That general Conclusions about death, 1should be enforced upon the soul by particular applications. Beloved, we should not only have general notions and empty speculations about death, but practical and particular conclusions concerning our death, such as may lay an awe upon the conscience. Thus in the case of the godly,2 said Eliphaz, Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of Corn cometh in his season; and then he adds, vers. 27. Lo this, we have searched it, hear it, and know thou it for thy good. General Conclusions that all must dye, must be enforced upon the soul with particular applications, to turn you from the world, to beget in you serious thoughts touching your future and eternal welfare. General truths do not carry that force upon the conscience, unless they are drawn by applicative inference; and therefore. Ps. 73. ult. The Psalmist saith not only It is good to draw near unto God, but it is good for me.

General Conclusions that all must dye, must be enforced upon the soul with particular applications, to turne you from the world, to beget in you serious thoughts touching your future and eternal welfare. General truths do not carry that force upon the conscience, unlesse they are drawn by applicative inference; and therefore. Ps. 73. ult.
