This sense teacheth us, That man is destroyable every moment. He wastes in one sense, while he grows, and dies from the morning of his birth and coming into the world, to the evening of his return and going out of the world: And not only so, but he ⟨p. 156⟩is obnoxious to the violent assaults of death every day, and all hours of every day: From the morning when he rises, to the evening when he goes to bed, he walks among armies of dangers, and within the Gunshot of destruction. The Apostles catalogue of perils is true to this day. 2 Cor. 11. 26. In perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of mine own countrymen, in perils by the Heathen, in perils in the City, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren: Every place is a peril, and every person a peril. Where can we go, with whom can we meet, and not go among or meet with perils? And do not all these perils speak destruction from morning to evening? Pauls experiences, both in regard of a natural, but especially of violent death, brought forth these conclusions, which come full up to the point. I die daily, (1 Cor. 15 31.) in deaths often (2 Cor. 11. 23.) we are killed all the day long, (Rom. 8. 36.)
