The very thought of an eternal Hell inter-vening ( and it will often intrude itself)strikes a cold damp to his very Heart in themidst of his Jollities, and will much qualifieand allay all his Pleasures and Enjoyments.Rid him of this fear, and he will be apt todespite Hell and all its Torments, be they: never so grievous or lasting. Take offI this Bridle, and, as we hinted before, hei will rulh into Sin, as a Horse rujhetb into; the lattel. He will be ready thereupon thusj to argue with himself, What need I take loI much pains to strive against Sin ? What needI swim against the Stream , and resist theTide and Eddy of my Passions, my naturalAppetites and Inclinations, and the Solicita-tions of Company ? What need I maintainsuch a constant Watch and Ward against mySpiritual Enemies, the Devil, the World,and the Flesh ? If I fall into Hell at last,that is no eternal State, it lasteth but for atime, and will come to an end. I’ll venture| it: 1 hope I shall make a shift to rub throughwell enough. Let me ask thee, But howif thou shouldest find thy self mistaken ? Ifthe Event frustrate thy Hopes, and fall outcontrary to thy Expectation ? What a fidcase wilt thou be in then ? How will theunexpectedness thereof double thy Misery >D d x Improvises
