A45728	Heavens glory, and hells horror: or, the parable of Dives and Lazarus opened and applied Wherein, the everlasting joy of the saints and the endless torments of the wicked are discovered: for the confort of the one, and terror of the other.

bless_a saviour_n himself_o he_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o hole_n to_o lay_v his_o head_n in_o not_o a_o cradle_n to_o lie_v in_o when_o he_o be_v bear_v he_o who_o be_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n want_v bread_n to_o eat_v in_o this_o life_n he_o be_v a_o man_n of_o sorrow_n augment_v with_o grief_n con●emned_v and_o scorn_v by_o the_o world_n he_o who_o be_v lord_n both_o of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o hole_n to_o put_v his_o head_n in_o when_o he_o be_v upon_o earth_n lazarus_n who_o be_v now_o in_o abraham_n bosom_n be_v lay_v at_o the_o rich_a man_n gate_n and_o he_o who_o be_v then_o full_a of_o sore_n now_o know_v no_o sorrow_n he_o have_v all_o tear_n now_o wipe_v away_o from_o from_o his_o eye_n who_o may_v have_v cry_v his_o eye_n out_o for_o bread_n at_o the_o rich_a man_n gate_n they_o that_o know_v no_o want_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v may_v know_v nothing_o but_o want_n in_o this_o world_n in_o the_o next_o place_n as_o a_o addition_n to_o the_o life_n of_o they_o both_o we_o have_v the_o poor_a man_n humility_n and_o the_o rich_a man_n cruelty_n and_o this_o be_v first_o set_v forth_o by_o the_o smallness_n of_o that_o which_o lazarus_n desire_v only_o a_o few_o crumb_n he_o do_v not_o come_v to_o dives_n to_o beg_v any_o of_o his_o land_n or_o lordship_n neither_o any_o of_o his_o mess_n or_o costly_a dish_n have_v lazarus_n desire_v any_o of_o these_o he_o may_v have_v deny_v he_o as_o too_o hold_v you_o know_v we_o have_v a_o common_a proverb_n among_o we_o that_o beggar_n must_v not_o be_v chooser_n and_o it_o be_v not_o more_o common_a than_o true_a they_o that_o be_v true_o poor_a will_v be_v thankful_a for_o the_o least_o crumb_n for_o the_o small_a gift_n lazarus_n desire_v only_o to_o be_v feed_v with_o the_o crumb_n that_o fall_v from_o his_o table_n not_o his_o dainty_n and_o then_o second_o the_o rich_a man_n cruelty_n be_v here_o condemn_v by_o the_o compassion_n of_o his_o dog_n dive_v regard_v neither_o his_o hunger_n nor_o his_o sore_n but_o the_o d●gs_v they_o pity_v his_o wound_n they_o come_v and_o lick_v his_o sore_n they_o do_v what_o they_o can_v to_o ease_v his_o pain_n those_o cruel_a creature_n who_o nature_n be_v so_o fierce_a and_o cruel_a and_o apt_a to_o bite_v and_o devour_v they_o forget_v their_o wont_a cruelty_n and_o as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v labour_n to_o heal_v or_o ease_v the_o poor_a man_n sore_n it_o be_v not_o improbable_a but_o that_o the_o dog_n be_v let_v loose_a purposely_o to_o affrighten_v lazarus_n from_o his_o gate_n or_o else_o to_o devour_v he_o rich_a glutton_n usual_o keep_v such_o fierce_a and_o devour_a creature_n purposely_o to_o keep_v or_o frighten_v the_o poor_a from_o their_o gate_n but_o god_n can_v restrain_v the_o rage_n of_o the_o fierce_a creature_n to_o preserve_v his_o people_n he_o can_v shut_v the_o mouth_n of_o lion_n that_o they_o devour_v not_o daniel_n he_o can_v cause_v the_o dog_n contrary_a to_o their_o nature_n to_o lick_v the_o sore_n of_o lazarus_n in_o the_o next_o place_n we_o come_v to_o give_v you_o the_o death_n both_o of_o the_o beggar_n and_o the_o rich_a man_n and_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o beggar_n die_v god_n have_v now_o give_v he_o a_o writ_n of_o ease_n from_o all_o his_o sore_n no_o more_o sorrow_n nor_o pain_n now_o no_o more_o hunger_n nor_o cold_a nor_o nakedness_n god_n have_v release_v the_o poor_a man_n out_o of_o all_o his_o misery_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o death_n to_o the_o godly_a be_v a_o bless_a privilege_n it_o put_v a_o end_n to_o all_o their_o woe_n though_o heaviness_n may_v endure_v for_o a_o night_n yet_o joy_n come_v in_o the_o morning_n though_o poverty_n loss_n and_o disgrace_n and_o all_o kind_n of_o outward_a affliction_n may_v attend_v god_n people_n in_o this_o life_n yet_o when_o death_n come_v there_o be_v a_o end_n of_o all_o these_o in_o a_o word_n death_n be_v the_o best_a friend_n a_o child_n of_o god_n have_v next_o to_o jesus_n christ_n it_o do_v not_o only_o deliver_v they_o from_o their_o sorrow_n but_o it_o translate_v they_o to_o their_o joy_n