The cries of a wouded [sic] conscience. Or, The sorrowful sighs of a trembling sinner at the point of death : wherein he bitterly lamented the folly of his loose and impious life earnestly entreating God to be gracious to him in the salvation of his soul, even for his mercy's sake: concluding with an exhortation to his friends, beseeching them not to follow the bad examples of his loose life, assuring them it was a dangerous haard [sic] to trust to a death-bed repentance.
