The dread and ai^uish he endured were almost insupportable, he desired the earth m^ht open and swallow him up, like Korah and his company. Imagine a person in the fiill possession of all the good of this world, domestic affection, friendship, health, wisdom, learning, honour, riches, and all those comforts, which an unblemished character, and the praise, esteem, and regard of their fellow-creatures can procure ; imagine such an one, suddenly awaking to the consciousness of having committed, unk...nown to himself (if such a thing were possible) a dreadful crime, which was abready discovered, and for which he was just about to be triefl and condemned ; the imagi- nation shrinks from entering into the agony of a mind in THE HUNOABIAN BABBI. 143 such drctunstances — ^yet surely it is but a faint picture of what that soul must feel, which, quitting the body with the calm emotions of one who has never known the guilt of sin, or the fear of punishment, who obeying the laws of man, and the requirements of society, has passed a life not only unblamed by either, but praised by both, and yet has committed transgressions against the law of God, a millLon times multiplied — ^transgres- sions unknown and uncared for, and awakes to the fibst ' consciousness of sin, when the grave has closed over the hope of pardon, when the sentence is about to be pronounced, and an immortahty of misery hath already began.
