The works of George Swinnock, M.A

He that dieth ill, dieth ever, he is killed with death. He that goeth awry when he goeth out of the world, shall never come back to recall or amend his steps. If I am a conqueror now, I am a conqueror for ever; if I am foiled now, I am foiled for ever. Cowards will sight desperately when they are in extremity, and must either kill or be killed. The Historian saith of Cn. Piso, a confederate of Catiline's, that though he had an ⟨p. 674⟩heart like an Hare, yet he could sight like a Lyon, when he apprehended a necessity of fighting for his life. O that my pains, my diligence, may be answerable to my peril and my danger; Lord, when that day and hour draweth near, that I must go hence and be no more seen, do thou draw near in boundless mercy to my poor soul; When I must enter into the Chambers of death, and make my bed in the grave, save me from the paws of Satan, and the power of Hell, that the bottomless pit may not shut her mouth upon me; and give me to triumph in that hour of tribulation, as knowing that neither tribulation, nor persecution, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor life, nor death, can separate me from thy love, which is in Christ Jesus my Lord.
