Ever with the Lord: Use 5 It may, serve as a sovereign cordial against the fear of death; man having an immortal soul, naturally desireth and breatheth after eternity; but man in his corrupt estate, being ignorant and mindless of a blessed eternity with God, is not willing to dye, to leave the shore of this life, and to venture upon the unknown immense Ocean of eternity, therefore the ungodly mans soul is said to be taken from him, Luke 12.20. Thou fool, this night shall thy soul be required of thee. Sinners do not willingly part with their souls, they are torn out of their bodies by violent hands, none but a Paul (who is ballasted with the hope of everlasting cohabitation with the Lord) can desire [Greek or Hebrew] to loose from the shore, to hoist up sail, and make for the heavenly Canaan. And well may he, that hath made a rich (though stormy) voyage to the Indies, set sail for his own native Country, where he may sit down in peace, and enrich himself with the gain of his adventure.
