Death, which is most certain, judgment, which is most strict, hell, which is most dismal; heaven, which is most delightfull. To which is added wholsome instructions both to young and old, in order to prepare themselves for their latter end, and avoid all sinful allurements, which usually obstructs that great and necessary work of salvation. With some necessary directions to die well, in order to avoid hell, and obtain heaven. / By Mr. J. Stevens.	Stevens, Joseph, fl. 1700.	1700 (1700)	Wing S5497B; ESTC R184642	10,619	16

be_v most_o strict_a we_o must_v all_o appear_v before_o the_o judgment-seat_n of_o christ_n they_o who_o have_v be_v graceless_a in_o their_o day_n will_v be_v speechless_a in_o this_o day_n they_o who_o will_v not_o come_v before_o his_o mercy-seat_n shall_v be_v force_v to_o come_v before_o his_o judgment-seat_n those_o that_o will_v not_o believe_v his_o promise_n shall_v tremble_v at_o his_o

be_v a_o terrible_a &_o ghastly_a day_n when_o they_o shall_v behold_v christ_n come_v in_o the_o cloud_n have_v the_o person_n of_o a_o man_n but_o the_o power_n of_o god_n be_v crown_v with_o
