Note, 1. It is well with those that are wise in their latter end, wise
for their latter end, for their future state, wise for another world,
that are found wise when their latter end comes, wise virgins, wise
builders, wise stewards, that are wise at length, and understand the
things that belong to their peace, before they be hidden from their
eyes. A carnal worldling at his end shall be a fool (Jer. xvii. 11),
but godliness will prove wisdom at last. 2. Those that would be wise in
their latter end must hear counsel and receive instruction, in their
beginnings must be willing to be taught and ruled, willing to be
advised and reproved, when they are young. Those that would be stored
in winter must gather in summer.
