14. God expects that London should retain great impressions of Eternity. You have had the door of Eternity set wide open in your view, when so many were thronging in at the door, and I believe you had deeper apprehensions of Eternity in those days, than ever you had in your lives; take heed that those impressions do not wear off, and that you lose not those apprehensions, especially when you are drawing every day nearer and nearer thereunto. Think often of the vast Ocean of Eternity without bottom or bank on the other side, into which the whole stream of time will empty it self; and how quickly the small rivulet of your appointed days may fall into it: Think often of the unalterable state of Joy or Misery, which you must enter into at the end of your course: think how thin and short the pleasures of sin are in this life, in comparison of the horrible and endless torments of hell; and how light and momentaneous the afflictions of Gods people are here, in comparison with the exceeding and eternal weight of glory prepared for them in Heaven, 2 Cor. 4. 17.
