As a tree when it is cut down, whether it fall to the South, or to the North, remaineth there still: so howsoever death taketh thee, in whatsoever state or condition, thou remainest in the same. If the Lord find thee in the South, that is to say fruitful, and rich in good works, it is happy for thee: If in the North, that is to say, with no good works, woe to thee. Howsoever thou shalt be found, so thou shalt be judged, so thou shalt receive also.
