An inlet to three dreadful things!

An inlet to three dreadful things!

(Thomas Brooks, "A Heavenly Cordial" 1665)

Death is dreadful to the unbelieving sinner, for it puts an everlasting end to all his temporal . . .
  mercies,
  comforts,
  contentments,
  and enjoyments.

Death will put an everlasting end to all his pleasures of sin. Now the sinner shall never more have one merry day. In Hell there is no . . .
  no singing — but howling;
  no music — but madness;
  no sporting — but sighing;
  no dancing — but wringing of hands
and gnashing of teeth for evermore!

In a word, now the sinner shall find by woeful experience, that death will be an inlet to three dreadful things: 

   1. To judgment, Hebrews 9:27;
   2. To an irreversible sentence of condemnation, Matthew 25:41;
   3. To endless, ceaseless, and remediless sufferings!
