EAR and beloved Chriſtians, I would have you this much to underſtand, all thoſe that have a deſire to go to heaven, muſt well and wiſely endeavour  to follow this path way.

Firſt, Thou muſt firſt remember, that bleſſed Saviour ſays, "I am the door: by me it any man enter in he ſhall be ſaved: and ſhall in and out and find paſture, John x 9. Again he ſays, "Knock; and it ſhall be opened to you. To him that knocketh, it ſhall be opened, Matth. vii. 7, 8. Now, you ſee there is no way of getting into heaven but by Jeſus Chriſt the Saviour, who is the way, the truth, and the life. The Breaker who has gone to heaven as our Fore-runner, after he had offered himſelf a ſacrifice to the law and Juſtice of God for our iniquity.

Therefore all who profeſs to believe in him or rightouſneſs and ſtrength, and as all their ſalvation and all their deſire, will find him the true Key to open heaven's gate: But in going to the gate of heaven, you muſt obtſrve the following regulations which the King of heaven hath laid down for all thoſe who will to enter this celeſtial gate. Firſt
