The mad desire of plenty and pleasure
(Richard Baxter, "The Sinfulness
of Flesh-Pleasing")
Remember your death. Go to the grave, and see there
the end of fleshly pleasure--and what is all that it
will do for you at the last. One would think this would
cure the mad desire of plenty and pleasure--to
see
where all our wealth, and mirth, and sport, and pleasure
must be buried at last!
