Christ's certain and sudden appearance to judgment. By Thomas Vincent, sometime Minister of Maudlins…

2. The ungodly friends and companions of the wicked will at •hat day be their accusers and witness against them; especially those who have been drawn by them into sin; however now they are very well pleased with them, and delight in their company, because sin pleaseth them, and they do not feel nor believe the bitterness which will be consequent: yet when they come to be judged, and punished for those sins, they will with rage and madness accuse and curse those wicked Persons which were their first tempters: Drunkards will accuse those that drew them first into Taverns and Alehouses, and persuaded them by healths, and other ways to drink beyond their measure: Adulterers and Adulteresses will accuse those which first enticed them unto privy lewdness: ungodly servants also will then accuse their wicked Masters, and ungodly children their wicked Parents, who have been drawn into sin by their example. Thus men will be accusers and witnesses against the wicked.

3. Devils will be the Accusers and Witnesses against the wicked; they are now accusers of the brethren, then they will be accusers of the wicked; they accuse the brethren ly, they will accuse the wicked truly; now they please & […] the wicked, and persuade them to sin; then they will accuse them for those very sins which they persuaded them unto: they have done the Devils drudgery all their dies, and been his faithful slaves; and this is his recompense, he will be their accuser at the last day.
