. Meditate Upon Death by William
Dyer 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. O 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 saint's enjoyment shall be
incomparable when the sinner's 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. A 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. O sirs, meditate upon death.
