This should stir up those that have to deal with the souls of others, 1(not only Ministers, but all others,) that have any committed to them, that they should labour to make them good, to work upon them for the good of their souls, that they may have them as matter, and objects of their joy at that day. If they do not (as I said) when they are presented to them as persons whom they have neglected and betrayed negligently for want of instruction, and reformation of their lives; and as persons whom they have infected with their ill example, which is worse: alas, what matter of horror will they be? They will not say of them as S. Paul saith here, You are my joy, and my crown, and my glory; but they will be matter of horror: these be they that I have betrayed, and neglected, and infected, and brought to hell, to this cursed condition with my self. It will be an increase of the torments of hell at that day, all those whom we have hurt any kind of way.
