Medical References in Sermons 15


In a sermon on Isaiah 65:20 The aged sinner he says

Many plunge themselves into the pleasures and pursuits of life so as not seriously to think of death or what is needful in order to it but they must die, whether they expect it or not and whether they be prepared for it or not. We may recover from many diseases and escape from many dangers but death is inevitable: the sentence is passed and life whether it be short or long is only a reprieve. Let then the worldling increase his wealth, the voluptuous his pleasures and the ambitious rise to honour and preferment, yet death will soon reduce them to a level with the common herd of mankind.
