Sermons upon death and eternal judgment

Let us appeal then from the light depraved Fancies of carnal Men, to the wise and faithful Judgment, and Authority of the Son of God. He will at the last Day in the presence of his Father and all the Court of Heaven, give an incomparable Crown to all that have despised Shame for his sake. But those vile Spirits, whose Courage of Straw is quelled by ⟨p. 158⟩vain opinion, and the reproaches of Fools, and have deserted the Cause of Christ, shall then be clothed with Confusion; for this we are assured by our Judge, that whosoever shall be ashamed of me and my words, ¹in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him also shall the Son of Man be ashamed when he cometh in the glory of his Father, with the holy Angels. If the unnatural Brothers were astonished when the Governor of Egypt told them, I am Joseph whom ye sold, how much more will false Christians, when the Lord of Glory shall tell them, I am Jesus whom for base shame ye denied? How will it confound those abject Wretches to be a spectacle of abhorrence and scorn before that Universal Glorious Confluence? They would choose rather to be covered under the ruins of the World. If we value ⟨p. 159⟩and desire the approbation of the King of Angels, if we fear a final rejection from him, to obtain the one, and avoid the other, we must entirely adhere to his Interest, without any respect to the eyes and esteem of the perverse deceived World.
