For many I say unto you will strive to enter in and cannot be able Matth. 7.13 For when once the Master is risen up and shut the door and you begin to stand at the door knocking without saying Lord Lord open to us but the Lord will answer I know you not whence you are depart from me all you workers of iniquity Luke 13.25 27. Oh what a dismall Sentence is this to be deprived of the joyes of Heaven and the presence of Christ wherein is all fulness of joy lacking nothing and rest and peace for evermore Consider the Lillies how they grow the toyl not the spin not and yet I say unto you Solomon in all his glory was not arayed like to one of these if God so then cloath the grasse which is to day in the field and to morrow is cast into an Oven and how much more will he cloath you O you of little faith Luke 12.17 18. O consider my dear Friends and he better grounded towards God in true faith through Iesus Christ You sée and know that God is able to let you want for nothing so you will but serve him Mark what God saith in Ezekiel 33.4 5. Whosoever heareth the sound of a Trumpet and takes not warning if the sword come and take him away his blood shall be upon his own head but he that taketh warning delivereth his own soul I beséech you Friends now you hear this day the sound of God in your ears take warning hereby prepare for the coming of Christ in the courts of Heaven to judgement for assuredly that man that is found unprepared at that day will be in a most damnable condition they shall burn as an oven yea and all the proud and all that do wickedly shall be stub●le and the day that cometh shall burn them up saith the Lord that is shall not leave neither root nor branch but unto them that fear my name saith God shall the Son of righteousnesse rise with healing in his wings and you shall tread down the wicked for they shall be as ashes under the soles of your feet Malac. 4.1 2 3. We have great cause to work out our salvation with fear and trembling what man would run himself in danger when he may escape it Be not idle dear Friends but spare of your ordinary sléep to muse of the word of GOD for great is the reward of the righteous in Heaven yea love you your Enemies and doe good and lend unto the needy hoping for none again and your reward shall be great and you shall be Children of the highest Luke 5.35 sée also the manner of Christs coming to Iudgement the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout with the noise of the Arch-angell with Trump of God and those which died in Christ shall rise first then we that are alive and remain shall be caught up with them together in the Clouds to méet the Lord in the Air and so shall we ever be with the Lord Thes 4.16 17 18. but the day and hour knoweth no Man therefore watch and pray for the coming of Christ for it will over-take you as a thief in the night therefore sleep not as do others but watch and be sober for they that sleep sleep in the night they that be drunken be drunk in the night but let us who are of the day be sober putting on the brest plate of Faith and Love and for a Helmet put on the hope of salvation And I beséech you brethren to know them that labour among you and are over you in the Lord abstain from all appearance of evill do good and not hurt for he that diligently séeketh good procureth favour but he that seeketh hurt provoketh shame Pro. 11.27 so it must néeds be with the wicked a perpetuall shamefull thing for a Christian to be so simple as to lose the presence of God and his glorious kingdome to gain the intolerable flashing of Hell Fire and to be accompanied with divelish companions to foreshew the glorious light of Heaven where is light for evermore to obtain Hells obscured darknesse to be bereft of everlasting Ioyes to suffer perpetuall Torments this is true that these torments are prepared for the Damned which shall be known to all those which is reserved for those torments by the most wretchfull and indignation of God a just reward for the wicked for saith Job Chap. 21.30 The wicked is reserved to the day of Destruction they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath How oft is the Candle of the wicked put out and how oft cometh her Destruction upon them they are stubble before the wind and as chaff that the storm carrieth away his eyes shall see his Destruction and she shall drink the wrath of the Almighty Job 17.18 20. strive to escape this wrath of God else will your own eyes sée your sudden destruction come upon you is it not better to serve God and be in safety then to serve the Devill and be in utter destruction 't is time Christian Friends to prepare your selves for the day of doom for it is even at the door the signs of Christs coming doth signifie the same for in the latter days there shall be Wars and Rumors of Wars with great slaughters blood touches blood the Father against the Son and the Son against the Father one Neighbour against the one not knowing his Friend from his Foe and the day is not yet great signes will be in Heaven and in Earth before the notable day of the Lord cometh the Moon shall be turned into blood and the Sun shall be darkened and forbear her shineing Young men shall see Visions Old men shall dream dreams and divers notable signes will be before the day of the Lord cometh Acts 2.19 20. these are the signes of the coming of Christ and the generall Resurrection when the Lord shall appear in the Clouds with magnificent glory coming in the Air with his Saints judging the Twelve Tribes of Israell but when this is accomplished there will be peace and safety but then cometh sudden destruction as a Thief in the night therefore Christian Friends watch and pray for you know not at what hour the Son of Man cometh you sée and have heard and do know that most of these things are accomplished and we are now in peace and safety and you know not how suddenly destruction may come upon you pray pray for the Lords coming it is even at the door it cannot be far off for our ancient Fathers have wrought that the world should last Six Ages that 's to say not six thousand years for the longest liver was Methusaleh who lived nine hundred sixty and nine years and then dyed Genesis 5.27 his age six times doubled makes it appear that the last day is not far of us but will be accomplished in the year from the Creation to the year of the Lords resurrection 5886. but then the Apostles testifie write in the book
