all the glorie of man as the flower of gras the grasse withereth and the flower thereof falleth away Psal 62. 9. Surely men of low degree are vanitie and men of high degree are a lie to be laid in the ballance they are altogether lighter then vanitie 39. 5. Verily euery man at his best state is altogether vanitie The end of the world 3. Math. 24. AS Iesus sate vpon the Mount of Oliues the disciples came vnto him priuately saying tell vs what shall bee the signe of thy comming and of the end of the world 4. And Iesus answered and said vnto them Take heede that no man deceiue you 5. For many shall come in my name saying I am Christ and shall deceiue many 6. And yee shall heare of warres and rumors of warres See that yee bee not troubled for all these things must come to passe but the end is not yet Math 24. 7. For nation shall rise against nation and kingdome against kingdome and there shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in diuers places 8. All these are but the beginning of sorrowes 9. Then shall they deliuer you vp to be afflicted and shall kill you and yee shall bee hated of all Nations for my names sake 10. And they shall many be offended and shall betray one another and shall hate one another 11. And many false prophets shall arise and shall deceiue many 12. And because iniquitie shall abound the loue of many shall waxe cold 13. But hee that shall endure vnto the end shall be saued 14. And this Gospell of the Kingdome shall be preached in all the world for a witnesse vnto all Nations and then shall the end come 21. Then shall be great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time no not euer shall bee Mat. 24. 22. And except those dayes should bee shortned there should no flesh bee saued but for the elects sake those dayes shall bee shortned 24. There shall arise false christs and false prophets and shal shew great signes and wonders in so much that if it were possible they shall deceiue the very elect 2. Tim. 3. 1. This know also that in the last dayes perilous times shall come 2. For men shall bee louers of their owne selues couetous boasters proud blasphemers disobedient to Parents vnthankefull vnholy 3. Without naturall affection truce-breakers false accusers incontinent fierce despisers of those that are good 4. Traytors heady high minded louers of pleasures more then louers of God 5. Hauing a forme of godlinesse but denying the power thereof from such turne away 6. For of this sort are they which creepe into houses and leade captiue silly women ladē with sins led away with diuers lusts 7. Euer learning and neuer able to come to the knowledge of the truth 2. Tim. 3. 8. Now as Iannes Iambres withstood Moses so do these also resist the truth men of corrupt mindes reprobate concerning faith 9. But they shall proceede no further for their folly shall bee manifested vnto all men as theirs also was Luke 21. 25. And there shall be signes in the Sunne and in the Moone and in the starres and vpon the earth distresse of nations with perplexitie the sea and the waters shall roare 26. Mens heart fayling them for feare and for looking after those things which are comming on the earth for the powers of heauen shal be shaken 27. And then shall they see the sonne of man comming in a cloude with power and great glory 28. And when these things shall begin to come to passe then looke vp and lift vp your heads for your redemption draweth nigh 13. Mar. 13. But of that day and houre knoweth no man not the Angels in heauen nor the son but the father Luke 21. 36. Watch yee therefore and pray alwayes that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to passe and to stand before the sonne of man 1. Thes 4. 15. For this we say vnto you by the word of the Lord that wee which are aliue and remaine vnto the comming of the Lord shall not preuent them which are asleepe 16. For the Lord himselfe shall descend from heauen with a shoute with the voice of the Archangel and with the trumpe of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first 17. Then we which are aliue and remaine shall bee caught vp together with them in the clouds to meete the Lord in the aire and so shall we euer be with the Lord. The Iudgement 27. Heb. 9. IT is appointed vnto all men to die but after this the Iudgement 7. Eccles. 12. The dust shall returne to the earth as it was and the spirit shall returne to God who gaue it 1. 2. Cor. 5. Wee know if our earthly house of this Tabernacle were dissolued we haue a building of God a house not made with hand eternall in the heauens Rom. 8. 10. The bodie is dead because of sinne but the spirit is life because of righteousnesse Gal. 6. 8. He that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reape corruption but hee that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reape life euerlasting Iohn 5. 24. He that heareth my Word and beleeueth on him that sent me hath euerlasting life and shall not come into condemnation but is passed from death vnto life 18. Psal 37. The Lord knoweth the daies of the vpright and their inheritance shall be for euer 20. But the wicked shall perish and the enemies of the Lord shall bee as the fat of lambes they shall consume into smoke shall they consume away 23. Rom. 6. The wages of sinne is death but the gift of GOD is eternall life thorough Iesus Christ our Lord. 22. The begger died Luke 16 and was carried by the Angels into Abrahams bosome the rich man also died and was buried 23. And in hell hee lift vp his eyes being in torments and seeth Abraham afarre off and Lazarus in his bosome 24. And he cryed and said father Abraham haue mercie on me and send Lazarus that hee may dip the tip of his finger in water and coole my tongue for I am tormented in this flame 25. But Abraham said sonne remember that thou in thy life time receiuedst thy good things and likewise Lazarus euill things but now he is comforted and thou art tormented 13. Wide is the gate Mat. 7. and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction and many there be which goe in thereat 14. Straite is the gate and narrow is the way which leadeth vnto life and few there bee that finde it 28. Iohn 15. The houre is comming in the which all that are in the graues shall heare his voice 29. And shall come forth they that haue done good vnto the resurrectiō of life and they that haue done euill vnto the resurrection of damnation Mat 25. 46. These shall
