living What man is he that liveth and shall not see death As well the Wise man as the Fool. All things that are of the Earth shall turn to Earth again Thou art dust saith God to Adam and in him to all Mankind and to dust shalt return It is the Ordinance of the Lord over all flesh But though it be certain in it self yet in respect of the time and manner it is uncertain For which cause our Saviour gave his Disciples counsel to be prepared for it Watch for ye know not the day nor hour Be prepared for the Son of Man will come at an hour when ye think not like a thief in the night The time of our departure is uncertain whether it shall happen in our infancy child-hood youth or age All men live not while they are old all men dye not while they are young And many times Death cometh unexpectedly suddenly in our greatest security Dies aderit cum vives manè vesperi autem non vives There will come a day when thou shalt be alive in the morning and dead before night God hath hid from us the certainty of our end lest we should promise to our selves any thing for the future And as the time so the manner is uncertain Some dye in their beds Others perish by fire sword water c. We have but one way to enter into this world divers to depart from it 3. In it self it is also terrible Omnium terribilium terribilissimum Mors. Of all terrible things Death is most dreadful Our Saviour Christ began to be heavy c. But to mankind in divers respects it is terrible All occasioned by the Devils malice Either he bringeth the parties dying 1. Into despair and fear for Gods Judgements 2. Into security for their own Merits 3. Into impatience by anguish of their sickness 4. Into infidelity by causing a mistrust in Gods mercies 5. Into worldy cogitations about leaving and disposing of their worldly estate Or 6. Vain hope to recover their former health Dura mente abesse mors longè creditur etiam dum sentitur To a heart that is hardned Death is thought to be farthest off even when it is felt to approach The Devil is come down to you which hath great wrath knowing that he hath but a short time Thus much for the temporal death the continual remembrance whereof is so necessary as nothing more Nemo memoriam mortis habens potest peccare He that thinketh continually that he must dye doth not easily sin 2. But to speak more properly Death in it self were not terrible nor evil but a passage from this life to a better a rest from our labours were it not for the Accompt which is to be given of our life past and the Iudgement which dependeth on it and followeth it For to fall into the hands of the living God in the worst sense that is to hear his heavy sentence pronounced against our sins is a fearful thing The thought of this made the holy man Iob himself to cry O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave that thou wouldest keep me secret until thy wrath be past The terror of it is so great that if we seriously consider it Our flesh would scarce cleave to our bones Quoties diem illum confidero tolo corpore contremisco sive enim comedo sive bibo sive aliquid aliud facio semper videtur mihi tuba illa terribilis insonare in auribus surgite mortui venite ad judicium As often as I seriously consider of the day of death I tremble all my body over for whether I eat or drink or whatsoever else I do me-thinks that terrible Trump sounds in mine ears Arise ye dead and come to judgement Gods judgements are fearful as they are sometimes executed in this world Our first Parents for their sin were expelled Paradise Deprived of Original Righteousness Made lyable to Condemnation and became Children of wrath Subject to divers miseries and labours He spared not the Angels that sinned but cast them down to Hell c. How did he sweep away as it were the Sons of Men from the face of the Earth by the Deluge How did he destroy Sodom and Gomorrah Did not the Egyptians miserably perish in the Red Sea What Vengeance did he take on the Israelites for worshipping the Golden Calf and for murmuring against Moses The Scriptures are plentiful in this kind But yet these judgements are not to be paralleled with those after Death In respect of God Omnipotent Highly Offended Justly Punishing Iust Highly Offended Justly Punishing Wise Highly Offended Justly Punishing Good Highly Offended Justly Punishing In respect of Man Weak Offending his Creator Suffering just Punishment Sinful Offending his Creator Suffering just Punishment Wretched Offending his Creator Suffering just Punishment In respect of the Sentence it self which inflicts a punishment sensible for the pain and misery felt and prejudicious for the glory lost 1. He being Omnipotent will be able to execute his vengeance on his Enemies neither shall any deliver them from him He is mighty in strength who hath resisted him and prospered He is exalted by his power no Law-giver like him In making Laws just and holy In exacting the due execution of them In power to punish the breakers of them Fear ye not me will ye not tremble at my presence Fear him who is able to destroy both body and soul. If he whet his glittering sword and his hand take hold on judgement Who is able to abide it Though we be delivered from the judgement of Man yet we cannot escape the hand of the Almighty His Courts are so high so transcendent and his Iudgements so definitive that no appeal lyeth from them We must rest upon his doom and go no further 2. Being Iust he will punish the Breakers of his Commandements For though he be merciful in abundant measure to pardon the iniquities of penitent transgressors yet he is just also to punish the wickedness of obstinate Malefactors Multus ad ignoscendum multus ad ulcìscendum As he is plentiful in pardon and forgiveness so is he as plentiful in revenge He hateth sinners and will repay vengeance to the ungodly He neither perverteth Iudgement nor subverteth Iustice. Nullum bonum irre●●u eratum nullum malum impunium Quanquam Sera tamen certa Numiuis vindicta Lento gradu ad vindictam sui divira proceditira tarditatem supplicii gravitate compensat Nemo impunè malus There shall no good act go unrewarded nor any evil unpunished For though God be slow yet he is sure in his revenge God ballanceth his slow proceeding in anger with the grievousness of his punishment We know that a Bow the farther drawn shoots farthest And this we must hold for a firm Maxime and Conclusion that Nemo impunè malus There shall no wicked
