justice_n and_o continence_n have_v by_o the_o help_n of_o one_o simon_n a_o magician_n 5._o gain_v the_o affection_n of_o drusilla_n the_o wife_n of_o azis_n king_n of_o the_o emisseni_fw-la and_o live_v in_o a_o state_n of_o adultery_n with_o she_o now_o this_o be_v the_o case_n of_o felix_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o subject_a of_o st._n paul_n discourse_n be_v to_o remonstrate_v to_o he_o his_o injustice_n and_o intemperance_n and_o let_v he_o free_o know_v that_o however_o he_o may_v carry_v it_o out_o by_o his_o power_n and_o authority_n now_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o time_n come_v a_o future_a day_n of_o judgement_n when_o he_o shall_v be_v call_v to_o a_o severe_a account_n for_o all_o his_o wickedness_n this_o be_v indeed_o a_o address_n become_v the_o zeal_n of_o a_o apostle_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o st._n paul_n and_o too_o plain_o show_v how_o little_a we_o have_v leave_v in_o we_o of_o that_o primitive_a warmth_n which_o inflame_v this_o holy_a man_n by_o our_o different_a management_n on_o the_o like_a occasion_n there_o can_v hardly_o be_v imagine_v any_o great_a discouragement_n to_o such_o a_o freedom_n than_o what_o our_o apostle_n here_o labour_v under_o to_o touch_v a_o unjust_a governor_n in_o the_o point_n of_o his_o violence_n and_o injustice_n a_o lustful_a adulterer_n in_o the_o business_n of_o his_o incontinence_n this_o one_o will_v think_v shall_v have_v be_v a_o pretty_a bold_a undertake_n for_o any_o one_o but_o for_o saint_n paul_n a_o prisoner_n one_o that_o be_v to_o appear_v as_o a_o criminal_a before_o he_o for_o he_o instead_o of_o flatter_v this_o great_a man_n as_o his_o adversary_n tertullus_n have_v do_v verse_n 2._o instead_o of_o applaud_v the_o great_a quietness_n which_o the_o people_n enjoy_v under_o his_o government_n 2._o and_o the_o very_a worthy_a deed_n that_o have_v be_v do_v by_o his_o providence_n to_o call_v he_o to_o repent_v of_o his_o rapine_n and_o cruelty_n of_o his_o intemperance_n and_o adultery_n and_o this_o too_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o that_o very_a woman_n who_o he_o much_o love_v 24._o and_o for_o who_o sake_n he_o have_v do_v so_o many_o vile_a thing_n this_o be_v a_o honest_a freedom_n and_o plainness_n become_v a_o apostolical_a age_n but_o which_o i_o fear_v in_o these_o day_n of_o we_o will_v be_v censure_v as_o rudeness_n and_o indiscretion_n any_o thing_n rather_o than_o a_o commendable_a zeal_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o salvation_n of_o soul_n but_o alas_o st._n paul_n have_v not_o learn_v that_o tender_a application_n that_o be_v now_o a-days_o make_v to_o great_a person_n he_o have_v no_o interest_n of_o his_o own_o to_o pursue_v and_o therefore_o do_v not_o address_v himself_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o those_o who_o be_v more_o afraid_a of_o offend_a man_n than_o of_o displease_v god_n and_o of_o disparage_v their_o character_n he_o know_v the_o doctrine_n to_o be_v seasonable_a to_o felix_n and_o that_o if_o he_o please_v to_o make_v a_o good_a use_n of_o it_o it_o may_v be_v profitable_a too_o and_o he_o never_o stand_v to_o consider_v whether_o felix_n will_v like_v it_o or_o no_o or_o whether_o it_o may_v not_o perhaps_o provoke_v he_o to_o run_v to_o any_o extremity_n against_o he_o for_o his_o freedom_n in_o short_a he_o have_v a_o unjust_a adulterous_a man_n to_o preach_v to_o and_o he_o know_v nothing_o so_o fit_a to_o reason_n of_o before_o he_o as_o of_o righteousness_n temperance_n and_o the_o judgement_n to_o come_v and_o have_v we_o but_o the_o same_o honest_a courage_n and_o indifference_n that_o he_o have_v we_o shall_v speak_v not_o only_o with_o the_o same_o freedom_n that_o he_o do_v but_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n with_o the_o same_o efficacy_n too_o and_o poor_a and_o despicable_a as_o we_o be_v think_v by_o many_o yet_o in_o the_o power_n of_o that_o divine_a truth_n which_o we_o be_v send_v to_o preach_v to_o the_o world_n make_v the_o great_a sinner_n tremble_v to_o think_v that_o for_o all_o these_o thing_n god_n will_v bring_v they_o to_o judgement_n and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o case_n be_v the_o first_o thing_n i_o be_o to_o show_v i_o sy_n that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o a_o judgement_n to_o come_v be_v so_o high_o reasonable_a that_o the_o great_a infidel_n can_v but_o acknowledge_v the_o probability_n of_o it_o in_o pursuance_n of_o which_o point_n it_o be_v not_o my_o design_n to_o show_v what_o ground_n the_o holy_a scripture_n give_v we_o for_o the_o belief_n of_o a_o future_a judgement_n which_o we_o all_o of_o we_o every_o day_n profess_v as_o a_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o therefore_o can_v be_v suppose_v any_o of_o we_o to_o doubt_v of_o it_o what_o else_o do_v we_o meet_v with_o almost_o throughout_o the_o new_a testament_n but_o exhortation_n to_o live_v well_o upon_o this_o ground_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v a_o day_n in_o which_o he_o will_v judge_v the_o world_n in_o righteousness_n 10_o act_v xvii_o 31_o that_o we_o must_v all_o stand_v before_o the_o judgment-seat_n of_o christ_n rom._n fourteen_o 10_o that_o we_o must_v all_o appear_v before_o the_o judgment-seat_n of_o christ_n every_o

