Christ's certain and sudden appearance to judgment

3. The longer you defer your repentance, the more difficult will you find the work to be, because you will be the faster bound in Satan's chains, and not so easily loosened; because you will be the faster asleep in sin, and not so easily awakened; because your hearts will grow the harder by the Jong practice of sin, and not so easily broken; because your sins will be the more increased which you must repent of; because your time will be the more decreased which you are to repent in; so that if it should come to pass (which is a thousand to one) that you should repent after procrastination or deferring repentance; yet you will find the work to be very difficult.

4. Think what glory you may bring to God, what service you may do if you repent and reform presently; all which time, whilst you defer repentance, is spent in the service of the Devil and your own lusts, unto the dishonour of God.
