An inlet to three dreadful things!
(Thomas Brooks, "A Heavenly Cordial" 1665)
Death is dreadful to the unbelieving
sinner, for it puts an everlasting end
to all his temporal . . .
mercies,
comforts,
contentments,
and enjoyments.
Death will put an everlasting end
to all his pleasures of sin. Now
the sinner shall never more
have one merry day.
In Hell there is no . . .
no singing--but howling;
no music--but madness;
no sporting--but sighing;
no dancing--but wringing of hands
and gnashing of teeth for evermore!
In a word, now the sinner shall find
by woeful experience, that death will be
an inlet to three dreadful things:
1. To judgment, Hebrews 9:27;
2. To an irreversible sentence
of condemnation, Matthew 25:41;
3. To endless, ceaseless, and
remediless sufferings!
