1. Believe that Christ will appear, mingle the Doctrine you have heard or read, with faith; you have had evident proofs of it, believe the thing.
Sinners believe that Christ will come to judge and condemn you, if you be found in your sins, did you believe it effectually, you would quickly become Saints.
Believers labour for more faith in this truth, did you believe▪ it more strongly, you would live at a higher rate.
2. Consider that Christ will appear; meditate on this thing, let it dwell in your thoughts, let it lie down with you at night, and arise with you in the morning, let it sit down with you at Table, and walk with you abroad; think often of the antecedents of Christs coming, the judgment it self and the consequents thereof, and get a deep impression of the last Judgment upon your spirits.
