ABSTRACT
LIfe and Death are two things of the greatest importance in this world; both in respect of what they are; and whereto they tend; that is, their Essence; and the great consequences that depend upon them : and yet there is nothing whereof many men are more regardless than of their lives; how wretchedly they spend, and end them; and of their Deaths, how desperately they incurre and contrast them; casting themselves into the danger of it, by the hands of others, or of themselves; although the finnes in which they die, can never afterwards be recovered, or eternall destruction be avoided.
