HOw might this awaken Sinners, and be a means to turn them from Spiritual Darkness to Light; and from Satan, the Prince of Darkness, to God: Oh! that these closing, direful, and amazing Lines, might turn many to Righteousness, to believe, repent, and obey the Gospel, before the Lord Jesus come in flaming Fire, rendring Vengeance upon all that know not God, nor obey the Gospel.

II. How just will the Condemnation of such rebellious Sinners be, who will neither be drawn by the tenders of Mercy and Salvation to Jesus Christ, and of an enjoyment of Heaven through him, nor be deterred from their sinful Course, by all the threatned Judg∣ments; nay tho it extend to Hell it self, to the Fire of Hell, to the blackness of Darkness for ever! Oh! were there not Eternity written upon the Gate of the broad way that leads to Destruction, the Damned might have some hope, tho it were not till hundreds of thousands of Millions of Years were expired: But O Sinners! when once this dark dismal Dungeon hath shut its Mouth upon you, and you come with the Devil and his Angels to lie therein, you can never come out more, never see Light more, never have ease from intollerable Tor∣ment more; no Father, Husband, Wife, &c. can come to light so much as a Candle, or dip the tip of a Finger in Water to cool your Tongue.

III. Let the Redeemed of the Lord rejoyce and magnify the God of their Salvation, who hath given them good hope through Grace, that they are delivered from Wrath to come, by being called out of Spiritual Darkness into Christ's marvellous Light, and by him have escaped that dreadful Doom, of being cast out into utter Darkness.
