The second Use, serves to Provoke us to study to be in a Solemn Divine Heavenly frame, for such a Solemn Divine Heavenly action as this is: and thoroughly to examine our selves, and to see that all things be in good order: like to a bride that is to be Married to morrow, who will be trying on her marriage clothes, and seeing that all things be right. I shall not descend to particulars, but in Three or Four words in the general, only point at such a frame as we conceive is called for from you. 1. It should be such a frame as ye would desire to be in, if Christ were coming personally and visibly to Marry you to morrow: and O! That this night might thus be a Bridle or Marriage evening to us all: Consider what frame we would wish to be in, if we were to meet with him, and strike hands with him ⟨p. 7⟩personally and visibly, Study and seek after such a frame. 2. It should be such a frame as we would desire to have if we were going to give up the Ghost, when all earthly things will be insignifi ant and of little worth to us: even such a Frame as if our eternal Peace and happiness were depending on that chock, This would be the night of making our Testament (as it were) and of the adjusting our accounts with God and of putting things to a Point betwixt him and us; other ways our debt may increase and grow greater, and it will not be so easy for us to win to a discharge of it. 3. It should be such a frame as we would desire to be found in, if the day of Judgement were coming, and if that day were to be to morrow: O! how humble, how abstracted from the things of a present world, and how confirmed in the Faith of Gods love, would we study to be, If the voice of the Arch angel, and of the last Trumpet were sounding, and a Solemn meeting of all before the Tribunal of Christ were presently to be? what a frame (I say) would ye desire to be in in such a case? Even such a frame should ye study to be in this night as ye would desire to be found in, In that day: We fear it will be to many then a Prick and a sting in their Consciences within them, That they made so little Conscience to be in a suitable frame for this so Solemn an O• dinance; The Text tells that a sentence will pass on every one of you, and you would by all means labour to be in such a Posture as the sentence may not be terrible to you. 4.
