The application of redemption

but when her throws come, no body can stay them, no body must bear them but her self, and she will be forced to mind, and attend them and her own help, whether she will or no. The fear and dreadful expectation of Gods righteous Judgments deserved and threatened, let them seize upon the sinner, and let him travel under the terror of the Almighty; If God should come and call me to answer, how should I help my self? If the Lord do (as the times are in his own hands) what should I judg or think of my condition? In a sinful and miserable estate I am (I am sure) and how soon the pit may shut her mouth upon me, that I may be past hope and help, I know not; high time therefore to think how to be affected with this, and how to be freed from this damnable condition. If the good man of the house did know the Thief would come, he would certainly watch, he would listen attentively at every stirring, Matth. 24. 43. Fear says the evil will come, and makes a man ever be thinking how to prevent it before it comes. As in a Siege, he that keeps the noise of the Drum, the sound of the Trumpet, the clattering of Spears, the report of the Canon in his ears and fears, he will be kept a waking, and be forced to attend upon his watch, and stand […] his Guard for his life. So do ⟨p. 279⟩thou as the psalmist said, Psal. 9. last Put them in fear O Lord that they may know themselves to be but men. they will know they are sinful and mortal and wretched […] that must come to death and judgment.
