good_a treasure_n of_o the_o heart_n we_o bring_v forth_o good_a but_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o say_v christ_n that_o of_o every_o idle_a word_n that_o man_n shall_v speak_v they_o stall_v give_v account_n thereof_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n when_o as_o we_o shall_v answer_v for_o ourselves_o be_v altogether_o unable_a to_o answer_v one_o for_o a_o thousand_o yea_o so_o much_o the_o more_o grievous_a it_o shall_v be_v because_o we_o shall_v open_v all_o the_o secret_n of_o our_o heart_n and_o be_v enforce_v to_o confess_v our_o misdeed_n and_o to_o keep_v back_o nothing_o all_o must_v be_v manifest_a and_o not_o as_o it_o be_v in_o this_o world_n when_o upon_o the_o humble_a confession_n of_o our_o sin_n to_o god_n we_o may_v cry_v for_o pardon_n and_o hope_v to_o be_v forgive_v but_o then_o shall_v but_o confession_n be_v to_o our_o open_a shame_n confusion_n and_o endless_a destruction_n wherefore_o this_o day_n of_o judgement_n may_v well_o be_v call_v the_o day_n of_o revelation_n when_o as_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v now_o hide_v shall_v then_o be_v reveal_v and_o make_v know_v open_v secret_n open_v here_o on_o earth_n many_o thing_n be_v keep_v

manifest_a and_o at_o that_o day_n ro._n 2.16_o god_n shall_v judge_v the_o secret_n of_o man_n by_o jesus_n christ._n in_o this_o life_n many_o great_a and_o sinful_a deed_n be_v not_o punish_v but_o remain_v hide_v and_o unknown_a and_o the_o party_n pass_v as_o guilolesse_v and_o without_o all_o fault_n who_o think_v themselves_o clear_a enough_o so_o long_o as_o they_o can_v keep_v their_o own_o counsel_n but_o our_o saviour_n christ_n luke_n 8.17_o show_v the_o matter_n to_o be_v clean_o contrary_a nothing_o be_v secret_a that_o shall_v not_o be_v evident_a neither_o any_o thing_n

which_o we_o will_v not_o for_o all_o the_o world_n good_a shall_v be_v know_v abroad_o and_o in_o every_o man_n mouth_n yea_o &_o such_o sin_n that_o be_v forcible_a enough_o to_o drive_v we_o to_o despair_v yet_o see_v at_o the_o judgement_n day_n they_o shall_v be_v reveal_v be_v they_o never_o so_o secret_a we_o be_v move_v hereby_o to_o call_v for_o mercy_n while_o god_n do_v grant_v we_o life_n and_o to_o pray_v with_o the_o prophet_n o_o lord_n deliver_v i_o from_o my_o secret_a fault_n from_o my_o secret_a sin_n from_o my_o secret_a offence_n this_o therefore_o that_o our_o secret_a hide_a fault_n shall_v come_v to_o light_n &_o judgement_n be_v a_o very_a profitable_a lesson_n for_o we_o whereby_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o fear_v what_o we_o do_v although_o we_o may_v keep_v it_o close_o from_o man_n as_o also_o that_o we_o may_v bethink_v ourselves_o of_o that_o which_o be_v past_a and_o pray_v for_o forgiveness_n and_o be_v more_o wary_a and_o circumspect_a in_o time_n to_o

in_o the_o world_n yet_o they_o and_o we_o together_o with_o they_o may_v learn_v two_o profitable_a lesson_n first_o because_o as_o we_o think_v it_o be_v long_o before_o god_n do_v come_v to_o judgement_n although_o oftentimes_o he_o begin_v his_o judgement_n here_o upon_o earth_n by_o strange_a example_n which_o as_o i_o have_v say_v be_v the_o forerunner_n of_o his_o last_o judgement_n we_o may_v learn_v i_o say_v that_o with_o god_n a_o thousand_o year_n which_o we_o count_v a_o whole_a world_n be_v but_o as_o yesterday_o that_o be_v past_a and_o therefore_o that_o it_o be_v not_o long_o though_o it_o seem_v so_o unto_o us._n second_o that_o god_n hereby_o show_v his_o patience_n and_o long_a suffering_n his_o great_a compassion_n and_o mercy_n in_o that_o he_o will_v not_o the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n but_o wait_v for_o our_o repentance_n and_o amendment_n and_o think_v that_o in_o good_a time_n we_o will_v hate_v and_o avoid_v our_o wicked_a and_o shameful_a life_n and_o turn_v to_o he_o that_o we_o may_v be_v save_v for_o he_o will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o come_v to_o repentance_n and_o therefore_o the_o holy_a apostle_n s._n paul_n ro._n 2.4_o do_v great_o rebuke_v and_o speak_v against_o they_o who_o either_o make_v little_a account_n or_o despise_v the_o riches_n of_o god_n bountifulness_n and_o patience_n and_o long_o suffer_v not_o know_v that_o the_o bountifulness_n of_o god_n lead_v to_o repentance_n but_o we_o after_o our_o hardness_n and_o heart_n which_o either_o can_v or_o will_v not_o repent_v heap_v unto_o ourselves_o wrath_n against_o the_o day_n of_o wrath_n and_o of_o the_o declaration_n of_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n for_o indeed_o it_o be_v like_a to_o be_v with_o we_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o noah_n they_o care_v not_o for_o noah_n warning_n and_o preach_v unto_o they_o and_o rather_o make_v a_o mock_n of_o it_o they_o follow_v their_o own_o heart_n desire_v and_o do_v whatsoever_o seem_v good_a in_o their_o own_o eye_n so_o shall_v not_o we_o in_o this_o last_o iron_n age_n of_o the_o world_n regard_v any_o warning_n nor_o respect_v the_o counsel_n of_o they_o that_o wish_v we_o

