The bow of God's wrath is bent,
and the arrow made ready on the
string, and justice bends the arrowat your heart, and strains the bow,
and it is nothing but the merepleasure of God, and that of an
angry God, without any promise or
obligation at all, that keeps the
arrow one moment from being
made drunk with your blood. Th ll th t d

Thus all you that never passed
under a great change of heart, by
the mighty power of the Spirit ofGod upon your souls; all you that
were never born again, and madenew creatures, and raised from
being dead in sin, to a state of
new, and before altogether
unexperienced light and life, are in
the hands of an angry God. H h f d

However you may have reformed
your life in many things, and may
have had religious affections, andmay keep up a form of religion in

his mere pleasure that keeps you
from being this moment swallowed
up in everlasting destruction.

was so with them; for destruction
came suddenly upon most of
them; when they expected nothing
of it, and while they were saying, P d f t th

Peace and safety: now they see,
that those things on which they
depended for peace and safety,were nothing but thin air and
empty shadows.
"Therefore let everyone that is outof Christ, now awake and fly from
the wrath to come."
