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

6. Think what Honours you shall have; the meanest of you will be exalted unto higher dignity than the greatest Monarch that ever lived; you will be crowned with immortal glory, you will be honoured by God and the Angels; and you will not only have honour, but you will be made most honourable.

Rejoice then Believers, and •ake comfort, though you are scorned by some, and accounted as the off-scouring of the earth; you are reproached and vilified by men here, but all your reproaches, especially those which you have born for the sake of Jesus Christ, shall be wreathed into a Crown, and make you the more glorious in Heaven; there you shall not have the least disgrace cast upon you any more: and you shall be kept from doing any unbecoming action to blot and sully you in the least, but you shall shine like so many Stars, or glorious Suns in the Kingdom of your Father.

7 Think what Peace and Rest you shall have; you shall have a most sweet peace and tranquility of mind, no enemy without to disturb and molest you, no Dev••d to tempt and assault you, no lusts within, or distempered passion to disquiet you; then you shall have perfect peace; and then you shall rest from all wearisome employments, and take up your repose in God for ever.