his_o judgement_n which_o we_o must_v of_o force_n endure_v if_o we_o repent_v not_o i_o say_v if_o we_o shall_v forethink_v these_o matter_n we_o shall_v learn_v true_o to_o fear_n god_n &_o to_o

and_o i_o see_v another_o angel_n come_v up_o from_o the_o east_n which_o have_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o live_a god_n and_o he_o cry_v with_o a_o loud_a voice_n to_o the_o four_o angel_n to_o who_o

god_n in_o their_o forehead_n and_o then_o shall_v the_o judgement_n be_v as_o we_o read_v math._n 24.22_o except_o those_o day_n shall_v be_v shorten_v there_o shall_v no_o flesh_n be_v save_v but_o for_o the_o elect_v sake_n those_o day_n shall_v be_v shorten_v second_o this_o judgement_n be_v delay_v that_o the_o stubborn_a and_o ungodly_a may_v be_v thereby_o without_o excuse_n for_o they_o have_v warning_n enough_o exhortation_n &_o threaten_n at_o all_o time_n what_o their_o sin_n deserve_v and_o what_o they_o be_v to_o look_v for_o so_o that_o they_o can_v be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o judgement_n day_n neither_o can_v they_o say_v that_o they_o be_v oppress_v at_o unaware_o and_o this_o may_v suffice_v to_o prove_v not_o only_o that_o sin_n and_o our_o offence_n be_v and_o shall_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o judgement_n but_o also_o they_o that_o sin_n of_o set_a purpose_n &_o in_o scoff_v and_o mock_v sort_n think_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o judgement_n or_o rather_o do_v

his_o judgment_n &_o punishment_n upon_o they_o and_o that_o they_o faint_v not_o in_o well_o do_v but_o still_o hold_v on_o their_o course_n remember_v that_o god_n have_v appoint_v a_o day_n of_o judgement_n upon_o the_o which_o they_o must_v stay_v and_o depend_v and_o unto_o the_o which_o they_o must_v refer_v all_o matter_n and_o then_o shall_v all_o their_o cause_n be_v hear_v and_o all_o their_o grief_n ease_v notorious_a sin_n procure_v notorious_a punishment_n in_o this_o world_n but_o especial_o at_o the_o judgement_n day_n shall_v the_o full_a measure_n of_o all_o plague_n and_o punishment_n be_v fulfil_v and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o because_o that_o in_o this_o world_n many_o rule_n and_o reign_v in_o their_o wickedness_n and_o be_v as_o it_o be_v scotfree_a and_o as_o the_o prophet_n say_v they_o come_v in_o no_o misfortune_n like_o other_o man_n neither_o be_v they_o plague_v according_a to_o their_o desert_n but_o the_o latter_a day_n the_o day_n of_o doom_n and_o judgement_n be_v and_o shall_v be_v their_o day_n of_o assize_n and_o of_o their_o perpetual_a execution_n wherefore_o let_v none_o of_o we_o all_o suppress_v and_o banish_v the_o inward_a feel_n and_o knowledge_n of_o this_o judgement_n day_n see_v that_o by_o nature_n it_o be_v engraft_v into_o our_o heart_n and_o secret_a knowledge_n but_o rather_o let_v in_o have_v that_o effect_n in_o we_o that_o of_o right_n it_o ought_v to_o have_v we_o see_v it_o true_a in_o worldly_a matter_n and_o i_o will_v to_o god_n it_o be_v as_o true_a in_o heavenly_a matter_n for_o questionless_a the_o forethought_a of_o the_o assize_n and_o of_o the_o execution_n do_v fear_n many_o from_o their_o wicked_a purpose_n and_o make_v they_o take_v a_o other_o course_n and_o so_o no_o doubt_n will_v

more_o than_o that_o many_o think_v it_o shall_v never_o be_v well_o how_o far_o off_o the_o judgement_n day_n be_v god_n know_v and_o we_o may_v every_o day_n look_v for_o but_o by_o the_o way_n
