  A golden trumpet sounding an alarum to judgement the sound whereof was never more needfull though evermore profitable : dedicated and directed unto all the elect children of God which truly repent / newly published by Iohn Andrewes.

summary:
  I care not for my life , so it were lost in the defence of the truth : I looke not for preferment , the world is so corrupted : I desire not the praise of men , it is but vanitie : I ayme not at my owne good , but to set forth Gods glory , the discharge of my owne conscience , and the benefit of Christ his Church and children .

  A sermon preached at the funeral of Dr. William Croun on the 23d of October, 1684, at St. Mildred Church in the Poultrey by John Scott ...

summary:
  4. Fourthly and lastly , Hence I infer , what unspeakable incouragement we have to endeavour after that Universal Righteousness , which intitles us to this blessed state of eternal life ; since God hath proposed such a vast reward to encourage and animate our industry , how can we account any work hard , of which Heaven is the wages ? how can we faint in our Christian race when we see the Crown of Glory hang over the Goal ? IN the foregoing verses of this Chapter our Saviour describes the process of the day of Judgment , and the different Fates to which good and bad men ( whom he describes under the Characters of Sheep and Goats ) shall then be sentenced and consigned , and then he summs up the whole discourse in the words of the Text , These , that is , the Goats , or the Wicked , of whom he had been discoursing in the verses immediately preceding , These shall go away into everlasting punishment , but the Righteous into life eternal ; where by the Righteous we are to understand the truly Pious , and Vertuous , that is , they who render to God , to Men , and to themselves all that duty they owe in their respective Relations and Circumstances : for all our Duties being Dues , our performance of them is nothing but the discharging of our Debts , or being strictly Righteous in rendring to God , and Men , and our selves , what we owe to each by an immutable obligation : and hence the whole Duty of Man is in Scripture very often called by the name of Righteousness , and those who comply with their whole Duty , are frequently styled Righteous , because , to be Righteous , is to render to every one his due , and to render every one his due , is the whole Duty of Man ; so that the meaning of the words is this , they who have been good Men in all their respective Relations , and Circumstances , who have made it the business of their lives to render to God all that Piety and Devotion , to their Neighbours all that Justice and Charity , to themselves all that Sobriety and Temperance which is due from them , both by the command of God , and the judgment of right reason , they , as a reward of this their universal Righteousness , shall by this final judgment be transmitted unto life eternal .

  Mercy in the midst of judgment with a glimpse of, or a glance on, London's glorious resurrection like a Phoenix out of it's ashes delivered in a sermon preach'd at St. Dunstans in the West, Sept. 2, 1669 being the day of publick fasting and humilation in consideration of the late dreadful fire, by Chr. Flower.

summary:
  Not about the Affairs of one single Empire , or of some certain Kingdoms , but the work of that day will be about the business of the whole World : About the chiefest and eternal Good , about the chiefest and eternal Evil. 3. It may be call'd the Great Day , because that day will comprehend the past days of all Ages : it will be as a Recapitulation of all days , from the first day that ever dawn'd ; and on it , as in the last Scene of a Comedy , whatsoever at any time was acted on the Stage of the World , shall then be exhibited to view .

  An admonition concerning a publick fast the just causes we have for it, from the full growth of sin, and the near approaches of God's judgments : and the manner of performance to obtain the desired effects thereof, which ought to be other than our Common Forms, and with stricter acts of moritication than is usual amongst us : with an abstract of Mr. Chillingworth's judgement of the state of religion in this nation in his time : and of a letter from the Hague concerning two sermons preached there in the French church at which were present divers of the English nobility.

summary:
  For the King himself , if I , and many others , be not mistaken , hath already suffer'd some Diminution in some Essentials of his Majesty , Honour , and most Prevalent Powers and is in Danger to fall lower , from being a Glorious Instrument of God for Good and Happiness to this and many other Nations , into the deplorable and despicable condition of being an occasion of Confusion and Misery : only there seems a door of Hope still open for him , upon one Consideration , if the Opportunity be not neglected ; of which more presently : but first I think fit to say something briefly concerning The present State of Things in the World , and what may be expected from it . In matters of Prudence , none but weak and dull , or depraved Souls will expect Mathematical Demonstrations and Sensible Evidences , for all their Actions : God by his Providence hath purposely so ordered the Course of things , that his Rational Creatures , Mankind , should be often necessitated to a Close Application of their Minds , and a kind of Spiritual Discerning , in the Management of their own Affairs .

  Dies novissimus, or, Dooms-day not so near as dreaded together with something touching the present invasion of the Turk into the German Empire and the probable success thereof / by John Gadbury ...

summary:
  By which Systeme of their Positions , at the time aforesaid , it plainly appeareth unto my sight , that all of them are so far from being in Conjunction , that not any two of them are exactly so united . Now then , if thus it be , that all the Planets are not in Sagittarius , ( as hath been proved ) must it not be both vain and frivolous for any man ( let him be either Astrologer or other ) to affright , terrifie and amuse the world upon a pretended meeting of them all in the Fiery Triplicity ? and thence for to threaten a destruction of the world by fire ? But suppose we should admit ( what some Brain-sick Prognosticators would willingly have ) that the Planets were all of them in Sagittarius that day ; yet unless they had been in Conjunction there , I must tell them it is such a Position , and so strange a Marvel , that indeed signifieth nothing at all !

