Qu. 2.
MY next Question is, Whether you do ever soberly consider of this great day? Sirs, do you use when you are alone to think with your selves▪ how certain and how dreadful it will be? how fast it is coming on? and what you shall do? and what answer you mean to make at that day? are your minds taken up with these considerations? Tell me, is it so, or not?
Alas Sirs! Is this a matter to be forgotten? Is not that man even worse then mad▪ that is going to Gods Judgement and never thinks of it? when if they were to be tried for their lives at the next Assize, they would think of it, and think again, and cast 100 ⟨p. 236⟩times which way to escape. Me thinks you should rather forget to go to bed at night, or to eat your meat, or do your work, then forget so great a matter as this.
