case he shall stand in The lamentable case of the sinner condemned For aboue him he shall haue the Iudge offended for his wickednesse beneath him the burning pit of Hell open and boyling ready to swallow him vp on his right hand his sinnes accusing on his left hand the Diuels as it were Iaylors and Executioners ready to execute Gods Sentence vpon him within him his conscience shall gnaw him paine him grieue him and testifie against him before him iudgement without mercy behinde him his euill life on euery side all damned soules bewailing and which way soeuer you cast your eyes you shall behold a burning fire O consider this ye that forget God lest hee teare you in pieces and there be none to deliuer you Sentence giuen of godly and vngodly and first of the godly The iust Iudge will pronounce sentence righteously both of the Sheepe on his right hand and Goates on his left hand of both godly and vngodly iust and vniust faithfull and vnfaithfull Sentence shall bee giuen of the godly according to the Gospel not onely offering but now giuing saluation to Gods faithfull children by the merits of Iesus Christ And the sentence will bee a kinde inuitation or rather receiuing to ioy in these words Come ye blessed of my Father inherite the Kingdome prepared for you from the beginning of the world c. On the contrary sentence shall be giuen of the Goates of the wicked and vngodly on the Iudges left hand according to the rigour of the Law with all it maledictions tortures and torments then presently to be put in execution against a lewd liuer these shall then indure their deserued endlesse punishments The Sentence against these is Depart ye cursed into euerlasting fire Sentence giuen against the wicked prepared for the Diuell and his Angels c. All this is ratified with a clause of an irreuocable sentence to wit These shall goe into euerlasting paine c. Of these paines of Hell as also of the ioyes of Heauen I had thought to haue written that by the consideration of the one the wicked may bee deterred from sinning and so auoid the punishment and by the consideration of the other they may be allured to well doing to seeke those things that are aboue and tread the straight way that leadeth to euerlasting life But hauing spent so much time already as I could well spare I will end for this present promising if my labours are accepted and God granteth time of life to performe it that I will write of the same at some other conuenient time I will therefore now end praying all Christians to listen to the exhortation following Beloued let vs prepare our selues for this iudgement dayly and euery moment Let the commandement of the Lord stirre vs vp to watch prouide and be in a readinesse Luk. 12.35 Let your loynes bee girded about and your lights burning and yee your selues like vnto men that wait for their Master when he will returne from the wedding that when he commeth and knocketh they may open vnto him immediately Blessed are those seruants whom the Lord when he commeth shall finde waking c. Let the example of the sudden floud proposed by Peter 2. Pet. 3. strike a care into vs and make vs afraid to be secure Let the consideration of the High Iudge which iudgeth with iustice and equitie all men of euery order age and kinde make vs prepare our selues against this day Let the signes now accomplished and fulfilled make vs fully resolued that the Day is at hand and strike a care into vs to bee prepared against the Lords comming Let the vncertaine houre to vs when it shall come and yet certain that once it will come and sooner then we thinke make vs obseruant and watchfull To conclude let the execution it selfe to wit euerlasting rewards and euerlasting punishments wanting all ease and mitigation of torments strike a feare in vs not to offend and make vs carefull to please God For God as the Apostle hath 2. Thes 1. will render vengeance in flaming fire to them which know him not and that obey not the Gospel of our Lord Iesus Christ Which shall bee punished with euerlasting damnation from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power when he shall come to be glorified in his Saints and to be made maruellous in all them that beleeue Let vs prepare our selues against that Day Aug. ad Demet. Epist 142. wherein Mundi gloria finienda est that is the glory of the world must take his end I say against that day and time which shall take tardy in deceitfull securitie many and therefore compared to the comming in of the Floud 2. Pet. 3. 1. Thes 5. in the dayes of Noah and to the comming of a Thiefe If a band of men should enter into a Citie and begin to destroy with fire and sword would not euery man tremble and quake If we thus feare our mortall enemies and the hand of man what shall wee doe when as the fearefull Trumpet shall sound from Heauen and at that voice of the Archangell more cleere and shrill then any Trumpet all the whole world shall rumble when we shall see not weapons made with hands but the whole powers of Heauen to be mooued and to threaten vengeance vnto vs. If a man-slayer or any other wicked person of whom punishment were to be taken by the iudgement of an earthly Iudge will tremble and quake at the sight of the Iudge and others standing about in iudgement and at the bloudy hand of the Hangman or Tormenter although he know that his end will bee but short then beloued consider what shame feare dolour and griefe will bee at the Day of Iudgement when all the euils and sorrowes that can bee imagined and deuised shall bee broached and ready to be inflicted vpon the wicked men of this world These and many other euils shall befall them which are holden with many cares of this world and thinke not of this last end of all things But we which repent beleeue and thinke of Christs comming conceiue ioy and wish for his comming as the certaine time of our Redemption and reward saying Come Lord Iesu Come To this Lord Iesus together with the Father and the Holy Ghost three Persons in one Essence be rendered all honour and glory power and seruice in Heauen and in Earth henceforth and for euer Amen FINIS
