these_o word_n then_o of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n i_o may_v well_o conclude_v this_o general_a affertion_n that_o there_o be_v no_o security_n in_o this_o world_n and_o that_o they_o who_o other_o they_o be_v that_o live_v secure_o live_v most_o dangerous_o &_o without_o speedy_a repentance_n be_v like_a to_o be_v onertaken_v in_o their_o sin_n and_o hereafter_o to_o be_v punish_v eternal_o the_o second_o general_a observation_n be_v that_o as_o there_o be_v no_o time_n of_o security_n in_o this_o world_n by_o reason_n we_o be_v to_o expect_v the_o end_n thereof_o every_o day_n so_o be_v there_o nothing_o in_o this_o world_n that_o can_v secure_v we_o us._n no_o earthly_a thing_n that_o can_v secure_v us._n because_o every_o thing_n shall_v have_v a_o end_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v the_o end_n of_o all_o thing_n be_v at_o hand_n no_o trust_n then_o or_o confidence_n to_o be_v set_v then_o in_o any_o worldly_a thing_n sampsons_n strength_n croesus_n riches_n solomon_n glory_n

no_o not_o a_o moment_n of_o time_n oh_o that_o in_o time_n than_o we_o will_v learn_v to_o be_v wise_a and_o put_v no_o confidence_n in_o transitory_a thing_n 9.23.24_o jer._n 9.23.24_o that_o we_o will_v follow_v the_o counsel_n of_o the_o prophet_n jeremie_n let_v not_o the_o wise_a man_n glory_n in_o his_o wisdom_n nor_o the_o strong_a man_n glory_n in_o his_o strength_n neither_o the_o

judgement_n and_o righteousness_n in_o the_o earth_n hence_o be_v it_o that_o saint_n paul_n conclude_v 1.31_o 1._o cor._n 1.31_o let_v he_o that_o glori_v glory_n in_o the_o lord_n and_o he_o that_o

any_o confidence_n in_o man_n it_o be_v better_a to_o trust_v in_o the_o lord_n then_o to_o put_v any_o confidence_n in_o prince_n refuge_n he_o that_o â—rusteth_v in_o god_n have_v â—_o sure_o

day_n of_o his_o wrath_n be_v come_v and_o who_o can_v stand_v so_o that_o this_o be_v the_o brief_a conclusion_n of_o the_o second_o observation_n that_o nothing_o in_o this_o life_n or_o in_o this_o world_n may_v or_o can_v secure_v or_o keep_v we_o from_o the_o danger_n of_o that_o great_a day_n of_o which_o saint_n peter_n forewarn_v we_o but_o only_o our_o trust_n and_o confidence_n in_o god_n which_o the_o faithful_a have_v in_o he_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o christ_n see_v then_o how_o much_o we_o be_v behold_v to_o saint_n peter_n for_o give_v we_o this_o watchword_n the_o end_n of_o all_o
