Overview

Excerpt from A Golden Treasury, for the Children of God, Whose Treasure Is in Heaven: Consisting of Select d104s of the Bible, With Practical Observations, in Prose and Verse, for Every Day in the Year Merous tribes of sensual, trifling Christians there fore, some reflections to this purpose have been added. Should any who are still in love with the world, vouchsafe to cast an eye on this GBP01k I assure them it will turn to quite another ad ntage than wasting their time in gaming and dancing, in futile jests, or ill-natured censures on others, or the like amusements; this short and precious time not being bestowed on them for such levities, but for a steady preparation for eternity, and Of which they are to give a most strict account. They are at the same time candidly warned, not to make a play thihg of this work, but that they labour to improve it to their effectual conversion and amendment. If any expressions touch them'to the quick, if they see themselves any where drawn in their proper colours, let them not slight these as chance and accident, but be firmly persuaded, that in these the Lord knocks at their hearts, and calls them to re pentance. TO this blessed call, let them immedi ately attend, and yield themselves to be drawn from the world to God, by this gentle cord of love, as more eligible, than to be compelled by bit and scourge. But if they meet with nothing here but words of comfort and confidence, let them beware Of fostering a false consolation, by precipitately em bracing them; the safe way is to be moved by them to repentance, imploring God that he would give them an humiliating insight into all their sins, and especially their grievous depravation by original Sin, and a broken, contrite, and penitent heart, and implant'in them that lively faith, by which love Works, and which overcomes the world.
