Secondly, My second Advice and Counsel unto you is this; That you would live, as you would die; live to day, as if you must dye to morrow. ⟨image 162⟩Let me a•k you, would you be content to dye in the state you are in? If my Soul doth not desire to be in a better state when I come to dye, than now I am in, I may very well sit down satisfied; if not, then surely it greatly concerns me to look after a better. Would any man be content to dye a Drunkard? I ask you that are Drunkards, I do believe you will answer no; why then do you live in Drunkenness? How know you that God will spare you when you are drunk, until you are sober again? We may read of many that have dyed in their drunken fits. God doth not always send his Herald to warn thee, before he sends his Serjeant to arrest thee. How knowest thou but Death may strike thee on a sudden? What will then become of thy Soul? Oh Beloved, I beseech you live not in that you are unwilling to dye in. Balaam was not such a Wretch, but he could cry our, Good Lord, let me dye the death of the righteous.
