dayes I tremble to think how impiously blasphemously and cursedly many wretched creatures have abused the Lord Iesus Christ some affirming themselves to be the Virgin Mary others the Lord Iesus Christ himself O what a sad account will these men give when they shall appear before the great Tribunal of the Lord. Another sign of the day of judgement being at hand is expressed Ver. 6 7. There should be wars and rumors of wars Nation against Nation and Kingdom against Kingdom What cruel unnatural bloody Wars have been seen Not onely Nation against Nation and Kingdom against Kingdom but Brother against Brother yea the Father hath killed his own Son and the Son hath killed his own Father even as Christ foretold Mark 13.10 The brother shall betray the Brother to death and the Father the Son and the Children should rise up against their Parents and cause them to be put to death and many shall be offended and shall betray one another and hate one another saith Christ When ever was there more hatred and treachery then now Can any Age of the world shew the like for envy and malice will not one brother betray another for gain Behold these things ought not so to be but this is a sign of the end of the world And because iniquity shall abound saith Christ the love of many shall wax cold When did sin so much abound as now when ever was there more Sabbath-breaking and drunkenness whoring and swearing and cursing and all maner of abominable evils then now yea even little ones are skilfull to sin before they are skilful to go young Children great Sinners And for Love and Charity when was it ever less then now It is cold indéed now Another sign expressed is The Sun shall be turned into darkness and the Moon shall not give her light there shall be blood and fire with vapors of smoak What strange and sad Eclipses have we lately séen And the Lord hath forewarned us by many strange sights from Heaven as ever mortal men beheld and for Fire there hath béen many sad spectacles now of late witness Fleet-street Tredneedlestreet and Southwark in which places were near twoh undred habitations consumed And this hath not onely hapned in and about the City of London but likewise several other places of the Countries about have béen partakers of the same sorrows what strange sights were lately séen in the mountains of Sardona In Spain was lately taken a monster with seven Heads and Arms like a man but the lower parts like a Satyr with cloven féet Surely these are the wonders of the Lord declaring to us that the great day of Iudgement is at hand The last sign Christ tells us of is in Mat. 24.38 The days immediately before the last day should be like the dayes of Noah before the flood came The Lord grant we be not taken as they were suddenly before they were aware In the dayes before the Flood people were eating and drinking marrying and giving in marriage following after their voluptuous delights and sinful pleasures and in that condition the flood came and took them all away so shall the coming of the Son of man be And now men eat and drink and follow the swing of their own lusts saying within themselves as the rich fool Let us eat and drink and take our fill of pleasures for to morrow shall be as this day and much more abundant these pleasures shall continue for ever Whereas they should say Let us watch and pray for to morrow we may die for it is appointed for all men once to die and then cometh judgement Solomon saith Rejoyce O young man and let thy heart chear thee but know for all this thou must come to judgement And séeing as Christ saith we have séen all these things come to pass let us know that this Day is near even at the door The old World because they would take no warning the Flood came and drowned them all they had 120. years to repent in and yet would not hearken Nineve had but 40. days yet they repented Israel had 40. years time to repent in But who knows how long time we shall have to repent We have had long time already hundreds of years but we are still a stiff-necked and disobedient people St. Paul tells us 1 Tim. 4. In the last days there should be a departure from the Faith and giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of Devils And 2 Tim. 3.1 In the last days perilous times should come men should be lovers of themselves covetous boasters proud blasphemers disobedient to parents unthankful unholy Then certainly we are those upon whom the énd of the world is come for how these things have been fulfilled is very dreadful to consider The Prophet Zephaniah Chap. 1. ver 14. saith The great day of the Lord is near it is near it hastneth greatly And ver 15. he tells us It is a day of wrath and distress a day of desolation a day of darkness and gloominess a day of clouds and thick darkness The day of Iudgement although it shall be a day of joy and rejoycing to the godly it shall be a day of woe to the wicked for who may abide the day of his coming and who shall be able to stand when he appeareth Mal. 3.2 Then wicked men shall cry to the mountains to fall upon them and hide them from the wrath of God for in that day the wicked and all the Nations that forget God shall be thrown into Hell there to abide for ever suffering the vengeance of eternal fire as S. Jude saith That day shall burn as an oven and the wicked shall be as stubble and that day shall burn them up saith the Lord. Mal. 4.1 But to those that fear his Name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in his wings and shall shine upon the just and receive them into the Kingdom of heaven where are joyes unspeakable and full of glory And now having shewed you the certainty of this great day of judgement and fore-warned you of the near approach thereof I will conclude with some few exhortations to all to prepare your selves for this great day Is it so then that there is a day of Iudgement and is that day at hand then let every one get Oyl get grace into the Lamp of his heart and rouze himself up from the world that whensoever the Lord cometh he may be ready We should live every day as if it were the last day we had to live for if judgement comes not yet death will certainly come We know not when we lay our selves down to sléep whether we shall awake again Many have been suddenly surprized by death that they have been taken away before they were fit to dye Although nothing is so certain as death yet nothing so uncertain as the hour and time when death will come The fool said in his heart Soul take thy ease eat drink and be merry for thou hast
