in_o we_o than_o the_o remembrance_n of_o that_o great_a day_n wherein_o all_o the_o cause_n of_o all_o man_n be_v to_o be_v plead_v and_o their_o matter_n determine_v insomuch_o that_o saint_n

the_o same_o the_o second_o shall_v be_v concern_v the_o raise_n up_o of_o the_o dead_a body_n and_o the_o come_n of_o the_o judge_n 5_o the_o greatness_n and_o horror_n of_o that_o last_o day_n may_v be_v know_v hereby_o that_o it_o be_v call_v in_o holy_a scripture_n a_o great_a day_n and_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o shall_v it_o not_o indeed_o be_v a_o very_a great_a day_n which_o shall_v comprehend_v all_o the_o day_n of_o all_o age_n aswell_o those_o that_o be_v past_a as_o those_o that_o be_v to_o come_v for_o in_o that_o day_n man_n shall_v render_v a_o account_n of_o all_o the_o day_n that_o be_v past_a in_o that_o day_n god_n will_v pour_v out_o that_o infinite_a treasure_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o indignation_n which_o he_o have_v heap_v up_o in_o the_o space_n of_o all_o the_o world_n that_o be_v past_a in_o that_o day_n the_o motion_n of_o the_o heaven_n shall_v cease_v the_o course_n of_o the_o star_n the_o revolution_n of_o year_n the_o vicissitude_n or_o

shall_v rest_v in_o eternal_a silence_n 6_o also_o in_o that_o day_n it_o shall_v be_v decree_v by_o the_o sentence_n and_o irrevocable_a constitution_n of_o the_o most_o high_a and_o eternal_a judge_n what_o state_n and_o condition_n every_o one_o of_o we_o shall_v have_v and_o retain_v in_o all_o eternity_n of_o world_n 7_o and_o not_o without_o cause_n the_o holy_a scripture_n have_v call_v it_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n for_o as_o all_o the_o day_n of_o man_n go_v before_o be_v call_v their_o day_n because_o man_n watch_v in_o they_o and_o do_v whatsoever_o they_o will_v and_o god_n bear_v suffer_v endure_v expect_v and_o after_o a_o sort_n sleep_v &_o rest_v in_o they_o even_o so_o then_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v shine_v wherein_o he_o shall_v be_v continual_o wake_v &_o shall_v do_v whatsoever_o he_o will_v and_o we_o whether_o we_o will_v or_o no_o must_v suffer_v and_o endure_v 8_o thou_o now_o do_v add_v sin_n unto_o sin_n and_o cease_v not_o to_o offend_v god_n daily_o &_o god_n be_v silent_a at_o all_o these_o thing_n and_o why_o so_o because_o this_o day_n be_v thy_o day_n but_o the_o day_n shall_v come_v believe_v i_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v come_v which_o shall_v bring_v a_o end_n to_o so_o long_a silence_n and_o wherein_o he_o will_v take_v vengeance_n of_o all_o the_o injury_n that_o have_v be_v do_v unto_o he_o 9_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o all_o eternity_n comprehend_v two_o day_n only_o the_o one_o of_o man_n the_o other_o of_o god_n in_o the_o one_o man_n shall_v watch_v and_o god_n shall_v sleep_v in_o the_o other_o man_n shall_v sleep_v and_o god_n shall_v watch_v 10_o how_o horrible_a this_o day_n shall_v be_v we_o can_v plain_o understand_v and_o yet_o we_o may_v guess_v at_o it_o by_o the_o

30_o last_o of_o all_o this_o may_v be_v add_v also_o for_o the_o explication_n of_o our_o question_n that_o the_o law_n and_o commandment_n of_o god_n be_v a_o straight_a way_n and_o gate_n if_o they_o be_v consider_v by_o themselves_o and_o alone_o but_o if_o the_o grace_n and_o help_v of_o god_n be_v join_v unto_o they_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v call_v a_o straight_a gate_n but_o a_o sweet_a yoke_n and_o a_o light_a burden_n 31_o for_o this_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n the_o law_n command_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v holy_a but_o it_o give_v no_o grace_n by_o which_o man_n be_v sanctify_v it_o command_v we_o to_o fight_v against_o the_o devil_n but_o it_o give_v not_o unto_o we_o necessary_a armour_n and_o weapon_n to_o fight_v it_o command_v we_o of_o carnal_a to_o become_v spiritual_a but_o it_o give_v not_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o which_o we_o may_v be_v make_v spiritual_a it_o command_v we_o to_o go_v forward_o towards_o heaven_n but_o it_o give_v not_o unto_o we_o ladder_n and_o step_n by_o which_o we_o may_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n 32_o therefore_o the_o law_n be_v a_o yoke_n but_o not_o a_o sweet_a yoke_n it_o be_v a_o burden_n but_o not_o a_o light_a one_o but_o the_o gospel_n command_v the_o selfsame_o thing_n give_v help_v and_o strength_n that_o they_o may_v not_o only_o be_v do_v but_o also_o that_o they_o may_v be_v easy_o do_v 33_o wherefore_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o yoke_n but_o sweet_a it_o be_v a_o burden_n but_o light_n it_o be_v also_o a_o strait_a and_o a_o broad_a way_n it_o be_v a_o
