Qu. 4.
MY next Question is, Whether are you ready for this dreadful Judgement when it comes, or not? Seeing it is your selves that must be tried, I▪ think it concerns you to see that you be prepared. How often hath Christ warned us in the Gospel, that we be always ready; because we know not the day or hour of his coming, Mat. 24.44.42. and 25.13. 1 Thes. 5.6. and told us how sad a time it will be to those that are unready, Mat. 25.11, 12. Did men but well know what a meeting and greeting there will be between Christ and an unready soul, it would sure startle them, and make them look about them. What say you Beloved Hearers, are you ready for Judgement, or are you not! Me ⟨p. 247⟩thinks a man that knoweth he shall be Judged, should ask himself the Question every day of his life; Am I ready to give up my Account to God! Do not you use to ask this of your own hearts? unless you be careless whether you be saved or damned, me thinks you should; and ask it seriously.
