Qu. 1. I pray ask these men, whether it be a Puritan or Fanatic opinion ⟨image 12⟩that men must dye? and what all the pomp, and wealth, and pleasure of the World will signify to a departing soul? Ask them whether they will live on Earth for ever, and their merry hours, and Lordly looks will have no end? And whether it be but the conceit of Hypocrites and Schismatics, that their Carcasses must lie rotting in a darksome grave?

Qu. 2. Ask them whether man have not an Immortal soul, and a longer life to live when this is ended? Luke 12. 41.
Qu. 3. Ask them whether reason require not every man, to think more seriously of the place or state where he must be for ever, than of that where he must be but for a little while, and from whence he is posting day and night. And whether it be not wiser to lay up our treasure where we must stay, than where we must not stay, but daily look to be called away, and never more be seen on earth?
