2. As death puts an end to a sinners mirth, so it lays a foundation for all his sorrow: Alas, before death begins to close a sinners eyes, the eye of his conscience is first opened, every sin at the hour of death, stands with its drawn sword in its hand: those sins that did in life delight him, now they affright and terrify him, all his joy and mirth turns into sadness: as sometimes you have seen Sugar lying in a damp place, it doth dissolve and run to water: thus all the Sugar-joys of a wicked man at the hour of death turns into water, into the water of tears, into the water of sorrow.

3. It shall be ill with the wicked man at the day of Judgement, when he is seated before Gods Tribunal, then he shall leave judging of others, and shall stand at Gods Bar, and be tried for his life.

I read concerning Felix, when he heard Paul speak of Judgement, that Felix trembled. Josephus observes, that Felix he was a wicked man, and she that lived with him, her name was Drusilla, whom he enticed from her Husband, and lived in uncleanness with her: now when Felix heard Paul preaching of Judgement, trembled. Now if he trembled to hear of Judgement, what will he do when Judgement comes? when all his secret sins shall be made manifest, all his Midnight wickedness shall be written on his fore-head, as with a point of a Diamond? At the day of Judgement shall be these two things.
