scripture_n have_v likewise_o fore-spoken_a of_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o of_o christ_n second_o come_v they_o shall_v also_o be_v fulfil_v in_o their_o due_a time_n for_o god_n will_v be_v immutable_a and_o what_o he_o have_v say_v must_v needs_o come_v to_o pass_v at_o the_o time_n appoint_v second_o god_n justice_n require_v that_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v reward_v according_a to_o their_o work_n and_o therefore_o that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v hereafter_o be_v punish_v and_o the_o godly_a comfort_v we_o see_v many_o time_n that_o the_o wicked_a do_v persecute_v and_o oppress_v the_o godly_a and_o such_o as_o be_v great_a do_v wrong_v the_o poor_a and_o defraud_v they_o of_o their_o right_n and_o yet_o in_o this_o world_n they_o escape_v unpunished_a it_o remain_v therefore_o that_o if_o god_n be_v just_a their_o judgement_n be_v reserve_v till_o another_o world_n that_o the_o wicked_a howsoever_o they_o live_v here_o in_o prosperity_n may_v there_o be_v punish_v and_o that_o the_o godly_a who_o live_v here_o in_o affliction_n and_o misery_n may_v be_v refresh_v and_o comfort_v for_o it_o be_v a_o righteous_a thing_n with_o god_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v to_o recompense_v tribulation_n to_o they_o which_o trouble_v you_o 1._o 2_o thes_n 1._o and_o to_o you_o which_o be_v trouble_v rest_n with_o we_o when_o the_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v show_v himself_o from_o heaven_n with_o his_o mighty_a angel_n three_o if_o there_o shall_v not_o hereafter_o be_v a_o day_n of_o judgement_n than_o many_o sin_n which_o have_v be_v commit_v here_o in_o secret_n shall_v never_o come_v to_o light_v and_o so_o god_n justice_n in_o punish_v offender_n can_v not_o so_o well_o be_v make_v know_v and_o manifest_a and_o therefore_o that_o hypocrite_n may_v be_v know_v and_o discover_v and_o the_o very_a thought_n of_o their_o heart_n and_o their_o most_o secret_a sin_n which_o have_v be_v conceal_v from_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n may_v be_v lay_v open_a it_o be_v necessary_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o day_n of_o judgement_n that_o so_o god_n justice_n may_v the_o better_o appear_v in_o their_o condemnation_n i_o may_v allege_v other_o reason_n but_o i_o think_v it_o needless_a see_v the_o come_n of_o this_o day_n be_v so_o certain_a that_o the_o apostle_n say_v here_o you_o yourselves_o know_v perfect_o that_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v and_o therefore_o i_o will_v come_v to_o the_o next_o point_n that_o though_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o this_o day_n will_v come_v yet_o when_o it_o will_v come_v it_o be_v uncertain_a as_o the_o apostle_n here_o show_v by_o say_v it_o so_o come_v as_o be_v thief_n in_o the_o night_n who_o come_v be_v on_o the_o sudden_a and_o when_o it_o be_v not_o expect_v therefore_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n to_o judgement_n be_v liken_v by_o he_o sometime_o to_o the_o come_n of_o the_o flood_n that_o drown_v the_o old_a world_n so_o mat._n 24._o 24.38_o mat._n 24.38_o as_o in_o the_o day_n that_o come_v before_o the_o flood_n they_o be_v eat_v and_o drink_v marry_v and_o give_v in_o marriage_n until_o the_o day_n that_o noah_n enter_v into_o the_o ark_n and_o know_v not_o until_o the_o flood_n come_v and_o take_v they_o all_o away_o so_o shall_v also_o the_o come_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v sometime_o his_o come_n be_v liken_v to_o a_o snare_n so_o christ_n have_v foretold_v u_fw-mi 21.34.35_o luke_n 21.34.35_o luke_n 21._o of_o his_o come_n to_o judgement_n take_v heed_n say_v he_o to_o yourselves_o lest_o at_o any_o time_n your_o heart_n be_v

be_v resemble_v to_o the_o come_n of_o a_o thief_n in_o the_o night_n a_o similitude_n which_o be_v often_o use_v in_o the_o gospel_n first_o by_o our_o saviour_n and_o afterward_o borrow_v from_o
