Quote 4616

When the fire was in London, I believe few of you could take much sleep for divers nights together. When the fire was burning in your streets and burning down your houses, you could not sleep in your houses lest the fire should have burned your persons too. And when the fire of lust is within you and burning within you; when the fire of God's anger is kindled above you and burning over you; and the fire of hell, so dreadful and unextinguishable, is burning beneath you; and you are hanging over the burning lake by a twinethread, which, ere long, will untwine of itself and may, ere you are aware, and suddenly, be cut or snapped asunder, and then you must drop into the midst of flames. Can you sleep under the guilt and power of sin when you are in such danger? Awake! Sinners, awake!
