own_o soul_n second_o consider_v when_o a_o man_n sleep_v and_o slumber_n in_o sin_n duty_n how_o unfit_a he_o be_v for_o any_o christian_a duty_n and_o exercise_n for_o the_o main_a part_n of_o godliness_n and_o christianity_n how_o unfit_a be_v a_o sleepy_a man_n for_o the_o action_n of_o life_n and_o of_o his_o call_n and_o how_o unfit_a and_o unable_a and_o indispose_v be_v a_o man_n that_o slepe_v in_o sin_n to_o the_o action_n of_o spiritual_a life_n there_o be_v some_o main_a part_n and_o branch_n of_o our_o general_a call_v to_o which_o this_o sleep_n make_v we_o unable_a the_o first_o of_o they_o be_v the_o exercise_n of_o godliness_n the_o main_a thing_n exercise_n in_o the_o profession_n of_o a_o christian_n to_o exercise_v himself_o in_o godliness_n how_o unfit_a be_v a_o sleepy_a christian_a for_o this_o who_o see_v a_o man_n that_o be_v asleep_a that_o work_v in_o his_o call_v that_o can_v do_v any_o good_a in_o it_o so_o how_o can_v a_o christian_a exercise_n himself_o in_o the_o action_n of_o his_o general_a call_v when_o he_o sleep_v in_o his_o pray_n in_o his_o hear_n in_o his_o read_n if_o these_o duty_n be_v do_v cold_o what_o be_v they_o worth_a action_n that_o be_v do_v in_o a_o man_n sleep_n they_o come_v to_o nothing_o so_o a_o man_n that_o sleep_v in_o sin_n let_v he_o do_v never_o so_o many_o good_a action_n they_o be_v of_o no_o value_n a_o second_o main_a branch_n of_o our_o christian_a call_v be_v the_o spiritual_a combat_n combat_n to_o fight_v against_o our_o corruption_n now_o alas_o how_o unfit_a be_v a_o sleepy_a man_n either_o to_o expect_v or_o to_o repel_v a_o enemy_n when_o he_o be_v asleep_a he_o lie_v open_a to_o all_o disadvantage_n sisera_n himself_o a_o strong_a and_o noble_a captain_n be_v so_o weak_a that_o a_o silly_a woman_n jael_n slay_v he_o when_o he_o be_v asleep_a therefore_o we_o know_v this_o part_n of_o our_o christian_a calling_n can_v hold_v as_o long_o as_o we_o sleep_v in_o sin_n three_o another_o part_n and_o main_a branch_n of_o christianity_n be_v to_o come_v expect_v our_o master_n return_n to_o wait_v for_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n that_o we_o may_v enjoy_v that_o sweet_a blessedness_n that_o he_o have_v promise_v and_o make_v we_o expect_v and_o wait_v for_o now_o how_o unfit_a be_v a_o sleepy_a man_n to_o wait_v for_o his_o master_n come_v to_o set_v thing_n in_o order_n thus_o we_o see_v in_o these_o particular_a main_a duty_n of_o christianity_n they_o can_v be_v perform_v by_o man_n that_o be_v asleep_a therefore_o we_o have_v need_v to_o wake_v ourselves_o if_o we_o will_v either_o honour_n god_n or_o profit_v ourselves_o if_o will_v be_v fit_a to_o do_v service_n to_o god_n or_o to_o his_o church_n we_o must_v keep_v ourselves_o awake_a especial_o in_o the_o main_a duty_n of_o christianity_n not_o three_o consider_v while_o we_o sleep_v and_o be_v secure_a the_o enemy_n never_o sleep_v he_o be_v then_o most_o watchful_a against_o we_o we_o may_v sleep_v and_o think_v we_o do_v well_o enough_o to_o take_v our_o ease_n but_o satan_n sleep_v not_o we_o have_v a_o watchful_a enemy_n to_o deal_v with_o and_o then_o he_o have_v some_o advantage_n by_o our_o sleep_n in_o mat._n 13._o in_o that_o parable_n the_o enemy_n sow_n tare_n while_o man_n sleep_v he_o come_v 13._o into_o the_o field_n of_o the_o heart_n where_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o good_a seed_n be_v sow_v and_o what_o do_v he_o do_v there_o he_o sow_n a_o crop_n of_o thorn_n and_o they_o make_v the_o heart_n of_o a_o christian_a like_o the_o field_n of_o solomon_n sluggard_n prov._n 24._o i_o pass_v by_o the_o field_n of_o the_o sluggard_n and_o 24._o it_o be_v all_o thorn_n etc._n etc._n thus_o be_v the_o heart_n that_o be_v neglect_v of_o a_o man_n that_o be_v sleepy_a and_o secure_a in_o sin_n when_o do_v robber_n and_o thief_n assault_v the_o house_n in_o the_o dead_a time_n of_o the_o night_n when_o