While they lay under Sentence of Death, they had the Difference of Good and Evil set before them in a distinct clear Light; they were told, that the Ever-living God, from whose all-seeing Eye nothing can be hid, Rewards or Punishes each one according to his Desert. That, To the just and upright Man He will give Eternal Life: But, To the wicked disobedient Man Eternal Misery. They were desired to think Seriously on their approaching End, and to resolve to repent fervently of their former Sins, that they might at the last Day, be among the Number of those to whom our blessed Lord and Saviour shall Say, Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom, &c. They were pressingly urged not to lose those few precious Moments they had left, but incessantly to cry up to God for Forgiveness.
