fulfil_v and_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n draw_v near_o the_o prophecy_n be_v come_v to_o pass_v both_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o man_n and_o the_o mind_n for_o now_o if_o ever_o be_v the_o perfection_n or_o rather_o imperfection_n of_o all_o the_o sin_n the_o apostle_n name_v to_o be_v the_o fore_a runner_n of_o the_o end_n why_o doubt_v we_o then_o that_o the_o end_n be_v not_o at_o hand_n or_o why_o fear_v we_o not_o rather_o that_o a_o sudden_a end_n will_v prevent_v our_o procastinated_a repentance_n as_o body_n be_v sick_a before_o death_n and_o as_o infirmity_n and_o sickness_n be_v the_o true_a forerunner_n of_o a_o separation_n between_o the_o body_n and_o the_o soul_n even_o so_o fare_v it_o with_o the_o world_n it_o now_o langnish_v and_o be_v corrupt_a it_o now_o lie_v sick_a and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o come_v to_o confusion_n and_o to_o a_o end_n for_o deadly_a sickness_n be_v a_o forerunner_n of_o death_n all_o thing_n now_o suffer_v their_o

only_o wit_n and_o maturity_n be_v resident_a in_o man_n the_o only_a idea_n and_o representment_n of_o the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o man_n what_o can_v we_o otherwise_o but_o think_v that_o the_o

expect_v it_o quick_o forsake_v the_o wicked_a and_o guilty_a person_n our_o mind_n be_v very_o desirous_a if_o we_o can_v to_o know_v the_o day_n of_o death_n and_o dissolution_n but_o if_o we_o can_v attain_v to_o the_o knowledge_n thereof_o what_o will_v it_o profit_v we_o suppose_v the_o consummation_n of_o this_o world_n to_o be_v after_o ten_o twenty_o or_o forty_o or_o a_o hundred_o year_n what_o be_v this_o material_a be_v not_o the_o term_n of_o life_n the_o consummation_n of_o each_o man_n why_o then_o be_v thou_o so_o trouble_v about_o the_o last_o day_n of_o judgement_n since_o âs_v thy_o end_n leave_v thou_o judgement_n shall_v âind_v thou_o and_o how_o sudden_o death_n shall_v find_v âhee_o thou_o be_v altogether_o ignorant_a for_o as_o ân_v other_o thing_n not_o

fellow_n that_o man_n proud_a but_o no_o man_n have_v a_o care_n or_o feel_n of_o his_o own_o sin_n far_o worse_o so_o do_v every_o man_n neglect_v his_o own_o ând_n he_o will_v fain_o learn_v when_o the_o general_a day_n of_o dissolution_n shall_v be_v which_o day_n whether_o it_o be_v near_a or_o far_o off_o it_o do_v nothing_o concern_v we_o so_o each_o man_n regard_v his_o several_a end_n for_o since_o thou_o be_v bear_v it_o be_v most_o certain_a thou_o must_v die_v and_o it_o be_v certain_a after_o death_n come_v that_o judgement_n may_v be_v far_o off_o yet_o thy_o last_o day_n be_v at_o hand_n therefore_o prepare_v thou_o for_o this_o day_n for_o if_o âhis_v day_n find_v thou_o unprovided_a the_o day_n of_o judgement_n shall_v find_v thou_o so_o likewise_o when_o âhou_n shall_v rue_v for_o it_o 50._o psalm_n 50._o consider_v this_o all_o you_o âhat_n forget_v god_n lest_o he_o tear_v you_o in_o péeâes_n and_o there_o be_v none_o to_o help_v for_o our_o god_n shall_v go_v and_o shall_v not_o keep_v silence_n a_o fire_n shall_v come_v before_o he_o and_o it_o shall_v be_v âery_o tempestuous_a round_n about_o he_o for_o god_n himself_o be_v judge_n and_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n will_v quick_o be_v at_o hand_n prevent_v the_o speed_n thereof_o it_o will_v speedy_o come_v prevent_v it_o i_o say_v be_v thou_o speedy_o convert_v and_o as_o the_o prophet_n daviâ_n advise_v we_o let_v we_o run_v before_o the_o facâ_n of_o the_o judge_n with_o confession_n of_o our_o faultâ_n and_o true_a contrition_n for_o the_o same_o and_o thâ_n reason_n why_o thou_o know_v not_o his_o come_n be_v that_o thou_o may_v always_o be_v prepare_v for_o it_o for_o it_o be_v in_o thy_o own_o poweâ_n how_o thou_o may_v expect_v his_o come_n hââ_n therefore_o defer_v his_o come_n that_o wheââ_n he_o come_v he_o may_v not_o daunt_v thou_o behold_v he_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v he_o be_v in_o heaven_n thou_o be_v on_o earth_n he_o defer_v his_o come_n doâ_n not_o thou_o defer_v this_o time_n of_o repentance_n lest_o it_o for_o ever_o though_o too_o late_o repent_v thâ_n of_o his_o come_n for_o in_o that_o day_n it_o wilâ_n be_v too_o late_o to_o repent_v therefore_o pray_v noâ_n that_o his_o kingdom_n come_v which_o thou_o fear_v come_v but_o rather_o correct_v thyself_o that_o thou_o pray_v not_o against_o thyself_o today_o he_o call_v upon_o thou_o that_o he_o may_v not_o in_o that_o day_n condemn_v thou_o he_o that_o shall_v then_o be_v thy_o judge_n be_v now_o thy_o advocate_n and_o he_o now_o call_v upon_o thou_o that_o thoâ_n will_v lead_v a_o godly_a life_n let_v we_o therefore_o set_v the_o day_n of_o judgement_n before_o ouâ_n eye_n which_o way_n soever_o we_o go_v let_v uâ_n carry_v the_o memory_n of_o it_o with_o we_o and_o iâ_n will_v bring_v this_o profit_n with_o it_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o only_o meditate_v on_o the_o horror_n and_o destruction_n of_o that_o day_n but_o also_o wish_v for_o the_o accomplish_n of_o the_o same_o which_o make_v âhe_n wicked_a to_o tremble_v when_o they_o hear_v it_o approach_v thus_o chrysostome_n say_v let_v we_o from_o âmong_n ourselves_o repeat_v these_o thing_n and_o with_o other_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o resurrection_n ãâã_d day_n of_o judgement_n and_o a_o time_n of_o examination_n for_o all_o our_o work_n whether_o good_a or_o bad_a and_o this_o will_v cause_v that_o the_o mind_n âoth_o of_o good_a and_o bad_a be_v not_o conversant_a in_o âhe_n vanity_n and_o pleasure_n of_o this_o world_n and_o be_v not_o tempt_v to_o any_o wickedness_n âut_v rather_o to_o undergo_v any_o thing_n to_o