they_o may_v take_v man_n at_o advantage_n in_o their_o first_o sleep_n than_o they_o come_v and_o break_v into_o the_o house_n shall_v thief_n and_o burglary_n watch_v at_o midnight_n to_o break_v the_o house_n and_o cut_v man_n throat_n and_o will_v not_o thou_o watch_v to_o save_v thyself_o further_o consider_v as_o the_o enemy_n never_o sleep_v so_o god_n mercy_n never_o sleep_v god_n mercy_n be_v ever_o watch_v over_o we_o to_o do_v we_o not_o good_a and_o it_o watch_v to_o keep_v we_o watchful_a for_o what_o shall_v all_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n do_v to_o we_o but_o keep_v we_o watchful_a our_o god_n that_o we_o serve_v be_v not_o as_o baal_n the_o god_n of_o idolater_n perhaps_o he_o be_v asleep_a and_o must_v be_v awake_v or_o he_o be_v chase_v his_o adversary_n no_o no_o the_o strength_n that_o keep_v israel_n slumber_v not_o nor_o sleep_n therefore_o let_v not_o israel_n slumber_n nor_o sleep_n because_o god_n watch_v over_o his_o child_n let_v they_o watch_v with_o he_o and_o keep_v themselves_o near_o to_o he_o five_o if_o this_o will_v not_o move_v thou_o then_o consider_v as_o god_n mercy_n not_o sleep_v not_o so_o god_n judgement_n sleep_v not_o that_o man_n that_o sleep_v in_o sin_n let_v he_o know_v that_o god_n judgement_n sleep_v not_o as_o balaam_n when_o he_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n the_o angel_n watch_v he_o and_o catch_v he_o in_o this_o corner_n and_o in_o that_o corner_n he_o can_v go_v into_o no_o corner_n but_o the_o angel_n with_o his_o draw_a sword_n be_v ready_a to_o meet_v he_o and_o to_o slay_v he_o and_o the_o apostle_n say_v of_o those_o that_o be_v lead_v away_o by_o false_a teacher_n their_o damnation_n sleep_v not_o god_n judgement_n be_v always_o wake_v thou_o may_v sleep_v on_o both_o side_n in_o sin_n but_o god_n justice_n sleep_v not_o and_o thou_o that_o be_v the_o lord_n if_o thou_o sleep_v know_v that_o correction_n and_o chastisement_n sleep_v not_o and_o they_o will_v awake_v thou_o thou_o be_v better_a to_o awake_v by_o slight_a mean_n to_o conclude_v all_o consider_v that_o all_o of_o we_o there_o be_v no_o man_n upon_o death_n the_o earth_n but_o we_o be_v all_o go_v to_o meet_v the_o mortal_a sl●…epe_n of_o death_n and_o if_o we_o shall_v when_o that_o meet_v we_o have_v our_o own_o conscience_n tell_v we_o that_o we_o have_v also_o a_o spiritual_a sleep_n within_o we_o that_o we_o carry_v a_o spiritual_a sleep_n to_o meet_v that_o mortal_a sleep_n what_o a_o miserable_a and_o mournful_a state_n will_v that_o be_v when_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n that_o be_v come_v to_o die_v shall_v say_v and_o speak_v aloud_o and_o witness_v against_o his_o master_n o_o thou_o have_v be_v a_o sluggish_a and_o sleepy_a christian_a thou_o have_v have_v good_a mean_n but_o thou_o have_v not_o keep_v thy_o watch_n thou_o will_v sleep_v do_v what_o the_o exhortation_n of_o the_o word_n can_v thou_o will_v be_v a_o drowsy_a christian_a hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o so_o many_o when_o on_o their_o deathbed_n they_o come_v to_o grapple_v with_o that_o mortal_a sleep_n and_o then_o conscience_n proclaim_v against_o they_o than_o they_o cry_v oh_o that_o i_o have_v but_o one_o day_n but_o one_o hour_n more_o that_o i_o may_v waken_v and_o strengthen_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v ready_a to_o die_v and_o that_o it_o may_v be_v better_o with_o i_o than_o it_o be_v but_o alas_o now_o their_o short_a day_n be_v past_a and_o one_o perpetual_a night_n to_o come_v and_o now_o it_o be_v too_o late_o as_o it_o prove_v many_o time_n therefore_o let_v not_o time_n go_v but_o know_v that_o that_o mournful_a day_n must_v come_v upon_o we_o we_o must_v meet_v that_o mortal_a sleep_n let_v we_o labour_n to_o shake_v off_o spiritual_a sleep_n drowsiness_n of_o spirit_n and_o make_v our_o peace_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n