Death will seal a Lease of ejectment, and turn thee out of all thy possessions, and death will give thee a bill of divorce, and separate thee from all thy relations. The relations of Husband and Wife, Parents and children, are calculated only for the Meridian of this world, and shall not out-live ⟨p. 67⟩this life. Thy dear husband, or thy loving wife, and thy most dutiful children, will all serve thee as Orpah did Ruth, 1follow thee while thou art full, but forsake thee when thou shalt be empty; cleave to thee in thy health and life, but leave thee in thy greatest danger at death: and thy birth and breeding, honour and respect will serve thee in the like kind; they are but a shadow which will not be seen when the Sun of thy life is set. The great distinctions in the other world, will be holy or unholy, not noble or ignoble.
