This point should greatly terrify all impenitent sinners, seeing no man can escape the judgement of God: multitude will not help them, nor can there be any help from worldly means: God hath his book in which are written the names of all to whom he gave life, and therefore none shall be forgotten: and therefore this should be a warning to enforce every man to repent in time, lest God surprise him at unawares and carry him away in an hour he thinks not of; and then as Death leaves him, Judgement will find him. And besides, this very point should greatly stir up the desire of all that love the appearing of Christ, to wait for, and long for this great Assize. Men generally long to be at such Assizes, where many persons are to be tried, and where they shall have great causes examined and judged, especially if there be any great man to be arraigned. How them should we desire that day, when all men shall be judged, and the causes of so many great men of the earth shall then be openly heard? &c.
