Christ's certain and sudden appearance to judgment

2 There will be found recorded, all the evil actions, all the sins of the Children of men. Such and such were disobedient and untoward children; slighted the commands of God and their Parents; were idle, and careless of instruction, and would not open their ear to discipline; such were old in sin, when young in years; were strong and skilful in wicked sinful practices, when their bodies were but weak, and minds sotishly ignorant in the things of God; such had good examples before them, but they would not follow them; they saw dreadful judgments, but were hardened under them; they received many mercies, but they abused them; they had seasons of grace, but they mis-spent them; they had calls, but they shut their ear against them; they had convictions of conscience, but they stifled them; they had motions of the spirit, but they quenched them; they had proffers of Christ, and pardon, and salvation, but they refused them, and turned Gods glory into shame, and his grace into wantonness. Such and such were Sabbath breakers. Such were Swearers. Such were Drunkards. Such were unclean persons, and Adulterers. Such were Thieves. Such were covetous persons, and Idolaters. Such were unjust and unrighteous in their dealings; Such were bitter and ⟨p. 26⟩reproachful in their speeches. Such were injurious in their actions. All the sins of Men and Women will be found in the Book of Gods remembrance. Deut. 32. 34. Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed amongst my treasures? God stores and treasures up the sins of the wicked and ungodly, against the day of his wrath, and their perdition; it is said, Job 14. 16, 17. Thou numberest my steps, didst not thou watch over my sin, my transgressions are sealed up in a Bag, and thou sowest up mine iniquities. God numbereth the steps of sinners, one by one, sin by sin, as a man would number every step; and he watcheth that he may number aright, he takes exact notice of the foot-steps of every sin; which leave an impression in the Book of his remembrance, as the foot-steps of the body do, when a man walketh in soft Clay. He putteth the transgressions in a bag, and soweth the Bag, and sealeth the bag; all which expressions denote Gods exactness in recording and laying up the sins of men. It is said, Jer. 17. 1. That the sin of Judah is written with a Pen of Iron, and the point of a Diamond.
