B Oth old & young, both rich & poor, repent without delay, Unto the Lord for mercy call, and cast your sins away: The terrible day of Judgement, is drawing very neer, When as all sorts of people, shall at Gods Barr appear: Then cast off sinful pleasure, which is but vanity, And above all earthly treasure, remember thou must dye. Thou that dost spend thy time, in many a fond delight, Forgeting of the living Lord, who rules both day and night: Amend thy life, whilst thou hast space turn from thy former state, Call to the Lord above, for grace before it be too late: Then, etc.
Also thou that givest thy mind to the Sin of Drunkenness, Wasting of thy estate, to bring it less and less: It will consume thy body and soul, to all Eternity, And those that followeth that sin, be sure will beggers dye: Then, etc. Likewise thou cursed Swearer, that blaspheams God on high, Cast off that deadly sin, and learn to live righteously: Remember what's prepared for, the Swearer and the Lyar, They both shall have their portion in Hells eternal fire: Then cast off sining pleasure, which is but vanity, And above all earthly treasure, remember thou must dye.
<seg n="1" rend="left"><hi rend="italic">The Second Part, To the same Tune.</hi> </seg>
T Hen wicked men consider and think on your last end, Leave off your wickedness, and strive your lives to mend: Seek in time for Repentance, before your time be past, Then the goodness of Gods mercies hereafter you shall taste: Then cast off sining pleasure, which is but vanity, And above all earthly treasure, remember thou must dye. But whilst pride and malice, and envy with us reign, We must not look, Gods Favour nor Mercy to obtain: There is some are so Malicious, and Envious too, we see, They hate to see each other live in Prosperity: Then, etc. And Covetousness with Rich-Men of late is grown too brief, Unto the distressed they give but small relief; For some Mens hearts are hardned, harder then Stone, or Steel, They don't think on the miseries, that many poor souls feel: Then, etc. There is some Rich Cormudgeons, if you but them observe, Which will gripe and grind the poor, and care not if they starve, Upon their earthly riches, they dayly set their mind, Some don't consider they must dye, and leave their wealth behind. Then, etc.
But mortal man observe, that thou must yield to death, When as he stops thy wind, thou must resign thy breath, If thou wouldst give the world then, it can't thy life delay, Then prepare for death, for time and tide, will not for no man stay. Then, etc. And after death thou shalt, within the grave remain, Until the day of judgment, then thou shalt rise again. And stand before the terrible Judge, a just account to give, How and in what manner thou didst in thy life time live. Then, etc. Then happy are all those, that hath done righteously, For they shall live with God to all eternity. But the Wicked shall be tormented, in hells hot burning flame, Whereas there's no redemption, to come out of the same. Then, etc. Then let's leave our Wickedness, and cast our sins away, Striving to mend our lives and no time delay. Let us alwaies be seeking, to run a vertuous race, That we in heaven hereafter, may have a during place. Then cast off sinning pleasure, which is but vanity, And above all earthly treasure, remember thou must dye.
