A. That man dieth not as Beasts die; which are under no Moral Law, and therefore capable of no sin, but must come to Judgment after Death. Eccles. 3.21. Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth? Heb. 9.27. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the Judgment.

Q. 9. What is the third Inference hence?
A. That though the actions of men naturally considered, are transient, yet their consequences and effects are permanent; An act is soon done, a word soon spoken, a thought soon thought; but when done, spoken or thought, they are placed to account. Gal. 6.7, 8. Be not deceived, God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall be also reap; for he that soweth to the flesh, shall of the flesh rea• corruption; but he that soweth to the spirit, shall of the spirit reap life everlasting.
