Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.Sect. 1. Of the necessity of the Cross of Christ in general; yet the little regard christians have to it. 2. The degeneracy of Christendom, from purity to lust, and moderation to excess. 3. That worldly lusts and pleasures are become the care and study of christians, so that they have advanced upon the impiety of infidels. 4. This defection a second part to the Jewish tragedy, and worse than the first: the scorn chris tians have cast on their Saviour. 5. Sin is of one nature all the world over; sinners are of the same church, the devil's children: profession of religion in wicked men, makes them but the worse. 6. A wolf is not a lamb, a sinner cannot be (whilst such) a saint. 7. The wicked will persecute the good; this false Christians have done to the true, for non-compliance with their superstitions; the strange carnal measures false Christians have taken of Christianity; the danger of that self-se duction. 8. The sense of that has obliged 'me to this discourse, for a dissuasive against the world's lusts, and an invitation to take up the daily Cross of Christ, as the way left us by him to blessedness. 9. Of the self-condemnation of the wicked; that religiomand worship are comprised in doing the will of God.The advantage good men have upon bad men in the last judgment. 10. A supplication for Christ endom, that she may not be rejected in that great assize of the world.She is exhorted to consider, what relation she bears to Christ; if her Saviour, how saved, and for what: what her experience is of that great work.Fthat Christ came to save from sin, and wrath by consequence; not save men in sin, but from it, and so the wages of it.; PDF; Politics, Philosphy & Religion > Religion & beliefs > Christianity, Forgotten Books<
