INFOR. III. What a sad account will they have to give unto God at the day of Judgment, who have out lived their Youth, and yet shall die in their Sins. If a Young man that ha's not lived Thirty years dying in his sins must be Eternally miserable, what must they be that have lived Forty, it may be Fifty years or more, and shall at last go out of the World in an Unconverted estate? It is said that the sinner of an hundred years old shall be Cursed, Isa. 85. 2. O how Cursed! O how Damned will the sinner of an hundred years old be! The Scripture speaks of those that are Old in Adulteries, Ezek. 23. 43. An old Wanton, an old Drunkard must needs fall under an heavy sentence in the day when God shall bring them into judgment. The ⟨p. 50⟩longer men continue in sin, the heavier will their Judgment be at last. There are mountains of Guilt on their sinful Souls, and therefore mountains of Wrath will break upon them in the great and terrible day of the Lord. What have such sinners been doing all their lives long? They have been treasuring up Wrath against the day of Wrath; such a treasure as will never be spent throughout the days of Eternity. What an Infinite number of sins have they to answer for? And that not only as to Commissions of evil, but as to Omissions of duty? It will be said to many a sinner at the day of Judgment, thou didst live without Prayer in thy Family: and thou […] without Prayer in Secret: thou didst live so many thousand days without any Prayer to God, and now will God pour out His fury upon thee. For many years together thou didst despise the Offers of Grace in the Gospel. No thought will cut and kill the heart of a sinner at the Judgment day like that. I remember I knew a man that was Executed for an horrid Crime; and he did to me in private Confess his Guilt in other Capital offences which the World knew nothing of, acknowledging that God was righteous in bringing him to such a death; that poor Wretch when he ⟨p. 51⟩came to die, declared unto all the Spectators that nothing troubled him so much, as that of his having disregarded the many Sermons which he heard Preached in the Name of the Lord: These were his sentiments when his Immortal Soul was going to appear before God the Judge of all. So will it be with sinners at the last day.
