will have a Christ take him now before the evil days come Old Age is called evil days when you will not be so fit to seek him Now you are more fit to read the Scriptures than when your eyes are dim and you cannot see Now you are more fit to pray than when your knees are stiff and will not bend Prov. 6. 6 7 8 9. God sends thee to the Ant to get Wisdom The Ant Provides her meat in the Summer against Winter thy youth is thy Summer if thou wilt have a Christ get him now in thy youth Eccles 11. 9. Rejoyce O Young Man in thy Youth and let thine heart chear thee in the days of thy youth and walk in the sight of thine eyes and in the way of thine heart but know thou that for these things God will bring thee into Judgment God by this Ironical expression would turn young ones hearts from their sins to himself As if God had said Young Men if you think it your best way to go on in your sins and to walk in the ways of your own hearts go on but be it at your own peril for know ye that I will bring you to Judgment for all your ways and doings Consider how you shall be able to stand before me in judgment for these ways you now walk in and how you shall come off in that day There will be no standing for you without a Christ in that day Art thou a young one that readest these lines then remember that now is thy time to get a Christ but it may be Satan and thy Companions tell thee thou art young and needest not trouble thy self about these things yet but mayest follow thy pleasures and have time enough to get a Christ seven years hence mark what God says to this Prov. 27. 1. Boast not thy self of to morrow for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth If you will have a Christ take him to day make sure of him to day go and cry to God for him to night thou knowest not but thou mayest be in Hell before to morrow Remember the Man in the Gospel Luke 12. 19 20. who talked of many years but God said to him Thou Fool this Night shall thy Soul be required of thee Oh it is folly and madness to put off the getting of Christ 'till to morrow There is great danger in delaying 1.

Here may be sudden danger Job 21. 13. They spend their days in Wealth in Mirth and in a moment go down to the Grave Young ones consider this seriously what a dangerous thing it is to be Christless you may live in mirth and pleasure and have nothing trouble you but this doth not secure you from the grave Death comes of a sudden and knocks you down and you fall down in a moment not only into the Grave but if you be Christless into Hell-fire 1 Thes 5. 3. when they shall say Peace and safety sudden destruction cometh upon them as travel upon a Woman with Child and they shall not escape Mark this young one thou mayst flatter thy self saying thou shalt have peace and mercy but thou art never the better for flattering thy self for this will not help thee to escape nay thou art the worse for thou art in the greater danger For when is the time that destruction cometh The Text answers it and tells you the destruction cometh when they flatter themselves with false peace The Man in the Gospel promised himself many years but God brands him for a Fool for it This Night shall thy Soul be required of thee Who shall require his Soul the Devils they come and claim him because he is theirs not having an interest in Jesus Christ Take him Devils Devils take this Christless Soul away to Hell with it 3. It will be irrecoverable danger If thou art taken by Death out of Christ thy danger is irrecoverable thou enterest upon a state that is unchangeable that is if thou hast not got a Christ then there will be no getting him for ever there will be no change of your state for ever if then Christless you shall be for ever Christless therefore it is a dangerous thing to be found out of Christ Young one consider and lay it to heart Job 14. 14. if a Man dye shall he live again that is If things are amiss with him when he dyes shall he come into this World again to mend them If a Man dyes out of Christ shall he come again to get him No no therefore saith Job all my days I will wait prepare provide for my change by Death As the Tree falls so it lies as a Man's state is when Death comes so it finds and leaves him and as Death leaves him so Judgment finds him and so Sentence passeth upon him for ever Then the Sinner if it be not seared and past feeling will cry Lord give me a Christ mercy Lord I will have a Christ now let my sins go now Lord now I will be godly No now it is too late now the Lord proceeds to the Sentence if the Soul be in Christ happy is it then the Sentence is Come ye blessed enter into the Kingdom if the Soul be out of Christ then miserable for ever then the Sentence is Depart Cursed into Everlasting Fire with the Devil and his Angels Mat. 25. 41. Depart from me O this is dreadful though the Sinner doth not value God's presence now it will be for his presence then O Lord thy presence is the only happiness I had better never have been born than shut out of thy presence Lord if I must depart from thee bless me before I go No depart Cursed cursed Lord if I must depart let me go into some good place No depart Cursed into Everlasting Fire Lord then let me have some good Company No depart with the Devil and his Angels Devils and Damned Wretches shall be your Companions You were not for the Company of the Godly in the World but were for the Company of the Wicked therefore Devils and Damned ones shall be your Company in Hell then you will cry But Lord if I must go to such a miserable place and Company let it be but for a little time No depart Cursed into Everlasting Fire You were never weary of sinning therefore there shall never be end of your misery Oh this word will break the heart never never never You shall burn and be tormented burn and roar burn and howl ever ever ever There the Worm dyeth not there the Fire is not quenched Mark 9. 43 44.
