We read of Belshazzar, Dan. 5. 4, 5. that when he tasted the wine, he commanded to bring the gold and silver vessels taken out of the Temple; then they brought the gold and silver vessels, and drank wine, and praised the gods of gold and silver. He was very jovial: but in the midst of his cups and joviality, woe to the Wicked; for in the same hour there came forth the fingers of a Mans hand, and wrote over against the Candlestick on the wall a curse and woe. Woe to the wicked; let a sinner live till he be a hundred years old, yet still he is accursed, Isaiah 23. 20. Though a sinner live a hundred years old, yet shall he die accursed; his grey hairs have a curse upon them.

Secondly, It shall be ill with the wicked at the hour of death, & that in two respects; Death puts an end to all his comforts, and death is a beginning of all his miseries.
First, Death puts an end to a Sinner's comforts. There shall be no more indulging of the Flesh, and pampering of it; no more cups of Wine, and no more Music to be seen or heard then. In
