A78440	Balaam's wish: a sermon Wherein the vanity of desires without endeavours, in order to the obtaining the death of the upright, and their last end, is opened and applyed. First occasionally preached, and now at the request of some published. By an unworthy messenger of Christ.	Cawton, Thomas, 1637-1677.	1670 (1670)	Wing C1652; ESTC R225053	24,897	113

vitae inopes sed prodigi and yet live as if their lives were too long O methinks there is enough in the death and last end of the righteous to perswade you to the way of the upright Be therefore adding working to your wishing remember that of Paul Gal. 6.7 8. Be not deceived God is not mocked according as a man soweth so shall he also reap He that sowes to the flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption but he that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap life everlasting The meaning of the Apostle is plainly this that there is a consonancy betwixt a mans life and death such as his sowing is such shall his reaping be Lastly to conclude the whole this may be the comfort of such as do live the life as well as desire to dye the death of the upright that choose the former part as well as the latter end of the righteous for as the wicked go from a temporal life to an eternal death Vita ad mortem sic impius vivit mors ad vitam sic pius moritur so the righteous go from a temporal death to an eternal life their death is both precious to God and advantageous to temselves The righteous may welcome death for death to a righteous man though it parts two near friends Soul and Body yet it unites two better friends the Soul and its Saviour to all Eternity The Scripture records concerning Moses in the last Chapter of Deuteronomy Deut. 34.5 that Moses the servant of the Lord dyed according to the word of the Lord the words in the Hebrew are 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Moses dyed upon the mouth of the Lord The meaning is say the Jews l'Empereur paraph Jach in Dan. p. 258. Moses dyed kissing of God surely so it is with the Saints of God their Father gives them a kiss and so layes them down in the bed of the Grave therefore they that have lived righteously may at death smile themselves into a corpse for the body of a Godly man goes to his Lords bed and his soul to his Lords bosom the Grave is perfumed for his body and Heaven prepared for his soul I may say of righteousness as Solomon in a case not much differing Prov. 6.22 when thou goest it shall lead thee when thou sleepest it shall keep thee and when thou awakest it shall talk with thee that is according to the Gloss of the Rabbinical Interpreters 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 when thou goest it shall lead thee viz. in thy passage through this World when thou sleepest it shall keep thee viz. when thou lyest down in the Grave and when thou awakest it shall talk with thee viz. when thou art awakened at the glorious Resurrection Well then all ye that are upright in heart and life I bring you glad tydings of great joy Psal 58.11 Eccles 8.12 Verily there is a reward for the righteous and it shall be well with them that fear God that fear before him it shall be so well that none of you shall desire to have it better while the languid wishes of the wicked betray them to the pit of Perdition your holy and earnest endeavours shall deliver you into the Mansion of Glory 1 Cor. 15 ult your labour shall not be in vain in the Lord God is too good to suffer himself to be overcome in love Dieu est trop bon pour se laisser surmonter en amour it shall never be said there is more love in man to righteousness than there is love in God to the righteous Therefore comfort your selves with these words for you shall in this World certainly obtain a comfortable dissolution and in the other World a joyfull Resurrection You shall dye the death of the righteous and like unto his shall be your last END
