have_v no_o such_o dump_n to_o daunt_v his_o mind_n and_o to_o hinder_v he_o from_o his_o vain_a pleasure_n although_o then_o and_o at_o that_o time_n he_o be_v full_a deep_o touch_v in_o conscience_n

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 good_a neither_o think_v of_o judgement_n nor_o what_o shall_v befall_v we_o be_v great_o dote_v upon_o the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n which_o at_o the_o last_o shall_v vanish_v and_o in_o time_n to_o come_v shall_v have_v a_o bitter_a reward_n whereas_o if_o we_o forethink_v with_o ourselves_o of_o these_o heavy_a matter_n &_o of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n which_o shall_v be_v perceive_v by_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 forgo_v ourselves_o that_o be_v deny_v our_o naughty_a desire_n &_o sin_n and_o pleasure_n that_o so_o god_n wrath_n may_v be_v diminish_v towards_o we_o and_o that_o he_o may_v not_o enter_v into_o judgement_n with_o us._n as_o say_v the_o prophet_n ps_n 90.11_o who_o regard_v the_o power_n of_o thy_o wrath_n for_o even_o as_o a_o man_n fear_v so_o be_v thy_o displeasure_n wicked_a how_o the_o

delay_v this_o day_n of_o judgement_n one_o be_v that_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n shall_v not_o come_v until_o the_o number_n of_o the_o elect_v be_v fulfil_v as_o we_o may_v read_v reu._n 7.2_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 power_n be_v give_v to_o hurt_v the_o earth_n and_o the_o sea_n say_v hurt_v you_o not_o the_o earth_n neither_o the_o sea_n neither_o the_o tree_n till_o we_o have_v seal_v the_o servant_n of_o our_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 suppress_v and_o bury_v within_o themselves_o if_o it_o may_v be_v the_o inward_a feel_n &_o knowledge_n of_o the_o same_o &_o that_o to_o their_o great_a hurt_n shall_v not_o escape_v that_o heavy_a vengeance_n of_o god_n though_o yet_o they_o be_v forbear_v also_o that_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o godly_a be_v not_o trouble_v although_o they_o do_v not_o present_o see_v that_o god_n do_v exercise_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 the_o remembrance_n of_o the_o judgement_n day_n prevail_v with_o we_o but_o that_o we_o be_v careless_o persuade_v that_o it_o be_v far_o hence_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v never_o see_v it_o nay_o 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

24.31_o in_o the_o parrable_n of_o the_o seed_n it_o be_v set_v down_o math._n 13.30_o that_o when_o harvest_n come_v the_o reaper_n shall_v gather_v the_o tare_n and_o bind_v they_o in_o sheaf_n to_o

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
