Again I'll only name one sign more; what sayest thou to this, that man that spends his days without having some fear, least God should put him off with the things of this world: there may be some danger of that; it is said of some, that they feed themselves without fear;1 you can go to a merry meeting, and feed upon the cheer, and eat without fear; but never have such a thought as this in your heart, what if God should put me off with these things? I hear indeed there are some men are put of so, what if that should prove to be my portion what a ⟨p. 98⟩miserable creature were I? I fear there were some men never had such a thought in their lives, what if it should prove so with me, what a miserable creature were I.
