laying aside all hatred spight envy malice lying slandring backbiting hypocrisie and dissimulation and withall to break such bread as you w●uld have broken and likewise to do unto all men as you would they should do unto you This be sure is the readiest way for to please God and the nearest way to Heaven Yet more then this is to be done before you come to your journeys end You must repent you of all your former iniquities you must be good to them y t have done evil to you and must forgive them their trespasses as you look to be forgiven at the hands of God And so farre must your mindes and your hearts be given to quietness that you must not so much as to let the sun go down while you are in wrath For vengeance is mine saith the Lord and I will repay it In the next place every christian ought at all times very early and late to pray unto the Lord that he will add a blessing to their endeavours and the better to be imployed let them follow after Gods Preachers and heare them Preach and Teach that are both able and willing to declare the word of God unto them and so by degrées they shall find the mercies of the Lord redoubled unto them and thereby they shall be brought to ripeness of understanding whereby to know and distinguish betwéen good and bad which may be great furtherance to them in the way to Heaven True knowledge is of such an excellent vertue that it is sufficient to bring us acquainted with the principall things that are to be had in this life and after this life ended it shall bring our Soules into everlasting happiness True knowledge wil make you understand that God the Father Created us that God the Son redéemed us and that God the holy Ghost sanctified vs preserveth all those that faithfully believe that our Lord Saviour Iesus Christ suffered death upon the Crosse to save our souls from the tyranny of the divel and from the torments of Hell as you may read in the 13 Chap. of the Gospel written by St Matthew where it is said Blessed be your eys for they see and your ears for they hear and your hearts for they understand And to be brief true knowledge and understanding may very well be termed a Key to open the gates of Heaven Then what man or woman will be so wilfully blind as to neglect the séeking for such an excellen● vertue yet there are some and too many in these sinful wicked times that are so carelesse and regardless that they had rather choose to follow the vain delights and pleasures of this wicked world than to séek for the Redemption of their souls and the joyes of Heaven hereafter whom our Saviour Christ bought and paid for with his most precious blood Some there are likewise that bear a shew of Godliness yet they cannot or will not spaire an hour in a day to hear a good Sermon or to serve God in Others their are that do utterly deny and as it were to make a scoff of the Scriptures and the word of God but I wish that all such persons may spéedily amend their lives lest at the last day the righteous Iudge of all the world Iesus Christ shal say unto them Depart from me ye workers of iniquity But now beloved Christians I would have you to consider and think on this that y e day of vengeance is near at hand and every soul shall stand at the Barr of Araignment before the righteous Iudge to tender up an account of al their déeds and actions good and evil and then shall the good be severed from the bad and the one sort with joy and triumph be received into everlasting happiness the rest be cast into utter darkness where is nothing else to be heard or séen but weeping howling and gnashing of teeth Moreover I would have you to consider that at the generall judgement there are none to be excused from comming to their answers and every one shall be forced to appear in their persons the rich and the poor the King and the Beggar the strong and the weak the bound and the
