in_o this_o observation_n 1._o it_o carry_v awe_n in_o it_o to_o man_n while_o they_o live_v to_o put_v they_o on_o the_o great_a circumspection_n to_o themselves_o in_o their_o whole_a course_n if_o

be_v and_z according_o all_o man_n be_v reserve_v for_o it_o it_o be_v the_o latter_a of_o these_o statute_n then_o that_o i_o be_o now_o to_o treat_v of_o though_o with_o that_o respect_n as_o it_o be_v consequent_a upon_o the_o former_a in_o the_o word_n then_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v 1._o a_o statute_n for_o the_o judgement_n be_v assert_v and_o thereby_o we_o be_v assure_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v without_o fail_v for_o the_o appointment_n mention_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o verse_n have_v reference_n to_o this_o as_o well_o as_o to_o death_n and_o this_o

it_o shall_v be_v after_o yet_o we_o have_v scripture_n warrant_v to_o conclude_v that_o every_o one_o personal_a judgement_n will_v follow_v present_o upon_o it_o though_o the_o great_a and_o

from_o the_o general_a rule_n about_o death_n who_o have_v be_v translate_v or_o shall_v be_v change_v but_o even_o these_o also_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o judgement_n hence_o doctrine_n a_o

that_o every_o one_o must_v die_v soon_o or_o late_a be_v a_o acknowledge_a truth_n by_o all_o and_o prove_v by_o universal_a experience_n though_o oh_o how_o few_o do_v improve_v it_o to_o good_a purpose_n and_o a_o reason_n why_o this_o truth_n have_v no_o more_o proper_a or_o suitable_a impression_n on_o man_n mind_n may_v be_v because_o either_o they_o believe_v not_o or_o put_v from_o they_o the_o thought_n of_o the_o ensue_a account_n which_o they_o shall_v be_v call_v unto_o and_o look_v no_o further_o than_o the_o grave_a where_o they_o think_v there_o will_v be_v a_o end_n of_o they_o which_o must_v needs_o make_v they_o unconcerned_a for_o that_o which_o come_v after_o but_o here_o we_o be_v lead_v into_o the_o contemplation_n of_o a_o more_o awful_a truth_n which_o be_v no_o less_o real_a though_o not_o so_o obvious_a to_o the_o sense_n i_o shall_v not_o at_o present_a enter_v upon_o any_o distinct_a or_o methodical_a discourse_n about_o this_o matter_n but_o only_o make_v some_o cursory_a glance_n on_o it_o there_o be_v therefore_o three_o or_o four_o brief_a observation_n which_o i_o shall_v make_v on_o this_o truth_n to_o make_v it_o practicable_a 1._o that_o there_o be_v a_o future_a judgement_n to_o which_o all_o reasonable_a creature_n shall_v be_v call_v how_o far_o the_o doctrine_n of_o a_o future_a judgement_n have_v be_v entertain_v by_o the_o

article_n of_o faith_n commend_v to_o we_o by_o the_o infallible_a oracle_n of_o that_o god_n who_o cannot_o or_o be_v mistake_v be_v write_v with_o sun_n beam_n in_o his_o word_n read_v for_o this_o eccles_n 12._o 14._o god_n will_v bring_v every_o work_n into_o judgement_n with_o every_o secret_a thing_n whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n act_n 17._o 31._o he_o have_v appoint_v a_o day_n in_o which_o he_o will_v judge_v the_o world_n in_o righteousness_n by_o the_o man_n who_o he_o have_v appoint_v 2_o cor._n 5._o 10._o we_o must_v all_o appear_v before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o christ_n that_o ●u●ry_a one_o may_v receive_v the_o thing_n do_v in_o the_o body_n and_o we_o have_v a_o description_n of_o it_o give_v to_o we_o by_o christ_n himself_o in_o math._n 25._o 33_o to_o end_v and_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o for_z there_o be_v a_o special_a government_n of_o god_n to_o be_v acknowledge_v in_o the_o managment_n whereof_o he_o will_v bring_v all_o reasonable_a creature_n to_o a_o everlasting_a state_n of_o happiness_n or_o misery_n according_a to_o their_o obedience_n or_o disobedience_n to_o the_o law_n of_o that_o government_n in_o prosecution_n whereof_o he_o will_v display_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o grace_n god_n deal_v with_o his_o creature_n in_o his_o government_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n which_o he_o see_v meet_v to_o bestow_v on_o they_o in_o their_o creation_n now_o when_o god_n create_v man_n he_o make_v he_o a_o reasonable_a creature_n and_o thereby_o capable_a of_o be_v treat_v in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o

of_o life_n in_o case_n of_o his_o perform_n of_o perfect_a obedience_n thereunto_o denounce_v death_n against_o he_o in_o case_n he_o shall_v disobey_v he_o have_v also_o upon_o man_n apostasy_n by_o which_o he_o fall_v under_o a_o curse_n of_o death_n reveal_v to_o he_o a_o new_a and_o a_o live_a way_n for_o his_o recovery_n out_o of_o that_o misery_n into_o which_o he_o be_v plunge_v and_o have_v treat_v some_o of_o that_o race_n with_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n in_o which_o he_o have_v promise_v they_o life_n upon_o their_o compliance_n with_o it_o and_o menace_v they_o with_o

that_o acknowledge_v a_o government_n of_o god_n over_o rational_a being_n must_v needs_o believe_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o judgement_n or_o a_o time_n of_o trial_n and_o recompense_n ii_o that_o this_o judgement_n be_v after_o death_n this_o be_v the_o order_n that_o it_o be_v manifest_o put_v in_o text._n that_o there_o be_v many_o awful_a and_o stupendous_a judgement_n that_o god_n

the_o lord_n be_v know_v by_o the_o judgement_n that_o he_o execute_v there_o be_v also_o a_o court_n which_o god_n have_v set_v up_o in_o man_n conscience_n at_o which_o bar_n they_o be_v sometime_o
