14. But it has been proved, that the case is quite otherwise, that religion is happiness, that wickedness is misery; and that no man is assured of living threescore days: And if so, is there any fool, any madman under heaven, who can be compared to him that casts away his own soul, though it were to gain the whole world For what is the real state of the case What is the choice which God proposes to his creatures It is not, "Will you be happy threescore years, and then miserable forever, or, will you be miserable threescore years, and then happy forever" It is not, "Will you have first a temporary heaven, and then hell eternal; or, will you have first a temporary hell, and then heaven eternal" But it is simply this: "Will you be miserable threescore years, and miserable ever after; or, will you be happy threescore years, and happy ever after Will you have a foretaste of heaven now, and then heaven forever; or will you have a foretaste of hell now and then hell forever Will you have two hells, or two heavens"
