If thou missest at all when thou diest, thou missest for all and for ever: An error then can never be mended; there can be no second throw cast, no second Edition come forth to correct the errors of the former; but the great work for which thou wert born not being done, thou art undone to eternity; and then (as godly ⟨p. 126⟩men befool themselves in this world, while they live, Psal. 73.2. for their corruption, so) thou wilt befool thy self in the other world, when thou diest for thy presumption, Jer. 17.11. that thou shouldst think the rotten props of a little profession of a few outward privileges, and inward good meanings (as thou callest them) could bear the weight of thy soul and thine endless state, that thou shouldst build so slightly for a dwelling of perpetuity. Set thy heart therefore to all the words that I speak unto thee; for it is not a vain thing, but it is for thy life, Deut. 32.46, 47.
