Use. Oh then, knowing the terror of the Lord, we persuade you; Christians! as you would not have Christ to appear as a Ghost to you, terrible at the day of death, terrible at the day of judgement: let him not appear as a Ghost to you now. *Let him not appear terrible to you in his word, in his worship, in his laws, in his truth. If Christ be a terror to you now in these ways, assure your selves he will be a terror to you hereafter. Be willing then to receive Christ in his truth, in his worship, ways, &c. Bid him welcome in your houses, your hearts: if Christ be not a terror to you now, if you can brook with strict and exact walking, if you can brook the power and purity of his ordinances, he will never be a terror to you hereafter.
