we are all engaged in the spiritual warfare now going on, and which is to terminate in this grand catastrophy; those of us, who being on the Lord's side, who fight the good fight, keep the faith, and fall in his service, will obtain the victor's crown, even the crown of righteousness which is laid up for us, and which the Lord, the righteous judge will give us; but as for those who die fighting against God, or are found in the camp of his enemies, or deserters from his cause, shall be reserved in chains of darkness, against the judgment of the great day, when they shall be cast into the lake of fire, which is the second death. Would you avoid this tremendous and eternal destruction, rest not satisfied, till you have clearly ascertained that you are on the Lord's side, fighting manfully under his banner, as you have promised and vowed to do, against the world, the flesh and the devil; for before another sun goes down, you may be in that place, where an eternal separation will be made, between the righteous and the wicked; "between him that serveth God, and him that serveth him not."
