of mortall body from our breath What 's that but a cessation from cares and from a liuing death What 's that cessation Why it is a sleepe by which we wholly are refreshed Yea but in sleepe who shall vs keepe euen he that guards his owne redeemed But who made death it was made by sinne and what is sinne the lawes transgression Of that how should I vantage winne all sinne is weakened by confession But by death's dint 't is ouercome and whence came sinne from hell beneath When was 't first bred in Mothers wombe when will it end not till our death This seemeth strange but this is true by nature sinne is hatch'd in vs Old Adams Rules till God renue Why then I see the case stands thus As sinne goes in so life goes out as sinne goes out so life comes in So by the Lord 't is brought about sinne conquers life life conquers sinne Though life by sinne be still annoy'd and sinne of death by strength and sting Yet viprous sinne by death 's destroy'd life killeth death when death kills sinne The death of body or of nature is that where to all subiect bee Cause sinne hath taintod euery creature according vnto Gods decree When bodies life doth ●ade away and we giue vp our dying ghost And th●… our corpes is clad in clay and vnto God our soul●s doth post It is ordained and decreed that all men by necessity Through that first Adams sinfull deede are subiect made the death to dye To dye for sinne 't is due for sinne to aye in sinne a heauie case To dye to sinne is to beginne to leaue our sinne and liue to grace The death in sinne without repenting in affect effect and aspecting In thinking doing and frequenting and offered grace of God reiecting I wretched wofull execrable haue plague of God by sinne for sinne Of miseries most miserable to them that liue and dye therein But he that dies before he dies when he is dead he is not dead But old age dies and he shall rise with glory from the graue his bed And he that 's toucht with conscience pricke whose sence of sinne is sharpe and quicke That man is sicke ere he is sicke and when he 's sicke he is not sicke I looke poore wretch on mine estate and others monish by mine harmes That was neere death but now of late by sinne enchanted by her charmes Had I not dyed sure I had dide O happy Phaenix liuing death Still let my flesh be mortifide O let me breath a liuing breath Sweet Iesus thou didst dye for me and in thy death with thee I dide O liue in me and I in thee shall liue and euermore abide And wormes meate thou durt clay slime kill carnall lust thy soule to saue Quaile vild affections whilst hast time that life through death by grace maist haue Shake hands with sinnes and all offences and learne to dye before thou dye When bidst adiew vnto thy sences then shalt thou liue eternally The cause of death The cause of death is wicked sinne for out of sinne our death did flowe From thence did all our plagues begin out of this tree our ills did growe Hunger fire death and all created were for punishment And layd on man for Adams fall and was the cause of our torment God said to Adam Scripture saith what houre soeuer thou shalt eate Thou shalt be sure to dye the death doe thou not taste forbidden meate Through enuious malice of the deuill into the world came this estate Sinnes entered with all actions euill by Adams fault not by our Fate Two sorts of death from death by sinne proceedes as effects from their cause The death of nature doth begin and death of grace next by Gods lawes By which we are made slaues for euer in darknesse called death eternall From worme of conscience freed neuer depriu'd of all the ioyes supernall As by example euident two sorts of death approued well The glutton rich to hell was sent his body buried quick in hell And Lazarus poore beggar dead to Abrahams bosome carried is With Angels wings with glory spread where is true ioy and comforts blisse The one hath heauen the other hell the one hath blisse the other bale The one in heauen still must dwell and the other deuils pull and hale He died with his conscience euill in death he sawe his wickednesse And his damnations with the deuill as holy Scriptures doe expresse This is the consolation great of them that in their death-beds lie Their mindes flie vp to the mercy seate and there for mercy lowdly crie By Christ which death abollished and sinne that 's cleans'd by his blood Whose merits pardon purchased for all our sinnes and death withstood To vs his goodnesse is imputed to him the sinnes that we committed And we for righteous are reputed and all our sinnes they are remitted For he alone by death hath bought vs from power and paine of deuill of hell Beat Sathan downe with iron rod to place where damned spirits dwell Eternall death could not preuaile 'gainst him nor ouer him haue power Christ strengthned those whom sinne did quaile his might the mighty did deuoure O're death o're sinne and hideous hell he gaue vs life and victory To all those that keepe his precepts well and them enstalls in endlesse glory For as by Adam all men dyed for sinne and by iniquity In Christ shall all men be reuiu'd to liue with him eternally The godly and iust people haue most comfort though with paine and griefe They suffer death and lye in graue and seeme forsaken saue reliefe They are sheepe which men ordaine to death and slaughter to be put As silly guiltlesse Lambes are slaine when Butchers knifes their threats doe cut For we which liue shall giuen be to death for Jesus Christ his sake If they doe not dispaire in thee no feare of death can cause them quake But rest assured they shall passe through death to life eternally Who aske for mercy and for grace and vnto God for Faith doe cry They suffer both his hand and rod and when he strikes are patieut They put their hope and trust in God who comforts them with hearts content Their death is good and of great price they also know through Christ his passion Death 's ouercome in wonderous wise and so receiue they consolation If any touch'd in latest paines of dire full death this faith holds fast In midst of death his li●t attaines and shall haue lasting life at last The Christians surely doe beleeue that when they seeme to be most dead That then they most of all doe liue and so with ioy lift vp their head Christ calls the death of godly men a sleepe his owne a death and why The souldiers speare was made a pen his blood the Inke to write thereby Quietus est for-Christians all and then the same to vs was sealed A sleepe he iustly may it call cause by his stripes our wounds were
