II. Temporal. Proskaira. Used four times in the New Testament; twice concerning temporary Believers: Matth. 13.21. but dureth for a while. Mat. 4.17. dureth but for a time: Once concerning the pleasure of sin, Heb. 11.25.—then to enjoy the pleasures of Sin for a season; 8• in the Text comprehensively of all visible things; take then a summary account of all, that Wicked, worldly men have ⟨p. 10⟩and all is but for a while. What the richest among them have, their grandeur dureth but for a time, and then is past and gone, and hath no more existence. What the merriest among them have, Pleasures, Mirth, carnal Delights and Joy, and this is but for a season; their merry bouts will be quickly over, and then succeeds weeping and wailing for ever. What the best among them have, even their Faith is but for a time, and their Hope but for a short time; at longest 'tis Death shall close their Eyes, and then by down in Everlasting despair; that all their comings in, whether profits from the World, or pleasures, from their Sin, or supposed happiness from their supposed Graces have their goings out; that upon all they have, you may write, all is temporal They had Riches, but they are •one. Honours and Pleasure, but they are gone. Many good things in time, but at the ••d of time, all have an end, & then when their endless misery […] this will be their doleful tune, all our good is past and gone.
