avaunce_v to_o know_v and_o to_o love_v this_o benefit_n of_o death_n it_o be_v a_o hard_a say_n and_o difficul_n to_o say_v that_o the_o death_n which_o be_v to_o other_o the_o greatist_n of_o all_o evelles_fw-la be_v to_o we_o the_o most_o excellent_a gain_n and_o profit_n and_o if_o jesꝰ_n christ_n have_v not_o wrought_v this_o good_a in_o we_o what_o profit_n be_v it_o for_o we_o to_o habandon_v and_o forsake_v ourselves_o but_o this_o wurke_n that_o he_o have_v wrought_v in_o we_o be_v a_o singular_a divine_a wurk_n for_o this_o cause_n no_o man_n ought_v to_o dismay_v for_o he_o have_v make_v the_o evel_a of_o death_n to_o be_v turn_v to_o most_o good_a and_o profit_n wherefore_o death_n be_v now_o to_o the_o faithful_a dead_a and_o be_v not_o terrible_a but_o only_o the_o outward_a appearance_n even_o as_o a_o slay_a serpent_n have_v yet_o remain_v the_o terrible_a figure_n or_o appearance_n of_o a_o serpent_n that_o he_o have_v and_o yet_o be_v it_o but_o the_o figure_n or_o image_n so_o there_o be_v but_o one_o evel_a dead_a and_o it_o may_v no_o more_o noy_n or_o hurt_n us._n and_o also_o as_o moses_n command_v to_o make_v a_o serpent_n of_o brass_n and_o to_o behold_v and_o look_v upon_o it_o do_v put_v away_o the_o sting_a of_o the_o quick_a serpentꝭ_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the._n 21._o of_o numery_n likewise_o if_o our_o death_n be_v look_v upon_o with_o a_o godly_a eye_n and_o steadfast_a in_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n it_o perish_v and_o nothing_o appear_v but_o only_a y_fw-mi e_o figure_n of_o death_n so_o love_o do_v the_o bountifulness_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n entreat_v we_o which_o yet_o be_v weaklinge_n and_o infirm_a through_o these_o and_o such_o like_a figure_n because_o of_o necessity_n death_n must_v take_v we_o away_o nevertheless_o he_o have_v so_o overcome_v and_o bring_v to_o nought_o the_o strength_n and_o power_n of_o death_n that_o to_o we_o remain_v no_o more_o but_o the_o only_a figure_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n the_o scripture_n do_v rather_o call_v it_o a_o sleep_n then_o a_o death_n the_o second_o benefit_n of_o death_n be_v that_o not_o only_o it_o make_v a_o end_n of_o pain_n and_o evelles_fw-la of_o this_o present_a life_n but_o also_o bring_v a_o more_o excellent_a thing_n that_o be_v a_o end_n of_o vice_n and_o sin_n the_o which_o chief_o make_v death_n most_o desirable_a to_o the_o faithful_a soulꝭ_n yea_o more_o than_o do_v any_o worldly_a felicity_n as_o we_o have_v treat_v here_o before_o for_o true_o the_o evellꝭ_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v vice_n and_o sin_n be_v without_o comparison_n worse_o than_o the_o evelles_fw-la of_o the_o body_n for_o if_o we_o be_v wise_a these_o only_a evelles_fw-la in_o deed_n shall_v make_v to_o we_o death_n more_o desirable_a and_o more_o love_o to_o embrace_v it_o which_o if_o it_o do_v not_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o we_o feel_v not_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o feel_v nor_o yet_o do_v sufficient_o hate_v the_o evelles_fw-la of_o our_o soulle_n consider_v that_o this_o life_n be_v subject_a to_o many_o danger_n and_o the_o falling_n and_o slide_v of_o sin_n do_v compass_v we_o about_o with_o snare_n on_o every_o side_n and_o final_o we_o can_v live_v without_o sin_n behold_v then_o that_o death_n be_v a_o most_o singular_a good_a remedy_n for_o it_o deliver_v we_o from_o these_o danger_n it_o cut_v we_o away_o and_o deliver_v we_o whole_o from_o sin_n and_o therefore_o the_o author_n of_o the_o book_n of_o sapience_n conclude_v in_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o righteouse_a in_o the._n 4._o

desire_n turn_v away_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o siple_n o_o how_o true_a be_v these_o thingꝭ_n &_o how_o do_v we_o see_v this_o to_o come_v pass_v daily_o and_o in_o a_o other_o text_n though_o he_o be_v soon_o dead_a yet_o fulfil_v he_o much_o time_n for_o his_o soul_n please_v god_n therefore_o he_o haste_v to_o take_v he_o away_o from_o among_o the_o wicked_a so_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n that_o the_o death_n which_o be_v the_o pain_n of_o sin_n to_o man_n be_v now_o make_v the_o end_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o beginning_n of_o life_n and_o righteousness_n to_o the_o christian_n therefore_o of_o necessity_n he_o that_o love_v life_n and_o ryghteousnesse_n love_v also_o death_n which_o be_v the_o minister_n and_o the_o shop_n of_o life_n and_o be_v in_o no_o case_n afraid_a of_o it_o for_o otherwise_o he_o shall_v never_o attain_v to_o life_n nor_o righteousness_n and_o he_o that_o can_v so_o do_v let_v he_o be_v diligent_a to_o pray_v to_o god_n that_o he_o may_v have_v such_o aminde_v for_o the_o cause_n why_o god_n teach_v we_o to_o say_v thy_o will_n be_v do_v be_v that_o we_o can_v not_o desire_v this_o of_o our_o self_n but_o we_o rather_o do_v abhor_v death_n so_o that_o we_o do_v rather_o love_n sin_n and_o death_n then_o life_n and_o righteousness_n therefore_o do_v god_n ordain_v death_n for_o the_o destruction_n of_o sin_n for_o we_o may_v gather_v by_o this_o that_o incontinent_a after_o sin_n he_o set_v &_o ordain_v death_n to_o adam_n as_o a_o deliverance_n from_o sin_n and_o that_o before_o he_o cast_v he_o out_o of_o paradise_n to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o will_v show_v we_o that_o death_n neither_o do_v nor_o wurk_v any_o evell_a in_o we_o but_o be_v the_o causer_n of_o all_o good_a for_o it_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o paradise_n in_o manner_n of_o a_o satisfaction_n but_o truth_n it_o be_v by_o the_o envy_n of_o the_o devel_n death_n be_v enter_v into_o the_o world_n but_o through_o the_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n he_o do_v cause_v that_o death_n be_v not_o hurtful_a to_o we_o but_o have_v ordain_v it_o from_o the_o beginning_n to_o be_v the_o punishment_n and_o death_n of_o sin_n for_o he_o signify_v the_o same_o when_o he_o speak_v before_o of_o death_n to_o adam_n in_o the_o commandment_n nevertheless_o he_o stay_v not_o in_o his_o wurd_n but_o pronounce_v death_n and_o qualify_v the_o rigour_n of_o the_o commandment_n but_o god_n do_v not_o in_o plain_a wurdꝭ_n declare_v death_n but_o only_o say_v thou_o be_v dust_n and_o into_o dust_n thou_o shall_v return_v item_n thou_o shall_v return_v into_o earth_n from_o the_o which_o thou_o be_v come_v as_o even_o then_o hate_v death_n will_v not_o name_v it_o as_o it_o be_v say_v wrath_n be_v in_o his_o

god_n take_v no_o other_o wepon_n against_o sin_n which_o have_v engender_v death_n but_o death_n it_o self_n here_o be_v fulfil_v that_o one_o say_v proper_o that_o the_o inventor_n of_o death_n be_v
