unquestionable_a undoubted_a truth_n that_o for_o all_o these_o thing_n god_n will_v bring_v thou_o to_o judgement_n 2._o consider_v that_o this_o judgement_n be_v near_o at_o hand_n and_o will_v

will_v be_v intolerable_o dreadful_a to_o unprepared_a sinner_n whether_o young_a or_o old_a 1._o consider_v that_o notwithstanding_o your_o present_a mirth_n and_o jollity_n yet_o this_o final_a

of_o a_o irony_n and_o so_o in_o mockery_n and_o derision_n bid_v the_o young_a man_n rejoice_v we_o may_v take_v notice_n that_o sinful_a mirth_n and_o sensual_a pleasure_n be_v no_o real_a and_o substantial_a joy_n fit_a for_o a_o wise_a man_n to_o choose_v it_o have_v but_o the_o appearance_n and_o the_o name_n of_o joy_n for_o what_o be_v true_o so_o be_v nowhere_o to_o be_v have_v without_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o the_o faithful_a keep_n of_o his_o commandment_n 2._o in_o that_o he_o direct_v his_o discourse_n to_o the_o young_a man_n in_o particular_a we_o have_v a_o plain_a intimation_n that_o young_a person_n of_o all_o other_o be_v most_o apt_a to_o lay_v aside_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o forget_v their_o creator_n through_o the_o temptation_n of_o sensual_a pleasure_n and_o youthful_a lust_n 3._o because_o he_o tell_v the_o young_a man_n that_o even_o he_o must_v come_v to_o judgement_n as_o a_o argument_n most_o proper_a to_o damp_n his_o carnal_a mirth_n and_o jollity_n and_o put_v a_o check_n to_o his_o pursuit_n of_o youthful_a lust_n we_o may_v hence_o observe_v in_o what_o respect_v the_o consideration_n of_o a_o future_a judgement_n have_v any_o force_n of_o argument_n to_o persuade_v young_a person_n to_o stop_v in_o their_o course_n of_o sin_n and_o to_o remember_v their_o creator_n in_o the_o day_n of_o their_o youth_n as_o to_o the_o first_o i_o shall_v divide_v it_o into_o two_o branch_n and_o so_o consider_v 1._o that_o the_o carnal_a mirth_n of_o sinner_n have_v but_o the_o appearance_n and_o name_n of_o joy_n be_v express_v by_o a_o irony_n while_o on_o the_o contrary_a they_o meet_v with_o trouble_n and_o sorrow_n and_o dissatisfaction_n in_o pursuit_n of_o their_o lust_n 2._o that_o the_o life_n of_o a_o serious_a christian_a in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o the_o keep_n of_o his_o commandment_n be_v the_o only_a cheerful_a and_o merry_a life_n one_a that_o sinful_a mirth_n and_o sensual_a pleasure_n have_v but_o the_o appearance_n and_o name_n of_o joy_n doubtless_o the_o thought_n of_o joy_n carry_v argument_n with_o it_o to_o allure_v as_o that_o of_o sorrow_n to_o dissuade_v on_o which_o account_n we_o be_v common_o averse_a to_o serious_a practical_a religion_n in_o our_o young_a year_n as_o suppose_v it_o will_v interfere_v with_o all_o the_o pleasure_n of_o human_a life_n and_o doom_n we_o to_o a_o perpetual_a mourn_a melancholic_a state_n whereas_o the_o irony_n in_o the_o text_n may_v let_v we_o know_v that_o while_o we_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n and_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o our_o eye_n we_o deceive_v ourselves_o with_o the_o shadow_n of_o joy_n and_o the_o name_n of_o mirth_n it_o be_v true_a he_o bid_v the_o young_a man_n here_o
