Chap. 11. verse Say unto them as I live saith the Lord God I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked but that he turn from his evill way and live turn ye turn ye from your evill wayes for why will you dye O house of Israel THe Great God that made the Heaven and Earth and all the living Creatures therein and hath Redéemed you by his Son Christ Iesus You that were lost and undone sinners to you hath he sent his Gospel the glad tydings of peace and to you hath he given this priviledge that as many as believe on him shall have eternal life as many as turn to him shall live and those that turn not shall dye This is the unchangeable will and Law of God that wicked men must turn or dye For sée the very words of Christ Matth. 18.3 Verily I say unto you except you be converted and become as little Children ye cannot enter into the Kingdom of heaven And John 3.3 Without holinesse no man shall see the Lord. And in the 11. Psal ver 5. The Lord loveth the Righteous but the wicked his soul hateth So that it is brought to this that wicked men must turn or dye 1. From which words you must observe First The pitty and love of Ood to lost undone soules that he condescends to reason the case with them thus Why will you dye That the Almighty and powerful God should stoop to dust and ashes Marein is his great love shown That he delighteth not in the death of a sinner but rather that he would turn and live God would not have them go in the way that leads to Hell but calls to them daily by the mouth of his Prophets to turn and live and tells them there is no peace to the wicked Isa 48.11 Isa 37.21 God tells them the love of the world is enmity with God and if any man love the world the love of the Father is not in him Yet for all this worldly they are and worldly they will he If the way to hell be through the world then to hell they will go Oh that men would she the folly of their own wayes and turn to the Lord Then should they sée the Loveliness and Beauty that is in the wayes of God and the Torment and Anguish that follows the love of the World Oh that wicked men would thus converse with their own soules Is it so that I must turn or dye must be converted or condemned ' Its time for me then to look about me how have I foolishly dentured the loss of my precious soul these many years how comes it to pass that God should take more care of my soul then my self Oh God for bid that I should neglect this any longer Must I turn or dye Oh happy day oh happy hour that is that 's lest me to Repent in Now will I set on a resolution to get assurance of my salvution before I give any sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eye lids By the grace of God I le resolve presently to turn and to forsake my former courses and give my self up to goioance of the Lord God Shall the Lord be thus compassionate to my poor Soul as to delight in my Salvation And shall I Miserable Wretch delight in my Damnation shall God say unto me turn and shall I not resolve to turn 1. Consider first That it is the inviolable and unchangeable Law of God that wicked men must turn or dye Romans 8.8 Now if any man be in the flesh he cannot please God Psal 11.5 The Lord loveth the righteous but the wicked his soul hateth Psal 7.16 The wicked shall be turned into hell and all the Nations that forget God These Texts are plain enough to the view of every poor soule If thou art one that believest here is enough to satisfie thée that wicked and ungodly men they must either turn or dye be converted or condemned if you sée not ' it s because you are wilfully blind To what purpose doth God send his Messengers to warn you if you will not beliede God by the mouth of his Prophets who doth intreat you to vs reconciled yet you lend the deaf ear to them Yet let me tell you if you will not hear the voice of God here pronouncing sentence of Salvation to you yet you shall hear his voyce pronouncing the Sentence of condemnation against you hereafter I beséech you therefore as you love your souls not to quarrell with God and his word but stoop to it Are you yet unconverted know this that ers long you must be converted or else condemned I beséech you therefore neglect not your own happinesse any longer least you be guilte of your own blood Read but the 8. verse of this 33. of Ezekiel and you shall sée how the case stands When I say to the wicked wicked man thou shalt surely dye If thou dost not speak to warn the wicked man of his way the wicked man shall die in his iniquity but his blood wil I require at thy hands You sée there that the Ministers of the Gospel must preach and you must hear and let me tell you it is easter to hear of hell then féell it and yet though you think it a unwelcome Doctrine that the Ministers of the Gospell should galt your tender ears with truths that séeme so harsh and grievous Yet it is the duty of every faithfull Minister of Christ to deal truly and faithfully with souls for we shall in no wise escaps unlesse we strive to enter in at the narrow way which leadeth unto life For Salvation or Condemnation will suddenly bring all things to an end and when it is too late we shall here some crying out What have I done what foolish courses have I taken upon what low accounts have I ventured the eternall welfare of my poore soul would I had but considered this a little before but alas now it is too late the Sentence is past and I am hurryed into everlasting
