be_v possible_a to_o prevent_v they_o their_o death_n be_v a_o plain_a prognostication_n of_o some_o evil_n to_o come_v and_o shall_v be_v as_o a_o trumpet_n to_o awaken_v other_o out_o of_o the_o sleep_n of_o sin_n many_o of_o the_o wicked_a rejoice_v when_o the_o godly_a be_v take_v away_o from_o they_o they_o love_v their_o room_n better_a than_o their_o company_n they_o hate_v they_o and_o their_o profession_n in_o their_o life_n time_n because_o as_o they_o say_v they_o be_v not_o for_o our_o profit_n and_o they_o be_v contrary_a to_o our_o do_n they_o check_v we_o for_o offend_v against_o the_o law_n it_o grieve_v we_o to_o look_v upon_o they_o for_o their_o life_n be_v not_o like_o other_o man_n and_o therefore_o at_o their_o death_n they_o be_v glad_a that_o they_o be_v rid_v of_o they_o when_o indeed_o they_o have_v great_a cause_n to_o howl_v and_o weep_v for_o the_o misery_n that_o shall_v come_v upon_o they_o the_o righteous_a need_v not_o to_o imitate_v the_o ungodly_a practice_n of_o herod_n who_o be_v ready_a to_o die_v and_o think_v that_o his_o death_n will_v be_v a_o great_a joy_n to_o many_o shut_v up_o in_o prison_n some_o nobleman_n in_o every_o town_n and_o require_v his_o sister_n salome_n and_o her_o husband_n alexa_n that_o so_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v dead_a they_o shall_v kill_v those_o nobleman_n and_o then_o all_o judea_n will_v lament_v his_o death_n the_o lord_n himself_o do_v often_o make_v the_o death_n of_o the_o righteous_a to_o be_v lament_v by_o send_v of_o extraordinary_a judgement_n immediate_o after_o their_o death_n when_o noah_n enter_v into_o the_o ark_n the_o world_n be_v drown_v with_o the_o flood_n when_o lot_n depart_v out_o of_o sodom_n it_o be_v burn_v with_o fire_n 2_o in_o this_o respect_n also_o the_o righteous_a have_v no_o cause_n to_o fear_v death_n but_o rather_o to_o desire_v it_o for_o what_o be_v it_o but_o a_o end_n of_o some_o trouble_n and_o a_o prevent_n of_o other_o they_o may_v with_o paul_n desire_v to_o be_v loose_v &_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n which_o be_v best_a of_o all_o it_o be_v true_a which_o solomon_n say_v that_o the_o day_n of_o a_o man_n death_n be_v better_a than_o the_o day_n of_o his_o birth_n for_o the_o day_n of_o a_o godly_a man_n birth_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o his_o misery_n but_o the_o day_n of_o his_o death_n be_v the_o end_n of_o his_o misery_n indeed_o the_o day_n of_o a_o wicked_a man_n death_n be_v the_o most_o woeful_a day_n that_o ever_o be●ell_v he_o for_o he_o be_v not_o take_v away_o from_o the_o evil_a to_o come_v but_o he_o be_v take_v unto_o evil_a to_o be_v torment_v in_o hell_n for_o evermore_o and_o therefore_o he_o fear_v death_n as_o much_o as_o a_o malefactor_n fear_v a_o sergeant_n that_o come_v to_o carry_v he_o to_o prison_n where_o he_o be_v like_a to_o abide_v till_o the_o day_n of_o execution_n that_o be_v true_a in_o they_o which_o the_o devil_n say_v skin_n for_o skin_n and_o all_o that_o ever_o a_o man_n have_v will_v he_o give_v for_o his_o life_n and_o as_o the_o gibeonite_n be_v content_v rather_o to_o be_v bondman_n &_o hewer_n of_o wood_n and_o drawer_n of_o water_n then_o to_o be_v kill_v by_o the_o israelite_n as_o other_o nation_n be_v so_o they_o have_v rather_o endure_v any_o kind_n of_o misery_n then_o to_o die_v as_o other_o do_v because_o they_o fear_v a_o worse_a estate_n after_o death_n and_o therefore_o must_v be_v pull_v from_o the_o earth_n with_o as_o great_a violence_n as_o joab_n be_v pull_v from_o the_o horn_n of_o the_o altar_n unto_o which_o he_o have_v flee_v as_o to_o a_o place_n of_o refuge_n but_o the_o godly_a know_v what_o a_o happy_a