The hour is coming in which all that are in their Graves shall hear his Voyce and shall come forth they that have done good to the Resurrection of Life and they that have done evil to the Resurrection of damnation Rom. 14.9.12 So every one of us shall give account of himself to God It is as sure as the Word of the Living God can make it and dare you doubt of the truth of it Oh then confirm your souls in the beliefe of this as if you had heard Christ or an Angel from Heaven say to you Oh man thou art hasting to Iudgment 2. Examine your souls and ask this Question whether you do soberly consider of this great Day and are seriously affected with the consideration of it Oh souls do you when you are alone use to think how certain and how dreadful it will be and how fast its coming on and what answer you shall make at that Day Alass Sirs is this a matter to be forgotten nay are you not worse than mad when you are going to Gods Iudgment and never think of i Let these words be often in your thoughts Arise ye dead and come to Judgement you have warning of it from God and man for the Lords sake dont forget it Some men may have heard of this Day by the Ministry of the Word 20. 30. 40 years together and the Preacher hath told them it was at hand now to talk of a day of Iudgment and they all this while sée it not nor féel any hurt by it they think it is but talk and so make nothing of it and this is all the thanks they give to God for his patience long suffering because entence is not spéedily executed therefore their hearts are set in them to do evil 3. You who are not ready or in a condition whereby you may be safe at that day I would ask this Question How you are resolved to prepare for Iudgment for the time to come will you do no more than you have done hitherto or will you set your selves with all your might to make preparation for so great a Day Oh that I could hear you say Lord direct us what to do Oh that there were such hearts in you that you were truly willing to serve the Lord. If ever you would look the Lord Iesus Christ in the face with comfort at the hour of death or day of Iudgment make ready and make it the businesse of your lives to provide for everlasting 4 Question Did you ever set upon your hearts the dreadful evil and mighty weight of sin and the misery which it will bring souls to and didst ever sée the néed of a Deliverer if not dreadful will be the day of Iudgment to your souls better for you you had never béen born for a soul to appear in the presence of God cloathed with the ugly garments of sin and sorrow and there to sée him to sit as Iudge to condemn him for ever to eternal darknesse who would have béen thy Lord and Saviour thy Deliverer and Redéemer who would have Redéemed thée from eternal Death and saved thée to a better Life Oh this will mightily astonish thée 2 Vse Is for terrour and astonishment The execution of this Iudgment is so Certain that nothing is more Certain no sooner is the dreadful Sentence past upon sinners but away they must be gone There is no delay much lesse any Reprieve to be expected nor no hope of escape if the Iudge once say take him Iaylor so if Christ once say Take him Devil You that ruled and deceived him now torment him Oh soul after this all the World cannot rescue you it will be in vain to look about for help Alas there is none but Christ can help and he will not because you refused his help It will be in vain now to cry to the Hills to fall on you and the Mountains to cover you from the presence of him that sits on the Throne It will be in vain now to Repent and wish you had not slighted your salvation nor solo it for a little pleasure to your flesh It will be in vain to cry Lord Lord open to us Oh spare us Oh pity us Oh do not cast us into these hideous flames do not turn us among Devils do not torment us in these hideous flames Consider how fearful the case of that man will be that is newly doomed to the everlasting fire that is haled to the Execution without Remedy Oh then what mad men are they who doe nothing to prevent such a misery The Time was when Repentance would have done thée good but then all thy Repentings will be in vain while the day of thy Visitation lasteth hadst thou but a heart to pray and Cry for mercy in Faith and fervency through Christ thou mightst be saved but then Prayers and Crying will do no good shouldst thou roar out in the extremity of thy horror and amazement and beséech but the Lord Iesus to forgive thée but one sin or to send thée on earth once more to try how thou wouldst Live all would be in vain do not Wonder or Think such that Christ will not then be entreated by thée you shall then have a Remember from Christ or a Conscience he will soon stop thy mouth and leave thée spéechlesse and say Remember I did one day send thée a Message of Peace and thou wouldst not hear it I did once stoop to beséech thée to ●●rn and thou wouldst not stoop I besought thée by the tender mercies of God and all would not do yea by my holy Life and my cursed Death by the Riches of my Grace by the Offers of my Glory yet I could not get thée to forsake the World the Flesh or one beloved sin I bid thée return and live but now 't is too late my sentence is past and cannot be recalled Away from me thou worker of Iniquity Oh how can wée without trembling of heart once think of the condition that such forlorn Wretches will be in when they
