"Remember Lot’s wife."
-- Luke 17:32
Subject:
We ought not to look back when we are flying out of Sodom.
Christ
here foretells his coming in his kingdom, in answer to the question which the
Pharisees asked him, viz. When the kingdom of God should come. And in
what he says of his coming, he, evidently has respect to two things; his coming
at the destruction of Jerusalem, and his coming at the end of the world. He
compares his coming at those times to the coming of God in two remarkable
judgments that were past. First, [he compares] to that in the time of the flood;
“and as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son
of Man.” Next, he compares it to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah;
“likewise also, as it was in the days of Lot, even thus shall it be in the day
when the Son of man is revealed.”
Then he immediately proceeds
to direct his people how they should behave themselves at the appearance of the
signal of that day’s approach, referring especially to the destruction of
Jerusalem. “In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in
the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field,
let him likewise not return back.” In which words Christ shows that they
should make the utmost haste to flee and get out of the city to the mountains,
as he commands. Mat. 24:15, etc. “When ye therefore shall see the abomination
of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet stand in the holy place, then let
them which be in Judea flee to the mountains; let him which is in the housetop
not come down to take anything out of the house, neither let him which is in the
field turn back to take his clothes.”
Jerusalem was like Sodom, in
that it was devoted to destruction by special divine wrath; and indeed to a more
terrible destruction than that of Sodom. Therefore the like direction is given
concerning fleeing out of it with the utmost haste, without looking behind, as
the angel gave to Lot, when he bid him flee out of Sodom. Gen. 19:17, “Escape
for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain.” And
in the text, Christ enforces his counsel by the instance of Lot’s wife. He
bids them remember her, and take warning by her, who looked back as she was
fleeing out of Sodom, and became a pillar of salt.
If it be inquired why Christ
gave this direction to his people to flee out of Jerusalem, in such exceeding
haste, at the first notice of the signal of her approaching destruction; I
answer, it seems to be, because fleeing out of Jerusalem was a type of fleeing
out of a state of sin. Escaping out of that unbelieving city typified an escape
out of a state of unbelief. Therefore they were directed to flee without staying
to take anything out of their houses, to signify with what haste and concern we
should flee out of a natural condition, that no respect to any worldly enjoyment
should prevent us one moment, and that we should flee to Jesus Christ, the
refuge of souls, our strong rock, and the mount of our defense, so as, in
fleeing to him, to leave and forsake heartily all earthly things.
This seems to be the chief
reason also why Lot was directed to make such haste, and not to look behind.
Because his fleeing out of Sodom was designed on purpose to be a type of our
fleeing from that state of sin and misery in which we naturally are.
DOCTRINE
We ought not to look back
when we are fleeing out of Sodom. The following reasons may be sufficient to
support this doctrine:
I. That Sodom is a city full
of filthiness and abominations. It is full of those impurities that ought to be
had in the utmost abhorrence and detestation by all. The inhabitants of it are a
polluted company. They are all under the power and dominion of hateful lusts.
All their faculties and affections are polluted with those wile dispositions
that are unworthy of the human nature, that greatly debase it, that are
exceedingly hateful to God, and that dreadfully incense his anger. Every kind of
spiritual abomination abounds in it. There is nothing so hateful and abominable
but that there it is to be found, and there it abounds.
Sodom is a city full of
devils and all unclean spirits. There they have their rendezvous, and there they
have their dominion. There they sport, and wallow in filthiness, as it is said
of mystical Babylon, Rev. 18:2. Babylon is become the habitation of devils, and
the hold of every foul spirit, and the cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
— Who would be of such a society? Who would not flee from such a city with the
utmost haste, and never look back upon it, and never have the least inclination
of returning?
Some in Sodom may seem to
carry a fair face, and make a fair outward show. But if we could look into their
hearts, they are everyone altogether filthy and abominable. We ought to flee
from such a city, with the utmost abhorrence of the place and society, with no
desires to dwell longer there, and never to discover the least inclination to
return to it. But [we] should be desirous to get to the greatest possible
distance from it, that we might in no wise be partakers in her abominations.
