rich_a covetous_a man_n which_o spend_v the_o whole_a course_n of_o their_o life_n in_o provide_v for_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n do_v true_o consider_v of_o death_n and_o that_o their_o end_n draw_v nigh_o will_v they_o do_v as_o they_o do_v when_o this_o life_n and_o all_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n and_o all_o our_o joy_n and_o pleasure_n of_o this_o world_n shall_v short_o have_v a_o end_n for_o when_o death_n come_v they_o shall_v all_o be_v take_v from_o we_o or_o rather_o we_o from_o they_o oh_o how_o excellent_a a_o thing_n be_v it_o then_o for_o we_o to_o be_v draw_v from_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n unto_o a_o due_a consideration_n of_o death_n and_o of_o those_o heavenly_a joy_n and_o happiness_n to_o come_v oh_o you_o that_o look_v for_o these_o thing_n what_o manner_n of_o man_n ought_v you_o to_o be_v in_o holy_a life_n and_o conversation_n three_o see_v we_o all_o must_v die_v and_o this_o present_a life_n must_v come_v to_o a_o end_n this_o shall_v teach_v we_o to_o prepare_v ourselves_o for_o a_o better_a life_n to_o provide_v for_o a_o sure_a building_n a_o better_a estate_n which_o shall_v never_o perish_v philosopher_n who_o be_v but_o heathen_a man_n can_v meditate_v on_o death_n set_v it_o always_o before_o their_o eye_n but_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o that_o be_v christian_n we_o can_v true_o prepare_v ourselves_o for_o it_o unless_o we_o first_o build_v a_o sure_a foundation_n in_o provide_v for_o a_o better_a life_n which_o shall_v never_o have_v a_o end_n and_o this_o no_o heathen_a or_o wicked_a man_n can_v ever_o do_v oh_o how_o woeful_a will_v that_o message_n be_v unto_o a_o wicked_a man_n that_o be_v bring_v unto_o good_a king_n hezekiah_n comes_n set_v thy_o house_n in_o order_n for_o thou_o must_v die_v and_o not_o live_v and_o why_o shall_v it_o be_v terribl_a unto_o he_o sure_o because_o he_o have_v no_o hope_n of_o a_o better_a life_n he_o have_v not_o provide_v for_o a_o better_a habitation_n consider_v then_o with_o what_o comfort_n thou_o can_v entertain_v this_o message_n with_o what_o comfort_n can_v thou_o meet_v with_o death_n for_o he_o be_v no_o christian_n that_o can_v in_o some_o measure_n willing_o meet_v with_o death_n for_o by_o it_o we_o pass_v unto_o a_o better_a life_n for_o as_o this_o our_o brother_n speak_v often_o he_o that_o will_v have_v comfort_n in_o death_n must_v look_v beyond_o death_n he_o must_v not_o fix_v his_o eye_n on_o the_o terror_n of_o death_n but_o he_o must_v look_v beyond_o to_o that_o glorious_a inheritance_n to_o which_o we_o be_v pass_v through_o death_n and_o there_o shall_v he_o behold_v his_o saviour_n put_v forth_o his_o hand_n ready_a to_o receive_v he_o there_o shall_v he_o see_v the_o bless_a saint_n and_o angel_n who_o company_n he_o shall_v enjoy_v beside_o a_o infinite_a heap_n of_o joy_n and_o happiness_n that_o be_v prepare_v for_o he_o also_o o_o my_o belove_a nothing_o will_v make_v we_o willing_o to_o entertain_v the_o message_n of_o death_n but_o only_o the_o comfort_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v oh_o let_v we_o labour_v then_o for_o these_o comfort_n that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v provide_v against_o death_n be_v it_o not_o a_o foolishness_n for_o a_o man_n who_o be_v a_o tenant_n at_o will_n and_o short_o to_o be_v turn_v out_o of_o his_o house_n never_o to_o take_v care_n for_o another_o until_o he_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o door_n belove_a we_o be_v all_o tenant_n at_o will_n and_o we_o be_v very_o short_o to_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o our_o dwell_a house_n of_o clay_n and_o shall_v we_o not_o provide_v for_o a_o sure_a habitation_n death_n be_v at_o hand_n and_o our_o life_n must_v short_o have_v a_o end_n let_v we_o therefore_o labour_n to_o be_v assure_v of_o a_o better_a life_n when_o this_o be_v end_v that_o so_o with_o comfort_n we_o may_v meet_v with_o death_n now_o we_o come_v unto_o the_o second_o point_n which_o be_v here_o to_o be_v consider_v take_v from_o the_o complaint_n of_o the_o prophet_n that_o the_o people_n do_v not_o consider_v nor_o lay_v it_o to_o heart_n viz_o the_o death_n of_o the_o righteous_a whence_o i_o note_v that_o the_o death_n loss_n of_o good_a man_n must_v be_v lay_v to_o heart_n as_o a_o special_a cause_n of_o grief_n and_o sorrow_n we_o ought_v just_o