to_o the_o nature_n of_o their_o wa●es_n which_o we_o see_v be_v not_o do_v here_o where_o the_o wicked_a prosper_n and_o the_o good_a be_v afflict_v therefore_o it_o must_v be_v hereafter_o 2._o we_o see_v there_o be_v a_o necessity_n that_o god_n shall_v make_v promise_n and_o threaten_n of_o everlasting_a happiness_n or_o misery_n for_o the_o right_n govern_v hf●_n the_o world_n for_o we_o certain_o perceive_v that_o no_o low_a thing_n will_v keep_v man_n from_o destroy_v all_o humane_a society_n and_o live_v worse_o than_o bruit_n beast_n and_o if_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o king_n such_o threat_n and_o promise_n than_o there_o be_v certain_o a_o necessity_n of_o fulfil_n they_o for_o god_n need_v no_o lie_n or_o mean_n of_o deceive_a to_o rule_v the_o world_n 2._o and_o as_o we_o see_v it_o by_o reason_n so_o by_o certain_a experience_n that_o this_o be_v descernable_a by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n for_o all_o the_o world_n or_o almost_o all_o do_v believe_v it_o even_o those_o nation_n where_o the_o gospel_n never_o come_v and_o have_v nothing_o but_o what_o they_o have_v by_o nature_n even_o the_o most_o barbarous_a indian●_n acknowledge_v some_o life_n after_o this_o and_o a_o difference_n of_o man_n according_a as_o they_o be_v here_o therefore_o you_o must_v believe_v thus_o much_o or_o renounce_v your_o common_a reason_n and_o humanity_n as_o well_o as_o your_o christianity_n let_v i_o therefore_o persuade_v you_o all_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n to_o confirm_v your_o soul_n in_o the_o belief_n of_o this_o as_o if_o you_o have_v hear_v christ_n or_o a_o angel_n from_o heaven_n say_v to_o you_o oh_o man_n thou_o be_v haste_v to_o judgement_n qu._n 2._o my_o next_o question_n be_v whether_o you_o do_v ever_o sober_o consider_v of_o this_o great_a day_n sir_n do_v you_o use_v when_o you_o be_v alone_o to_o think_v with_o yourselves_o how_o certain_a and_o how_o dreadful_a it_o will_v be_v how_o fast_o it_o be_v come_v on_o and_o what_o you_o shall_v do_v and_o what_o answer_v you_o mean_v to_o make_v at_o that_o day_n ●are_v your_o mind_n take_v up_o with_o these_o consideration_n tell_v i_o be_v it_o so_o or_o not_o alas_o sir_n be_v this_o a_o matter_n to_o be_v forget_v be_v not_o that_o man_n even_o worse_o than_o mad_a that_o be_v go_v to_o god_n judgement_n and_o never_o think_v of_o it_o when_o if_o they_o be_v to_o be_v try_v for_o their_o life_n at_o the_o next_o assize_n they_o will_v think_v of_o it_o and_o think_v again_o and_o cast_v 100_o time_n which_o way_n to_o escape_v methinks_v you_o shall_v rather_o forget_v to_o go_v to_o bed_n at_o night_n or_o to_o eat_v your_o meat_n or_o do_v your_o work_n then_o forget_v so_o great_a a_o matter_n as_o this_o true_o i_o have_v often_o in_o my_o serious_a thought_n be_v ready_a to_o wonder_v that_o man_n can_v think_v of_o almost_o any_o thing_n else_o when_o they_o have_v so_o great_a a_o thing_n to_o think_v of_o what!_o forget_v that_o which_o you_o must_v remember_v for_o ever_o forget_v that_o which_o shall_v force_v remembrance_n yea_o and_o do_v force_v it_o with_o some_o whether_o they_o will_v or_o not_o a_o poor_a despair_a soul_n can_v forg●t_v it_o he_o think_v which_o way_n ever_o he_o go_v he_o be_v ready_a to_o be_v judge_v oh_o therefore_o belove_v fix_v these_o thought_n as_o deep_a in_o your_o heart_n as_o thought_n can_v go_v oh_o be_v like_o that_o holy_a man_n that_o think_v which_o way_n ever_o he_o go_v he_o hear_v the_o trumpet_n sound_n and_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o angel_n call_v to_o the_o world_n arise_v you_o dead_a and_o come_v to_o judgement_n you_o have_v warning_n of_o it_o from_o god_n and_o man_n to_o cause_v you_o to_o remember_v it_o do_v not_o then_o forget_v it_o it_o will_v be_v a_o cold_a excuse_n another_o day_n lord_n i_o forget_v this_o day_n or_o else_o i_o may_v have_v be_v ready_a you_o dare_v not_o sure_a trust_n to_o sech_v excuse_n qu._n 3._o my_o next_o question_n to_o you_o be_v how_o be_v you_o affect_v with_o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o day_n bare_o