how_o be_v you_o resolve_v to_o prepare_v for_o judgement_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v will_v you_o do_v no_o more_o than_o you_o have_v do_v hitherto_o or_o will_v you_o now_o set_v yourselves_o with_o all_o your_o might_n to_o make_v preparation_n for_o so_o great_a a_o day_n methinks_v you_o shall_v be_v now_o past_a all_o demur_n delay_n or_o further_a doubt_n about_o such_o a_o business_n and_o by_o the_o consideration_n of_o what_o i_o have_v say_v already_o you_o shall_v be_v full_o resolve_v to_o lose_v no_o more_o time_n but_o present_o to_o awake_v and_o set_v upon_o the_o work_n i_o think_v you_o shall_v all_o say_v we_o will_v do_v any_o thing_n that_o the_o lord_n shall_v direct_v we_o to_o do_v rather_o than_o we_o will_v be_v unready_a for_o the_o final_a doom_n o_o that_o there_o be_v but_o such_o heart_n in_o you_o that_o you_o be_v true_a willing_a to_o follow_v the_o gracious_a guidance_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o use_v but_o those_o sweet_a and_o reasonable_a mean_n which_o he_o have_v prescribe_v you_o in_o his_o word_n that_o you_o may_v be_v ready_a for_o that_o day_n alas_o it_o be_v no_o hard_a matter_n for_o i_o to_o tell_v you_o or_o myself_o what_o it_o be_v that_o we_o must_v do_v if_o we_o will_v be_v happy_a and_o it_o be_v no_o very_a hard_a matter_n to_o do_v it_o so_o far_o as_o we_o be_v true_o willing_a but_o the_o difficulty_n be_v to_o be_v true_o and_o thorough_o willing_a to_o this_o work_n if_o i_o shall_v tell_v you_o what_o you_o must_v do_v for_o preparation_n shall_v i_o not_o lose_v my_o labour_n will_v you_o resolve_v and_o promise_n in_o the_o strength_n of_o grace_n that_o you_o will_v faithful_o and_o speedy_o endeavour_v to_o practise_v it_o whoever_o shall_v gainsay_v it_o upon_o hope_n of_o this_o i_o will_v set_v you_o down_o some_o brief_a direction_n which_o you_o must_v follow_v if_o ever_o you_o will_v with_o comfort_n look_v the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o the_o face_n at_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n or_o in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n the_o first_o direction_n be_v this_o see_v that_o your_o soul_n be_v sincere_o establish_v in_o the_o belief_n of_o this_o judgement_n and_o everlasting_a life_n for_o if_o you_o do_v not_o sound_o believe_v it_o you_o will_v not_o serious_o prepare_v for_o it_o if_o you_o have_v the_o judgement_n and_o belief_n of_o a_o infidel_n you_o can_v have_v the_o heart_n or_o the_o life_n of_o a_o christian_a unbelief_n shut_v out_o the_o most_o of_o the_o world_n from_o heaven_n see_v that_o it_o do_v not_o so_o by_o you_o if_o you_o say_v you_o can_v believe_v what_o you_o will_v i_o answer_v feed_v not_o your_o unbelief_n by_o wilfulness_n or_o unreasonableness_n use_v god_n mean_n to_o overcome_v it_o and_o
as_o king_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v sit_v in_o judgement_n on_o all_o man_n at_o the_o last_o and_o shall_v separate_v they_o one_o from_o another_o as_o a_o shepherd_n divide_v the_o sheep_n

the_o law_n do_v curse_v they_o to_o misery_n many_o a_o fearful_a thought_n have_v possess_v their_o own_o breast_n lest_o they_o shall_v prove_v at_o last_o accurse_v and_o miserable_a but_o now_o

for_o ever_o he_o that_o once_o have_v hear_v his_o redeemer_n in_o judgement_n call_v he_o bless_v will_v never_o fear_v be_v curse_v more_o for_o he_o that_o christ_n bless_v shall_v be_v bless_v
