Consider. 4. As Judgment shall find a man so it will be with him to all Eternity. Eternity will fasten its iron Teeth upon thy soul then. Hence the Scripture speaketh of Eternal judgement. Heb. 6.2. because men shall then be judged to an eternal estate either of weal or of woe. The wicked shall then go away into everlasting punishment, and the Righteous into Life eternal. If Judgment find a man in a good estate he shall be for ever with the Lord, he shall be where there is Fullness of joy, and pleasures for evermore. But if judgement find him in his sins, he shall be cast into a dungeon out of which he shall never come, even into blackness of darkness forever. O think of this one word, If Judgment •nd thee in thy sins; after thou hast been in ⟨p. 91⟩misery as many millions of Ages as there have been […] minutes since the world began, thou art no •earer to an end of thy misery than thou wast the first hour that the Son of God passed on thee a sentence of eternal death.
