NEglect no season of Salvation which is graciously afford∣ed you, because your time is short, Death and Eter∣nity are at the door. You know that you must shortly put off these Tabernacles, 2 Pet. 1.13, 14. that when a few years are come, you shall go the way whence you shall not return, Iob 16.22. All the living are listed Souldiers, and must conflict hand to hand with that dreadful Enemy Death, and there is no discharge in that War, Eccles. 8.8. It will
be in vain to say you are not willing to dye, for willing or unwilling, away you must go when Death calls you. It will be as vain to say you are not ready, for ready or unrea∣dy, you must be gone when Death comes, your readiness to dye would indeed be a Cordial to your hearts in death; but then you must improve and ply the time of life, and husband your opportunities diligently: carelesness of life and readiness for death are inconsistent and exclusive of each other: the Bed is sweeter to none than to the hard Labourer, and the Grave comfortable to none but the laborious Chri∣stian: you know nothing can be done by you after death; the Compositum is then dissolved; you cease to be what you were, to enjoy the means you had, and to work as you did. O therefore slip not the only season you have both of attain∣ing the end of life, and escaping the danger and hour of death.
