In-Text For every Follower of Christ has a very narrow way wherein to walk, and a very strait Gate whereat to enter. So that the Body of a Christian is Load enough unto the Soul; and therefore many more Impediments may well be spar'd. Our Bodies (saith St. Paul ) are but Earthen Vessels; but Dust and Ashes, (saith Abraham ) Gen. 20. 27. And sure the way to keep our selves unspotted from the World, is not to bury our selves alive, even by adding Earth to Earth, Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust. That being the way of our being buried, not in sure and certain Hope, but in sure and certain Fear of a Resurrection.
