On the last Lord's Day I preach'd to them again, both in the Morning and Afternoon, upon this Text, Acts 17. 30, 31. And the time of this Ignorance GOD winked at, but now commands all Men every where to repent: Because He has appointed a Day, in the which He will judge the World in Righteousness, by that Man whom He has ordained; whereof He has given Assurance unto all Men, in that He has raised Him from the Dead.

1. Leave off doing ill.

2. Learn to do well.

3. Persevere in well-doing unto the End: And,

But before I come to give my Reader a particular Account of those Facts, and the Punishments she justly receiv'd for them, I shall first take notice (in this place) of the Felony, which she has lain these Nine Months under Condemnation (and is now to die) for; and that is, the Breaking open some of the Apartments
