A63319	An antidote against sinfull palpitation of the heart, or fear of death humbly offered to mens serious thoughts because sadly occasioned by that dreadfull plague and those horrid fears of death that have seized this present generation in England whom either greater sins, or weaker graces, or both together, have rendred more then ever timorous : made up of that singular and sovereign scripture, Hebrews 2, 15 ... / by Robert Tatnall ...

i_o shall_v only_o add_v that_o this_o freedom_n from_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n be_v a_o privilege_n christ_n have_v purchase_v for_o this_o present_a state_n for_o this_o life_n now_o what_o

and_o thy_o own_o conscience_n to_o wound_v thou_o oh_o look_v to_o thyself_o make_v haste_n for_o death_n hasten_v apace_o o_o what_o true_a child_n of_o god_n but_o will_v so_o long_o to_o be_v rid_v of_o this_o disingenuous_a temper_n of_o fear_v death_n as_o to_o be_v even_o hourly_o on_o his_o knee_n beg_v of_o christ_n this_o benefit_n of_o his_o glorious_o conquer_a death_n which_o if_o

portion_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o and_o fit_v for_o this_o present_a life_n even_o before_o death_n come_v to_o encounter_v we_o well_o abandon_v these_o fear_n with_o the_o ground_n of_o they_o and_o then_o though_o death_n come_v quick_o yet_o through_o christ_n you_o will_v grapple_v well_o enough_o with_o it_o and_o oh_o that_o man_n be_v wise_a to_o get_v from_o christ_n by_o all_o constant_a importunity_n some_o of_o this_o bless_a deliverance_n from_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n and_o oh_o that_o by_o a_o continual_a carelessness_n because_o not_o present_o seize_v by_o the_o

the_o servile_a fear_n of_o their_o own_o then_o let_v such_o consider_v this_o counsel_n which_o the_o scripture_n give_v in_o the_o case_n first_o have_v a_o care_n of_o harbour_v one_o moment_n any_o know_v or_o knowable_a guilt_n for_o it_o receive_v from_o the_o condemn_a law_n strength_n to_o arm_v death_n with_o i_o wonder_v not_o that_o those_o saint_n who_o have_v at_o any_o time_n much_o guilt_n upon_o their_o spirit_n do_v then_o fear_v death_n if_o sin_n be_v not_o examine_v and_o find_v out_o which_o be_v not_o do_v by_o many_o saint_n who_o even_o justify_v themselves_o in_o some_o sin_n not_o judge_v they_o to_o be_v sin_n nor_o much_o care_v to_o examine_v lest_o they_o shall_v prove_v sin_n and_o so_o to_o be_v part_v with_o contrary_a to_o a_o dear_a humour_n and_o so_o call_v good_a evil_n and_o evil_a good_a no_o wonder_n in_o such_o a_o case_n that_o the_o woe_n belong_v to_o such_o when_o execute_v as_o well_o as_o threaten_v fright_v they_o if_o saint_n for_o want_n of_o due_a consideration_n and_o examine_v themselves_o do_v not_o only_o commit_v but_o continue_v in_o sin_n unrepented_a of_o as_o the_o plague_v corinthian_n no_o wonder_n that_o they_o be_v surprise_v not_o only_o with_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n but_o with_o sudden_a death_n itself_o oh_o shake_v your_o conscience_n rouse_v they_o up_o to_o discharge_v their_o office_n faithful_o let_v your_o heart_n smite_v you_o for_o the_o least_o sin_n or_o evil_a thought_n and_o oh_o harbour_v not_o guilt_n let_v it_o not_o lodge_v with_o you_o one_o night_n no_o not_o a_o hour_n for_o so_o long_o you_o will_v be_v liable_a to_o horrid_a fear_n of_o die_v it_o be_v so_o and_o the_o very_a truth_n of_o many_o saint_n condition_n therefore_o find_v out_o that_o which_o trouble_v your_o peace_n and_o provoke_v god_n to_o leave_v you_o to_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n find_v it_o out_o labour_n for_o the_o assistance_n of_o christ_n spirit_n for_o one_o look_v from_o christ_n for_o one_o manifestation_n of_o god_n love_n that_o may_v break_v your_o heart_n and_o make_v you_o weep_v bitter_o repent_v and_o grieve_v thorough_o thus_o shall_v not_o sin_v come_v upon_o you_o with_o a_o afterclap_n with_o a_o repentance_n to_o be_v repent_v of_o weep_v for_o sin_n according_a to_o the_o demand_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o require_v not_o a_o little_a grief_n though_o less_o than_o sin_n deserve_v for_o it_o deserve_v hell_n weep_v and_o wail_v and_o gnash_n of_o tooth_n do_v this_o believe_v and_o repent_v repent_v and_o believe_v and_o than_o you_o will_v find_v in_o your_o heart_n little_a or_o no_o fear_n of_o death_n for_o peace_n of_o conscience_n will_v thus_o become_v firm_a and_o will_v cast_v and_o keep_v they_o out_o yea_o defend_v the_o heart_n through_o christ_n i_o say_v therefore_o daily_o yea_o hourly_a exercise_n faith_n together_o with_o repentance_n that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o vigorous_a faith_n which_o be_v never_o forlorn_a or_o forsake_v of_o good_a work_n and_o such_o a_o faith_n in_o christ_n will_v be_v your_o victory_n over_o all_o base_a fear_n of_o death_n be_v not_o then_o o_o soul_n too_o

of_o sin_n as_o before_o god_n tribunal_n indeed_o no_o less_o faith_n will_v serve_v your_o turn_n than_o such_o as_o will_v carry_v you_o bold_o from_o your_o knee_n through_o death_n to_o

this_o text_n manage_v with_o faith_n will_v fright_v the_o devil_n more_o than_o he_o can_v fright_v you_o this_o text_n be_v in_o this_o case_n like_o goliahs_n sword_n none_o like_o it_o take_v god_n word_n for_o it_o will_v wound_v he_o and_o make_v he_o run_v too_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n well_o thus_o resist_v the_o devil_n fear_v he_o not_o he_o be_v a_o conquer_a enemy_n christ_n have_v destroy_v he_o that_o have_v the_o power_n of_o death_n say_v the_o apostle_n and_o therefore_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o resist_v he_o for_o two_o reason_n first_o because_o your_o captain_n have_v do_v it_o it_o be_v fit_a for_o soldier_n to_o fight_v against_o such_o as_o their_o general_n charges_n it_o be_v not_o fit_a for_o you_o to_o yield_v to_o the_o devil_n temptation_n to_o fear_v death_n when_o as_o christ_n the_o captain_n of_o your_o salvation_n have_v overcome_v he_o as_o his_o and_o your_o enemy_n destroy_v he_o that_o have_v the_o power_n of_o death_n this_o be_v to_o raise_v arm_n with_o the_o devil_n and_o to_o strengthen_v he_o against_o christ_n and_o your_o own_o life_n too_o but_o second_o i_o advise_v this_o because_o it_o be_v the_o way_n of_o christ_n his_o method_n of_o rid_v his_o child_n from_o fear_n he_o first_o destroy_v he_o that_o have_v the_o power_n of_o death_n that_o be_v the_o devil_n and_o all_o this_o that_o he_o may_v deliver_v his_o people_n from_o fear_n of_o die_v so_o do_v you_o follow_v christ_n method_n of_o war_n will_v you_o be_v deliver_v indeed_o by_o christ_n from_o the_o bondage_n fear_v of_o
