A96616	The pathway to eternal life being the last sermon of that eminent divine Mr. T. Williams, B.D., lately deceased.	Williams, T., B.D.	1700 (1700)	Wing W2771A; ESTC R42804	6,539	18

heaping up wrath against the Day of Wrath for our God when he is angry is a consuming Fire nay if his Anger be but a little kindled in his Breast blessed are all they that trust in him and if Sin makes the first Death so uneasie it must necessarily render the second infinitely more intollerable For indeed the Sting of Death is Sin and no Terror is in this State like that which doth redound to us from a guilty Conscience which has got us under hold and will chastise us for though in our Health an● Jollitry we may pass it over lightly yet o● our Sick-Beds when Death stares us ghastly in the Face then the pains of Hell as i● were gets hold on us we are in Troubl● and Heaviness our Souls are as restless and uneasie as our Bodies then as the Prophe● Isaiah says We are like a troubled Sea that cannot rest whose waters cast up dirt and mire and again there is no peace saith my God to the wicked for in such a State when we come to die the greatest Melancholly that shall then seize our Spirits will be from the heavy Load and Burthen of our Sins that will be ready to oppress and sink our Souls Then we shall find that Threatning verifi'd in us Psal 50.21 I will reprove th●e and set them in order before thine Eyes and what Grief or Anguish can be comparable to that which redounds from this when we are going hence and when God by visiting Sickness as his Messenger gives us warning to remove Must it not concern and afflict us beyond all Thought and Expression to consider in such a Case what Danger our Sins have brought us to They hide God's Face and Mercy from us and in our greatest need of Comfort and Support threaten us with utter Ruin and Destruction and nothing now can be so sharp and intollerable as the Thoughts of a displeas'd and angry God and well may that be so to us which was the greatest of our Saviour's Troubles for at his Dying Hour the Guilt of all our Sins pressing heavy upon his Soul occasioned a bitter Agony and that bitter Exclamation viz. My God! My God! Why hast thou forsaken me And most certainly at the Dying Hour of all wicked Men and Women the Sense of Guilt will be the bitterest Potion and the very Dregs of the Cup of trembling their Hearts will faint and their Souls will sink within them it will be with them as with Felix when Baul preached of Judgment to come his Guilt through the fear of it made him tremble They shall shake and fear and cry mightily and have on them such passionate Concernment as is inexpressible from the dismal Apprehensions of the Divine Wrath and Indignation which their Sins have kindled and provoked against them even to cry out with Cain Their Punishment is greater than they can bear Then whilst it is to day Let us hear God's Voice Calling to us to repent Let us be up and doing his Will least the night of Death suddenly overtake us in which no Man can work for in the Grave there is no Repentance as the Tree falls so it lies as Death leaves us so will Judgment find us Which is the next and last thing pursuing my Text I propose to treat on viz. After this the Judgment We have a sure word for it that after Death there is a Judgment I am saith the Lord the Resurrection and the Life he that believeth in me though he were d●ad yet shall he live And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die St. John 11.25 26. And Holy Job says I know that my Redeemer liveth and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the Earth And though after my skin worms destroy this body yet in my fl●sh shall I see God Whom I shall see for my self and mine eyes shall behold and not another Job 19.25 26 27. This plainly proves that after Death the Soul shall descend and unite again with the Body and both at the sound of the last Trump shall arise together to receive their Rewards for the works done in the Flesh whether it be Good or whether it be Evil for St. Paul says 1 Cor. 15.52 53. The trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible and we shall be changed for this corruptible must put on incorruption and this mortal must put on immortality The Earth Sea and Hell shall be compell'd to give up the Dead that are in them ●nd they shall be gathered from the Four Winds under Heaven and be caught up to meet the Lord Coming in the Air accompanied with Ten Thousand Angels to ●udge the Inhabitants of the Earth at whose Presence its Foundations shall tremble and ●t shall be dissolved the Elements shall melt with fervent heat the Stars shall fall ●he Sun be darkned the Moon turned into Blood and the Heavens rowled up togegether like a scrole in that great and terri●le Day when the Book shall be opened wherein all our Actions shall be written ●nd we shall be judged out of it according ●o the things that are written therein then ●appy is it for him who has well improved ●is Talent in this Life he shall enter into ●he Joy of his Lord with Praises and clad ●n shining Robes crowned with Glory and Honour in everlasting Life where all Tears ●hall be wiped away from his Eyes and he ●h●ll see the abundant Recompence of his ●●bour in his Spiritual Warfare for he ●●at is faithful has promised it But those that have been s●oathful and unprofitable Servants shall call in vain to the Rocks and Mountains to fall upon them to hide them from the Face of the Lamb and from the Face of him that sitteth on the Throne but no hiding Place shall shield them from his Wrath and fiery Indignation which shall pursue them to Eterna● Torments upon pronouncing Go ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels where shall be woes and lamentations anguish and gnashing of teeth where the worm never dieth and the fire i● not quenched From which Torments God of his infinite Mercy deliver us all by giving us Hearts for a timely Repentance before we go hence for the sake of his well-beloved Son Jesus Christ who shed his precious Blood that redeemed us from Sin and eternal Death that we might live and reign with him evermore Amen His last Speech or pious Exhortations to his Parishioners on his Death-Bed Exhorting them to a Godly Life AT the Close of this Sermon a faintness seized this good Divine and as he had predicted it proved his last and served as a Comfortable Mourning-Dress for his Funeral for being led home he found his Illness increase and in a Day or two perceiving his Dissolution drew nigh he sent for the chief of his Parishioners who standing about his Bed he made the following Speech or Farewel Exhortation to them My Beloved Parishioners Finding by my Age and more by
