sleep not in sin lest the sleep of death surprize thee the hour is certain in nothing but uncertainties For sure thou must die yet thou knowest not on what day nor in what place nor how thou shalt be disposed when death must be entertained O Lord how many thousand Bills of Mortality have passed over our heads and we little or nothing regard them who knows but some of us may fill up the next weeks account and be forc'd to render up our accounts before the Just Judg of all the Earth of all our deeds done in the flesh whether they be good or evil He that once thought to begin to take his ease was fain that very night whether he would or no to make his end would you have thought this He but now flourished like a green bay tree his thoughts full of mirth his soul of ease but I passed by and lo he was goue Gone whither his body to the grave his soul to hell whose turn may be next God only knows who knoweth all But whosoever we be that go on in a course of sin in the name of God let us seriously bethink our selves of Mortality how many have we heard of that went well to bed over night for ought any man could tell and yet have been found dead the next moâ—ning O help us to repent of all our sins by crying and sighing and sorrowing for sin It may be this night and that is not long to come but we may sleep our last in this world O keep us that we go not to bed with a conscience laden with sin O how should we take any rest or sleep with the brother of death when we lie down in danger of eternal death O there is no more but a breath one breath and no more no more but a step one step and no more Oh were not this lamentable that some One of us who are standing or sitting here should this night sleep his last and to morrow have his body carried to his Grave yea and before to morrow morning which the good Lord in mercy forbid have his soul cast from a bed of Feathers into a bed of Fire And yet alas alas if any of us should die this night in our sins or in an unregenerated state thus will it be with whomsoever we be To morrow may our bodies be cold under earth and our souls frying in the flames of hell 'T is good for us all to expect death every day and by this means death foreseen cannot possibly be sudden No 't is he dies suddenly that dies unpreparedly Watch therefore saith our Saviour be ever in a readiness and as we tender the everlasting wellfare of our poor souls let us learn that Lesson of our blessed Saviour not to lay up for our selves treasures on earth where Moth and Rust doth corrupt and where Thieves break through and steal but lay up for our selves treasure in heaven where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt and where Thieves do not break thro' and steal it is those treasures those stocks of grace that will last us for ever which is a circumspect walking that Fervency of spirit that Zeal of good works that purity of conscience St. John speaketh of which is the property of every true hearted profeâ—sor It is the work the life the power of that prayer that the rest of our life hereafter may be pure and holy O that we could lay up such heavenly provision against the day of caamity if while it is called to day we could make our peace with our peace with our heavenly Father by an humble exercise of repentance If in this time of grace we could purchase Gods Favour and those rarest Jewels of Faith and a good conscience if now before we come to appear at that dreadful Tribunal that we could be so happy as to make God and Christ our Friends in the Court of Heaven O how wellcom and how blessed then would our death be unto us come it never so suddenly still should death find us ready and if ready no matter how suddenly yea tho it were this night Oh help us seriously to consider what Jesus Christ did and suffered for us and for our sins O how was he sorrowful even unto death with exceeding sorrow which made him pray that the cup might pass from him yet with submission to his Fathers will and all to save our poor lost and undone souls O the riches and love and the free grace of Jesus Christ to us Oh the earnestness of his prayers and the agony he was in not drops of water only but his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground O how was he buffeted spit on reviled mocked and scourged sor our sins Oh how was the chastisement of our sins laid upon him and by his stripes are we healed And dear Father do thou be graciously pleased to keep up in us an humble remembrance of this abundant love wherewith the Lord Jesus Christ hath bound us he was crowned with Thorns for our sins that we through his merits might be crown'd with glory in the Kingdom of Heaven O unspeakable love how were his tender hands and feet nailed to the Cross his holy unspotted breast peirced with a spear and his dearest hearts blood let forth and all to save our poor souls from the pit of eternal destruction O let us consider the great necessity we are in in not looking unto this Jesus we have need of Christ we have need that he pray in us and need that he pray for us unto our heavenly Father we have need that he work in us and need that he work for us of his plessed will and pleasure We have need that he present us and ours blameless before his Fathers presence in life and death and at the Judgment day O Lord there is not a moment in our lives wherein we stand not in continual need of Jesus Christ O then let our necessities drive us to Christ and mind us of Christ And as it hath been our great misery in departing from God dear Father we beseech thee to cause us now to lay out all our strength by the blessed assistance of thy holy spirit of grace to the uttermost of our power to gain a reconciliation with God to close with him on his own terms propounded to us in the Gospel And dear Father be pleased to raise up in us a love and a delight in the keeping holy thy Sabbaths here on earth that so we may be fitted and prepared to keep an ever lasting Sabbath with thee in Heaven Dear Lord pardon cleanse purge O purifie and make new our inward man by thine Almighty power subdue our corruptions and renew our Natures and bring us near unto thy self by the gracious workings of thy blessed spirit O forget not thy loving kindnesses of old but reach O reach our souls by the blessed spirit of thy grace O let us feel the power of thy
