DYING IN YOUR SINS
Oh, better were it for you to die in a jail, in a
ditch, in a dungeon, than to die in your sins.
If death, as it will take away all your comforts, would take
away all your sins too, it would be some mitigation; but your
sins will follow you when your friends leave you, and all your
worldly enjoyments shake hands with you.
Your sins will not die with you as a prisoner's other debts will;
but they will go to judgment with you there to be your accusers;
and they will go to hell with you there to be your tormentors.
-JOSEPH ALLEINE
