A56555	The sinners arraignment; or, The life, death and judgment of stubborn and incorrigible sinners Wherein first is plainly set forth and described the certainty of their death: as also many pithy arguments to perswade men to prepare for it, lest they fall unawares into the great condemnation. Together with a pithy discourse of the last and great judgment, with a discovery of the judge, the judged, and the manner of the pronouncing sentence, the confusion of sinners before the judgement seat, being full of terrour and amazement; as also followed on with many directions to sinners. which, if followed, they may escape the sentence of, Go ye cursed, &c. With some consolations for saints, who have overcome the second death, and may appear with boldnesse at the great day and receive their sentence of, Come ye blessed, &c. By T.P.

spare you it is your murderer and its the murderer of the World use it therefore as a Murderer should be used kill it before it kill you and then though it kill your bodies it shall not be able to kill your souls If the thoughts of Death and the Grave and Rottennesse be not pleasant to you Oh let not the Thoughts of sin be pleasant to you let this be your Motto Memento mori you love not Death love not the cause of Death Is it nothing to be dead in Trespasses and sins Oh what a Poison is this that kils so many millions that can never be cured but by the blood of Christ Oh unbelieving stupid souls that smart and sin groan and sin and wéep and lament over bodily Diseases and sufferings of which sin is the Cause and yet sin still What fear a Grave and fear not sin which will not onely send the body to the Grave but the soul to Hell What pains and pleasure dost thou take Oh silly soul in working the work of wickedness Dost thou not believe the Scripture the Word of the everlasting God that tels you the wages of sin is Death viz. temporal and eternal Canst thou stare and gaze that King of terrors in the face with Confidence without a firm and well grounded Faith of thy interest in the Lord Iesus Consider thy danger oh Sinner whilst without God in the World and an Alian to the Common-wealth of Israel at the moment of thy Death Beware of the great damnation Can you hang your mouth over Hell by the single thread of a frail Life which you know not how soon you may lose and Death may in a moment snap asunder and then you are lost irrecoverably whilst under the power and Dominion of sin you are in danger of damnation every day Oh dreadful what at the brink of hell and not sée it at the very borders of the Lake of brimstone and not tremble almost within the hearing of bitter shrieking and roaring of damned souls and yet secure In the fear of God let this exhort you whilst it is called to Day to hear the Lords voyce and not harden your hearts What security can you have when you know not but you may dye to morrow I charge you in the name of the Living God that you rest no longer in a careless carnal security séeing the Door is yet open and Death has not yet closed your eyes Return to your God for in your Fathers House are many Mansions 2 Use For Consolation to the Saints to them who are born from above and have gotten the victory over the second death here is a word of comfort from the God of comfort to such souls Oh blessed are the dead that die in the Lord for they rest from their labors their works follow them Rev. 14.13 You who are dead to sin are alive to God 2 Pet. 2.24 Rejoyce oh soul thy name is written in the Book of Life God hath chosen you and set you upon his heart and the sinner shall not intermedle with your Ioy. Let Reprobates and fooles passed by stand trembling and be filled with horror at the approaches of Death but rather let it be your joy for then your joy shall be full Death will be to the Saints but as a Transportation not into bondage but into fréedome for here can those fetch their comfort in that they have peace with God and union with Christ and the assurance of the pardon of their sins and the imputation of Christs Righteousnesse to them they can comfortably conclude that the sting of Death is taken from them When a Believer looks upon himself as a dying man will not this delight his soul that Death comes peaceably to him If God be a Believers Friend Death is so also Out of the Eater comes forth meat yea there is a food in Death for every believing soul Death is the Chariot to carry the soul into everlasting Glory As for the wicked it stings them to death for ever but it doth but lay you asleep it is an in-let to their real misery but it s but an out-let from your present trouble and an in-let to your future happinesse for God hears an especial love to you oh Saints and Servants of the most high God for he hath loved you from Eternity with a Love on purpose to do you good O then delight your souls here and comfort your selves with these words that though you must go down to the Grave yet you shall not goe down to Hell The second Death shall have no power over you though you must be reckoned among the Dead yet you shall not be reckoned among the damned when you are going to your Grave you are not going to eternal darknesse but to God who is Light for your Surety having paid the debt for you and satisfied Gods Iustice at death you shall be received into your Masters Ioy. Now I come to the second Doctrine 2 Doct. After Death comes Judgement The words of the Text are sufficient to prove this Truth but I shall give a Scripture or two more Romans 14. v. 10 We shall all stand before the Judgment-seat of Christ 1 Pet. 4. v. 5. Who shall give an Account to him that is ready to Judge the Quick and Dead nothing more plain than this Truth Therefore we will enquire a little 1. Who shall be the Iudge and 2dly Who shall be judged and then briefly apply the whole 1. VVho shall be the Judge I Answer God himself by Iesus Christ 1. Principally God as Creator 2. As also God as Redéemer the humane nature of Iesus Christ having a derived and subordinate Power God lost not his right to his Creature either by mans fall or the Redemption by Christ but by the latter hath a new further Right but it is in and by Christ that God Iudgeth for as méer Creator of Innocent man God judgeth none but hath committed all Iudgment to the Son who hath procured this Right by the redéeming of fallen Man as it is in John 5 v. 22. But yet as the Son judgeth in the néerest sense so the Father doth it principally in that the power of the Son is derived from the Father and so standeth in subordination to him as Fountain or Efficient Well then sinners though you may hide your Cause from men yet you cannot hide your Cause from God though Devils may be ignorant of your case yet God knows your thoughts afar off but Secondly VVho are those that must be judged For answer All every man or woman that hath béen born upon the earth but the first in order to be judged shall be the Saints and then with Christ they shall judge the rest of the VVorld the Princes of the World shall stand before Christ even as the Peasants the honourable as the base and poor shall all méet together and the Lord shall Iudge them all But to apply the whole the Vses shall be thrée 1.
