1. That we are all made for an Eternal State and Condition in blessedness or woe. Men may live like Beasts, and therefore wish that they might dye like them also; But we are all made with another design, and must all of us stand in our Eternal Lot at the end of the days, Dan. 12. 13.

2. That the unchangeable determination of our Eternal state depends on what we do in this Life. There is neither Wisdom, nor Knowledge, Duty, nor Obedience in the Grave whither we are going. As the Tree falls, so it must lye; It is appointed for all men once to dye and after that is the Judgement. Nothing interposeth to alter our state and condition between Death and Judgement. The contrivance of Purgatory when we are gone hence, was an Invention of Satan to delude the Souls of men with hopes of relief, when all means and ways of it were past and irrecoverable.
