life_n madness_n and_o their_o end_n without_o honour_n but_o now_o how_o be_v it_o that_o they_o be_v count_v among_o the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o that_o their_o provision_n be_v among_o the_o the_o saint_n and_o that_o they_o be_v so_o high_o in_o god_n favour_n therefore_o we_o have_v err_v from_o the_o way_n of_o truth_n and_o the_o light_n of_o righteousness_n have_v not_o shine_v unto_o we_o and_o the_o sun_n of_o understanding_n rise_v not_o upon_o us._n we_o have_v weary_v ourselves_o in_o the_o way_n of_o wickedness_n and_o destruction_n and_o we_o have_v go_v through_o

the_o general_a and_o last_o day_n of_o judgement_n that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o be_v prepare_v unto_o it_o let_v we_o hear_v what_o counsel_n be_v give_v we_o in_o holy_a scripture_n and_o first_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n s_o paul_n may_v take_v place_n and_o seem_v great_o to_o tend_v to_o this_o purpose_n which_o counsel_n we_o read_v 1._o cor._n 11.13_o in_o this_o sort_n if_o we_o will_v judge_v ourselves_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v judge_v and_o this_o profit_n we_o shall_v reap_v thereby_o that_o in_o time_n to_o come_v we_o shall_v not_o be_v conden_v with_o the_o world_n but_o as_o a_o matter_n full_a of_o terror_n and_o pensivenesse_n we_o will_v not_o enter_v into_o so_o deep_a a_o consideration_n nor_o trouble_v our_o conscience_n so_o far_o as_o to_o judge_v ourselves_o or_o to_o fall_v into_o examination_n of_o our_o own_o way_n whereas_o no_o doubt_n if_o we_o shall_v so_o do_v it_o will_v fall_v out_o most_o happy_o on_o our_o side_n for_o if_o upon_o due_a try_v all_o and_o examination_n without_o all_o partiality_n and_o affection_n we_o shall_v pronounce_v sentence_n of_o judgement_n against_o ourselves_o according_a to_o our_o desert_n it_o will_v be_v no_o otherwise_o nor_o no_o better_o than_o condemnation_n and_o yet_o not_o that_o condemnation_n which_o woork_v despair_n but_o such_o a_o condemnation_n whereby_o we_o may_v be_v acquit_v from_o everlasting_a condemnation_n as_o the_o same_o apostle_n write_v to_o the_o corinthian_n 2._o cor._n 7.9_o i_o now_o rejoice_v say_v he_o not_o that_o you_o be_v sorry_a but_o that_o you_o sorrow_v to_o repentance_n for_o you_o sorrow_v godly_a so_o that_o in_o nothing_o you_o be_v hurt_v by_o us._n for_o godly_a sorrow_n cause_v repentance_n unto_o salvation_n not_o to_o be_v repent_v of_o but_o the_o worldly_a sorrow_n cause_v death_n so_o very_o if_o we_o will_v enter_v into_o judgement_n with_o ourselves_o it_o will_v procure_v a_o grief_n and_o sorrow_n but_o such_o a_o sorrow_n especial_o if_o it_o come_v from_o a_o well_o mean_v mind_n that_o shall_v not_o be_v unto_o death_n for_o by_o judge_v of_o ourselves_o we_o shall_v take_v a_o view_n of_o that_o death_n and_o of_o those_o torment_n which_o by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n we_o deserve_v and_o by_o this_o mean_a we_o shall_v be_v drive_v to_o repentance_n and_o to_o seek_v after_o god_n to_o be_v

god_n may_v work_v within_o we_o &_o that_o we_o may_v have_v boldness_n and_o comfort_n in_o that_o day_n but_o if_o we_o walk_v on_o secure_o &_o careless_o and_o will_v not_o once_o vouchsafe_v to_o enter_v into_o judgement_n with_o ourselves_o then_o may_v we_o a_o while_n be_v merry_a in_o this_o world_n but_o our_o mirth_n shall_v hereafter_o be_v turn_v into_o mourning_n as_o the_o wise_a man_n do_v put_v such_o careless_a person_n in_o remembrance_n that_o in_o their_o jollity_n they_o may_v not_o too_o much_o forget_v themselves_o rejoice_v say_v he_o if_o so_o be_v it_o

then_o to_o be_v in_o the_o house_n of_o feast_v and_o forgetfulness_n to_o enjoy_v some_o pleasure_n with_o the_o world_n for_o a_o small_a time_n see_v our_o life_n be_v but_o as_o a_o span_n long_o &_o that_o here_o only_o and_o in_o this_o life_n be_v the_o time_n of_o forgiveness_n that_o we_o may_v be_v pardon_v better_o it_o be_v to_o be_v angry_a with_o ourselves_o then_o to_o please_v ourselves_o in_o such_o sort_n and_o a_o sad_a mind_n be_v a_o mean_a and_o a_o great_a help_n to_o further_a our_o repentance_n and_o how_o shall_v we_o obtain_v so_o godly_a a_o purpose_n as_o to_o be_v set_v free_a from_o god_n heavy_a anger_n which_o we_o have_v most_o just_o deserve_v if_o we_o do_v not_o use_v the_o mean_n which_o tend_v thereunto_o common_o where_o judgement_n be_v there_o

find_v a_o way_n to_o be_v quit_v from_o everlasting_a condemnation_n which_o we_o can_v no_o way_n escape_v if_o in_o this_o life_n we_o do_v not_o judge_v ourselves_o and_o condemn_v ourselves_o by_o true_a repentance_n call_v for_o mercy_n and_o forgiveness_n that_o we_o may_v be_v receive_v into_o god_n favour_n and_o not_o in_o time_n to_o come_v to_o be_v condemn_v with_o the_o world_n for_o in_o so_o judge_v of_o ourselves_o it_o be_v not_o a_o mean_n to_o cause_v we_o to_o despair_v but_o to_o have_v a_o better_a hope_n and_o a_o endure_a and_o a_o rejoice_a comfort_n which_o comfort_n shall_v never_o be_v take_v from_o we_o if_o still_o we_o be_v mindful_a to_o call_v ourselves_o to_o judgement_n and_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o our_o way_n that_o we_o do_v not_o offend_v

because_o our_o conscience_n shall_v assure_v we_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v among_o the_o number_n of_o they_o that_o shall_v be_v condemn_v but_o among_o they_o to_o