II. We ought not to look
back when fleeing out of Sodom, because Sodom is a city appointed to
destruction. The cry of the city hath reached up to heaven. The earth cannot
bear such a burden as her inhabitants are. She will therefore disburden herself
of them, and spew them out. God will not suffer such a city to stand; he will
consume it. God is holy, and his nature is infinitely opposite to all such
uncleanness. He will therefore be a consuming fire to it. The holiness of God
will not suffer it to stand, and the majesty and justice of God require that the
inhabitants of that city who thus offend and provoke him be destroyed. And God
will surely destroy them. It is the immutable and irreversible decree of God.
— He hath said it, and he will do it. The decree is gone forth, and so sure as
there is a God, and he is almighty, and able to fulfill his decrees and
threatenings, so surely will he destroy Sodom. Gen. 19:12, 13, “Whatsoever
thou hast in this city, bring them out of this place; for we will destroy this
place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord, and
the Lord has sent us to destroy it.” And in verse 14, “Up, get ye out of
this place, or the Lord will destroy this city.”
This city is an accursed
city; it is destined to ruin. — Therefore, as we would not be partakers of her
curse, and would not be destroyed, we should flee out of it, and not look behind
us. Rev. 18:4, “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her
sins, and that ye receive not her plagues.”
III. We ought not to look
back when fleeing out of Sodom, because the destruction to which it is appointed
is exceedingly dreadful; it is appointed to utter destruction, to be wholly and
entirely consumed. It is appointed to suffer the wrath of the great God, which
is to be poured down from God upon it, like a dreadful storm of fire and
brimstone. This city is to be filled full of the wrath of God. Everyone that
remains in it shall have the fire of God’s wrath come down on his head and
into his soul. He shall be full of fire and full of the wrath of the Almighty.
He shall be encompassed with fire without and full of fire within. His head, his
heart, his bowels, and all his limbs shall be full of fire, and not a drop of
water to cool him.
Nor shall he have any place
to flee to for relief. Go where he will, there is the fire of God’s wrath. His
destruction and torment will be inevitable. — He shall be destroyed without
any pity. He shall cry aloud, but there shall be none to help, there shall be
none to regard his lamentations, or to afford relief. The decree is gone forth,
and the days come when Sodom shall burn as an oven, and all the inhabitants
thereof shall be as stubble. As it was in the literal Sodom, the whole city was
full of fire. In their houses there was no safety, for they were all on fire.
And if they fled out into the streets, they also were full of fire. Fire
continually came down out of heaven everywhere. — That was a dismal time. What
a cry was there then in that city, in every part of it! But there was none to
help. They had no where to go where they could hide their heads from fire. They
had none to pity or relieve them. If they fled to their friends, they could not
help them.
Now, with what haste should
we flee from a city appointed to such a destruction! And how should we flee
without looking behind us! How should it be our whole intent to get at the
greatest distance from a city in such circumstances! How far should we be from
thinking at all of returning to a city which has such wrath hanging over it!
IV. The destruction to which
Sodom is appointed is an universal destruction. None that stay in it shall
escape. None will have the good fortune to be in any by-corner, where the fire
will not search them out. All sorts, old and young, great and small, shall be
destroyed. There shall be no exception of any age, or any sex, or any condition,
but all shall perish together. Gen. 19:24, 25, “Then the Lord rained upon
Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven, and he
overthrew those cities and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities,
and that which grew upon the ground.” We therefore must not delay or look
behind us; for there is no place of safety in Sodom, nor in all the plain on
which Sodom is built. The mountain of safety is before us, and not behind us.
V. The destruction to which
Sodom is appointed is an everlasting destruction. This is said of the literal
Sodom, that it suffered the vengeance of eternal fire. Jude 7, “Even as Sodom
and Gomorrah, and the cities about them, in like manner, giving themselves over
to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example,
suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.” The destruction that Sodom and
Gomorrah suffered was an eternal destruction. Those cities were destroyed, and
have never been built since, and are not capable of being rebuilt; for the land
on which they stood at the time of their destruction sunk, and has ever since
been covered with the lake of Sodom or the Dead sea, or as it is called in
Scripture, the Salt sea. This seems to have been thus ordered on purpose
to be a type of the eternal destruction of ungodly men. So that fire by which
they were destroyed is called eternal fire, because it was so typically,
it was a type of the eternal destruction of ungodly men; which may be in part
what is intended, when it is said in that text in Jude, that they were set forth
for an example, or for a type or representation of the eternal fire in which all
the ungodly are to be consumed.
