is the Benefit this is the Advantage of Consideration Alas if we sail without Chart without Compass without a Pilot what can we expect but a fatal Shipwrack If Men will not endeavour to dispose themselves to a serious Consideration and Reflection upon what they are a going to do but as the Horse into the Battle rush upon things with Indiscretion and Precipitancy what can be the consequence of such their Folly but Ruin and Destruction It is the worthy Observation of Philo That the first reason of all the dangers and miscarriages of Men lies in their running on with the boistrous Tide of Passion and that the first hopes of safety flow from a sober reasoning of the matter But behold a greater than Philo is here God himself lays the blame of all Men's Misery upon Inconsideration Thus God complains of his People Isa 1.4 Ah sinful Nation a people laden with Iniquity And why were they so Why forsook they the Lord and provoked him to Anger It was because of their heedlesness and Inadvertency Israel doth not know my People doth not consider vers 3. Thus Ezekiel 18.27 28. Who is he that turneth away from his Wickedness and doth that which is lawful and right The Considerative Person He repents because he considereth So that Inconsideration is the chief Impediment the principal Obstruction of Repentance which is the Reason why God according to Solomon's Assertion will severely punish Men for it at the Day of Judgment Eccles 12.14 God will bring every Work into Judgment with every secret thing i. e. say the generality of Latinists Pro omni Errato with every Error or Miscarriage i. e. He will bring into Judgment the inconsiderateness of Men And this Translation the Seventy seem to approve of Every secret thing i. e. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 now 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 est iucuriose aspicere vel per incuriam mentis minus attentis oculis praeterire To behold or look upon a thing with a negligent or careless Eye This Heedlesness and Neglect this Remissness and Inconsideration in our Actions God will punish at the Day of Judgment and there is all the Reason and Justice imaginable in so doing because from Inconsideration flow all Vicious and Immmoral Actions But this by the By. Thus Psalm 4.4 What curbs and restrains a Man from the Commission of any wicked Act A withdrawing into his Chamber and there communing with his own Heart such a Solitude such a private Retirement and Communing darts the most powerful and auspicious Influence upon the Hearts of Men Stand in awe and sin not commune with your own Hearts upon your Beds and be still Thus in the Gospel Who were they that heard the Word of God and were no better for it Such as heard it slightly and superficially such as suffered it not to enter into their Mind and Consideration Without Consideration it was impossible for it to take root and grow or to digest into Principles of Action some Seed indeed there was which arriv'd to maturity and perfection which was prosperous and fruitful but the reason was because it was sown in an honest and a good Heart such heard the Word and kept it i. e. Retain'd it in their Thoughts and Consideration and so brought forth Fruit with patience Luke 8.12 13 14 15. But thus much of the Benefit of Consideration I come now to the third Observable Namely To shew you what is meant by the Latter End which is the Object of the Consideration here in the Text Oh that they were wise that they understood this that they would consider their latter end That is as if he should have said Oh that they would see the things which belong unto their Peace Oh that the Evil I forewarn them of may deter them from avowed Wickedness and Impiety may oblige them to a constant Living up to the Precepts and Obligations of the Divine Laws If not Oh that the Judgments of God may convince them of their Errors and reclaim their Sins that they would stimulate and excite them to Repentance to a due sense and consideration what it is to sin against God to an understanding what will be the Event of persisting in Wickedness what will be the Reward of their Impenitence both in this Life and the Life to come so that by the Latter End is to be understood not only Death but what follows after Death the Judgment an Appearance before the dreadful Tribunal of Almighty God there to receive a Reward or a Punishment proportionable to what we have transacted upon the Stage of this World Oh that all you who hear me this day would understand and consider this great and certain Truth That it is not only appointed unto all men once to die but after this the Judgment This is the import this is the signification of the Latter End Death is our Latter End but the Resurrection the future Judgment is a Latter End beyond it The Soul is of an immortal Nature incapable of any Cessation can never cease to be the Body must naturally die it 's noble Frame and admirable Contexture must be dissolved and taken in Pieces it must return to its original Dust and Corruption tho this is but a transitory and temporal Death this is reparable by a Resurrection it must certainly be raised again and be re-united to the Soul and share with it in whatever state or Condition it shall be sentenced unto if it hath not served God but the Devil it shall then suffer a second Death after its reunition to the Soul they shall both be depress'd into a state of Misery a State where are endless and easeless Torments a Misery which is not Temporal or Transitory but durable and permanent to all Eternity and who can dwell with everlasting burnings Whosoever is wise will consider this Men and Brethren let me use the Strain of the Holy Apostle to King Agrippa Acts 26.27 Do you believe the Scriptures Do you believe a Resurrection a Judgment to come I know you believe it May I say I know you remember it This I dare say that if you do not I know you have no cause not to remember it A thing of the highest Importance a thing of the greatest Concernment that ever will befall you a thing that is most sure and certain a thing that you can as little avoid as you can avoid Death and a thing that must determin of your Eternal State and do you not remember it I am sure we have all cause to remember it we have all the reason imaginable to understand and consider our Latter End If there be any here of a Sadducean Temper that deny the Resurrection or with the Corinthian Naturalist question How are the Dead raised up And with what Body do they come Such are foolish and inconsiderate such Questions flow from Incogitancy and Indiscretion such are horribly deceived and they will find themselves grosly mistaken for there will be a Resurrection
