and deaths properation, prevents their preparation. Job 21.13. They spend their days in mirth, and in a moment go down to the grave. This was that Cosmopolites presumption, Luk. 12.19. Soul, eat, drink, and be merry: but he reckoned without his host. Corah was suddenly swallowed, Ishbosheth slain a sleep, 2 Sam. 4.7. The house fell upon Jobs children at a banquet. Ananias and Sapphira were put out like a candle new lighted, and that in stench. Job 24.24. They are exalted for a little while, and cut off as the tops of the ears of Corn. When the thought of death is furthest, the stroke of death is nearest. Cesar desired a sudden death: as he desired, as he deserved, so he had it, Naturalists that love the avoidance of pain, and have no hope of future blessedness, desire a sudden dissolution. For my part, my prayer shall be with our Church. From battle, and murder, and from sudden death, Good Lord deliver me.
