Christ's certain and sudden appearance to judgment

3. Awake sinners, awake! Christ will quickly appear to Judgment. The coming of the Lord draweth nigh; the Judge standeth at the Door; the Lord will suddenly come down; when you least expect it, the Lord may be here; and can you sleep, when the appearance of Christ is so sure, and so near too? can you slumber, when your judgment lingereth not, and your damnation slumbereth not? If the day of general Judgment should be protracted for some time longer, until all the Elect be gathered, and the things foretold in the •ord, be fulfilled; yet your time for preparation ⟨p. 238⟩may be almost spent, you may suddenly go down into your Graves, where there is no operation; and can you sleep in sin, when you are liable every day to the stroke of death, which will cut you off from all opportunities of making your peace with God for ever, and deliver you up at the last day into the hands of the Judge, under the same guilt as it found you, when it first laid its arrest upon you?
