trembling are come upon me; I smart, and am in sore anguish already; and yet this is but the beginning of sorrows! It doth not yet appear what I shall be; but sure I shall be ruined, undone, and destroyed with an everlasting destruction!’ “This sad scene I saw with mine eyes; these words, and many more, equally affecting, I heard with mine ears; and soon after attended the unhappy gentleman to his tomb.” Let us compare this account with the last moments of Mr. HERVEY himself. We are told, that when his dissolution drew near, he said to those about him: “How thankful am I for death! It is the passage to the Lord and Giver of eternal life. O welcome, welcome death! Thou mayest well be reckoned among the treasures of the Christian; ‘To live is Christ, but to die is gain!’ ‘Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy most holy and comfortable word; for mine eyes have seen thy precious salvation.’—Here is my cordial! what are all the cordials given to support the dying, in comparison of that which arises from the promises of Salvation by Christ?—This, this supports me!” Many instances might be given, proving that men, although learned, are as fools, if ignorant of Christ and the way of salvation; one will be sufficient. Mr. HOBBES, was a celebrated Infidel in the last age, who, in bravado, would sometimes speak very unbecoming things of God and his word. Yet, when alone, he was haunted with the most tormenting reflections, and would awake in great terror, if his candle happened only to go out in the night. He could never bear any discourse of death, and seemed to endeavour to cast off all thoughts of it. He lived to be upwards of ninety. His last words were, when he found he could live no longer, “I shall be glad to find a hole to creep out of the world at.” And, notwithstanding all his high pretensions to learning and philosophy, his uneasiness constrained him to confess, when he drew near to the grave, that “he was about to take a leap in the dark.” Consider this in contrast with Dr. JOHN LELAND. who, after spending a long life in the service of the Gospel, closed it with the following words:—“I give my dying testimony to the truth of Christianity. The promises of the Gospel are my support and consolation. They, alone, yield me satisfaction in a dying hour. I am not afraid to die. The Gospel of Christ has raised me above the fear of death; for ‘I know that my Redeemer liveth.’”
