you heard him say Fall not ought by the way These were the Words left in a solemn manner by a dying Man and I hope you and we all shall the more regard them upon that Account Excellent Advice he has given us God give us the Grace to take it It is necessary to be considered by many People in the World That to their own Reproach never Quarrel more than about the Last Will and Testament of a Departed Friend and make that an Occasion of long and troublesome Suits at Law which was designed to put an End to all Controversies and Debates But there is not the least Cause to fear any thing of this from any of you you have not so learned Christ Go on in your peaceable Carriage and Behaviour and the God of Peace shall be with you and he himself will supply this and all your other Wants Secondly To those Young Men that were the Acquaintance of the Deceased Mr. Dunwell Oh what Cause have you to admire the Petience and Goodness of God that when so many are snatch'd away that you have known he still suffers you to Live when many that were both Healthful and Stronger and Younger than you but a while agoe are at their Journey 's End and you are still Travelling in the Way You have yet Opportunities and days of Grace wherein to work out your Salvation and to prepare for another World and let me desire you that are as yet in your Flourishing and Greenest Youth not to put afar off the Evil Day do not grieve the Spirit of God do not misimprove your Sabaths nor lose your Opportunities for you may be near very near to your latter end in a Week or a Fortnight or a Months time you may be also in your Eternity It is yet Morning with you and as yet 't is a clear Day but Storms will overtake you and for ought you know your Sun may go down at Noon Oh! learn to be Wise in the Time of Health for Sickness is not the most proper Season wherein to do any thing for your Souls your uneasiness your disorder and your pains will then be so great that you 'll find your Selves unable to do any thing that requires much Thought and Care those of us that have been Sick can tell you this by our own said Experience an those that are now Sick will Confirm to you the very same thing Think you hear this your Departed Friend saying to you Oh! do not presume upon having a very long Life for you see God has cut me off in the midst of my Days Oh! never think that you can too soon be Religious or that you can do too much for God for he is worthy to be Served Whilest you mind the World Oh! take heed that you do not forget Heaven and Eternal Glory Remember that your Time hastens on apace Oh! Remember that Sickness will come to you as it came to me restless Nights and weary Days will be your Lot as they were mine a while ago Death will soon knock at your Door as he knockt at mine and painful Agonies will go before him and none but those that have felt them know what are the Pangs of Death O my Friends Do you know what it is to Die Do ye know what it is to appear before the Tribunal of an Omniscient and Infinitely Holy God and will you not make ready for it Oh! repent of all your Follies Pray in Secret Examin any Try your selves and put your Souls in Order that it may be well with you for ever-more I beg of you that are Young to consider the Example and the Practice of our Deceased Friend he was not of their Temper that spend all their Mony on their Cloaths or in Games and Taverns and needless and unprofitable Recreations but gave some part of what he had to Encourage and Promote the Gospel he was which I put upon him as a peculiar Mark of Honour a great Friend to young Ministers he knew tho many others never considered it that the young Men came to appear in the World with great Discouragements and after having undergone many great and sharp Necessities and he always was ready to assist them what he could and I question not but therein he performed an acceptable Service unto God When we had a Lecture in Exchange-Ally he was forward to help us all he could there and the continuance of many Years and very rugged and severe Times never changed his Temper but as he was then so he continued to be our Friend to his Dying day He gave us more than a Cup of cold Water and I hope he has now a Prophet's Reward And are there none of you that might save a great deal of Mony from needless Expences from Luxury and Rior and Recreation to encourage the Ministers of the Gospel And I think I might say to those Young-men that are our constant Hearers that I hope it would be no dishonour to them hereafter to be called Encouragers of the Lecture at Crosby-Square and I would not speak only to the Young but to the Aged and the Rich it would more Honour your Memory and make your Slumbers in the Grave more quiet if you made your own Hands Executors and gave yearly such a part of your Estate to the Maintenance of poor Young Scholars and Ministers You do not know but by that means you might promote the Conversion of many Souls which would be your Joy in the day of the Lord As for you that are Aged bless God that you have so long a Day and see that your Sins be not more than those of others that have a shorter date Here is a Young Man dead in the middle of his Days and so have you seen many others die Oh! take heed that you be not old in Sin take heed that all your work be done for your Clock begins to point to the concluding Twelve your Glass has remaining in it but a very little Sand your Sun is going down the Shadows of the Evening are stretched out upon the Mountains and in a few Moments it will be Night with you when you cannot Work Take heed that when the Grave opens to receive you your Sins do not lye down with you in the Dust To all of you that are here let this Warning be of Use Our Friend a few Weeks ago was a constant Attender in this Congregation and now he is at his long Home He used to sit with Reverence and Seriousness in this Place but now he will never see us nor we him till the great Day He that silled a Seat here does now fill a Grave a Coffin holds him there whom nothing could detain from Religious Assemblies while he was alive But we hope that he is gone to a better a more enlightned a more loving and a more pure Assembly even the Assembly of the First-born and the Spirits of just Men made perfect His Relations have lost a loving Relation his

Friends a kind Acquaintance his Servants a good Master and we a liberal Benefactor and we may justly cry and say O Death thou dost indeed make great spoil and havock in the World thou dost visit every Family and every Person at one time or other thou art so cruel that thou sparest neither Young nor Old neither the Useless nor the Serviceable neither the Profitable nor Unprofitable Servant Our Sin has indeed given thee all thy Power and made thee look with a formidable Aspect to Flesh and Blood but because thou art so formidable we turn our Eyes from thee and look with more pleasure upon that Blessed Redeemer that has disarmed thee of all thy hurtful Power and that will give us Life when thou hast exercised all thy Rage and done the very worst he dyed that that such as believe might never die We cannot but somewhat fear thee O Death as thou dost dissolve our present Frame but we bid thee welcome as thou art the Messenger of the Lord of Glory to convey us thither To Conclude It is like that we who are in this Assembly upon this occasion shall never meet again Oh that We and all our Acquaintance might meet in Heaven above And let us be sure not to Fall out in our Way thither Let us while we live in a changeable and fading World prepare for one that will never fade Let us not be amazed at the Grave it now swallows us up and our Friends but it shall not keep us very long for our Lord will shortly come and make our Dust to live again and make those Bodies that were weakned by Sickness and destroyed by Death to be like his own glorious Body and what we now believe we shall then see and know to be true In the mean while let us make Conscience of Meditating at the least once a day upon that Comfortable and Reviving Place of our Apostle 1 Thes 4.14 and so to the end For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep For the Lord himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout with the Voice of the Archangel and with the Trump of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the Clouds to meet the Lord in the Air and so shall we be ever be with the Lord. Wherefore Comfort one another with these Words I conclude this Subject with the Prayer of the same Apostle 2 Thes 3.16 Now the Lord of Peace himself give you Peace always by all Means The Lord be with you all THE END Books lately Printed for John Dunton at the Raven in the Poultry viz.
