Doctr. Though life be sweet, and to some men long, yea and comfortable all their days, yet let them remember that the days which are coming are many both of darkness and vanity. The sweetness of death is argued by even Peters loathness to die, even when an aged Christian, and the cause of death is honourable and grateful, John 21.18. Days of death and burial are days of darkness, Job 10.21, ⟨p. 245⟩22. And in hell the darkness is extreme, and everlasting; the darkness is outward or extreme, Matth. 22.13. notwithstanding the fire, Matth. 25.41. as a fire of Brimstone, Isaiah 30, 33.
