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

3. Make confession of sin; Spread the black Catalogue of your sins before the Lord; come with ropes about your necks, and tears in your eyes, and sorrow in your hearts unto the Throne of Grace, and fill your mo••hes with humble acknowledgements of your sins: rip up your hearts before the Lord […] open before him your soars: stand not in your own defence and justification, but fall down Prostrate at God's feet, and confess what sinful natures you have, what vile hearts what wicked lives you have lead; confess•• how you have broken his Law and disobeyed his Gospel, charge upon your selves the guilt of your particular and most […] sins, and do not extenuate but aggravate them with all the circumstances you can think of; look upon your selves as cur••d wretches whilst under the guilt of sin, as miserable, […] forlorn creatures, whilst God is your enemy and his […] abideth on you; acknowledge your sins and the […] your sins, that you have deserved not only temporal […], but also eternal torments; that you have forfeited […] outward mercies, and are unworthy of the least grace […] savour, much more unworthy of eternal life. Lye very […] before God, lick the dust; look upon your selves as Worms, as Toads, yea as more vile and more full of ••yson.
