all_o must_v appear_v now_o follow_v in_o the_o three_o place_n the_o most_o special_a and_o principal_a matter_n of_o all_o namely_o after_o what_o manner_n all_o man_n shall_v be_v judge_v in_o

now_o if_o you_o will_v know_v what_o these_o book_n be_v it_o be_v easy_a to_o know_v for_o they_o be_v even_o the_o particular_a conscience_n of_o every_o man_n and_o woman_n thy_o conscience_n be_v the_o book_n that_o shall_v be_v open_v and_o that_o shall_v be_v as_o good_a as_o ten_o thousand_o witness_n either_o to_o excuse_v or_o accuse_v thou_o before_o god_n for_o there_o shall_v need_v no_o other_o witness_n no_o other_o evidence_n against_o we_o at_o the_o last_o but_o our_o own_o conscience_n for_o as_o god_n have_v his_o book_n of_o infinite_a knowledge_n whereby_o he_o know_v the_o sin_n of_o all_o man_n and_o woman_n as_o certain_o as_o if_o they_o be_v write_v in_o a_o book_n and_o though_o man_n forget_v they_o yet_o the_o lord_n remember_v they_o so_o he_o have_v

himself_o in_o a_o vision_n and_o show_v after_o what_o manner_n we_o shall_v be_v all_o judge_v even_o according_a to_o those_o thing_n write_v in_o the_o book_n according_a unto_o our_o work_n you_o have_v hear_v before_o that_o he_o see_v all_o both_o great_a and_o small_a stand_v before_o god_n none_o shall_v be_v want_v or_o absent_v themselves_o now_o it_o may_v be_v wonder_v how_o this_o great_a multitude_n shall_v be_v judge_v how_o every_o man_n book_n shall_v be_v read_v and_o every_o man_n cause_n shall_v be_v try_v for_o we_o see_v what_o a_o long_a time_n it_o hold_v our_o

here_o for_o all_o must_v proceed_v according_a to_o the_o write_a record_n and_o according_a to_o these_o thing_n which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n so_o as_o when_o christ_n jesus_n the_o

