When I ay unto the wicked, Thou halt urely die, and thou givet him not Warning, nor peaket not to warn the Wicked from his wicked Way to ave his Life; the ame wicked Man hall die in his Iniquity, but his Blood will I require at thy Hand.

Do not pend Time in gueing or enquiring how I came to undertand that you are particularly guilty of this Sin; but ince you know it to be true, and the Conequence of your going on without Reproof hould have been your Ruin for ever; eteem it as a pecial Mercy and Favour
