O Christian soul, what will be your sentiments at the hour of death
with regard to this world and all its perishable goods, vain honors, false
riches and cheating pleasures. Alas! The
world must then end in your regard. It
will turn upside down before your eyes, and you will begin to see the
nothingness of all those things on which you had here set your heart.
How will you then despise all worldly honors
and preferences when you see yourself at the brink of the grave, where the worm
will make no distinction between the king and the beggar. How little account, will you then make of the
esteem of men, who then will think no more of you.
