Death of the Righteous, Or the Way of Holy Dying (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Death of the Righteous, or the Way of Holy Dying

Tan subject of death, as it first strikes the human mind, carries with it something terrifying to the fears, unwelcome to the hopes, and revolting to the minds of those who make the present uncertain state, with all its sorrows and its separations, the object of their idolatrous attachment. It is not so much the blow which severs the frail thread of life that excites their apprehension. It is the uncertainty concerning their future and untried state of existence.

Distrust and darkness of a future state, Is that which makes mankind to dread their fate; Dying is nothing; but 't is this we fear, To be we know not what, we know not where.
