A short Exhortation to all those who wilfully commit the above-mentioned Crimes.

ALas! what will become of poor Sinners, that will boldly and audaciously persist in their Iniquities! What can you expect from a God so justly offended as yours is, but Everlasting misery! a heap of unquenchable Torments! the noysome smells of Fire and Brimstone! the unwelcome company of Fiends and Devils? Oh! consider, poor Sinners, are momentary Pleasures, or present sinful De∣lights, to be prized at such a rate, as that you will run the hazard of an Eternal overthrow, for an invalu'd injoyment? Will you not believe what God hath said, That Swearers, Blasphemers, A∣dulterers, VVhoremongers, Drunkards, and many others, shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven?, This is a dreadful Sentence, to be banisht from Gods presence into utter darkness; where is nothing but fearful Fiends to torment you for ever: but in Heaven, there you shall be blessed with Saints and Angels singing Hallelujahs for ever; and that we may partake of these Eternal joys, shall be the wish of your Friend
