Meditate upon DEATH

(William Dyer, "CHRIST'S Famous Titles")
Meditate often on these four last things:
Death, which is most certain.
Judgment, which is most strict.
Hell, which is most doleful.
Heaven, which is most delightful.
Meditate upon DEATH,
which is most certain.
"It is appointed unto men
once to die." Hebrews 9:27
Out of the dust was man formed;
into the dust shall man be turned.
To think of death,
is a death to some men.
Oh sirs, meditate upon death.
Meditation on death,
will put sin to death.
Death to the wicked, is the end
of all comfort, and the beginning
of all misery.
Death to the godly, is the outlet
to sin and sorrow, and the inlet
to peace and happiness.
The saints' enjoyment shall be
incomparable,
when the sinners' torments
shall be intolerable.
When a believer's soul goes out
of his own bosom, it goes into
Abraham's bosom.
When a saint dies, he leaves
all his bad behind him, and
carries his good with him.
When a sinner dies, he carries
his bad with him, and leaves
his good behind him.
The godly man goes
from evil, to all good.
The wicked man goes
from good, to all evil.
When a saint leaves the world,
his soul returns to happiness
and rest.
When a sinner leaves this world,
his body goes to worms to be
consumed, and his soul goes
to flames to be tormented.
The saint goes to Abraham's bosom;
the sinner goes to Beelzebub's bosom.
The wheat goes to the barn;
the chaff goes to the fire.
Oh sirs, meditate upon death!
