time_n the_o spirit_n use_v to_o sustain_v and_o comfort_v we_o most_o in_o our_o great_a necessity_n we_o need_v not_o comfort_n against_o death_n so_o much_o in_o the_o time_n of_o prosperity_n and_o health_n as_o when_o death_n draw_v near_o in_o health_n we_o have_v ordinary_o more_o need_n of_o quicken_a then_o of_o comfort_v and_o more_o need_n to_o be_v awaken_v from_o security_n to_o a_o due_a preparation_n for_o death_n then_o to_o be_v free_v from_o the_o terrible_a fore-thought_n of_o it_o though_o inordinate_a fear_n of_o death_n be_v hurtful_a to_o we_o security_n and_o

the_o lively_a sense_n of_o the_o joy_n beyond_o it_o to_o abate_v the_o enmity_n and_o encourage_v the_o depart_a soul_n and_o if_o the_o comfort_n be_v but_o small_a it_o be_v precious_a because_o

use_n we_o shall_v make_v of_o it_o for_o the_o strengthen_n of_o our_o faith_n it_o be_v not_o only_o impossible_a to_o man_n to_o conquer_v death_n by_o his_o own_o strength_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v conquer_v by_o christ_n but_o it_o be_v also_o beyond_o our_o power_n to_o believe_v it_o that_o ever_o the_o dead_a shall_v rise_v to_o life_n if_o christ_n have_v not_o rise_v as_o the_o first_o fruit_n and_o convince_a man_n by_o eyesight_n or_o certain_a testimony_n that_o the_o thing_n be_v possible_a and_o already_o do_v but_o now_o what_o a_o pillar_n be_v here_o for_o faith_n what_o a_o word_n of_o hope_n and_o joy_n be_v this_o that_o christ_n be_v rise_v with_o this_o we_o will_v answer_v a_o thousand_o cavil_n of_o the_o tempter_n and_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o enemy_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o profligate_v our_o infidelity_n as_o unlikely_a as_o it_o seem_v to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n shall_v we_o ever_o doubt_v whether_o we_o shall_v rise_v again_o when_o the_o lord_n come_v down_o in_o flesh_n among_o we_o that_o he_o may_v die_v and_o rise_v again_o himself_o to_o show_v we_o as_o to_o our_o face_n that_o we_o shall_v rise_v this_o be_v the_o very_a

the_o very_a day_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n have_v keep_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n as_o a_o holy_a festival_n in_o remembrance_n of_o it_o wherein_o though_o they_o commemorate_a

that_o it_o be_v most_o probable_a that_o all_o the_o six_o day_n of_o the_o week_n have_v not_o beget_v half_o so_o many_o soul_n for_o heaven_n as_o this_o bless_a day_n of_o the_o lord_n