spiritual and Gospel meltings upon our souls O cause us to feel the warming and the reviving blood of the everlasting covenant working effectually upon our poor dead hearts and consciences And dear Father do thou be pleased to rescue us from our selves deliver us we humbly pray thâ—â— from a vain trisling spirit in the things of Eternity O make us captives of thy love and then shall we follow hard and close after thee the Captain of our salvation The Lord in much mercy waits on us continually to be gracious unto us and shall not we wait on him to be made glorious for ever Dear Father we humbly pray thee to be pleased to soften our rebellious hard hearts by the gracious meltings of thy holy spirit that so we may be fitted to receive thy truths and bring forth the fruits of them in a most holy and a most heavenly conversation O for Christ Jesus sake make bare thy own arm and deliver our poor distressed souls from that bottomless pit of eternal destruction O strengthen our Memories increase our faith kindle our zeal renew our Natures and make us such as thou wouldst have us to be best at heart and best at last for Christ's sake O rectifie our wills enlighten our understandings and subdue every lust within us and cause us to run the ways of thy commandments Dear Father we beseech thee we humbly beseech thee to make us more serious and more sincere â—n the things of Eternity that we may not trifle â—n those things of so high a nature wherein our â—oor immortal souls are so nearly concerned Good Lord in much mercy be graciously pleased â—o carry on thy own work in us and for us to he honour and glory of thy name and for the eternal welfare of our poor distressed souls O for Christ Jesus sake open blind eyes soften our hard hearts unstop our deaf ears subdue our rebellious wills and renew our corrupt natures and bring us into a conformity and an humble subjection unto thy blessed self O when shall it once be that we may with our blessed Lord and Saviour count it our Meat and our Drink to do thy will O God O for Christs sake cast an eye of pity and compassion upon ns shew us the favour of thy chosen make us glad with thy inheritance and visit us with thy salvation Good Lord we beseech thee to enable us to lay fast and sure hold on him on whom thou hast been graciously pleased to lay help And dear Father we humbly pray thee to be pleased to raise us up from the death of sin to a life of righteousness And we humbly beseech thee to let us feel the power of Christ's Death killing sin in our mortal bodies that we may no longer obey it in the lust thereof Dear Father we beseech thee to be graciously pleased in mercy to blot out all our sins by the precious blood of thy dearly beloved Son that so our names may not be blotted out of the book of life and we for ever thrust out from thy presence out of the holy City of our God And for Christ Jesus sake make us faithful to the death and then give unto us a Crown of Life And dear Father do thou be pleased to rouze up our drowsie dull consciences and help us we beseech thee seriously to look into our inward man knowing that it is high time to awake out of sleep the time is far spent the day is at hand let us therefore cast off the works of darkness and let us put on the armour of light leâ— us walk honestly as in the day not in rioting and drunkenness not in chambering and wantonness not in strife and envying but put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh to fullfil the lust thereof O Lord our God thou hast promised to keep him in perfect peace whose mind is staid on thee O help us we beseech thee help us to trust in thee and sincerely to wait on thee that so we may be brought into the possession of this peace that lasts for ever O help us seriously to look up unto thee for thou art the Lord our God and there is none else so shall we be saved with an everlasting salvatâ—on And dear Father we humbly intreat thee to make us to be zealously affected for the honour of thy great name and then seal unto us thy everlasting covenant of life and peace Then shall we greatly rejoice in the Lord and our souls shall be joyful in our God for he will cloath us with the garments of salvation and will cover us with his robes of righteousness then shall we be drawn with his loving kindness and mercy and loved by our dear Lord with an everlasting love And we humbly intreat thee to prepare us for that great day of our Lord Jesus Christ when he shall come to shake terribly the Earth O blessed and happy aâ—e they who put their whole ttust and confidence in him and sincerely hope in his mercy O Lord we are upon the very brink of an endless eternity and it will not be long e're we shall be in another world as certainly as we are now in this O help us now help us dear Lord that whatsoever our hands find to do to do it with all our might for there is no wisdom nor knowledge nor work nor device in the grave whither we are all a going Dear Lord we humbly beg thy pardon we have none to fly unto but unto thee thou hast the words of Eternal Life O! for Christ Jesus sake forgive all our Transgressions and in Mercy heal all our Back-slidings and dear Father as ever thou intendest mercy unto our poor souls work a thorough change upon our hearts consciences and save us by believing O for ever blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled that fadeth not away
