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.
Sinners, consider how the wicked will be judged, think how they will be accused and condemned, think of the dreadful sentence, and the execution thereof in Hell, and then think that you are in the number of those that are in such danger, unless you speedily secure your selves, by making your peace.
Believers, consider how the Saints will be judged, think how Christ will acquit them, and invite them to take possession, and then will give them possession of Heaven; and then think that you are in the number of these blessed ones, which shall be made thus happy.
3. Prepare for the appearance of Christ to judgment, ⟨p. 285⟩and that you may be prepared, as a conclusion to this Doctrine, take these directions.
