Christ's certain and sudden appearance to judgment

10. Come forth all ye unmerciful persons; whose bowels have been shut up against the poor, and ⟨p. 102⟩needy; who have spoken churlishly to the poor, and looked upon them a far off; or if you have spoken to them fair, and said to the naked and destitute of daily food, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and be ye filled; yet have not given unto them things needful for the body, whatever abundance you had by you, who have had no pity on my distressed members, so as to contribute any relief to their necessities; I was hungry, and ye gave me no meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink; I was naked, and ye clothed me not; I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; I was sick, and you visited me not; I was in prison, and ye did not administer unto me. 'Did you not understand it was your duty to relieve the poor? had you not your ricks given to you for this end? was not this the best use you could put them unto? would not works of mercy have brought into you the best returns at last? might you not hereby have laid up for your selves a good foundation against this day? if you had laid out your estates according to my prescriptions, might not you now have laid hold on eternal life? were you never forewarned, that such should have judgment without mercy, that did not show mercy? And you that have had no mercy •; forgive, that knew not how to pass by real, or conjectural injuries, which you have received; th•• were ready to take your brother by the throat for •hundred pence, when you might have been forgiven your ten thousand talents which you owed unto God▪ were ye never told, that the King of Heaven woul• deliver you to the tormentors, if you were unmerciful? Take them Devils, bind them hand and foot.
