Christ at the day of Judgment will convict the whole ungodly World, especially those who have lived under the sound of the Gospel; their crimes will be made manifest and evident, and every mouth will be stopped, when they are found guilty before him, and they cannot deny it: then the wicked will be speechless and stand after their full conviction like so many Rogues in Chains before ⟨p. 116⟩the Judge: And think now with your selves what the behaviour of the wicked will be, when they are thus convicted of their sins, and are ready to receive their sentence; I believe some of you have seen Malefactors at the Bar, when the Jury hath found them guilty, and the Judge hath been proceeding to give the sentence of Death, how their countenances have changed, and their joints trembled, and unexpressible horror seized upon them; but O the dread and terror that will be upon the spirits of the wicked, when they are convicted of sin by this Judge! and with what trembling expectations will they wait for their sentence!
