O that you may be persuaded to leave your Sins, and come unto Christ by Faith, turning unto him, the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, and pardoneth Iniquity, Transgression, and Sin: Otherwise your formal attending on outward Ordinances, and a Regard for his Prophets, will be of small Account to you. For as every Part of our Conduct will be tried in the Judgment of the great Day, so will our Sermon-hearing be brought before the Judge of Quick and Dead; and if the Word of the Lord hath not proved the Savour of Life unto Life unto you, it will become the Savour of Death unto Death; it will either save or damn you; if it doth not administer to your Salvation, it will increase your Condemnation.