the_o person_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o saint_n john_n mean_v that_o all_o must_v come_v to_o judgement_n both_o great_a and_o small_a must_v stand_v before_o god_n but_o why_o do_v he_o say_v here_o and_o the_o dead_a shall_v be_v judge_v it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o he_o name_v so_o express_o the_o dead_a even_o those_o which_o have_v lyen_fw-we rot_v so_o many_o thousand_o year_n must_v come_v to_o judgement_n they_o must_v be_v call_v to_o account_v yea_o their_o old_a sin_n must_v be_v now_o bring_v to_o light_n for_o this_o be_v rhe_n wicked_a thought_n of_o many_o carnal_a man_n that_o when_o a_o man_n be_v dead_a he_o be_v well_o then_o all_o his_o sin_n die_v with_o he_o he_o be_v forget_v and_o his_o sin_n be_v not_o speak_v of_o but_o saint_n john_n say_v here_o that_o even_o the_o dead_a must_v come_v to_o judgement_n even_o their_o old_a sin_n must_v come_v to_o light_n and_o they_o must_v answer_v for_o they_o it_o be_v nigh_o six_o thousand_o year_n since_o cain_n slay_v his_o brother_n yet_o this_o sin_n of_o he_o be_v not_o forget_v though_o cain_n be_v dead_a so_o long_o since_o yet_o his_o sin_n be_v not_o dead_a no_o no_o cain_n one_o day_n shall_v come_v to_o account_v for_o his_o sin_n judas_n he_o do_v for_o vile_a lucre_n sell_v his_o master_n many_o hundred_o of_o year_n ago_o he_o be_v dead_a and_o go_v but_o at_o this_o day_n he_o shall_v be_v call_v to_o account_v so_o in_o our_o day_n many_o man_n think_v when_o they_o die_v their_o sin_n shall_v never_o be_v bring_v to_o light_v the_o usurer_n he_o get_v his_o good_n by_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a mean_n he_o grow_v in_o wealth_n when_o he_o die_v he_o think_v he_o shall_v never_o hear_v of_o this_o sin_n again_o so_o the_o drunkard_n swearer_n profaner_n of_o the_o lord_n sabbath_n etc._n etc._n they_o be_v persuade_v that_o death_n will_v end_v all_o their_o misery_n ah_o poor_a soul_n it_o be_v well_o with_o they_o indeed_o if_o death_n may_v end_v their_o woeful_a misery_n but_o alas_o alas_o death_n be_v even_o as_o a_o wide_a gate_n to_o let_v they_o have_v some_o passage_n to_o endless_a woe_n and_o misery_n for_o when_o they_o be_v dead_a and_o bury_v their_o sin_n do_v not_o die_v with_o they_o their_o misery_n be_v not_o then_o end_v o_o no_o then_o begin_v their_o endless_a misery_n &_o torment_n oh_o it_o be_v good_a they_o may_v have_v no_o more_o be_v after_o death_n it_o have_v be_v good_a for_o such_o man_n they_o have_v never_o be_v bear_v or_o be_v bear_v that_o they_o have_v be_v make_v rather_o a_o toad_n or_o a_o serpent_n for_o in_o death_n they_o have_v a_o end_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o a_o filthy_a and_o and_z ungodly_a sinner_n for_o when_o he_o be_v dead_a and_o bury_v even_o than_o begin_v his_o great_a woe_n and_o misery_n for_o even_o the_o sinner_n that_o be_v dead_a a_o many_o thousand_o year_n must_v for_o all_o this_o come_v to_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o thou_o that_o live_v in_o sin_n in_o adultery_n etc._n etc._n remember_v that_o although_o thou_o die_v yet_o thy_o sin_n do_v not_o die_v with_o thou_o no_o no_o both_o thou_o and_o they_o must_v one_o day_n come_v to_o judgement_n thy_o old_a sin_n and_o those_o which_o thou_o have_v commit_v in_o secret_a they_o must_v come_v now_o to_o light_n see_v that_o the_o dead_a must_v come_v to_o judgement_n use_v that_o have_v lie_v a_o many_o hundred_o year_n in_o the_o grave_n and_o then_o their_o old_a sin_n and_o secret_a sin_n must_v come_v to_o light_v oh_o let_v we_o then_o watch_v over_o our_o life_n and_o have_v this_o still_o in_o our_o mind_n well_o though_o i_o die_v and_o rot_v in_o the_o grave_n yet_o my_o sin_n shall_v not_o die_v my_o evil_a way_n can_v be_v bury_v they_o must_v come_v to_o light_n that_o so_o we_o may_v never_o dare_v to_o sin_n think_v as_o many_o do_v that_o when_o they_o be_v once_o dead_a they_o shall_v never_o come_v to_o account_v for_o their_o sin_n but_o saint_n john_n say_v here_o that_o the_o dead_a be_v judge_v even_o those_o who_o we_o forget_v and_o who_o sin_n we_o will_v think_v will_v never_o be_v call_v to_o account_v even_o they_o must_v come_v to_o a_o reckon_n in_o the_o next_o place_n saint_n john_n tell_v we_o how_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v try_v and_o according_a to_o what_o sentence_n shall_v be_v award_v namely_o

or_o not_o we_o must_v look_v whether_o we_o have_v true_o repent_v yea_o and_o have_v be_v true_o humble_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o get_v the_o pardon_n of_o they_o all_o second_o that_o we_o may_v

there_o be_v remission_n of_o sin_n where_o there_o be_v remission_n of_o sin_n there_o be_v justification_n and_o where_o there_o be_v justification_n there_o be_v salvation_n and_o on_o the_o

there_o be_v no_o justification_n there_o be_v no_o salvation_n o_o then_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o those_o that_o live_v in_o sin_n delight_n in_o sin_n and_o never_o as_o yet_o can_v shed_v one_o tear_n for_o their_o manifold_a and_o grievous_a sin_n they_o can_v not_o find_v themselves_o to_o be_v justify_v they_o can_v have_v no_o pardon_n of_o their_o sin_n so_o long_o as_o they_o live_v in_o sin_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v know_v whether_o you_o shall_v be_v save_v or_o not_o labour_n first_o of_o all_o to_o repent_v and_o to_o lay_v hold_n on_o christ_n by_o faith_n that_o so_o he_o may_v cover_v your_o sin_n in_o his_o blood_n three_o fruit_n of_o election_n be_v sanctify_v and_o this_o be_v a_o special_a mark_n of_o god_n child_n 2.13_o 2_o the._n 2.13_o to_o

and_o to_o live_v to_o righteousness_n be_v a_o sure_a token_n that_o we_o belong_v to_o god_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o a_o man_n may_v come_v to_o know_v whether_o he_o be_v elect_v and_o ordain_v to_o life_n or_o not_o now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o use_n arise_v hence_o see_v god_n have_v his_o book_n use_v 1_o of_o life_n in_o which_o be_v write_v the_o name_n of_o all_o those_o that_o
