a_o fond_a dream_n of_o their_o own_o brain_n viz._n the_o soul_n sleep_v at_o death_n till_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o then_o to_o rise_v again_o with_o the_o body_n to_o receive_v the_o reward_n of_o good_a or_o evil_n they_o be_v as_o good_a tell_v we_o in_o plain_a term_n the_o soul_n die_v with_o the_o body_n for_o this_o sleep_n be_v so_o like_a death_n as_o i_o know_v not_o how_o to_o distinguish_v it_o from_o death_n how_o a_o pure_a spirit_n as_o the_o soul_n divide_v from_o the_o body_n be_v can_v fetch_v a_o sleep_n of_o one_o or_o two_o thousand_o year_n i_o can_v understand_v and_o i_o believe_v they_o as_o little_a let_v they_o show_v we_o what_o kind_n of_o sleep_n this_o be_v and_o some_o warrant_n in_o scripture_n for_o it_o and_o then_o i_o shall_v willing_o hearken_v to_o they_o and_o submit_v my_o soul_n to_o sleep_v with_o they_o not_o otherwise_o for_o i_o shall_v not_o easy_o quit_v the_o comfort_n st._n paul_n give_v we_o at_o death_n that_o we_o shall_v depart_v hence_o and_o be_v with_o christ_n for_o which_o he_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v not_o to_o enter_v into_o so_o dead_a a_o sleep_n as_o will_v make_v his_o condition_n no_o better_o than_o of_o a_o dead_a block_n he_o tell_v we_o also_o he_o be_v in_o a_o straight_a betwixt_o two_o whether_o to_o stay_v and_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o other_o or_o to_o depart_v and_o be_v with_o christ_n which_o be_v far_o better_a for_o himself_o sure_o he_o that_o have_v so_o passionate_a a_o zeal_n to_o gain_v soul_n unto_o christ_n will_v never_o have_v think_v it_o far_o better_a to_o sleep_v a_o thousand_o year_n than_o to_o gain_v a_o thousand_o soul_n thus_o to_o die_v be_v a_o dull_a stupid_a gain_n much_o disagree_v with_o his_o active_a soul_n and_o as_o much_o disagree_v with_o the_o clear_a current_n of_o scripture_n what_o can_v be_v clear_a than_o those_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n unto_o the_o thief_n on_o the_o cross_n this_o day_n thou_o shall_v be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n which_o must_v needs_o be_v understand_v of_o his_o soul_n live_v after_o the_o death_n of_o his_o body_n on_o the_o cross._n for_o sure_a our_o saviour_n take_v not_o the_o have_v soul_n into_o paradise_n to_o sleep_v with_o he_o but_o to_o rejoice_v with_o he_o there_o have_v christ_n intend_v sleep_v he_o will_v rather_o have_v say_v this_o night_n thou_o shall_v be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n i_o suppose_v the_o main_a cause_n that_o move_v they_o to_o this_o sleepy_a imagination_n be_v their_o wisdom_n think_v it_o not_o reasonable_a that_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n shall_v at_o death_n receive_v the_o recompense_n of_o good_a or_o evil_a in_o heaven_n or_o hell_n and_o thence_o come_v out_o again_o to_o the_o general_n judgement_n have_v before_o past_o their_o particular_a judgement_n i_o wish_v these_o over-wise_a man_n will_v leave_v these_o matter_n to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n to_o determine_v for_o my_o part_n i_o shall_v determine_v no_o more_o than_o the_o scripture_n plain_o declare_v viz._n that_o the_o soul_n of_o good_a man_n after_o death_n have_v some_o happy_a be_v where_o with_o st._n paul_n they_o enjoy_v christ_n frequent_o at_o least_o if_o not_o always_o the_o soul_n of_o wicked_a man_n some_o miserable_a be_v at_o a_o vast_a distance_n from_o the_o godly_a divide_v by_o a_o unpassable_a gulf_n as_o dives_n be_v from_o lazarus_n but_o whether_o these_o place_n be_v the_o heaven_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o hell_n of_o