When Hezechia was like to die, Isaiah said unto him,1 Set thy things in order before thou die. That which he advised him, he adviseth all, set your things in order before you die. What is this to set things in order, but to restore unto every one his own? When thou bequeathest thy body to the earth, then thy body is set in order: when thou bequeathest thy soul to God, then thy soul is set in order: when thou bequeathest thy goods to the owners: then thy goods are set in order: therefore if thou die with other mens goods in thy hand, then thou diest before thou hast set things in order, and then thou diest in thy sins, and then no promise in all the scripture appertaineth unto thee, because nothing is promised unto sinners, but unto penitent sinners.
When Hezechia was like to die, Esay said vnto him,1 Set thy things in order before thou die. That which hee aduised him, he aduiseth all, set your things in order before you die. What is this to set things in order, but to restore vnto euerie one his owne? When thou bequeathest thy bodie to the earth, then thy bodie is set in order: when thou bequeathest thy soule to God, then thy soule is set in order: when thou bequeathest thy goods to the owners: then thy goods are set in order: therefore if thou die with other mens goods in thy hand, then thou diest before thou hast set things in order, and then thou diest in thy sinnes, and then no promise in all the scripture appertaineth vnto thee, because nothing is promised vnto sinners, but vnto penitent sinners.
