Puritannical Quotes and theologia
By slighting of divine warnings, you will tempt satan to tempt your souls. Hethat dares slight divine warnings will stick at nothing that Satan shall tempt him to; yea, he does the utmost what lies in him to provoke Satan1 to follow him with the blackest and sorest temptations. He that slights divines warnings dams up all the springs of mercy, and turns the streams of loving-kindness and favour another way. Slighting of divine warnings will be the sword that will wound you, and the serpent that will sting you, and the worm that will still be gnawing upon you; especially (1). When your consciences are awakening; (2.) When you shall lie upon a dying bed; (3.) When you shall stand before a judgment seat; (4.) and lastly, when you shall awake with everlasting flames about your ears, Ps. lxxxi. 11 to the end; Jer vii. 23-29, 34; Isa. xiii. 14-16. Upon all these considerations, take heed of slighting the warnings of God, that you are under this day. [Thomas Brooks]
