which is very necessary to be thought of, 1. By way of caution to us
all to take heed of deceiving ourselves in the great concerns of our
souls by resting in that which seems right and is not really so, and,
for the preventing of a self-delusion, to be impartial in
self-examination and keep up a jealousy over ourselves. 2. By way of
terror to those whose way is not right, is not as it should be, however
it may seem to themselves or others; the end of it will certainly be
death; to that it has a direct and certain tendency.
