We here live still in our sins;1 though we hear the word daily we never repent of our sins. But if we which be so careless, would consider, that destruction and judgement must come shortly to those which be careless, it would stir us up to repentance if we had any grace. Let these careless men, let these consider, that the hand of God may be on them quickly, take hold on them ere they be aware. Let the young man not run on in his sins,2 lest the Lord come ere he be prepared and provided. For the Lord will come quickly, his judgements they make hast and are not far off, they delay not.
