XI. Oh let all tremble at that thought, That puts on God the lye, ⟨p. 3⟩That saith Men shall turn into nought, When they be sick and dye.
XII. Alas, Death is but as the Door, Through which all men do pass, To that which they for evermore Shall have by Wrath or Grace.
XIII. Let all therefore that read my Lines, Apply them to the Heart, Yea, let them read, and turn betimes, And get the better part.
XIV. Mind therefore what I treat on here; Yea, mind and weigh it well; 'Tis Death and Judgment, and a clear Discourse of Heaven and Hell.