of me 20. Likewise also the cup after supper saying this cup is the new Testament in my blood which is shed for you 16. 1. Co. 10. The cup of blessing which wee blesse is it not the Communion of the blood of CHRIST The bread which we breake is it not the Communion of the body of Christ 17. For we being many are one bread and one body for we are all partakers of that one bread 23. The Lord Iesus the same night in which hee was betraied tooke bread 24. And when hee had giuen thankes he brake it and said take eate this is my body which is broken for you this doe in remembrance of mee Cor. 11. 25. After the same manner also hee tooke the cup when he had supped saying this cup is the new Testament in my blood this doe as oft as ye drinke it in remembrance of me 26. For as often as yee eate this bread and drinke this cup yee doe shew the Lords death till he come 27. Wherefore who soeuer shall eate this bread and drinke this cup of the Lord vnworthily shall bee guiltie of the body and bloud of the Lord. 28. But let a man examine himselfe and so let him eate of that bread and drinke of that cup. 29. For he that eateth and drinketh vnworthily eateth and drinketh damnation to himselfe not discerning the Lords body 3. Cor. 10. Our fathers did all eate the same spirituall meate 4. And did all drinke the same spirituall drinke for they dranke of that spirituall rocke that followed them and that rocke was Christ 35. Iesus said Ioh. 6 I am the bread of life he that commeth to mee shall neuer hunger and he that beleeueth on me shall neuer thirst 51. I am the liuing bread which came downe from heauen If any man eate of this bread he shall liue for euer and the bread that I will giue is my flesh which I will giue for the life of the world 56. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood dwelleth in me and I in him 58. Not as your fathers did eate Manna and are dead he that eateth of this bread shall liue for euer 63. Iohn 6. It is the spirit that quickeneth the flesh profiteth nothing the words that I speake vnto you they are spirit and they are life 28. 16. I came forth from the father and am come into the world againe I leaue the world and go to my father 7. It is expedient for you that I goe away for if I goe not away the comforter will not come vnto you but if I depart I will send him vnto you 2. 14. I goe to prepare a place for you 3. And if I goe and prepare a place for you I will come againe and receiue you vnto my selfe that where I am there yee may be also Mat. 26. 29. I will not drinke henceforth of this fruite of the vine vntill that day when I drinke it new with you in my fathers kingdome Mar. 16. 19. After the Lord had spoken to them hee was receiued vp into heauen and sate on the right hand of God Heb. 10. 13. From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstoole 14. For by one offering he hath perfected for euer them that are sanctified 1. Col. 3. If yee bee risen with Christ seeke those things which are aboue where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God 20. Phil. 3. Our conuersation is in heauen from whence also we looke for the Sauiour the Lord Iesus Christ 21. Acts 3. Whom the heauen must receiue vntill the times of restitution of all things which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy Prophets since the world began The happinesse of Gods seruants Psal 37. 37. MArke the perfect man and behold the vpright for the end of that man is peace 92. 12. The righteous shall flourish like the Palme tree he shall grow like a Cedar in Lebanon Hosea 14. 6. His branches shall spread and his beautie shall be as the Oliue tree and his smell as Lebanon Psal 92. 13. Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the Courts of our God 14. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age they shall bee fat and flourishing 23. 37. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord and he delighteth in his way 24. Though he fall he shall not vtterly bee cast downe for the Lord vpholdeth him with his hand 12. 25. What man is hee that feareth the Lord him shall hee reach in the way that he shall choose 13. His soule shall dwell at ease and his seed shall inherit the earth 14. The secret of the Lord is with them that feare him and hee will shew them his couenant â—sal 103. 17. The mercy of the Lord is from euerlasting to euerlasting vpon them that feare him and his righteousnesse vnto childrens children 18. To such as keepe his couenant and to those that remember his commandements to do them 65. 4. Blessed is the man whom thou choosest and causest to approach vnto thee that he may dwell in thy courts he shall be satisfied with the goodnesse of thy house euen of thy holy Temple The vanitie of the world 15. LOue not the world 1. Iohn 2. neither the things that are in the world if any man loue the world the loue of the father is not in him 16. For all that is in the world the lust of the flesh the lust of the eyes and the pride of life is not of the Father but is of the world 17. And the world passeth away and the lust thereof but hee that doth the will of God abideth for euer Eccles 1. 14. I haue seene all the workes that are done vnder the Sun and behold all is vanitie and vexation of spirit Col. 3. 2. Set your affection on things aboue not on things on the earth Iames 4. 4.

That which is highly esteemed amongst men is abomination in the sight of God 14. What is your life Iames. 4. It is euen a vapor that appeareth for a little time and then vanisheth away 4. Psal 144. Man is like to vanitie his dayes are as a shadow that passeth away 15. 103. His dayes are as grasse as a flower of the field so he florisheth 16. For the winde passeth ouer it and it is gon and the place thereof shall know it no more 2. Iob 14. He coÌ„meth forth like a flower and is cut downe he flieth also as a shadow and continueth not 1. Pet. 1. 24. For all flesh is as grasse and

And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Vzzah and God smote him there for his error and there he died by the Arke of God 19. 1. Sam. 6. And hee smote the men of Beth-shemesh because they had looked into the Arke of the Lord euē hee smote of the people threescore thousand and threescore and ten men 30. Math. 25.