it_o be_v the_o messenger_n of_o god_n their_o heavenly_a father_n who_o come_v only_o to_o call_v they_o home_o to_o their_o father_n house_n to_o inherit_v those_o everlasting_a joy_n which_o god_n have_v prepare_v for_o they_o to_o all_o eternity_n lazarus_n be_v not_o only_o release_v from_o his_o sorrow_n by_o death_n but_o he_o be_v carry_v by_o the_o angel_n into_o abraham_n bosom_n death_n take_v he_o from_o the_o woe_n of_o this_o world_n and_o the_o angel_n they_o transport_v he_o to_o everlasting_a glory_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v god_n have_v release_v lazarus_n from_o all_o his_o misery_n but_o what_o become_v of_o the_o glutton_n the_o rich_a man_n also_o die_v and_o be_v bury_v from_o whence_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o neither_o riches_n nor_o honour_n can_v prevent_v death_n he_o knock_v as_o well_o at_o the_o court_n as_o at_o the_o cottage_n he_o regard_v scarlet_a gown_n and_o purple_a robe_n no_o more_o than_o he_o do_v the_o poor_a beggar_n rag_n death_n deprive_v man_n of_o all_o their_o honour_n and_o riches_n the_o rich_a fool_n in_o the_o gospel_n he_o sing_v a_o requiem_n to_o his_o soul_n and_o this_o very_a night_n death_n come_v and_o then_o who_o be_v all_o these_o it_o be_v neither_o purple_a robe_n nor_o sumptuous_a apparel_n that_o can_v prevent_v death_n god_n cut_v off_o wicked_a man_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o their_o mirth_n and_o jollity_n in_o the_o grave_n there_o be_v no_o difference_n between_o the_o poor_a and_o the_o rich_a the_o worm_n may_v be_v find_v better_a fare_n upon_o the_o fat_a carcase_n of_o rich_a glutton_n then_o of_o the_o poor_a well_o the_o rich_a man_n he_o die_v also_o what_o become_v of_o he_o afterward_o his_o body_n that_o be_v honourable_o bury_v by_o his_o friend_n i_o but_o what_o become_v of_o his_o soul_n that_o you_o read_v be_v hurry_v into_o hell_n he_o be_v hury_v and_o in_o hell_n he_o lift_v up_o his_o eye_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v hereby_o signify_v that_o man_n be_v natural_o unwilling_a to_o see_v or_o take_v notice_n of_o their_o sad_a state_n i_o say_v by_o nature_n but_o though_o now_o they_o be_v willing_o ignorant_a yet_o in_o hell_n they_o shall_v lift_v up_o their_o eye_n that_o be_v in_o hell_n they_o shall_v see_v and_o understand_v their_o miserable_a condition_n and_o therefore_o to_o these_o word_n in_o hell_n he_o lift_v up_o his_o eye_n he_o add_v be_v in_o torment_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v though_o once_o they_o shut_v their_o eye_n though_o once_o they_o be_v willing_o ignorant_a yet_o when_o they_o depart_v into_o hell_n they_o shall_v be_v so_o miserable_o handle_v and_o torment_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v force_v to_o lift_v up_o their_o eye_n for_o while_o man_n live_v in_o this_o world_n and_o be_v in_o a_o natural_a state_n they_o will_v have_v a_o good_a conceit_n of_o themselves_o and_o of_o their_o condition_n they_o will_v conclude_v that_o they_o be_v christian_n and_o their_o state_n to_o be_v as_o good_a as_o the_o best_a they_o will_v conclude_v they_o have_v faith_n the_o spirit_n good_a hope_n and_o a_o interest_n in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o then_o when_o they_o drop_v into_o hell_n and_o lift_v up_o their_o eye_n there_o and_o behold_v first_o their_o soul_n to_o be_v in_o extreme_a torment_n their_o dwelling_n to_o be_v the_o bottomless_a pit_n their_o company_n thousand_o of_o damn_a soul_n also_o the_o innumerable_a company_n of_o devil_n and_o the_o hot_a scald_a vengeance_n of_o god_n not_o only_o to_o drop_v but_o to_o fall_v very_o violent_o upon_o they_o then_o they_o will_v begin_v to_o be_v awaken_v who_o all_o their_o life_n time_n be_v in_o a_o dead_a sleep_n i_o say_v when_o this_o come_v to_o pass_v as_o it_o will_v then_o in_o hell_n they_o shall_v lift_v up_o their_o eye_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o torment_n they_o shall_v lift_v up_o their_o eye_n again_o you_o may_v observe_v from_o these_o word_n and_o in_o hell_n he_o lift_v up_o his_o eye_n be_v in_o torment_n that_o the_o time_n of_o the_o ungodly_a man_n smart_v for_o their_o sin_n will_v be_v in_o torment_n of_o hell_n now_o here_o i_o be_o put_v to_o a_o stand_n when_o i_o consider_v the_o torment_n of_o hell_n into_o which_o the_o damn_a do_v fall_v o_o unspeakable_a torment_n o_o endless_a torment_n now_o that_o