ever_o be_v more_o clear_o make_v i_o do_v not_o say_v than_o this_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o final_a judgement_n but_o of_o the_o manner_n and_o circumstance_n of_o it_o xv_o how_o the_o trumpet_n shall_v sound_v and_o the_o dead_a arise_v and_o those_o that_o be_v alive_a be_v change_v how_o the_o just_a shall_v be_v catch_v up_o into_o the_o air_n and_o the_o sinner_n lie_v grovel_v below_o in_o vain_a cry_v out_o to_o the_o mountain_n to_o fall_v upon_o they_o and_o to_o the_o hill_n to_o cover_v they_o how_o the_o judgement_n shall_v be_v set_v and_o the_o book_n open_v and_o every_o man_n judge_v out_o of_o the_o thing_n contain_v in_o those_o book_n according_a to_o his_o work_n etc._n then_o shall_v the_o son_n of_o man_n come_v in_o his_o glory_n and_o sit_v down_o upon_o the_o throne_n of_o his_o glory_n and_o before_o he_o shall_v be_v gather_v all_o nation_n and_o he_o shall_v separate_v they_o the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o as_o a_o shepherd_n divide_v his_o sheep_n from_o the_o goat_n and_o he_o shall_v set_v his_o sheep_n on_o his_o right_a hand_n and_o the_o goat_n on_o his_o left_a and_o he_o shall_v say_v to_o they_o on_o his_o right_a hand_n come_v you_o bless_v of_o my_o father_n inherit_v the_o kingdom_n prepare_v for_o you_o from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n but_o to_o those_o on_o the_o left_a depart_v from_o i_o you_o curse_v into_o everlasting_a fire_n prepare_v for_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n and_o these_o shall_v go_v away_o into_o everlasting_a punishment_n but_o the_o righteous_a into_o life_n eternal_a in_o a_o word_n so_o particular_a be_v the_o account_n which_o we_o here_o find_v of_o all_o the_o circumstance_n of_o this_o great_a audit_n that_o i_o scarce_o know_v any_o thing_n leave_v unrevealed_a to_o we_o but_o only_o the_o day_n and_o hour_n when_o this_o judgement_n shall_v be_v and_o which_o indeed_o god_n have_v in_o mercy_n keep_v up_o from_o we_o that_o so_o we_o may_v

indeed_o however_o it_o may_v be_v useful_a enough_o to_o call_v upon_o the_o most_o faithful_a christian_n to_o think_v sometime_o on_o this_o future_a judgement_n yet_o it_o will_v certain_o be_v a_o very_a needless_a undertake_n to_o reason_n with_o such_o person_n concern_v it_o and_o use_v any_o long_a argument_n to_o convince_v they_o of_o the_o futurity_n of_o it_o that_o which_o i_o

in_o this_o sceptical_a age_n in_o which_o we_o now_o live_v it_o may_v not_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v be_v altogether_o unseasonable_a to_o argue_v sometime_o with_o man_n upon_o their_o own_o
