And how can we more forcibly impress these things on the mind, than to consider some of the solemn effects of death, on the hody and soul? When death comes, it will destroy this tabernacle, in which we now live. The mortal hody must be covered with the elods of the earth, and moulder to dust. Hu- miliating idea ! But the soul must return to God who gave it, to receive a final sentence. Death w ill pay no more respect to the prince than the peasant.... The rich than the poor.... The young than t...he old.... The fair and comely than to the most deformed. All must submit to the dread alarm. It will completely level all out- ward distinctions of men in the silent tomb. Though after death men maybe regardless of the mortal part, yet they cannot be insensible of losing all that enjoy- ment derived from hodily senses. When death de- stroys the hody, it puts a final period to all the pur- suits and employments of this life. In the day in which death seizes the sons of men, in that very day, -. , 11 their worldly thoughts and enjoyments perish.
