A48424	England's fair warning to a speedy repentance: being an earnest exhortation to a holy life: or The only deliverer from eternal death and destruction Wherein is plainly laid down the great duty of speedy repentance; with the wretched state of a sinner, and the blessed state of a saint: shewing how the one (after death) will be cast for ever into the dreadful flames of Hell-fire: and the other will be received up into Heaven, to celebrate eternal halelujah's to the Lord of Lords, who (sitting at the right-hand of his father) will shortly come to judge the world. Likewise, some pithy arguments to persuade men to close with Christ. Preached by R. Liford, a B.D. since the dreadful earthquakes that have lately happen'd; ... And now published, to awaken drowsie sinners, who still lye in security, whilst God's judgements are on the earth.	Liford, R.	1693 (1693)	Wing L2043; ESTC R216530	7,156	17

lost there is no regaining of it O fall down upon your Knees and bless God that you have yet the Light of the Gospel and that you have Time left to secure your Souls and get an Interest in Jesus Christ First Consider how dreadful it will be to you when you come to die if you do not Repent and turn to the Lord while you are in health O how will you cry out when your Hour of Death approaches when you shall see all the things of the Earth fail you and take their leaves of you for ever All your outward Enjoyments Parts Parentage Birth Breeding Wealth Crowns Kingdoms Pearls Diamonds Houses Lands Wife Children and Friends when once your Breath is gone all these are gone Prov. 27.24 Hear now this you that are given to Pleasure that feast your selves in doing evil you that put far from you the Day of the Lord you that say It is time enough to Repent when we come to die Ah Fools how do you know whether God will give you Repentance then or no. Sirs I beseech you Repent while it is called to Day for you know not whether you shall live till to morrow O consider with a trembling heart how much depends upon this Repenting and turning to God namely the gaining or losing thy dear and precious Soul gaining or losing of God's Favour the Fruition of God the Joys of Heaven or the Torments or Sorrows of Hell depend upon it Poor Souls I pity you with my very heart to see how ignorant you are of so great Concernments you Eat and Drink Sleep Lye Sell and get Gain in the World but little do you mind to accumulate heavenly Treasure to get your sinking Souls safe a-shore You consider not the evil day woe be unto him that is alone in Life and alone in Death that has no Christ to befriend him or stand by him in that day that cometh to lye down in his Grave without Peace or Pardon without hearty Contrition without Repenting of his Sins and shall Rise again and stand at the Bar of God's Justice without an Advocate to plead for him 7. And Lastly Try your Repentance by the Word of God see whether it be true Repentance or no for the Devil hath many Cheats search your own Hearts to see whe●her those Sins you formerly loved be now hated and shunned by you Make ready for the other World think ●pon the other World think upon Death ●nd Judgment Death that King of Ter●ors will e're long terminate your Days ●nd then all your Opportunities will be gone for ever Let me ask you as in the Presence of the Great Judge of Quick and Dead at whose Tribunal you must all shortly stand and giving an Account of your Deeds be either Received up into Heaven or plunged into Hell I have some Queries to ask you First Are not they in a very happy Condition that Repenting turns to the Lord with their whole Hearts living a Life of Grace ●nd truly preparing for Death for fear of ●osing their own Souls being in a hazzard of ●osing Heaven Rom. 8.7 Psal 37.37 Secondly Do you believe that Death will come and that Sin that cursed thing will sting and that the Case of all impenitent Sinners at the hour of Death will be sad and terrible and desperate Let me say to all such there is not a Night you lie down on your Beds but you run a very great hazard if Death should call and you not ready you must go though you are ruin'd to all Eternity though you be damned for ever Mat. 25.10 11 12 13. Thirdly Can you cheerfully entertain the thoughts of Death and Judgments all you hard hearted Sinners that have not Repented Suppose the dreadful Judge should at this instant send Death with the Names of Five or Six of you in a Writ or Forehead and Death should say You and you this Man and that Woman must go along with me I have received a Command from the great terrible God who hath the Power of Death and Hell to bring you this Day or Night before the Judgement-Seat I have often warned you by sending my Deputies this Ten or Twenty years Every Grave and Coffin you have seen was so many Intimations of my coming Now saith Death I am come see my Dart this Dart must kill thy Body and send thy Soul into Eternity I command you this moment to bid adieu to this World Luk. 12.19 20. How can you think of your dying and the Worlds burning the Trumpets sounding the Dead Corps raising and standing at the Bar of God's Justice and not fear and tremble you that have not Repented you Sons and Daughters of Pleasure did you consider what horror and astonishment doggs you at the Heels which will inevitably come upon you as Travel on a Woman with Child you would not say unto God depart Fourthly And lastly Oh! what a killing and amasing sight will Christ's coming in the Clouds be to all that either deny his com●ng or will not prepare for it by speedy Repentance His Incarnation was terrible Mat. 2.3 His Crucifixion was more terrible Luk. 23.44 45.46 47 48. But his Judging the World at the Great Day will be most terrible then shall the Tribes of the Earth mourn Mat. 24.30 And men shall cry to the Rocks to fall on them Rev. 6.15 16. When they shall see so many Thousands and Millions of Men and Women dragged down to that burning Lake of Fire and Brimstone there to be tormented for ever How will they then cry Oh that we had Repented they will howl for vexation of Spirit and in the bitterness of their Souls wish that they had never heard of a Christ that they had been born among Heathens or never had a Being or enjoyed a Life of Pleasure upon Earth How will the wretched Sinner beat his Breast pluck off his Hair tear his Bowels crying when he is past Hopes Oh that I had now no Soul or that this immortal Soul were mortal that I might not be tormented in these dreadful Faines for ever
