When thou shalt leave thy substance to others, this shall go along with thyself, into another world It is no wonder a slaughter ox be fed to the full, and is not toiled as others are, Job xxi. 30. The wicked is reserved to the day of destruction; they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath. Well then, Rejoice, let thine heart cheer thee; walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: live above reproofs and warnings from the word of God; show thyself a man of a fine spirit, by casting off all fear of God; mock at seriousness; live like thyself, a child of wrath, an heir of hell: But know thou, that for all these things, God will bring thee into judgment, Eccles xi 9. Assure thy self, thy breaking shall come suddenly, at an instant, Isa. x•. 13. For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of a fool, Eccl vii. 6. The fair blaze and great noise they make, is quickly gone; so shall thy mirth be. And then that wrath that is now silently sinking into thy soul, shall make a fearful hissing
