Again, Yet a little while.
Againe, Yet a little while.
The apprehension of a judgement just at hand is that which will stir the heart, and work upon it most. Yet a little while, and God will cause the kingdom to cease,1 therefore if ever you repent, repent now, for it is but a little while ere God will cause the kingdom to cease. The apprehension of a sinner to be upon the brink of judgment, when a poor soul shall see him self ready to launch into the infinite ocean of eternal destruction, to lie under the scalding drops of the wrath of the Almighty; this works upon the heart indeed.
