David Jones and Thomas Passenger

“ For the Lord's sake chuse not cursing, but blessing; chuse not death, but life, chuse not hell, but heaven; chuse not sin, but Christ; tho' you have formerly slighted him, if you will now regard him; tho' you have formerly contemned him, yet if you will praise him; tho' you have formerly resisted, if yet you will yield, if you will consent, if yet you will become willing to open unto Christ, Christ will be yours, mercy will be yours, salvation will be yours.
And what would you have more? What! will not all this do? Will not mercy allure you? Will not love constrain you? ”

“ Oh how will men and angels hiss at you! This is the person who for lust's sake forsook his mercies, who for a little vanity rejected his own salvation : O how wilt thou curse thyself for nothing! Nay for that which is worse than nothing, thou hast put off Christ and his salvation: Therefore men, brethren and fathers, hearken unto me, as Moses said to the Israelites, so this day I propound unto you Blesing and cursing, life and death! Salvation if you open to Christ, and damnation if you refuse Christ. ”

“ As long as thou refusest to hear Christ's voice, thou hast a hell upon earth: it is not the multitude of thy companions that go thither, shall any whit lessen thy torments, but rather increase them. Thy life that hath been full of worldly joy, shall end in deadly woe. ”

“ Think on hell, and think on sin, and carnal pleasures and delights, consider how they will relish with thee, when thus assaulted with everlasting fire: are these the price for which thou sellest thy soul to hell? Oh! bid these lusts and pleasures be gone, bid your companions in sin be gone, and tho' you loved them well, and have spent your time sinfully with them, yet tell them, You must not burn for them, that you will not damn your soul to please your flesh. ”

“ When thou diest, thou shalt be a damned creature? whilst thou livest, thou art fed like a beast by common providence, and art a mere stranger to feeding promises: If thou lookest upward, God is frowning, and his wrath is revealed from heaven against thee, Rom. ”

“ IT hath pleased the most wise disposer of all things, out of the riches of his free grace, to tender Jesus Christ to poor lost and undone sinners, and also it pleased the Lord Jesus not only to die for sinners, to redeem them from death and the curse of the law, that he might open a way for lost sinners to return to God: but is pleased to stand knocking at the door of their hearts, to entreat their souls to be reconciled to God. ”
