Reader, if thou art dead in thy sins, and unacquainted with this spiritual life, which I have before described, nothing of that endless gain which the godly shall enjoy at death, belongs to thee; none of that fullness of joy, of those rivers of pleasures, of that eternal weight of glory shalt thou partake of; I may say to thee, as Simon Peter to Simon Magus, thou hast no part, nor ••t in this matter, for thine heart is not right in the sight of God: Thou mayest like the mad-man at Athens, lay claim to all the ⟨p. 60⟩vessels that come into the haven; but the vessels of the promises richly laden with the treasures of grace and love, do not at all appertain to thee. If like a dog thou snatchest at the children's bread, thou art more bold than well-come, and wilt one day be well beaten for thy presumption. Reader, if thou art unregenerate and so diest, look to thy self, for thy lot must fall on this side the promised Land. Thou mayest like a Surveyor of Land, take a view of another's Manor, and bring a return, how stately the house is, how pleasant the gardens, how delightful the walks, how fruitful the Pastures, how finely it's seated, how fully it's wooded, how sweetly it is watered, how fitly it is every way accommodated: but as long as the Pronoun is wanting, it can be but little comfort, it is none of thine. So thou mayst read, and hear much of that comfort, joy and richness of that incomparable Kingdom, which the holy shall immediately upon their deaths enter into; but what is all this to thee, when thou must be without it for ever? thou mayst see Abram afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom, but between him and thee, there will be a great gulf.

Reader, if thou art unregenerate and so diest, look to thy self, for thy lot must fall on this side the promised Land. Thou mayest like a Surveyour of Land, take a view of anothers Mannor, and bring a return, how stately the house is, how pleasant the gardens, how delightful the walks, how fruitful the Pastures, how finely it's seated, how fully it's woodded, how sweetly it is watered, how fitly it is every way accommodated: but as long as the Pronoun is wanting, it can be but little comfort, it is none of thine. So thou mayst read, and hear much of that comfort, joy and richnesse of that incomparable Kingdome, which the holy shall immediately upon their deaths enter into; but what is all this to thee, when thou must be without it for ever? thou mayst see Abram afar off, and Lazarus in his bosome, but between him and thee, there will be a great gulf.
