Two treatises the first of death, on I Cor. 15:26, the second of judgment…

3. And to the unpardoned unrenewed soul, Death is the passage to everlasting misery, and in this regard is far more terrible, than in all that hitherto hath been spoken. Oh could the guilty soul be sure that there is no Justice to to take hold on it after death, and no more pain and sorrow to be felt, but that man dieth as a beast, that hath no more to feel or lose then Death would seem a tolerable evil. But its the living Death, the dying Life, the endless ⟨p. 9⟩woe, to which death leads the guilty soul, that makes it to be unspeakably terrible. The utter darkness, the unquenchable fire, the worm that dieth not, the everlasting flames of the wrath of God, these are the chief horror and sting of death, to the ungodly. O were it but to be turned into Trees or Stones, or Earth, or nothing, it were nothing in comparison of this. But I pass by this, because it is not (directly) intended in my Text.

4. The Saints themselves being sanctified but in part, are but imperfectly assured of their Salvation▪ And therefore in that measure as they remain in doubt, or unassured, Death may be a double terror to them. They believe the threatenings, and know more than unbelievers do, what an sufferable […] it is to be deprived of the celestial glory and what an unspeakable misery it is, to bear the endless wrath of God! And therefore so far as they have such fears, it must needs make death a terror to them.
