O When death shall approach the dwellings of the profane and hypocritical, and shall say I have a message unto thee from God, he hath commanded me to arrest thy soul, and to present it before his judgement seat: How doth the heart of a profane wretch gather into fear and horror, yea, and how doth fearfulness and confusions fly up in th• breast and countenance ⟨p. 228⟩of the hypocrite! his conscience delivers up his morsels from which he would not part, and shames and strikes him for his abominable collusions and Glosings in the service of God: reports unto him that he must presently stand before a God, who is spirit and truth, and never could abide unsoundness, but will be avenged of hypocrisy, good Lord! how the heart of this man trembles and sighs, he would thrust out the thoughts of dying, but cannot, he would stay a while longer here below, but may not; O! now he is gasping, trembling, sighing dying, and gives out life and all with heart-breaking despair: But now if the person be upright, even the message of death may be welcome. If the Lord calls for me, I may answer, here am I, O Lord, look upon me and accept of me in Christ: and Remember now, O Lord, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee, in truth and with a perfect heart; and have done that which is good in thy sight, I have fought a good fight, I have kept the faith, I have finished my Course, &c.
