Warnings from the dead. Or Solemn admonitions unto all people

First, If you would know, WHEN, the Displeasure of God shall break upon the Heads of ungodly Sinners, You are here informed, They Die in Youth. It seems, That an Early Death, a Death in the Prime, and Spring of their Days, is that whereunto they make themselves Obnoxious. In the Original tis, Their Soul Dyeth; so that it is a Spiritual and an Eternal, as well as a Temporal Death, which is to come upon them In Youth:—Some Read it, In a Tempest, or With a Shaking: and thus, it notes their coming to a Death, which may be called Violent; some Storm or Stroke of the Divine Anger, shall Violently hurry them out of the World. And there are who so Translate it, They Die Rearing; as if, their Death were to be […] with such Rearing Distresses as Wretches upon the Gallows ⟨p. 39⟩use to be Turned over with. Be sure, Tis a Woeful Death, as well as an Early one, that abides those who give themselves up to the Courses of Remarkable ungodliness.

Secondly, If you would know WHY, these ungodly Sinners are thus, overwhelmed, with the Indignation of God, You are here advised, Their Life is among the Unclean. It may be rendered, Among the Sodomites: and it is possible, that here may be an Allusion to the Destruction, that came upon the Sodomites, when our Lord Jesus Christ, giving a Type of the Conflagration which He will shortly make upon this Earth Rained from Heaven the Vengeance of Eternal Fire, upon the Cities which He Spared not. q. d. They are for their Abominable Uncleanness, just like what the Young people in Sodom were; and therefore God shall in their Youth seize them with Snares, Fire, and Brimstone, & an Horrible Tempest. You may see however, That Uncleanness is a most remarkable instance of Ungodliness: to say of one, He is Unclean, is to say, He is very Wicked. Receive then the Doctrine, which requires to be Lodged in your Meditations.
