Noble Patriots, and all you that come hither to keep a day of Thanksgiving to God this day; come on, set up tribunals, and place Conscience thereon as an impartial Judge, to keep a little day of Judgement in your bosoms this day: We must all appear before the Judgement-seat of Christ one day;1 and how soon, the Lord only knows: Come, start not back; better judge our selves then be judged of the Lord: If we cannot stand before our own Consciences, how shall we be able to stand before that Judge who is greater then our heart, and knoweth all things;2 the great-heart-maker, and the great-heart-searcher.