  A treatise of the great and generall daye of iudgement necessarie for euerie Christian that wisheth good successe to his soule, at that great and terirble day. By Henrie Greenwood, Master of Arts, and preacher of the word of God. With an addition of certaine godly prayers the contents appeare in the next page.

summary:
  2 There is prouincia terrestris : the kingdome of earth , and the sp●ach of this country is talking of terrene end earthly matters ●●ozling with the mole in the Cranies terrarumque poris , and in the pores of the earth , quite contrary to the nature of man : for Os homini sublime dedit ( saith the Poet ) coelumque tueri inssit : God gaue man a lofty face , and bad him looke aloft , and hold vp his head toward heauen . Where is now the heretique that confoundeth particular iudgement ? Where is now the Epicure , that thinketh there is no iudgment at all ? Where is now the ignorant Papist that dreameth of Purgatory ? and hee that fondly thinketh that there is Limbus patrum , and Lymbus puerorum ? and where are these that imagin of a place of ab●ade , betweene Heauen and Hell ? I turne them all together to the Hebrewes for Wisedome in this point : where they shall finde that after death the soule of man is iudged .

summary:
  1. Christ suffered for man in the Nature of man ; but not in your person , nor you in him : It was not you that provided the price , but God himself ; Christ was not mans Delegate in satisfying , and therefore received not his Instructions from us , nor did it on our terms , but his own . The knowledge and consideration of the terrible Judgement of God , should move us to perswade , and men to be perswaded to careful preparation .

summary:
  But I pray give me leave to ask you a Question by the bye , and not to decline that which you have put to me ; the Case is this , It is commonly observed that good men find such a modesty ( as you speak of ) to restrain them when they are setting themselves to begin some good Discourse ; insomuch that sometimes with very great difficulty ( if at all ) they can screw themselves up to it ; but contrariwise , lewd and prophane men rant and Hector at an intolerable rate , they will blaspheme and burlesque Religion when they are in their humour without regard to God and man : now seeing the former have all the reason in the World on their side , and the other as much against them , what is it that makes this difference in their spirit and temper ? Phil. As for the general Design of these Conferences , I make bold to tell thee , that it is apparently noble and generous , namely , to lead the way to more manly Conversation , especially amongst the better ranks of men , to demonstrate that the strictest Virtue is consistent with the greatest Prudence and Civility ; and in short , to raise the dejected and depressed Spirit of Piety in the World.

  Delight and judgment: or, a prospect of the great Day of Judgment and its power to damp, and imbitter sensual delights, sports, and recreations. By Anthony Horneck, D.D.

summary:
  The result of all , is this Proposition : That the prospect of a future Judgment , is enough to embitter all the sensual and carnal delights of Men , particularly of young Men , and to bring a damp upon the most Youthful , and most jovial temper imaginable : Not only the sense of the Text , I have already laid down imports so much , but there is this farther in it , that the wise Man seems to couch his argument plainly thus ; do but take a view of that dreadful Judgment , God is resolved to bring thy guilty Soul to , and thou wilt not dare to indulge thy self in the mad rejoycings of thy Youth , nor walk in the ways , and after the fancies of thy corrupted Heart , nor suffer thy wanton Eyes to fix on those objects , from which God hath bid thee turn thy Face away . Having to deal with Christians , at least with Men that profess themselves such , this query seems needless , for the Scripture which the Christian World pretends to believe to be derived from God , is full of passages of this Nature , and assures us , that this belief of a future Judgment is as ancient , as the Creation of the World ; For Enoch the seventh from Adam , who in all probability had it from his ancestors , Prophesied of these , saying , Behold the Lord cometh with Ten thousand of his Saints , to Execute Judgment upon all , and to convince all that are ungodly among them , of all their ungodly deeds , which they have ungodlily committed , and of their hard speeches , which ungodly sinners have spoken against him , Jude v. 14 , 15.

  The sirenes, or, Delight and judgment represented in a discourse concerning the great day of judgment and its power to damp and imbitter sensual delights, sports, and recreations / by Anthony Horneck ...

summary:
  Providence can be silent for a time ; but at last the sleeping Lion wakes , and roars so , that all the Beasts of the Field do tremble ; and Solomon , on whose Head the Candle of the Lord had shined so long , found that Light at last go out in a Snuff , and himself the Object of Gods wrath and indignation ; he found by sad experience , what it was to abuse the Wisdom God had bestowed upon him , how dangerous the Paths were he had walked in , what it was to pervert the End and Design of the Gifts of God ; and what darkness and confusion it brought upon Men , and that makes him impart this sad Memento to the Man who hath Blood , and Youth , and Strength enough to be vain and foolish ; Rejoyce , O young Man , in thy Youth , and let thy Heart chear thee in the days of thy Youth , &c. And how can we imagine , that the whole World , at least the wiser part of it , should so unanimously believe a future Judgment after this Life , if either there had not been a great propensity in their Nature , to believe the Notion , or Reason had not convinced them of the Certainty and Reality of the Thing : If we grant , that God hath given a Law to Man , we must necessarily grant , that there must be a Judge to call those to an account , who have violated and broke those Laws .
