the continuance of Ceremonies and that in respect of the account we must give to our Judge Honour Plenty and Ease may harden the hearts of some of us against tenderly considering the danger of Souls excluded from our Communion and thereby exposed as a prey to Sectaries but all the glory and pleasure of this world will be contemptible when the sign of the Son of man shall appear in heaven Mat 24 30. Ac● 26.13 His glory at mid-day was unto Paul a light from heaven above the brightness of the Sun That sign may be such a glory filling the whole World with the brightness thereof every where seen by amazed mankind He who hath created the glorious body of the Sun which is 139 some say 166 times bigger than this Globe in which we live can spread a more Glorious Light over this point of earth or particle of dust for so it is if compared with the vast extent of the Heavens Whatever that sign shall be it is like it shall be visible to all not only to the righteous for their comfort but also to the wicked for their terrour Mat. 24.30 Gen. 49.5 It is said that all the tribes of the Earth shall then mourn They of the Tribe of Levi who are for instruments of Cruelty shall have their share in the mourning What trembling will seize upon them 1 Thes 1.16 17. when the mighty blast of Gods Trumpet shall awake all the Sleepers in the dust them that have not lodged six days in the Grave 1 Cor 15.52 and the Sleepers of 6000 years His power shall raise all the dead and change the living in a moment in the twinkling of an Eye An universal flame shall embrace the heavens and the earth the God of our proud and covetous Formalists melt the frozen World in the Laodicean State 2 Pet. 3.10 The Heavens shall pass away with a great noise and the Elements shall melt with fervent heat the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burnt up Rev. 20.12 The dead small and great shall stand before God to be judged according to their works Then mocking Ishmaels that have scoffed at the pure in heart as Puritans Precise Fools and Melancholy dull Souls shall take the Fools cap unto themselves and they repenting Wisd 5 and groaning for anguish of Spirit shall say within themselves This was he whom we had sometimes in derision and a proverb of reproach We fools accounted his life madness and his end to be without honour How is he numbred among the Children of God and his Lot is among the Saints Some among us are angry with Calvin for calling humane rites tolerables ineptias Epist Anglis Fran●●ford p. 98. They will not at the great day be such unto rigorous Imposers who made them terms of Communion How will you at that day lift up your faces before your Master and your Judge when he shall demand of you What is become of those his Lambs which you drove into the Wilderness by needless Impositions He requires you to pray unto the Lord of the harvest that he would fend forth more labourers into his harvest and you keep away many worthy labourers from his work because they cannot comply with terms that he never appointed We may think it a light matter to offend weak Christians but it will not be always so Wo unto the World because of offences Mat. 18.7 For it must needs be that offences come but wo unto that man by whom the offence cometh Offences will hereafter be as heavy to the Imposers of humane inventions as they are now to the weak The punishment of them that offend one of Christs little ones will be more dreadful than being cast into the Sea with a milstone about the neck Luk. 17.2 If Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his Angels shall be the lightest punishment inflicted on them that feed not the hungry and do not cloath the naked how deep will their lodging be in the lake of Fire and Brimstone who lay Stumbling-blocks before multitudes of Souls to their so great Scandal that they forsake the Ordinances of Jesus Christ how terrible will it be to be punished with everlasting destruction 2 Thes 1.9 from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power This will be heavier than many Milstones For all the works and Mountains in the world will be light in comparison of the weight of the wrath of the Lamb.

And the Kings of the Earth and the great men and the rich men and the chief Captains c. hid themselves in the Dens and in the Rocks of the Mountains and said to the Mountains and Rocks Fall on us and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the Throne and from the wrath of the Lamb the great day of his wrath is come and who shall be able to stand FINIS