Sodom has in all ages since
been covered with a lake which was first brought on it by fire and brimstone, to
be a type of the lake of fire and brimstone in which ungodly men shall have
their part forever and ever, as we read Rev. 20:15, and elsewhere. — We ought
not therefore to look back when fleeing out of Sodom, seeing that the
destruction to which it is appointed is an eternal destruction; for this renders
the destruction infinitely dreadful.
VI. Sodom is a city
appointed to swift and sudden destruction. The destruction is not only certain
and inevitable, and infinitely dreadful, but it will come speedily. “Their
judgment lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not;” 2 Pet. 2:3. And
so Deu. 32:35, “The day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that
shall come upon them make haste.” — The storm of wrath, the black clouds of
divine vengeance, even now every moment hang over them, just ready to break
forth and come down in a dreadful manner upon them. God hath already whet his
sword and bent his bow, and made ready his arrow on the string, Psa. 7:12.
Therefore we should make haste, and not look behind us. For if we linger and
stop to look back, and flee not for our lives, there is great danger that we
shall be involved in the common ruin.
The destruction of Sodom is
not only swift, but will come suddenly and unexpectedly. — It seems to have
been a fair morning in Sodom before it was destroyed, Gen. 19:23. It seems that
there were no clouds to be seen, no appearance of any storm at all, much less of
a storm of fire and brimstone. The inhabitants of Sodom expected no such thing.
Even when Lot told his sons-in-law of it, they would not believe it, Gen. 19:14.
— They were making merry. Their hearts were at ease, they though nothing of
such a calamity at hand. But it came at once, as travail upon a woman with
child, and there was no escaping. As verse 28, 29 [says], “They did eat, they
drank; they bought, they sold; they planted, they builded; but the same day that
Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed
them all.”
So it is with wicked men.
Psa. 73:19, “How are they brought into desolation in a moment! They are
utterly consumed with terrors.” — If therefore we linger and look back, we
may be suddenly overtaken and seized with destruction.
VII. There is nothing in
Sodom that is worth looking back upon. All the enjoyments of Sodom will soon
perish in the common destruction; all will be burnt up. And surely it is not
worth the while to look back on things that are perishing and consuming in the
flames, as it is with all the enjoyments of sin. They are all appointed to the
fire. Therefore it is foolish for any who are fleeing out of Sodom to hanker any
more after them. For when they are burnt up, what good can they do? And is it
worth the while for us to return back for the sake of a moment’s enjoyment of
them, before they are burnt, and so expose ourselves to be burnt up with them?
Lot’s wife looked back,
because she remembered the pleasant things that she left in Sodom. She hankered
after them. She could not but look back with a wishful eye upon the city, where
she had lived in such ease and pleasure. Sodom was a place of great outward
plenty. They ate the fat, and drank the sweet. The soil about Sodom was
exceedingly fruitful. It is said to be as the garden of God, Gen. 13:10.
And fullness of bread was one of the sins of the place, Eze. 16:49.
Here Lot and his wife lived
plentifully; and it was a place where the inhabitants wallowed in carnal
pleasures and delights. But however much it abounded in these things, what were
they worth now, when the city was burning? Lot’s wife was very foolish in
lingering in her escape, for the sake of things which were all on fire. — So
the enjoyments, the profits, and pleasures of sin, have the wrath and curse of
God on them. Brimstone is scattered on them. Hell-fire is ready to kindle on
them. It is not therefore worth while for any person to look back after such
things.
VIII. We are warned by
messengers sent to us from God to make haste in our flight from Sodom, and not
to look behind us. God sends to us his ministers, the angels of the churches, on
this grand errand, as he sent the angels to warn Lot and his wife to flee for
their lives, Gen. 19:15, 16. — If we delay or look back, now that we have had
such fair warning, we shall be exceedingly inexcusable and monstrously foolish.
