unquestionable_a undoubted_a truth_n that_o for_o all_o these_o thing_n god_n will_v bring_v thou_o to_o judgement_n 2._o consider_v that_o this_o judgement_n be_v near_o at_o hand_n and_o will_v short_o take_v place_n 3._o consider_v your_o summons_n may_v be_v sudden_a before_o you_o be_v aware_a 4._o consider_v that_o youth_n and_o health_n be_v the_o fit_a time_n to_o prepare_v for_o this_o judgement_n of_o god_n 5._o that_o if_o through_o the_o temptation_n of_o carnal_a mirth_n and_o youthful_a lust_n you_o neglect_v your_o preparation_n it_o be_v more_o than_o probable_a your_o passage_n by_o death_n to_o this_o judgement_n of_o god_n will_v be_v very_o uncomfortable_a and_o full_a of_o horror_n 6._o that_o this_o judgement_n itself_o and_o its_o immediate_a consequence_n will_v be_v intolerable_o dreadful_a to_o unprepared_a sinner_n whether_o young_a or_o old_a 1._o consider_v that_o notwithstanding_o your_o present_a mirth_n and_o jollity_n yet_o this_o final_a judgement_n be_v infallible_o certain_a what_o be_v here_o affirm_v concern_v person_n be_v assert_v likewise_o concern_v thing_n in_o the_o next_o chapter_n 12.14_o eccl._n 12.14_o that_o god_n will_v bring_v every_o work_n into_o judgement_n with_o every_o secret_a thing_n whither_o it_o be_v good_a or_o whither_o it_o be_v evil_a methinks_v i_o need_v not_o tell_v you_o that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o this_o final_a judgement_n be_v declare_v in_o scripture_n with_o the_o great_a plainess_n confirm_v by_o the_o strong_a evidence_n and_o press_v upon_o the_o conscience_n with_o the_o most_o cogent_a and_o enforce_v and_o argument_n espicial_o since_o the_o pretend_a objection_n on_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o sadducee_n and_o the_o sensual_a epicure_n be_v so_o weak_a and_o trifle_a that_o if_o their_o lust_n be_v not_o strong_a than_o their_o argument_n they_o themselves_o will_v be_v ashamed_a to_o offer_v they_o for_o whoever_o disbelieve_v a_o future_a judgement_n must_v either_o conclude_v that_o the_o almighty_a god_n can_v or_o that_o the_o righteous_a god_n will_v not_o call_v we_o to_o a_o account_n for_o what_o we_o have_v receive_v and_o do_v though_o his_o absolute_a omnipotence_n do_v assure_v we_o that_o he_o can_v and_o his_o invariable_a truth_n have_v declare_v his_o purpose_n that_o undoubted_o he_o will_v and_o do_v we_o think_v that_o all_o the_o assurance_n of_o this_o judgement_n of_o god_n which_o the_o scripture_n give_v we_o that_o all_o those_o plain_a assertion_n concern_v the_o judge_n himself_o and_o the_o person_n to_o be_v judge_v and_o the_o consequence_n of_o the_o judgement_n and_o the_o certainty_n of_o it_o that_o they_o be_v only_a term_n of_o art_n to_o affright_v the_o world_n and_o not_o real_a intend_a truth_n which_o will_v take_v effect_n according_a to_o their_o natural_a meaning_n that_o the_o whole_a account_n be_v perfect_a fiction_n and_o mere_a romance_n contrive_v on_o purpose_n to_o keep_v the_o world_n in_o due_a decorum_n and_o so_o to_o prevent_v some_o bad_a effect_n only_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o present_a state_n of_o thing_n which_o will_v probable_o follow_v if_o this_o belief_n do_v not_o obtain_v whereas_o be_v it_o not_o necessary_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o judgement_n day_n for_o the_o conviction_n and_o condemnation_n of_o great_a sinner_n that_o scorn_v the_o legislative_a authority_n of_o god_n and_o trample_v on_o his_o government_n and_o be_v above_o the_o check_n and_o conroul_v of_o humane_a law_n to_o manifest_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n as_o ruler_n of_o the_o world_n in_o render_v to_o every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n and_o to_o uphold_v the_o honour_n of_o his_o wise_a government_n whereof_o judgement_n be_v as_o necessary_a and_o essential_a a_o part_n as_o legislation_n the_o latter_a without_o the_o former_a be_v little_a else_o than_o show_n and_o mockery_n be_v it_o not_o necessary_a for_o the_o vindication_n of_o religion_n from_o that_o contempt_n and_o scorn_n that_o be_v pour_v upon_o it_o be_v it_o not_o necessary_a to_o unriddle_v the_o mystery_n of_o divine_a providence_n and_o disclose_v the_o secret_a wickedness_n of_o hypocrite_n and_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o those_o that_o serve_v he_o and_o those_o that_o refuse_v to_o do_v so_o as_o likewise_o to_o rectify_v the_o mistake_n and_o false_a opinion_n that_o be_v abroad_o in_o the_o world_n concern_v god_n and_o christ_n and_o holiness_n and_o sin_n to_o put_v a_o end_n to_o controversy_n and_o determine_v the_o difference_n concern_v what_o be_v truth_n and_o what_o be_v error_n these_o and_o such_o like_a thing_n consider_v beside_o the_o authority_n of_o divine_a writ_n do_v moral_o assure_v we_o that_o there_o will_v be_v a_o after-reckoning_n and_o a_o final_a judgement_n and_o methinks_v one_o think_v of_o the_o certainty_n thereof_o shall_v give_v a_o check_n to_o your_o carnal_a mirth_n and_o cast_v a_o damp_n upon_o your_o sensual_a joy_n and_o abate_v your_o heat_n and_o vigour_n in_o a_o course_n of_o sin_n for_o do_v we_o but_o believe_v that_o for_o all_o these_o thing_n god_n

2._o consider_v that_o this_o judgement_n be_v near_o at_o hand_n and_o will_v short_o take_v place_n as_o death_n will_v consign_v we_o over_o to_o god_n tribunal_n so_o childhood_n and_o youth_n

begin_v to_o burn_v or_o a_o hour_n glass_n assoon_o as_o it_o be_v turn_v do_v hasten_v to_o its_o end_n our_o life_n wither_v like_o a_o flower_n 90.4_o 1_o pet._n 1.24_o psal_n 90.4_o and_o pass_v
