have_v overcome_v the_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n once_o what_o more_o be_v to_o be_v do_v what_o if_o they_o take_v away_o life_n they_o can_v take_v away_o that_o that_o be_v better_a than_o life_n the_o favour_n of_o god_n if_o we_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n we_o die_v in_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n which_o be_v better_o than_o life_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v find_v in_o the_o lord_n at_o the_o

we_o from_o all_o that_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v what_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v in_o the_o world_n every_o sickness_n every_o disgrace_n why_o death_n free_v we_o from_o all_o we_o do_v see_v every_o

awhile_o and_o death_n have_v no_o more_o power_n he_o that_o believe_v in_o i_o say_v christ_n he_o shall_v not_o see_v death_n but_o be_v pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n he_o shall_v not_o see_v

the_o best_a part_n of_o we_o we_o be_v represent_v in_o heaven_n for_o christ_n represent_v we_o there_o as_o the_o husband_n do_v the_o wife_n he_o have_v take_v up_o heaven_n for_o we_o christ_n can_v be_v divide_v heaven_n as_o austin_n say_v we_o sit_v in_o heavenly_a place_n already_o with_o christ_n and_o what_o a_o comfort_n be_v this_o that_o while_o we_o live_v we_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o that_o death_n can_v hinder_v we_o from_o our_o resurrection_n which_o be_v the_o restore_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v comfort_v one_o another_o with_o
