II.

O Lord God, blessed Jesu, Eternall Judge of quick and dead, I tremble with horrour at the apprehension when I call to mind with

what terrors and Majesty thou shalt appear in judgement; a fire shall go out from thy pre∣sence, and a tempest shall be stirred up round about thee, such a tempest as shall rend the rocks, levell the mountains, shake the earth, disorder and dissolve the whole fabrick of the heavens, and where then shall I, vile sinner, ap∣pear, when the heavens are not pure in thy sight? Lord, I tremble when I remember that sad truth, If the righteous scarcely be saved, where then shall the wicked and the ungodly appear? I know, O Lord, that all my secret impurities shall be laid open before all the Na∣tions of the world, before all the orders and de∣grees of Angels, in the presence of innumerable millions of beatified spirits. There shall I see ma∣ny that have taught me innocence and sancti∣ty, many that have given me pious example, many that have dyed for thee, and suffered tor∣tures rather then they would offend thee. O just and dear God, where shall I appear? who shall plead for me that am so loaden with im∣purities, with vanity, with ingratitude, with malice, and the terrors of an affrighting con∣science? Lord what shall I do, who am strait∣ned by my own covetousnesse, accused by my own pride, consumed with envy, set on fire by lust, made dull with gluttony, and stupid by drunkennesse, supplanted by ambition, rent a∣sunder with faction and discord, made dissolute

with lightness and inconstancy, deceived with hypocrisie, abused with flattery, fool'd with presumption, disturb'd with anger, and disor∣dered by a whole body of sin and death? But thou shalt answer for me, O Lord my God, thou art my judge and my advocate, and thou art to pass sentence upon me for those sins, for which thou diedst. O reserve not my sins to be punished in the life to come, for then I die eternally, but bring me in this world to a holy, a sharp and salutary repentance. Behold I am in thine hands; grant I may so weep, and be contrite for my sins, that in the hour of my death I may finde mercy, and in the day of judgement I may be freed from all the terrors of thy wrath, and the sentence of the wicked, and may behold thy face with joy and security, being set at thy right hand, with all thy saints and Angels to sing an eternall Hallelujah to the honour of thy mercies. Amen, sweet Jesu. Amen.
