Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The threatening is addressed to the sinner himself, for the awakening of his conscience, if he have any left: "Consider what shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done unto thee, by the righteous Judge of heaven and earth, thou false tongue. " Surely sinners durst not do as they do if they knew, and would be persuaded to think, what will be in the end thereof.
