Inference 3.

How little cause have they to fear death,* 1.1 who shall be with God so soon after their death? Some there are that tremble at the thoughts of death. That cannot endure to hear its name mention∣ed. That would rather stoop to any misery here, yea, to any sin, than die, because they are afraid of the exchange: but you that are interessed in Christ, need not do so. You can lose nothing by the exchange. The words Death, Grave, and Eternity should have another kind of sound in your ears. And make contrary impressi∣ons upon your hearts. If your earthly Tabernacles cast you out, you shall not be found naked. You have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. And it is but a step out of this, into that. O what fair sweet and lovely thoughts should you have of that great and last change! But what speak I of your fearlesness of death? Your Duty lies much higher than that far.
