Christ's certain and sudden appearance to judgment

if we had cast away all our transgressions, and c•st away our own righteousness, and rolled our selves wholly upon Jesus Christ, and acted faith upon him and the promises of this Kingdom, and walked in the narrow way which we seemed to walk in, we might now have been made possessors hereof, and shined amongst yonder glorious Saints, some of whom were our companions, and hoped for our company, and wonder to see us separated from them; But alas we were slothful and careless; we were unwatchful and idle; our pains was more to appear religious, than be religious; we had some lusts which lay nearer our heart than Jesus Christ; we did some things with seeming vigour, but carnal motives were the chief incentives ⟨p. 131⟩to our duties; and how ever lifeless, faithless, and empty of true grace they were, yet we trusted in them, and made them our Saviour, and never were brought clear off from our own bottom, unto a closure with Jesus Christ, and we have fooled away our salvation, and made our selves unworthy of eternal life. Deservedly, deservedly do we lose this crown; for our folly! O that we had been sincere, and thorough Christians!
