Christ's certain and sudden appearance to judgment

1. Examine your selves: Christ will examine you at the last day, and you must give an account unto him; examine your selves and call your selves to an account, that you may repent and prevent the future misery which will be the ⟨p. 250⟩consequent of sin; Find out your sins that you may mourn and turn; that which the eye seeth not, the heart will not, cannot be affected withal; Consult the Register of your consciences, turn over the leaves and read what is recorded in that Book: open your hearts to the beams of the light of the Word, and be ready to receive the convictions of the Spirit; Find out your sins, your original sin, the defilement of your natures, your actual sins, your great Conscience-wounding sins; find out your bosom-sins, which your hearts are most nearly joined unto, and are most loth to part withal; find out your Constitution-sins, your Calling-sins, the sins which bear the greatest sway, and are most supported by the interest of the flesh, and your hearts are ready to cloak and cover under the veil of excuses and plausible pleas: Think how you will be able to answer for them at the great Day, to the Heart-searching Judge.
