v._o 43._o which_o for_o its_o own_o suddenness_n and_o our_o unpreparedness_n be_v compare_v to_o that_o of_o a_o thief_n in_o the_o night_n if_o he_o i_o say_v the_o extremity_n of_o who_o damage_n

i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o true_a order_n and_o connexion_n of_o what_o our_o lord_n have_v deliver_v upon_o this_o matter_n from_o ver._n 29._o to_o that_o of_o my_o text_n inclusive_o upon_o which_o that_o i_o may_v discourse_v in_o the_o most_o clear_a and_o familiar_a as_o well_o as_o what_o i_o conceive_v the_o most_o profitable_a manner_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o observe_v this_o follow_a

something_o of_o the_o suddenness_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n come_v and_o how_o that_o quality_n belong_v to_o it_o iii_o three_o to_o lay_v down_o some_o direction_n how_o we_o may_v be_v ready_a to_o meet_v he_o at_o that_o come_v of_o his._n iv_o after_o all_o which_o if_o the_o time_n will_v allow_v i_o to_o draw_v a_o inference_n or_o two_o from_o the_o forego_n head_n i_o shall_v full_o

business_n and_o immediate_a intent_n of_o they_o 1._o and_o here_o first_o of_o all_o i_o can_v but_o take_v notice_n that_o the_o son_n of_o man_n come_v whatever_o that_o expression_n mean_v be_v not_o at_o all_o attempt_v to_o be_v prove_v but_o declare_v only_o and_o speak_v of_o as_o a_o sufficient_o know_v and_o contestable_a truth_n the_o manner_n of_o it_o indeed_o and_o his_o pompous_a appearance_n be_v large_o describe_v the_o suddenness_n of_o it_o and_o the_o improvidence_n of_o the_o world_n be_v particular_o foretell_v many_o importunate_a exhortation_n to_o qualify_v and_o put_v our_o soul_n in_o due_a posture_n for_o it_o very_o move_o insist_v upon_o and_o the_o end_n of_o this_o come_v both_o in_o this_o and_o the_o follow_a chapter_n manifest_o declare_v to_o be_v the_o taking_z a_o account_n of_o his_o servant_n examine_v how_o each_o of_o they_o have_v acquit_v themselves_o in_o their_o respective_a trust_n and_o capacity_n and_o award_v to_o every_o one_o his_o portion_n and_o recompense_n according_o from_o all_o which_o it_o be_v exceed_o plain_a that_o the_o last_o general_n judgement_n be_v mean_v by_o it_o when_o all_o man_n shall_v give_v account_n for_o their_o own_o work_n and_o they_o that_o have_v do_v good_a shall_v go_v into_o life_n everlasting_a and_o they_o that_o have_v do_v evil_a into_o everlasting_a fire_n but_o of_o the_o judgement_n itself_o there_o be_v no_o pain_n take_v to_o argue_v and_o evince_n that_o such_o a_o thing_n shall_v be_v because_o this_o be_v already_o a_o establish_a notorious_a principle_n and_o
