19 Study often and often the quatuor novissima, the four last things, Death, Judgement, Hell, and Heaven. The meditation of Death, will prepare you for Death: The meditation of Heaven, will make you heavenly-minded: The meditation of Hell, will keep you from Hell:1 Therefore Bernard persuades us to go often down to Hell by meditation while we live, and we shall not go down to it when we dye.
