There is a great dis-agreement in the lives of the holy and unholy; but O what a vast difference is there in their deaths! they are like two parallel lines; how far soever they go together, they never touch in a point. Their ways differ, and therefore their ends must necessarily differ: Every mans end is virtually in his way; their ways differ as much as light and darkness, and therefore their ends must differ as far as heaven and hell. The one walketh in his own ⟨p. 56⟩ways, Prov. 14.14. in the ways of his own heart, Eccles. 7.9. in the broad way of the flesh and the world, Matth. 7.13. and so his end is damnation, Phil. 3.19. his latter end is, that he shall be destroyed, 1for ever, Numb. 24.20. The other walketh in the way of the Lord, Psal 119.1. in the way of his testimonies, ver. 14. in the narrow way of self-denial, mortification, and crucifying the flesh, Ma•t. 7.14. and so his end is peace, Psal. 37.37.
