In the second part of the meeting, the speaker poses the question from James 4:14 “For what is your life?”. He notes how the answer is given “It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away”. The speaker develops his subject by considering four types of people as presented through the portion; those that ‘boast, and say’, those that ‘buy and sell’, those who are ‘blind and shortsighted’, and those who are ‘blessed and saved’.
