Away with the security of men who play the wanton, and will promise to themselves heaven, if they get but leave to ask mercy in their last breath. Fy on them, they shall be deceived. It is true, the thief that hung at Christ's right hand got mercy; but the other thief got none. Therefore repent & amend your lives in time: for where one gets repentance at the last hour of their death, a thousand wants it.
