Three treatises tending to awaken secure sinners

2. Consider, it is a master part of your faith, if you are Christians, and a fundamental Article of your Creed, that Christ shall come again to Judge the quick and the dead. So that you must Believe it, or renounce your Christianity, and then you renounce Christ and all the hopes of mercy that you have in him. Its impossible that you should soundly Believe in Christ, and not believe his Judgement and Life Everlasting; because as he came to bring ⟨p. 292⟩Life and immortality to light in the Gospel, 2 Tim. 1. 10. so it was the end of his Incarnation, Death and Resurrection, to bring you thither; and its part of his honour and office which he purchased with his blood, to be the Lord and Judge of all the world, Rom. 14. 9. Joh. 5. 22. If therefore you believe not heartily this Judgement; deal plainly and openly, and say you are Infidels, and cast away the hypocritical visor of Christianity, and let us know you, and take you as you are.

2. Consider, it is a master part of your faith, if you are Christians, and a fundamental Article of your Creed, that Christ shall come again to Iudge the quick and the dead. So that you must Believe it, or renounce your Christianity, and then you renounce Christ and all the hopes of mercy that you have in him. Its impossible that you should soundly Believe in Christ, and not believe his Iudgement and Life Everlasting; because as he came to bring ⟨p. 292⟩Life and immortality to light in the Gospel, 2 Tim. 1. 10. so it was the end of his Incarnation, Death and Resurrection, to bring you thither; and its part of his honour and office which he purchased with his blood, to be the Lord and Iudge of all the world, Rom. 14. 9. Joh. 5. 22. If therefore you believe not heartily this Iudgement; deal plainly and openly, and say you are Infidels, and cast away the hypocritical vizor of Christianity, and let us know you, and take you as you are.
