we_o see_v by_o experience_n in_o a_o frontier_n town_n that_o when_o it_o be_v well_o victual_v and_o provide_v of_o all_o thing_n necessary_a for_o to_o withstand_v a_o long_a siege_n those_o

to_o provide_v and_o arm_v the_o faithful_a man_n against_o death_n we_o must_v note_v that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o it_o the_o one_o be_v temporal_a of_o the_o body_n which_o christian_n ought_v to_o desire_v the_o other_o be_v eternal_a of_o body_n and_o soul_n which_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o fear_v perfever_v in_o the_o faith_n of_o our_o lord_n that_o it_o be_v so_o all_o fear_n presuppose_v evil_a and_o danger_n we_o do_v not_o fear_v that_o which_o be_v good_a but_o long_o after_o desire_n and_o pursue_v it_o and_o when_o it_o offer_v itself_o we_o receive_v it_o joyful_o but_o a_o evil_a we_o apprehend_v and_o fear_v we_o fly_v from_o it_o and_o when_o it_o happen_v unto_o we_o we_o sorrow_n and_o do_v complain_v if_o then_o it_o do_v appear_v by_o good_a and_o evident_a proof_n that_o the_o faithful_a man_n be_v not_o in_o danger_n of_o this_o second_o death_n may_v we_o not_o then_o conclude_v that_o if_o we_o fear_v it_o it_o be_v foolish_a and_o without_o occasion_n and_o sure_o if_o we_o have_v judgement_n and_o never_o so_o little_a faith_n it_o be_v sufficient_a present_o to_o take_v away_o the_o fear_n of_o it_o from_o us._n for_o first_o the_o proper_a nature_n of_o faith_n be_v to_o animate_v and_o quicken_v our_o heart_n so_o soon_o as_o it_o be_v receive_v in_o us._n the_o just_a say_v the_o prophet_n shall_v live_v by_o faith_n now_o even_o so_o as_o the_o body_n while_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o it_o live_v and_o die_v not_o until_o such_o time_n as_o it_o be_v separate_v from_o it_o no_o more_o do_v the_o faithful_a man_n persevere_v in_o the_o faith_n which_o have_v be_v inspire_v and_o put_v into_o his_o heart_n by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n although_o say_v david_n i_o shall_v walk_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o

we_o to_o give_v we_o eternal_a life_n we_o ought_v to_o assure_v ourselves_o of_o it_o and_o take_v away_o all_o fear_n and_o apprehension_n of_o death_n what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o ruin_n