to_o think_v of_o it_o will_v not_o serve_v to_o think_v of_o such_o a_o day_n as_o this_o with_o a_o dull_a and_o senseless_a heart_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o fearful_a stupidity_n do_v the_o knee_n of_o king_n belshazzar_n knock_v together_o with_o tremble_v when_o he_o see_v the_o hand-writing_n on_o the_o wall_n dan._n 5._o 6._o how_o then_o shall_v thy_o heart_n be_v affect_v that_o see_v the_o hand-writing_n of_o god_n as_o a_o summons_n to_o his_o bar_n when_o i_o begin_v to_o preach_v of_o these_o thing_n long_o ago_o i_o confess_v the_o matter_n seem_v to_o i_o so_o terrible_a that_o i_o be_v afraid_a that_o people_n will_v have_v run_v out_o of_o their_o wi●s_n with_o fear_n but_o a_o little_a experience_n show_v i_o that_o many_o be_v like_o a_o dog_n that_o be_v breed_v up_o in_o a_o forge_n or_o furnace_n that_o be_v use_v to_o it_o can_v sleep_v though_o the_o hammer_n be_v beat_v and_o the_o fire_n and_o hot_a iron_n flame_v about_o he_o when_o another_o that_o have_v never_o see_v it_o will_v be_v amaze_v at_o the_o sight_n when_o man_n have_v hear_v we_o 7_o year_n together_o yea_o 20_o year_n to_o talk_v of_o a_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o they_o see_v it_o not_o nor_o feel_v any_o hurt_n they_o think_v it_o be_v but_o talk_n and_o begin_v to_o make_v nothing_o of_o it_o this_o be_v their_o thanks_o to_o god_n for_o his_o patience_n because_o his_o sentence_n be_v not_o execute_v speedy_o therefore_o their_o heart_n be_v set_v in_o they_o to_o do_v evil_a eccl._n 8._o 11._o as_o if_o god_n be_v slack_a of_o his_o promise_n as_o some_o man_n account_v slickness_n 2_o pet_n 3._o 9_o when_o one_o day_n with_o he_o be_v as_o a_o 1000_o year_n and_o a_o 1000_o year_n as_o one_o day_n what_o if_o we_o tell_v you_o 20_o year_n together_o that_o you_o must_v die_v will_v you_o not_o believe_v we_o because_o you_o have_v live_v so_o long_o and_o see_v no_o death_n come_v three_o or_o four_o thing_n there_o be_v that_o shall_v bring_v any_o matter_n to_o the_o heart_n 1._o if_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o exceed_a

shall_v your_o heart_n be_v move_v at_o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o great_a day_n 1._o what_o matter_n can_v be_v mention_v with_o the_o tongue_n of_o man_n of_o great_a moment_n for_o the_o poor_a creature_n to_o stand_v before_o his_o maker_n and_o redeemer_n to_o be_v judge_v to_o everlasting_a joy_n or_o torment_n alas_o all_o the_o matter_n of_o this_o world_n be_v play_n and_o toy_n and_o dream_n to_o this_o matter_n of_o profit_n or_o disprofit_v be_v nothing_o to_o it_o matter_n of_o credit_n or_o discredit_n be_v unworthy_a to_o be_v name_v with_o it_o matter_n of_o temporal_a life_n or_o death_n be_v nothing_o to_o it_o we_o see_v the_o poor_a brui●_n beast_n go_v every_o day_n to_o the_o slaughter_n and_o we_o make_v no_o great_a matre●_n of_o it_o though_o their_o life_n be_v as_o deer_n to_o they_o as_o we_o to_o we_o to_o be_v judge_v to_o a_o everlasting_a death_n or_o torment_n this_o be_v the_o great_a danger_n that_o one_o will_v think_v shall_v shake_v the_o stout_a heart_n to_o consider_v it_o and_o awake_v the_o dull_a sinner_n to_o prevent_v it_o 2._o it_o be_v a_o matter_n that_o concern_v every_o one_o of_o yourselves_o and_o every_o man_n or_o woman_n that_o ever_o live_v upon_o the_o earth_n or_o ever_o shall_v do_v i_o be_o not_o speak_v to_o you_o of_o the_o affair_n of_o some_o far_a country_n that_o be_v nothing_o to_o you_o but_o only_o to_o marvel_n at_o which_o you_o never_o see_v nor_o ever_o shall_v do_v no_o it_o be_v thy_o own_o self_n man_n or_o woman_n that_o hear_v i_o this_o day_n that_o shall_v as_o sure_o appear_v before_o the_o judgement-seat_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o lord_n live_v and_o as_o he_o be_v true_a and_o faithful_a and_o that_o be_v as_o sure_a as_o thou_o live_v on_o this_o earth_n or_o as_o the_o

man_n that_o never_o think_v of_o it_o but_o spend_v his_o time_n in_o worldly_a matter_n shall_v leave_v all_o and_o there_o appear_v that_o man_n that_o will_v not_o believe_v these_o thing_n to_o
