the Gospel who flattered his Soul with ease and plenty for a long time but found alass his Expectation failed for even that very night his Soul was required of him and then too fatally he found that he had troubled himself in gathering Riches and knew not who should enjoy them in gathering Riches that made themselves Wings and flew away and cou'd not had they been more permanent and durable have at all relieved him in his last and greatest necessity as you will find it in Luke 1. chap. 12. c. and though as we see the Rich Man whilst he lived upon Earth had all the Pleasures and Delights that the World could afford him he fared riotously every day and was clad in purple yet see how poorly these availed him for which he had strugled and laboured perhaps many years for being in Torment he had not a drop of Water to cool his tongue the Mammon of Unrighteousness that had barr'd him of Eternal Life cou'd not administer him the least relief when suffering under the divine Vengeance but rather increased with their sad remembrance his Torments in those flames Yet to these even through what Seas of Blood will some Men wade as if they were the chiefest of all good when indeed they bring a sting with them that pierces through the Body and wounds the very Soul too frequently destroying our peace on Earth and more frequently everlastingly causing the names of the too too fond Possessors who make their Bellies their God and put their trust in Riches to be blotted out of the Book of Life Oh that Men would be wise and consider this that they would consider upon the present Moments of Life depends Eternal Joys or Everlasting Woes and that it cannot profit a Man if he gain the whole World and loose his own Soul for with the immortal Soul what can stand in competition not all the glittering Glories of ten thousand worlds were they put in the Ballance would weigh any thing in the terrible day when the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his Saints to execute Judgement upon all and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all the Ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed c. Jude 1.14.15 if all the things so valued in this World cannot bribe Death which is the in let to Eternity much less can any expect that the impartial Judge of all the Earth should any way regard transitory things or that they should weigh in the least with him at whose disposal and in whose hands is all the breath of Life and who indeed is the very Centre of the Soul of Man and by whom it is alone comprehended so that the World can render it no satisfaction as to its Eternal estate nor is it capable of attaining for the least Transgression When the Lord Jesus shall b● revealed from Heaven with his mighty Angels in flaming Fire taking vengeance on those that know not God and obeyed not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ 2. Thessa 1.7.8 when those who conceived themselves securely fenced by Riches and Honour shall be tumbled by Death from a Bed of Downe into a Bed of Flames what relief can they hope for or expect from all they possessed which at most if any remembrance of temporal things be left beyond the Grave will prove but a Melancholly sight to shew them the height of Happiness from whence they fell and the depth of misery into which they are fallen especially if we consider what a dreadfull sentence is pronounced in the following verse of the foregoing chapter viz. Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the Presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power a destruction irrevocable not to be recalled but as long as God is God so long shall it continue infinite ages of Eternity and never expire for cou'd there be the least room for hope of ease to those in Torment though at the Revolution of Millions of years it would in some measure mitigate their pain but shou'd a heap of Sand be piled up to the Clouds and a Bird carry away a Grain every day a thousand such heaps so removed stand not in competition with the endless flight of never ending Eternity The consideration of which made St. Austin in a manner dwell upon the word Eternity by repeating it often that it might be ever in his mind to make him look up with the more earnestness to the Author and finisher of his Faith and oblige him to set the lighter esteem on temporal things remembring that he was a Stranger and Pilgrim upon Earth and that here he had no tarrying City but looked for one not built with hands in the highest Heaven on that alone then let us steadfastly fix our eyes and even deny our selves to the flatt'ring pleasures and vanities of the World that we may with the more ease run the Race that is set before us and strive with earnestness to obtain the Crown that is held forth to true Believers and to such as persevere to the end viz. Be thou faithfull until Death and I will give thee a Crown of Life Rev. 2.10 a Crown more valuable than ten thousand worlds or any thing on this side the fruition of the beatifick Vision the earnest desire of attaining which made Holy David say His Soul pan●ed after God as the Hart panted after the wate● Brook and in the midst of his Rapture crye● out O how amiable are thy Dwellings th● Lord of Hoasts my Soul longeth and panteth t● enter into thy Courts Psal 84.1.2 To conclude if Foelix who was a Heathe● tremb●ed when Paul reasoned of Righteousness Temperance and Judgment to come let us that are Christians consider what manner of men we ought to be if we expect to stand in the day when the Sun shall be darkned and the Moon shall not give her light and the Stars shall fall from Heaven and the Powers of the Heaven shall be shaken for then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in Heaven and then shall all the Tribe● of the Earth mourn and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the Clouds of Heaven with Power and great Glory and he shall send his Angels with a great sound of a Trumpet and they shall gather together the Elect from one end of Heaven to the other Mat. 24.29.30.31 for the which that we may be all right and fitly prepared Grant dear Jesus for thy Mercies sake Amen A Prayer for Sunday or the First day of the Week O Lord God great and glorious who by thy infinite Power and Wisedom after thou hadst made all things out of nothing in six days didst betake thy self to thy holy Sabbath of Rest and hast enjoyned us in a perpetual memorial so to keep it that it may be spent in praising thee and adoring thy Goodness for all thy Mercies and Benefits bestowed upon us Grant I beseech thee thy saving Grace to me the most unworthy
