Excerpt from A Call to the Unconverted to Turn and Live

In compassion to your sinful miserable souls, the Lord, that better knows your case than you can know it, hath made it Our duty to Speak to you in his name, 2 Cor. 5: 19, and to tell you plainly of your sin and misery, and what will be your end, and how sad a change you will shortly see, if yet you go on a little longer. Having'bought you at so dear a rate as the blood Of his Son Jesus Christ, and made you so free and general a promise Of pardon, and grace, and everlasting glory; he commandethius to ten der all-this to you as the gift Of God, and to entreat you to consider the necessity and worth Of what he Ofi'ers. He sees and pities you, while you are drowned inworldly cares and pleasures, eagerly following childish toys, and wasting that short and precious time for a thing Of~naught, in which you should make ready for an everlasting life; and therefore he hath commanded us to call after you and tell you how you lose your labor and are about to lose yourxsouls, and tell' you what greater and better things you might certainly have if you would hearken to his call. Isa. We believe and Obey the voice Of God; and come to you on his message, who hath charged us to preach, and be instant with you in season and out of sea son, to lift up our voice like a trumpet, and show you your transgressions and your sins. Isa. 58: 1; 2 Tim.4 1, 2.

Excerpt from A Call to the Unconverted to Turn and Live

It may be proper to prefix an account of this book given by Mr. Baxter himself, which was found in his study after his death, in his own words:

"I published a short treatise on conversion entitled, A Call to the Unconverted. The occasion of this was my converse with Bishop Usher while I was at London; who, approving my method and directions for Peace of Conscience, was importunate with me to write directions suited to the vaiious states of Christians, and also against particular sins. I reverenced the man, but disregarded these persuasions, supposing I could do nothing but what is done better already: but when he was dead his words went deeper to my mind, and I purposed to obey his counsel; yet, so as that to the first sort of men, the ungodly, I thought vehement persuasions meeter than directions only; and so for such I published this little book, which God hath blessed with unexpected success, beyond all the rest that I have written, except The Saints' Rest. In a little more than a year there were about twenty thousand of them printed by my own consent, and about ten thousand since, besides many thousands by stolen impressions, which poor men stole or lucre's sake.