exchange_n they_o make_v by_o death_n they_o desire_v to_o die_v so_o soon_o as_o it_o please_v the_o lord_n indeed_o none_o ought_v for_o the_o end_n of_o present_a calamity_n or_o prevent_v of_o future_a misery_n to_o shorten_v their_o own_o day_n as_o saul_n do_v by_o fall_v on_o his_o own_o sword_n nor_o yet_o for_o the_o present_a enjoy_n of_o eternal_a happiness_n procure_v their_o own_o death_n as_o cleombrotus_n do_v who_o read_v plato_n his_o book_n of_o the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n cast_v himself_o headlong_o from_o a_o wall_n that_o he_o may_v change_v this_o life_n for_o a_o better_a he_o only_o who_o give_v life_n must_v take_v it_o away_o and_o the_o lord_n may_v say_v to_o such_o i_o will_v receive_v no_o soul_n which_o against_o my_o will_n have_v go_v out_o of_o the_o body_n the_o philosopher_n which_o do_v so_o be_v martyr_n of_o foolish_a philosophy_n yet_o see_v that_o death_n free_v the_o righteous_a from_o present_a and_o future_a misery_n they_o may_v be_v most_o willing_a to_o die_v so_o soon_o as_o the_o lord_n call_v for_o they_o and_o when_o death_n approach_v may_v say_v with_o simeon_n lord_n now_o let_v thou_o thy_o servant_n depart_v in_o peace_n 3_o last_o in_o this_o respect_n we_o must_v learn_v not_o to_o mourn_v immoderate_o for_o the_o death_n of_o the_o righteous_a though_o we_o receive_v great_a comfort_n and_o enjoy_v some_o benefit_n by_o they_o while_o they_o be_v alive_a as_o i_o do_v by_o my_o late_a master_n sir_n james_n cambel_n yet_o see_v that_o death_n be_v a_o advantage_n unto_o they_o we_o shall_v ●ee_n content_v patient_o to_o bear_v our_o own_o loss_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o great_a gain_n if_o two_o friend_n shall_v lie_v in_o prison_n together_o or_o shall_v dwell_v together_o in_o a_o strange_a country_n where_o both_o of_o they_o be_v hardly_o use_v be_v many_o way_n injure_v endure_v great_a want_n and_o sustain_v much_o misery_n though_o they_o love_v one_o another_o dear_o and_o the_o one_o be_v a_o he●pe_n and_o comfort_n to_o the_o other_o yet_o if_o the_o one_o shall_v be_v take_v from_o the_o other_o and_o bring_v to_o his_o chief_a friend_n and_o among_o they_o be_v not_o only_o free_v from_o all_o such_o misery_n as_o before_o he_o have_v endure_v but_o also_o be_v advance_v to_o great_a preferment_n will_v the_o other_o which_o be_v leave_v behind_o he_o be_v discontent_v at_o it_o will_v he_o not_o rather_o wish_v himself_o to_o be_v there_o with_o he_o in_o the_o like_a then_o desire_v that_o either_o he_o have_v stay_v with_o he_o or_o may_v return_v again_o this_o our_o life_n be_v as_o a_o prison_n or_o strange_a country_n in_o

great_a glory_n with_o christ_n and_o his_o saint_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n we_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o wish_v that_o either_o they_o have_v stay_v long_o with_o we_o or_o may_v return_v again_o unto_o we_o but_o rather_o desire_v that_o we_o may_v quick_o go_v unto_o they_o to_o be_v glorify_v in_o like_a sort_n though_o we_o may_v think_v that_o they_o die_v too_o soon_o for_o we_o yet_o they_o die_v not_o too_o soon_o for_o themselves_o for_o the_o soon_o they_o come_v to_o rest_v and_o happiness_n the_o better_a it_o be_v for_o they_o their_o condition_n be_v far_o better_a

rash_o judge_v any_o as_o be_v before_o specify_v and_o rather_o judge_v charitable_o of_o all_o then_o uncharitable_o of_o any_o but_o christ_n word_n be_v most_o certain_o true_a that_o a_o bad_a

of_o the_o clock_n in_o the_o morning_n and_o one_o thing_n i_o can_v but_o observe_v that_o when_o any_o come_v to_o visit_v he_o during_o those_o four_o day_n viz._n from_o saturday_n to_o
