20. Understanding differentiates men from animals, but if they will not
follow the highest wisdom, and like beasts find their all in this life, then
their end shall be as mean and dishonorable as that of beasts slain in the
chase, or killed by the butcher. Saddest of all is the reflection that though
men are like beasts in the degradation of perishing, yet not in the rest which
animal perishing secures, for alas it is written, “These shall go away into everlasting punishment.”
