A word to sinners, and a word to saints The former tending to the awakening the consciences of secure sinners, unto a lively sense and apprehension of the dreadful condition they are in, so long as they live in their natural and unregenerate estate. The latter tending to the directing and persuading of the godly and regenerate unto several singular duties. As also a word to householders stirring them up to the good old way of serving God in and with their families, from Joshua's resolution, Josh. 24. 15. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Set forth especially for the use and benefit of the inhabitants of St. Sepulchres Parish, London by Tho. Gouge, late pastor thereof.A word to sinners, and a word to saints The former tending to the awakening the consciences of secure sinners, unto a lively sense and apprehension of the dreadfull condition they are in, so long as they live in their natural and unregenerate estate.

Oh, how terrible will the sight of Jesus Christ as Judge be unto all carnal and impenitent wretches? who when they shall see him sitting upon the Throne, whose gracious invitations they have slighted; whose Ministers and Ambassadors they have wronged and contemned; whose ordinances they have neglected, and whom they have often crucified by their sins: how then will their hearts be appalled with dread and terror? entreating the rocks and mountains to fall on them, 1and hide them from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.
Oh, how terrible will the sight of Jesus Christ as Iudge be unto all carnal and impenitent wretches? who when they shall see him sitting upon the Throne, whose gracious invitations they have slighted; whose Ministers and Ambassadours they have wronged and contemned; whose ordinances they have neglected, and whom they have often crucified by their sins: how then will their hearts be appalled with dread and terrour? entreating the rocks and mountains to fall on them, 1and hide them from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.
A poor believer on that day seeing Christ sitting upon the Throne, may with comfort say, Lo yonder is he who dyed to save me, who shed his blood for my redemption, and rose again for my justification, and is now come to judge both the quick and the dead.
