Some of the Last Words OF Several Dying Persons considered.
DOCT. 1. Persons may be equally favoured with External Privileges, for the Exciting and Assisting of Repentance, and other good things; and yet may be wonderfully distin|guished in respect of their Internal Advan|tages by those Privileges.
DOCT II. Impenitent Sinners would be Saved from Eternal Misery, without any Regard to the Glory of God in their Sal|vation.
DOCT. III. Where there is no evidence of Repentance it may be justly feared that there is no right fear of God.
DOCT. IV. Penitent Sinners will Desire and Labour that other Sinners may be brought unto Repentance.
DOCT. V. It is a great aggravation of their Wickedness, for Wicked People to con|tinue Impenitent in their Wickedness, with|out the Fear of God, while they are under terrible Punishment for their Wickedness.
DOCT. VI. The Truth of Repentance for Sin should be discovered in Penitent Sin|ners, not only by their Serious Concernment for the good of others and the Glory of God, as well as their own good; but also by their Humbleness before God, and their Thankful|ness unto God.
DOCT. VII. The Gracious Lord Jesus Christ will readily admit into His Favour all truly Penitent Sinners, and will cer|tainly receive them into His Kingdom.
