USE, Is our Account ready against that great day of Audit. Most neglect it, put off the thoughts of it. Take occasion hence to reckon with your selves aforehand, and see what an Account you can give to Conscience; we should prepare more for this Solemn day of Reckoning, and therefore should take notice of what we do, and what we receive; we had need keep a Register of every days Work, and every days Mercies.

How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation? Isa. 5.4. What could I have done more for my Vineyard that I have not done in it? Wherefore when I looked for Grapes, behold it brought forth wild Grapes? The Profit of daily arraigning Conscience is great.
