Is not the Scripture (O my soul) frequent in the mention of Eternity? These shall go into everlasting punishment, 1but the righteous into life eternal: —Their worm shall not dye, their fire never shall be quenched: 2—Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire: —Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him, shall never thirst, but the water that I shall give him, shall be in him a well of water, springing up into eternal life: — We know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens: — Surely he shall not be moved for ever, 3the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance: 4—They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness, as the stars for ever and ever.
