Depart from me]

Oh direfull and dreadfull 〈◊〉〈◊〉 such as* 1.1 shall make their very heartstrings crack (not their earest ngle one∣ly) and their hearts fall asunder in their bosomes, like drops of wa∣ter. Surely if the gentle voice of God in the coole of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 day were* 1.2 so terrible to our first parents: And if his sweet voice in the preach∣ing of the Gospel of grace be so formidable to the wicked, that Felix trembled, and the stoutest are quailed, the edge of their fury is rebated, their hearts often ake and quake within them: what will they do when the Lion of the tribe of Judah shall roar out up∣on them, this fearfull Discedite that breaths out nothing but fire and brimstone, stings and horrors, woe and alas, seas of ven∣geance and the worm that never dieth, torments without end, and past imagination? The desperate souldiers (that would not have dreaded to dare the devil to a duell) fell before him to the ground, when in the state of his humility, he said but, I am He: how will the wicked stand before him in his Majesty? If Gideons torches and trumpets so daunted the proud 〈◊〉〈◊〉, how shall these abide the terrour of the last day?
