4. A fourth time is, the time of death: For though sin and a sinner really meet in all their course of life, yet sense of sin and a sinner do not always meet until the day of death; for death is a strict and unavoidable summons to give up our accounts, and then the unjust steward must look about him, how he shall answer his most just Lord and Master.

This time of meeting, evidently manifests it self to our own experience; who though we have kindled our sins in the time of our health and strength, yet have we not met with the flashes of them but in the times of sickness and weakness.

5. A last time of meeting is, the day of Judgement; and this is a most certain and infallible ⟨p. 316⟩time; It is possible for a man to escape the legal meeting, by conviction; and the miserable meeting, by afflictions, judgements, and death it self; (for some die like Nabal, they live wretchedly, and die senslesly) but at the day of Judgement, they and their sins must meet, and shall; because then the secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed, and Gods righteous judgement shall be evident to the hearts of all the world. Whence it is, that in this day of meeting, they shall cry unto the mountains to fall on them, and the rocks to hide them (but in vain) from the wrath of him who sits upon the throne.
