Men to be active in regaining their lost Souls. [ 1777]

IT is said of Xerxes, the greatest of the Persian Princes, that when the Graecians had taken from him Sardis,* 1.1 a famous City in Asia the lesse (in S. Iohn's time one of the seaven Churches) charged, That every day at dinner, some one or other speaking with a loud voice, should remember him, that the Graecians had taken the City of Sardis from him:* 1.2 But what shall poor Sinners do, that have lost more then a City, even their pretious Souls, which are of more worth then all the World besides; Let them then give their Redeemer no rest by in∣cessant Prayers, till he deliver them, and repair their ruines, let them still be calling upon him to remember his losse and theirs (for theirs are his) till they have regained by him that which was at first taken from them by the Enemy, ••ven the Image of their God, after which they were created.