that_o conscience_n may_v witness_v with_o we_o and_o for_o we_o at_o the_o day_n of_o death_n and_o judgement_n let_v we_o labour_n to_o be_v watchful_a and_o desire_v to_o be_v ready_a for_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o have_v our_o account_n ready_a for_o he_o this_o shall_v suffice_v for_o the_o word_n now_o for_o our_o occasion_n because_o this_o be_v my_o first_o occasion_n of_o this_o kind_n i_o must_v enter_v with_o a_o preface_n and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o as_o i_o have_v ever_o be_v in_o the_o course_n of_o my_o ministry_n so_o i_o shall_v be_v very_o spare_v in_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o dead_a because_o i_o know_v that_o these_o exercise_n be_v appoint_v for_o the_o instruct_n of_o the_o live_n and_o the_o consolation_n of_o those_o that_o survive_v and_o not_o for_o the_o praise_n and_o commemoration_n of_o the_o dead_a beside_o i_o know_v and_o see_v by_o daily_a

tell_v i_o then_o what_o be_v the_o disquiet_n that_o spring_v from_o sin_n in_o a_o cain_n in_o a_o judas_n when_o it_o meet_v with_o a_o despair_a disposition_n thus_o you_o see_v sin_n have_v this_o time_n to_o sting_v and_o therefore_o think_v not_o that_o sin_n will_v never_o sting_v till_o death_n sometime_o sin_n sting_v a_o man_n before_o death_n another_o time_n be_v at_o death_n when_o death_n come_v and_o arrest_v death_n a_o sinner_n in_o a_o action_n from_o god_n seize_v on_o a_o person_n that_o be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n on_o one_o that_o be_v in_o his_o sin_n untouched_a howsoever_o he_o behave_v himself_o in_o his_o life-time_n yet_o then_o the_o very_a name_n of_o death_n break_v his_o heart_n it_o apale_v he_o and_o then_o it_o sting_v such_o a_o person_n it_o be_v appoint_v belove_v for_o all_o of_o we_o once_o to_o die_v death_n will_v one_o day_n arrest_v every_o man_n but_o when_o death_n appear_v before_o a_o man_n that_o have_v not_o a_o part_n in_o christ_n that_o be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o his_o sin_n when_o it_o come_v to_o a_o belshazzar_n it_o make_v his_o very_a joint_n to_o smite_v one_o against_o another_o it_o be_v a_o sting_n to_o he_o amide_v all_o those_o sweet_a morsel_n his_o sin_n which_o he_o so_o much_o affect_v and_o so_o earnest_o pursue_v it_o be_v as_o a_o very_a poison_n to_o he_o nothing_o be_v a_o poison_n now_o to_o we_o but_o sin_n only_o but_o then_o at_o the_o time_n of_o death_n sin_n be_v a_o poison_n indeed_o last_o sin_n can_v sting_v not_o only_o before_o and_o at_o but_o after_o death_n death_n both_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o after_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n be_v not_o the_o conscience_n of_o a_o sinner_n judgement_n think_v you_o stinge_v and_o his_o spirit_n deep_o affect_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a wrath_n of_o god_n that_o be_v to_o be_v pour_v out_o when_o he_o shall_v cry_v to_o the_o mountain_n to_o cover_v he_o when_o he_o shall_v call_v to_o those_o insensible_a creature_n that_o be_v not_o able_a to_o lend_v he_o that_o courtesy_n to_o crush_v he_o to_o nothing_o make_v this_o our_o own_o case_n think_v of_o it_o it_o will_v be_v our_o case_n as_o it_o be_v appoint_v for_o we_o all_o to_o die_v so_o we_o must_v all_o come_v to_o judgtment_n and_o after_o the_o judgement_n when_o the_o sentence_n go_v you_o curse_v be_v judgement_n past_a the_o sting_n of_o sin_n cease_v not_o no_o the_o worm_n for_o ever_o gnaw_v in_o hell_n it_o be_v a_o happiness_n for_o a_o sinner_n if_o he_o may_v only_o hear_v the_o sentence_n if_o this_o worm_n may_v not_o still_o gnaw_v his_o conscience_n but_o then_o this_o be_v his_o burden_n sin_n shall_v sting_v he_o for_o ever_o this_o be_v the_o first_o respect_n in_o which_o sin_n be_v call_v the_o sting_n of_o death_n because_o then_o sin_n sting_v more_o emminent_o and_o sensible_o