likely_a to_o come_v upon_o thou_o sudden_a destruction_n 1._o thess_n 5.3_o second_o this_o may_v serve_v to_o teprove_v such_o as_o immoderate_o do_v seek_v after_o wealth_n be_v as_o unsatiable_a in_o seek_v riches_n as_o if_o they_o esteem_v themselves_o and_o their_o child_n to_o be_v immortal_a or_o as_o though_o they_o be_v to_o provide_v for_o a_o earthly_a eternity_n o_o vain_a man_n

say_v i_o can_v do_v this_o soon_o enough_o when_o i_o be_o old_a but_o consider_v with_o thyself_o be_v thou_o sure_a to_o live_v until_o thou_o be_v old_a have_v thou_o a_o lease_n of_o thy_o life_n or_o suppose_v thou_o can_v be_v assure_v that_o thou_o shall_v live_v until_o thou_o be_v old_a yet_o how_o know_v thou_o that_o god_n at_o that_o time_n will_v give_v thou_o repentance_n 3_o use_v 3_o three_o this_o doctrine_n may_v be_v matter_n of_o consolation_n first_o unto_o such_o as_o endure_v banishment_n imprisonment_n poverty_n sickness_n or_o any_o other_o affliction_n they_o must_v

will_v take_v they_o away_o soon_o enough_o by_o one_o occasion_n or_o by_o another_o second_o it_o may_v be_v matter_n of_o comfort_n unto_o all_o such_o as_o believe_v for_o now_o be_v their_o

