of the Acts if the dayes be not shortned there shall be no flesh saved this beloved is to put you off from knowing the day of the Lords coming be carefull good people to prepare your selves do not think with the scoffers of the world that God will not come or like to Seduces and false Prophets bringing in damnable doctrine of Heresie but behold many shall follow their pernicious ways by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evill spoken of Pet. 2.2 if God therefore spared not the Angels that sinned but cast them down to Hell and delivered them into chains of darkness to be reserved unto judgement much more wil he reserve the fire of hell for the extortionall sinners of this world he spared not the whole world but drowned it saving eight persons bringing the floods upon the world of the ungodly so also shall fire and brimstone burn up the wicked and leave them neither root nor branch the Lord also turned the city of Sodom and Gomorrah unto ashes condemned them with an overthrow making an example to all those that ever after should live ungodly and delivered just Lot who was vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked so will GOD doe at the Iudgement day he will sever the wicked from the righteous and shower upon them everlasting Torments we in England do as justly deserve sudden destruction as did these Cities of Sodom and Gomorrah for there was not any one sin raigned there but it is as frequently here the sin of pride never raigned more then it doth at this hour both in City and Country and that 's cloaked over with a badg of Galantry to what profit is it to be as Dives was in the Gospell to dwell in a sumptuous Building to wear rare apparel to fair delicately every day to have all the delights that the world could afford him to be in damnable torments for ever be content and strive not dear Friends to gain this to loose heaven for the glory of the world is as nothing to the glory of God besides sin so aboundeth in number it is more then the sands of Sea Sodom had not the sins as we have why therefore O God are we not destroyed O thou God art infinite in mercy and truth sparing thy people willing them to amendment of life but I wil present to your view what sins are now in groth at this present time first raigns pride covetousness malice envy hatred in all abundance besides the most damnable sins of cursing and swearing lying drunkenness whoredom and divers other sins which are weights to weigh a sinner down to Hell Oh dear Friends put from you sin which is the main thing that kéeps you from Heaven yea you take delight in sinning to fulfill the lusts thereof you think when you roar it in Taverns you do a good work when you hurt both soul and body you vapour and exalt your selves when you should be méek and lowly you drink Béer and Wine to excesse when you should be sober besides running to carnal lusts when you should be chast using most damnable Oaths and prophane actions letting your mouths speak guile acting all evil abominably to the face of God and thus in the practice of sin you run continually never thinking of the terrible day of Iudgement yea mighty terrible will it be to the wicked and who will be able to stand before the righteous Judge who judges in truth and righteousnesse according to the work of every mans doings In what a sad condition my friends are you in to he judged according to your doings doth it not behoove you all to have a care of your actions if your works be bad you must receive its just reward of punishment if your works be just your case will be happy at this general seat of

earthly friends can pay the ransome of your souls in what a vaile of misery are you plunged in at this hour the Divel is on one side of you against the word of Sentence is past to bring you to eternal damnation your own conscience on the other side witnessing against you of all the hidden secret sins which you in your life time have committed the wrath of Gods fury hangs over you his scourging Rod

and before shall be gathered all Nations together and he shall separate them one from another as a shepherd divideth his Sheep from his Goats and he shall set the Sheep on the right hand and the Goats on the left and to the righteous shall say Come ye blessed of my Father inherit the Kingdome of God prepared for you from the beginning but to the wicked he saith Go you cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the Divel and his Angels Matth. 24.31 32 34 41.