second_o it_o be_v call_v the_o sting_n of_o death_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o metaphor_n the_o apostle_n alude_v unto_o it_o be_v take_v from_o the_o sting_n of_o a_o serpent_n and_o so_o sin_n be_v a_o sting_n in_o a_o double_a respect_n first_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o fearfulness_n and_o then_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o hurtfulness_n of_o it_o first_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o fearfulness_n it_o be_v sin_n that_o make_v death_n fearful_a fearful_a to_o a_o man_n indeed_o i_o confess_v that_o in_o the_o best_a christian_n though_o christ_n have_v pull_v out_o the_o sting_n of_o death_n yet_o there_o be_v natural_a grudge_n and_o shrugging_n as_o to_o a_o serpent_n though_o the_o sting_n be_v pull_v away_o yet_o there_o be_v some_o abhorring_n and_o dissike_n in_o a_o man_n but_o then_o how_o terrible_a be_v dearth_n when_o it_o come_v in_o complete_a armour_n as_o it_o do_v against_o a_o person_n in_o who_o sin_n remain_v in_o its_o full_a power_n it_o must_v needs_o then_o be_v terrible_a see_v the_o difference_n between_o two_o person_n the_o one_o be_v afraid_a of_o every_o one_o he_o meet_v the_o other_o be_v not_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n the_o one_o be_v great_o indebt_v and_o engage_v the_o other_o be_v free_a so_o it_o be_v with_o a_o christian_a and_o another_o man_n the_o one_o can_v hear_v of_o death_n but_o his_o heart_n break_v he_o be_v full_a of_o fear_n and_o horror_n the_o other_o hear_v of_o death_n and_o be_v only_o somewhat_o affect_v in_o the_o hear_n of_o it_o but_o not_o possess_v with_o that_o fear_n as_o be_v the_o other_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n the_o sting_n of_o death_n remain_v in_o one_o and_o not_o in_o another_o sin_n therefore_o be_v a_o sting_n in_o that_o respect_n second_o it_o be_v a_o sting_n in_o respect_n of_o hurtfulness_n the_o sting_n of_o hurtful_a the_o serpent_n be_v a_o hurtful_a thing_n it_o poison_v the_o vital_a part_n it_o take_v away_o life_n itself_o all_o the_o evil_a that_o come_v to_o we_o by_o death_n come_v by_o sin_n man_n need_v not_o complain_v of_o the_o illness_n of_o the_o prison_n so_o much_o as_o of_o his_o own_o folly_n that_o he_o engage_v himself_o in_o debt_n whereby_o he_o be_v cast_v into_o prison_n why_o complain_v thou_o of_o the_o misery_n in_o hell_n rather_o labour_v to_o break_v off_o thy_o sin_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o that_o misery_n all_o the_o hurtful_a quality_n and_o miserable_a condition_n that_o befall_v a_o person_n in_o death_n and_o hell_n be_v for_o sin_n the_o eternal_a separation_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o god_n and_o all_o punishment_n that_o follow_v after_o in_o hell_n be_v the_o fruit_n of_o man_n sin_n hell_n have_v not_o be_v hell_n without_o snne_n it_o be_v sin_n that_o cause_v it_o to_o become_v hurtful_a thus_o i_o have_v explain_v these_o inquiry_n now_o i_o come_v to_o make_v use_n and_o application_n and_o so_o conclude_v the_o point_n the_o first_o use_n of_o this_o point_n shall_v be_v this_o if_o sin_n be_v the_o sting_n of_o use_v death_n let_v it_o be_v our_o wisdom_n to_o get_v this_o sting_n pull_v out_o in_o the_o time_n of_o our_o life_n oh_o that_o this_o people_n be_v wise_a say_v god_n then_o will_v they_o consider_v their_o latter_a end_n if_o you_o be_v wise_a that_o hear_v i_o this_o day_n you_o will_v consider_v that_o death_n will_v come_v and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o take_v away_o beforehand_o with_o a_o sting_n upon_o the_o soul_n my_o brethren_n we_o have_v many_o enemy_n to_o deal_v with_o even_o now_o at_o this_o very_a instant_n but_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o enemy_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v the_o last_o enemy_n to_o be_v subdue_v be_v deaeh_n he_o
