NIGHT IS COMING
"Of
late years there has been a very visible decline, and a night is
coming on, which we are entered into; the shadows of the evening are
stretching out apace upon us, and the signs of the eventide are very
manifest, and will shortly appear yet more and more: coldness and
indifference in spiritual things, a want of affection to God, Christ,
his people, truths and ordinances, may easily be observed; the first
love is left; iniquity abounds, and the love of many waxes cold; and
it will wax yet colder and colder, and will issue in a general
forsaking of assembling together, and in an entire neglect of the
ministers of the gospel; when such who have been professors
themselves will be shy of them, and carefully shun them."