APPLICATION
The use that I would make of
this doctrine, is to warn those who are in a natural condition to flee out of
it, and by no means to look back. While you are out of Christ you are in Sodom.
The whole history of the destruction of Sodom, with all its circumstances, seems
to be inserted in the Scriptures for our warning, and is set forth for an
example, as the apostle Jude says; It in a lively manner typifies the case of
natural men, the destruction of those that continue in a natural state, and the
manner of their escape who flee to Christ. The psalmist, when speaking of the
appointed punishment of ungodly men, seems evidently to refer to the destruction
of Sodom. Psa. 11:6, “Upon the wicked God shall rain snares, fire, and
brimstone, and a horrible tempest: This shall be the portion of their cup.”
Consider therefore, you that
are seeking an interest in Christ, you are to flee out of Sodom. Sodom is the
place of your nativity, and the place where you have spent your lives. You are
citizens of that city which is full of filthiness and abomination before God,
that polluted and accursed city. You belong to that impure society. You not only
live among them, but you are of them, you have committed those abominations, and
have so provoked God as you have heard. It is you that I have all this while
been speaking of under this doctrine. You are the inhabitants of Sodom. Perhaps
you may look on your circumstances as not very dreadful; but you dwell in Sodom.
— Though you may be reformed, and appear with a clean outside, and a smooth
face to the world; yet as long as you are in a natural condition, you are impure
inhabitants of Sodom.
The world of mankind is
divided into two companies, or, as I may say, into two cities. There is the city
of Zion, the church of God, the holy and the beloved city. And there is Sodom,
that polluted and accursed city, which is appointed to destruction. You belong
to the latter of these. How much soever you may look upon yourselves as better
than some others, you are of the same city; the same company with fornicators,
and drunkards, and adulterers, and common swearers, and highwaymen, and pirates,
and Sodomites. How much soever you may think yourselves distinguished, as long
as you are out of Christ, you belong to the very same society. You are of the
company, you join with them, and are no better than they, any otherwise than as
you have greater restraints. You are considered in the sight of God as fit to be
ranked with them. You and they are altogether the objects of loathing and
abhorrence, and have the wrath of God abiding on you. You will go with them and
be destroyed with them, if you do not escape from your present state. Yea, you
are of the same society and the same company with the devils, for Sodom is not
only the city of wicked men, but it is the hold of every foul spirit.
You belong to that city
which is appointed to an awful, inevitable, universal, swift, and sudden
destruction; a city that hath a storm of fire and wrath hanging over it. Many of
you are convinced of the awful state you are in while in Sodom, and are making
some attempts to escape from the wrath which hangs over it. Let such be warned
by what has been said, to escape for their lives, and not to look back. Look not
back, unless you choose to have a share in the burning tempest that is coming
down on that city. — Look not back in remembrance of the enjoyments which you
have had in Sodom, as hankering after the pleasant things which you have had
there, after the ease, the security, and the pleasure which you have there
enjoyed.
Remember Lot’s wife, for
she looked back, as being loth utterly and forever to leave the ease, the
pleasure, and plenty which she enjoyed in Sodom, and as having a mind to return
to them again; remember what became of her. — Remember the children of Israel
in the wilderness, who were desirous of going back again into Egypt. Num. 11:5,
“We remember the flesh which we did eat in Egypt freely, the cucumbers, and
the melons, and the leeks and onions, and the garlick.” Remember what was the
issue. You must be willing forever to leave all the ease, and pleasure, and
profit of sin, to forsake all the salvation, as Lot forsook all, and left all he
had, to escape out of Sodom.
And further to enforce this
warning, let me entreat all you who are in this state to consider the several
things which I shall now mention.
I. The destruction of which
you are in danger is infinitely more dreadful than that destruction of the
literal Sodom from which Lot fled. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in a
storm of fire and brimstone was but a shadow of the destruction of ungodly men
in hell, and is no more to it than a shadow or a picture is to a reality, or
than painted fire is to real fire. The misery of hell is set forth by various
shadows and images in Scripture, as blackness of darkness, a never-dying worm, a
furnace of fire, a lake of fire and brimstone, the torments of the valley of the
son of Hinnom, a storm of fire and brimstone. The reason why so many similitudes
are used is because none of them are sufficient. Anyone does but partly and very
imperfectly represent the truth, and therefore God makes use of many.
