350 c Oarnionp of Mt Zitline , tt ibuuuV 59 cress ofanother World ; theyhad but a Shadow of pro- bability, we have Light of Truth brought down from Heaven by the Son ofGod, that reveals to us a Bief fednefs, that deferves our moll ardent activeAftetions. But ifMen arenot wrought on by natural Reafon, nor divine Faith; if neither the Terrors ofthe Lord, nor the bleffed Hope can perfwade them fromSin to Holinefs, tjy.rom t their condition is irrecoverable. In this the Rules of Na- d turai and Spiritual Healing agree. Where neither Cor- wit. rofaves nor Lenitives are fuccefsful, we mull ufe the Knife; ifcuttingoff be unprofitable, we muff fear the part ; ifthe Fire is uneffeáual, the Ulcer is incurable. If the threatning of Hell-fire through Unbelief and Carelefnefs isnot feared, and bath no efficacy tocorred and changeSinners,what remains but to make a prefage of eternal Death, that will unavoidably and fpeedily feize on them? And if fo clear adifcoveryof the Hea- venly Glory doth not produce inmen a living Faith that works by Love, and a lively Hope that purifies the Heart and Converfation, what can be concluded, but that they are wholly fenfual and fenfelefs, and Shall be forever deprived ofthat Bleffednefs they nowdefpife and neglet CHAP.