to_o be_v grieve_v at_o the_o death_n of_o a_o righteous_a man_n when_o god_n take_v he_o from_o among_o we_o how_o do_v the_o prophet_n jeremy_n and_o the_o people_n lament_v the_o death_n of_o that_o good_a king_n josiah_n 2_o chron._n 35._o 23._o so_o devout_a man_n make_v great_a lamentation_n for_o the_o death_n of_o stephen_n act._n 8._o 2._o so_o all_o israel_n lament_v the_o death_n of_o moses_n deur_n 34._o 8._o and_o joash_n the_o king_n of_o israel_n weep_v for_o the_o death_n of_o the_o prophet_n elisha_n 2_o king_n 13._o 14._o and_o thus_o we_o shall_v lament_v and_o sorrow_n for_o the_o death_n of_o any_o righteous_a man_n yet_o not_o in_o respect_n of_o themselves_o as_o if_o their_o case_n be_v worse_o now_o then_o before_o for_o they_o be_v now_o more_o happy_a but_o first_o in_o regard_n of_o god_n glory_n whereof_o they_o be_v instrument_n to_o set_v it_o forth_o for_o since_o they_o be_v take_v away_o god_n glory_n be_v impair_v because_o there_o be_v the_o few_o leave_v which_o do_v true_o serve_v and_o worship_v he_o for_o as_o david_n say_v the_o dead_a praise_n not_o the_o lord_n etc._n etc._n psal_n 115._o 17._o so_o then_o they_o be_v dead_a do_v not_o praise_v the_o lord_n among_o the_o faithful_a on_o earth_n any_o long_o second_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o great_a loss_n that_o other_o have_v by_o their_o death_n who_o have_v always_o receive_v much_o good_a by_o they_o in_o their_o life_n for_o the_o godly_a do_v so_o order_v and_o behave_v themselves_o in_o all_o their_o way_n that_o they_o do_v good_a wheresoever_o they_o come_v therefore_o when_o they_o die_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o great_a loss_n unto_o such_o who_o might_n if_o they_o have_v live_v be_v better_v by_o they_o three_o we_o ought_v to_o lament_v the_o death_n of_o the_o righteous_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o evil_a to_o come_v for_o while_o they_o live_v they_o be_v as_o a_o wall_n about_o we_o to_o keep_v god_n judgement_n from_o we_o if_o there_o have_v be_v but_o ten_o righteous_a man_n in_o sodom_n it_o have_v not_o be_v destroy_v gen._n 18._o 32._o if_o there_o be_v a_o messenger_n one_o among_o a_o thousand_o say_v elihu_n to_o show_v unto_o man_n his_o uprightnes_n then_o be_v god_n gracious_a unto_o he_o job_n 33._o 23._o run_v you_o to_o and_o fro_o in_o the_o street_n of_o jerusalem_n say_v god_n and_o see_v if_o you_o can_v find_v a_o man_n if_o there_o be_v any_o that_o execute_v judgement_n and_o seek_v the_o lord_n and_o i_o will_v pardon_v it_o jer._n 5._o 1._o so_o that_o if_o there_o have_v be_v but_o one_o righteous_a man_n among_o the_o people_n in_o that_o city_n the_o lord_n will_v have_v spare_v they_o even_o for_o that_o one_o sake_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n speak_v of_o the_o righteous_a say_v i_o will_v fasten_v he_o as_o a_o nail_n in_o a_o sure_a place_n he_o shall_v be_v as_o a_o glorious_a throne_n unto_o his_o father_n house_n isaiah_n 22._o 23._o oh_o consider_v then_o what_o a_o loss_n we_o have_v when_o the_o righteous_a dye_n we_o be_v like_a to_o perish_v when_o the_o nail_n that_o be_v in_o the_o sure_a place_n be_v remove_v cut_v down_o and_o fall_v for_o then_o the_o burden_n that_o be_v upon_o it_o shall_v be_v cut_v off_o isaiah_n 22._o 25._o you_o therefore_o of_o this_o congregation_n consider_v and_o lament_v for_o this_o your_o loss_n in_o that_o this_o good_a man_n be_v take_v from_o among_o you_o for_o who_o know_v whether_o god_n spare_v this_o congregation_n even_o for_o this_o good_a man_n sake_n for_o it_o be_v the_o righteous_a only_o that_o god_n respect_n and_o for_o their_o sake_n he_o will_v spare_v a_o whole_a people_n therefore_o sure_o as_o solomon_n say_v the_o righteous_a be_v better_a than_o his_o neighbour_n yea_o though_o never_o so_o poor_a and_o despise_v in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o be_v they_o precious_a in_o god_n account_n when_o i_o make_v up_o my_o jewel_n say_v god_n i_o will_v spare_v they_o mala._n 3._o 17._o so_o that_o the_o righteous_a be_v god_n jewel_n the_o excellent_a of_o the_o earth_n be_v precious_a in_o god_n sight_n and_o have_v we_o not_o great_a cause_n then_o to_o lament_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o such_o see_v then_o it_o become_v all_o god_n child_n to_o lament_v the_o death_n of_o the_o righteous_a o_o how_o far_o then_o be_v all_o such_o from_o the_o