You have therefore much more
need to make haste in your escape, and not look behind you, than Lot and his
wife had when they fled out of Sodom. For you are every day and every moment in
danger of a thousand times more dreadful storm coming on your heads, than that
which came on Sodom, when the Lord rained brimstone and fire from the Lord out
of heaven upon them. So that it will be vastly more sottish in you to look back
than it was in Lot’s wife.
II. The destruction of which
you are in danger is not only greater than the temporal destruction of Sodom,
but greater than the eternal destruction of the inhabitants of Sodom. For
however well you may think you have behaved yourselves, you who have continued
impenitent under the glorious gospel, have sinned more, and provoked God far
more, and have greater guilt upon you, than the inhabitants of Sodom; although
you may seem to yourselves, and perhaps to others, to be very harmless
creatures. Mat. 10:15, “Verily I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for
Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.”
III. Multitudes, while they
have been looking back, have been suddenly overtaken and seized by the storm of
wrath. The wrath of God hath not delayed, while they have delayed; it has not
waited at all for them to turn about and flee; but has presently seized them,
and they have been past hope. When Lot’s wife looked back, she was immediately
destroyed. God had exercised patience toward her before. When she lingered at
the setting out, the angels pressed her, and her husband and children, to make
haste. Not only so, but when they yet delayed, they brought her forth, and set
her without the city, the Lord being merciful to her. But now when,
notwithstanding this mercy, and the warnings which had been given her, she
looked back, God exercised no more patience towards her, but proceeded
immediately to put her to death.
Now God has in like manner
been merciful to you. You in time past have been lingering; you have been warned
by the angel of your danger, and pressed to make haste and flee; yet you have
delayed. And now at length God hath as it were laid hold on you, by the
convictions of his spirit, to draw you out of Sodom; and therefore remember
Lot’s wife. If now, after all, you should look back, when God hath
been so merciful to you, you will have reason to fear, that God will suddenly
destroy you. Multitudes, when they have been looking back, and putting off to
another time, have never had another opportunity; they have been suddenly
destroyed, and that without remedy.
IV. If you look back, and
live long after it, there will be great danger that you will never get any
further. The only way to seek salvation is to press forward with all your might,
and still to look and press forward, never to stand still or slacken your pace.
When Lot’s wife stopped in her flight and stood still in order that she might
look, her punishment was, that there she was to stand forever; she never got any
further; she never got beyond that place. But there she stood as a pillar of
salt, a durable pillar and monument of wrath, for her folly and wickedness.
So it was very often with
backsliders, though they may live a considerable time after. When they look
back, after they have been taking pains for their salvation, they lose all, they
put themselves under vast disadvantages. By quenching the Spirit of God, and
losing their convictions, they dreadfully harden their own hearts, and stupefy
their souls. They make way for discouragements, dreadfully strengthen and
establish the interest of sin in their hearts, many ways give Satan great
advantages to ruin them, and provoke God oftentimes utterly to leave them to
hardness of heart. When they come to look back, their souls presently become
dead and hard like the body of Lot’s wife. And though they live long after,
they never get any further. It is worse for them than if they were immediately
damned. When persons in fleeing out of Sodom look back, their last case is far
worse than the first; Mat. 12:43, 44, 45. And experience confirms, that none
ordinarily are so hard to be brought to penance as backsliders.
V. It may well stir you up
to flee for your lives, and not to look behind you, when you consider how many
have lately fled to the mountains, while you yet remain in Sodom. To what
multitudes hath God given the wisdom to flee to Christ, the mountain of safety!
They have fled to the little city Zoar, which God will spare and never destroy.
How many have you seen of all sorts resorting out of Sodom thither, as believing
the Word of God by the angels, that God would surely destroy that place. They
are in a safe condition. They are got out of the reach of the storm. The fire
and brimstone can do them no hurt there.
