Oh how will you wish in that day when your sins shall be charged on you, when justice shall be armed against you, when conscience shall be gnawing within you, when the world shall be a flaming fire about you, when the gates of Heaven shall be shut against you, and the flame of Hell ready to take hold of you, when ⟨p. 151⟩Angels and Saints shall sit in judgement upon you, and for ever turn their faces from you, when evil spirits shall be terrifying of you, and Jesus Christ for ever disowning of you, how will you (I say) wish in that day that you had never been born, or that you might now be unborn, or that your mothers wombs had proved your Tombs? O how will you then wish to be turned into a bird, a beast, a stock, a stone, a Toad, a Tree! O that our immortal souls were mortal, O that we were nothing, 1O that we were any thing but what we are.
