unless you repent, and believe the gospel. You must then give an
account how you improved the advantages now afforded you, for attending
to the things pertaining to your peace. If you do not improve them, the
Bible will condemn you, every faithful sermon you have heard will
condemn you, nay, every sermon which you might have heard, but would

condemn you. The admonitions, intreaties, prayers, and tears of godly
parents, the advice and reproofs of pious friends, the warning and
expostulations of faithful ministers, will all witness against
you. My brethren, what shall I say? The law of God, the gospel,
saints, sinners, angels, your own consciences, the Holy Spirit, the
Lord Jesus, the great Judge himself, will all witness against you, for
your contempt and neglect of that mercy and salvation, which are set
before you in the gospel.

Then all ungodly and impenitent sinners, being tried, cast, and
condemned, must hear that final terrible sentence pronounced upon them,

his angels![Matt. xxv. 41.] And remember that those who have been your
associates in wickedness here, will then be your companions in misery.
This will, if possible, aggravate your torment. You and they will rue the
day when you first met; and mutually charge the ruin of your souls upon
each other. Oh, think of this, and pray for grace to repent, before it be
too late!

At that solemn season, the righteous shall be publicly and fully
acquitted before the assembled world. The judge will say to them,
