<p n="17">II. That the Death mention'd in the Text is opposite to the Life promis'd the Penitent in the 21st and following Verses of this Chapter. And,</p>
<p n="18">III. ult. That both this Death and that Life are Certain and Eternal.</p>

<p n="20">1. The severe Punishment of impenitent Sinners after this Life.</p>