But you yet remain in that
cursed city among that accursed company. You are yet in Sodom, which God is
about so terribly to destroy, where you are in danger every minute of having
snares, fire, and brimstone, come down on your head. — Though so many have
obtained, yet you have not obtained deliverance. Good has come but you have seen
none of it. Others are happy, but no man knows what will become of you. You have
no part nor lot in the glorious salvation of souls, which has lately been among
us. — The consideration of this should stir you up effectually to escape, and
in your escape to press forward — still to press forward — and to resolve to
press forward forever, let what will be in the way, to hearken to no temptation,
and never to look back, or in any wise slacken or abate your endeavors as long
as you live, but if possible to increase in them more and more.
VI. Backsliding after such a
time as this, *1* will have a vastly greater tendency to seal
a man’s damnation than at another time. The greater means men have, the louder
calls and the greater advantages they are under, the more dangerous is
backsliding, the more it has a tendency to enhance guilt, to provoke God, and to
harden the heart.
We, in this land of light,
have long enjoyed greater advantages than most of the world. But the advantages
which persons are under now for their salvation, are perhaps tenfold what they
have been at such times as we have ordinarily lived in. And backsliding will be
proportionably the greater sin, and the more dangerous to the soul. You have
seen God’s glory and his wonders amongst us, in a most marvelous manner. —
If therefore you look back after this, there will be great danger that God will
swear in his wrath, that you shall never enter into his rest; as God sware
concerning them that were for going back into Egypt, after they had seen the
wonders which God wrought for Israel. Num. 14:22, 23, “Because all those men
that have seen my glory and my miracles that I did in Egypt, and in the
wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to
my voice; surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers,
neither shall any of them that provoked me see it.” — The wonders that we
have seen among us of late, have been of a more glorious nature than those that
the children of Israel saw in Egypt and in the wilderness.
VII. We know not but that
great part of the wicked world are, at this day, in Sodom’s circumstances,
when Lot fled out of it; having some outward, temporal destruction hanging over
it. It looks as if some great thing were coming; the state of things in the
world seems to be ripe for some great revolution. The world has got to such a
terrible degree of wickedness, that it is probable the cry of it has reached up
to heaven. And it is hardly probable that God will suffer things to go on, as
they now do, much longer. It is likely that God will ere long appear in awful
majesty to vindicate his own cause. And then none will be safe that are out of
Christ. Now therefore everyone should flee for his life, and escape to the
mountain, lest he be consumed. We cannot certainly tell what God is about to do,
but this we may know, that those who are out of Christ are in a most unsafe
state.
VIII. To enforce this
warning against looking back, let me beseech you to consider the exceeding
proneness to it there is in the heart. The heart of man is a backsliding heart.
There is in the heart a great love and hankering desire after the ease,
pleasure, and enjoyments of Sodom, as there was in Lot’s wife, by which
persons are continually liable to temptations to look back. The heart is so much
towards Sodom, that it is a difficult thing to keep the eye from turning that
way, and the feet from tending thither. When men under convictions are put upon
fleeing, it is a mere force. It is because God lays hold on their hands, as he
did on Lot’s and his wife’s, and drags them so far. But the tendency of the
heart is to go back to Sodom.
Persons are very prone to
backsliding also through discouragement. The heart is unsteady, soon tired, and
apt to listen to discouraging temptations. A little difficulty and delay soon
overcome its feeble resolutions. And discouragement tends to backsliding. It
weakens persons’ hands, lies as a dead weight on their hearts, and makes them
drag heavily; and if it continue long, it very often issues insecurity and
senselessness. Convictions are often shaken off that way. They begin first to go
off with discouragement.
Backsliding is a disease
that is exceeding secret in its way of working. It is a flattering distemper. It
works like a consumption, wherein persons often flatter themselves that they are
not worse, but something better, and in a hopeful way to recover, till a few
days before they die. So backsliding commonly comes on gradually, and steals on
men insensibly, and they still flatter themselves that they are not backslidden.
— They plead that they are seeking yet, and they hope they have not lost their
convictions. And by the time they find it out, and cannot pretend so any longer,
they are commonly so far gone, that they care not much if they have lost their
convictions. And when it is come to that, it is commonly a gone case as to those
convictions. Thus they blind themselves, and keep themselves insensible of their
own disease, and so are not terrified with it, nor awakened to use means for
relief, till it is past cure.