see_v i_o know_v that_o i_o shall_v not_o remain_v long_o therefore_o i_o write_v unto_o you_o this_o epistle_n endeavour_v while_o i_o be_o with_o you_o to_o do_v the_o best_a good_a that_o i_o can_v and_o the_o rather_o because_o i_o shall_v not_o long_o continue_v the_o doctrine_n hence_o be_v this_o namely_o that_o doctrine_n doctrine_n the_o consideration_n of_o shortness_n of_o life_n aught_o to_o be_v a_o especial_a spur_n or_o motive_n to_o provoke_v all_o christian_n as_o well_o people_n as_o minister_n to_o double_a diligence_n in_o well_o do_v thus_o solomon_n write_v the_o book_n of_o ecclesiaste_n in_o his_o old_a age_n thus_o paul_n write_v diverse_a of_o his_o epistle_n when_o he_o be_v age_a thus_o christ_n himself_o exercise_v his_o ministry_n wrought_v miracle_n and_o do_v all_o his_o great_a wonder_n in_o the_o three_o last_o year_n of_o his_o life_n why_o be_v these_o so_o diligent_a at_o the_o last_o but_o because_o they_o consider_v they_o be_v not_o long_o to_o continue_v as_o christ_n also_o himself_o do_v acknowledge_v john_n 9.4_o i_o must_v work_v the_o work_n of_o he_o that_o have_v send_v i_o while_o it_o be_v day_n the_o night_n come_v wherein_n no_o man_n can_v work_v reason_n reason_n and_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n that_o man_n shall_v bestir_v themselves_o especial_o towards_o their_o latter_a end_n for_o they_o must_v either_o then_o work_n or_o never_o they_o must_v either_o than_o do_v good_a or_o else_o hereafter_o it_o will_v be_v too_o late_a according_a to_o that_o in_o john_n 12.35_o walk_v while_o you_o have_v light_a lest_o the_o darkness_n come_v upon_o you_o use_v use_v this_o serve_v to_o reprove_v they_o which_o purpose_n to_o live_v idle_o when_o they_o be_v grow_v old_a not_o consider_v that_o approach_n of_o death_n shall_v be_v a_o motive_n to_o great_a diligence_n in_o do_v good_a second_o let_v this_o serve_v to_o stir_v we_o up_o both_o minister_n and_o people_n to_o be_v more_o diligent_a in_o our_o place_n to_o glorify_v god_n let_v we_o think_v we_o have_v none_o of_o we_o all_o to_o abide_v here_o long_o and_o when_o we_o shall_v be_v go_v we_o shall_v not_o have_v liberty_n to_o return_v to_o dispatch_v any_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v leave_v unperfect_v therefore_o since_o with_o peter_n we_o must_v short_o lay_v down_o this_o tabernacle_n let_v we_o stir_v up_o our_o self_n to_o more_o diligence_n in_o well_o do_v thou_o which_o be_v a_o minister_n do_v thou_o think_v that_o thou_o shall_v not_o live_v long_o be_v the_o more_o diligent_a in_o preach_v and_o write_v thou_o which_o be_v a_o officer_n do_v thou_o think_v or_o know_v that_o thou_o shall_v not_o long_o continue_v in_o thy_o office_n be_v the_o more_o careful_a to_o do_v good_a in_o it_o that_o little_a time_n thou_o shall_v continue_v thou_o which_o be_v a_o private_a christian_a be_v thou_o persuade_v that_o death_n approach_v therefore_o work_v out_o thy_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a glorify_v god_n what_o possible_o thou_o can_v and_o while_o thou_o have_v yet_o opportunity_n do_v as_o much_o good_a as_o thou_o can_v especial_o to_o the_o household_n of_o faith_n i_o know_v how_o do_v peter_n know_v that_o he_o be_v not_o long_o to_o continue_v not_o by_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n feel_v himself_o to_o decay_v but_o by_o express_a speech_n from_o christ_n own_o mouth_n in_o john_n 21.18_o but_o when_o thou_o shall_v be_v old_a thou_o shall_v stretch_v forth_o thy_o hand_n and_o another_o shall_v gird_v thou_o and_o in_o verse_n 1._o this_o speak_v he_o signify_v by_o what_o death_n he_o shall_v glorify_v god_n now_o observe_v here_o christ_n tell_v peter_n before_o hand_n that_o in_o his_o old_a age_n he_o shall_v suffer_v a_o violent_a death_n and_o peter_n give_v such_o undoubted_a credit_n to_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o say_v i_o know_v that_o i_o shall_v short_o lay_v down_o this_o tabernacle_n as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v show_v to_o i_o i_o know_v the_o doctrine_n be_v this_o viz._n that_o doctrine_n doctrine_n every_o man_n both_o minister_n and_o people_n aught_o to_o be_v infallible_o persuade_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o verity_n of_o god_n word_n if_o christ_n say_v it_o we_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o say_v by_o faith_n we_o know_v it_o to_o be_v true_a thus_o it_o be_v with_o martha_n john_n 11.24_o i_o know_v he_o shall_v rise_v again_o at_o the_o last_o day_n now_o how_o do_v martha_n know_v that_o her_o brother_n shall_v rise_v again_o but_o by_o the_o word_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n the_o like_a we_o see_v in_o the_o whole_a church_n 2._o cor._n 5.1_o we_o know_v that_o if_o this_o tabernacle_n be_v dissolve_v etc._n etc._n now_o how_o do_v the_o church_n know_v this_o future_a glory_n but_o by_o the_o word_n the_o like_a we_o see_v in_o peter_n elsewhere_o as_o in_o the_o three_o chapter_n of_o this_o second_o epistle_n the_o three_o verse_n know_v this_o first_o that_o there_o shall_v come_v in_o the_o last_o day_n scoffer_n now_o how_o do_v peter_n know_v this_o but_o by_o the_o word_n and_o spirit_n many_o other_o example_n may_v be_v allege_v but_o these_o may_v suffice_v sore_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o point_n reason_n reason_n and_o indeed_o we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o be_v infallible_o persuade_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o verity_n of_o god_n word_n first_o because_o god_n be_v not_o as_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v lie_v he_o be_v truth_n itself_o he_o can_v lie_v therefore_o what_o he_o speak_v it_o be_v infallible_o true_a second_o because_o the_o word_n have_v be_v prove_v to_o be_v a_o undoubted_a truth_n from_o generation_n to_o generation_n it_o be_v never_o find_v contrary_a and_o therefore_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o call_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o into_o
