Inference 1.
Is there an Eternal State into which souls pass after this Life.* 1.1How pretious then is present time, upon the improvement whereof that State depends!* 1.2 O what a huge weight hath God hanged upon a small wyer! God hath set us here in a State of Try∣al, according as we improve these few hours, so will it fare with us to all Eternity. Every day, every hour, nay every moment of your present time hath an influence into your Eternity. Do ye believe this? What, and yet squander away pretious time so care∣lesly, so vainly? How do these things consist? When Seneca heard one promise to spend a week with a friend that invited him,
to recreate himself with him; He told him he admired he should make such a rash promise; what (said he) cast away so conside∣rable a part of your Life? How can you do it! Surely our prodi∣gallity in the expence of time, argues we have but little sence of great Eternity.