hell_n i_o will_v not_o now_o dispute_v but_o shall_v in_o a_o short_a time_n certain_o know_v in_o the_o interim_n i_o rest_v satisfy_v with_o s._n paul_n assurance_n that_o death_n will_v be_v a_o gain_n and_o convey_v i_o to_o some_o place_n where_o i_o shall_v enjoy_v christ_n my_o bless_a redeemer_n we_o have_v yet_o another_o generation_n of_o man_n who_o call_v themselves_o christian_n and_o will_v be_v call_v wit_n but_o i_o can_v call_v they_o neither_o they_o have_v no_o belief_n in_o the_o promise_n of_o christ_n for_o a_o future_a life_n but_o make_v a_o mock_n of_o this_o as_o a_o idle_a dream_n it_o be_v strange_a that_o man_n who_o have_v so_o high_a a_o conceit_n of_o themselves_o shall_v make_v use_n of_o their_o wit_n thus_o to_o debase_v themselves_o certain_o this_o be_v great_a folly_n god_n have_v make_v man_n but_o a_o little_a low_o than_o the_o angel_n by_o give_v he_o a_o eternal_a soul_n but_o they_o by_o deny_v the_o eternity_n of_o the_o soul_n make_v themselves_o as_o low_a as_o beast_n their_o soul_n die_v with_o their_o body_n without_o hope_n of_o future_a life_n if_o you_o ask_v they_o a_o reason_n for_o their_o opinion_n their_o sense_n be_v their_o reason_n they_o see_v no_o other_o life_n therefore_o they_o believe_v no_o other_o real_o i_o can_v never_o yet_o hear_v any_o thing_n else_o object_v thus_o they_o believe_v according_a to_o sense_n and_o live_v according_a to_o sense_n very_a beast_n in_o all_o but_o stupendous_a wit_n it_o be_v true_a when_o a_o man_n die_v and_o a_o beast_n die_v we_o see_v no_o more_o of_o man_n remain_v than_o of_o the_o beast_n but_o shall_v we_o be_v such_o beast_n as_o to_o make_v no_o use_n at_o all_o of_o our_o reason_n do_v not_o our_o reason_n evident_o show_v we_o that_o there_o be_v a_o vast_a difference_n betwixt_o our_o soul_n and_o the_o soul_n of_o beast_n by_o the_o many_o wonderful_a art_n and_o science_n which_o man_n arrive_v unto_o of_o which_o beast_n be_v not_o capable_a in_o the_o least_o degree_n and_o we_o may_v far_o urge_v the_o metaphysical_a speculation_n and_o spiritual_a contemplation_n of_o the_o soul_n whole_o independent_a of_o the_o body_n which_o strong_o prove_v the_o subsistency_n of_o the_o soul_n independent_a of_o the_o body_n as_o the_o learned_a well_o understand_v for_o a_o action_n presuppose_v the_o be_v of_o the_o actor_n but_o this_o be_v a_o argument_n too_o scholastic_a for_o this_o assembly_n therefore_o i_o shall_v not_o here_o enlarge_v upon_o it_o though_o methinks_v these_o man_n who_o will_v be_v think_v master_n of_o wit_n and_o reason_n shall_v be_v ashamed_a of_o their_o ignorance_n in_o this_o the_o master-part_n of_o reason_n but_o beast_n they_o will_v be_v and_o so_o let_v they_o be_v unfit_a to_o consort_v with_o know_v wise_a man_n who_o in_o all_o age_n all_o the_o world_n over_o have_v this_o belief_n of_o a_o future_a life_n which_o be_v so_o universal_a must_v needs_o proceed_v from_o the_o instinct_n of_o nature_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o inner_a light_n infuse_v into_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n by_o god_n the_o creator_n together_o with_o a_o feel_n and_o please_a expectation_n of_o future_a felicity_n thus_o far_o heathen_n go_v but_o we_o christian_n have_v a_o far_o and_o much_o clear_a light_n from_o our_o saviour_n christ_n who_o plain_o teach_v this_o and_o evident_o confirm_v it_o by_o innumerable_a miracle_n which_o he_o do_v in_o his_o life_n and_o chief_o by_o his_o rise_n again_o after_o death_n so_o full_o attest_v do_v not_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o man_n in_o all_o nation_n receive_v for_o truth_n
