Memorables of the life of faith taken out of Mr. B's sermon preached before…

Q. 7. If Faith be the Eye by which I do see, whereby should I quicken my self to live by it? Or if it be not, wherewithal should I stir up my self to seek Faith and the Life of Faith?

A. Put to thy Heart these questions, frequently and seriously. Q. 1. What should I be, if I saw the Lord continually before me? And that as verily as I ever see a man? If I saw him as Moses saw him, Exod. 34. Or as John saw him, Rev. 1. 13. And in the midst of the seven Candlesticks, one like unto the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. Or as St. Paul saw him, Acts 9. Q. 2. What should I be if I had seen the things that God hath done already in time past? If I had seen the World drowned and the Ark saved; Sodom and Gomorrah burned, and the righteous Lot saved; Pharaoh and his Host swallowed up of the red Sea, and the Israelites saved? And the like memorables of the H. Scripture. Q. 3. What should I be, if I saw the glory of Heaven above? If I were rapt up but into the third Heaven, and had seen what St. Paul saw. If I had seen what St. Stephen saw before his Death. If I had seen Lazarus in Abraham's Bosom? Q. 4. What should I be, if I saw the face of Death, and were under the power of a mortal sickness, and were given over by all Physicians and Friends? Or had a Messenger from God to tell me, I must die to morrow? Q. 5. What should I be if I saw the great and dreadful day of Judgment as Christ doth describe it? Mat. 25. If I saw that fulfilled which St. Paul speaks, 2 Thes. 1. 7, 8, 9 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from Heaven, with his mighty Angels, in flaming fire, taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power. Q. 6. What should I be if I heard Satan accusing me for all my sins unto God, and calling for justice against me? Q. 7. What should I be, if I had seen and did now see the Damned in their miseries? If I heard them cry out of the folly and self-destruction of their careless lives; And wishing one were sent from the dead unto me to warn me that I come not unto their place of torment? Q. 8. What should I be, if in my Temptations unto sin, I saw the Devil the Tempter, and heard him hissing me on to sin, to Swear, Curse, Rail, Lie, Scorn a holy Life? O should I then ever choose to be ungodly, or be patient of so being? Nay,
