must_v then_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n at_o home_n in_o their_o house_n in_o their_o chamber_n and_o on_o their_o bed_n i_o do_v not_o speak_v this_o as_o that_o i_o hold_v it_o in_o all_o case_n

their_o body_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o sweet_a sleep_n they_o die_v not_o but_o sleep_n and_o so_o it_o be_v say_v of_o david_n solomon_n hezechias_n etc._n etc._n that_o they_o sleep_v with_o their_o father_n and_o so_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n death_n be_v usual_o term_v a_o sleep_n as_o when_o christ_n come_v to_o lazarus_n 11._o joh._n 11._o he_o say_v lazarus_n be_v not_o dead_a

the_o prophet_n 57.2_o esay_n 57.2_o and_o they_o shall_v rest_v in_o their_o bed_n every_o one_o that_o walk_v before_o the_o lord_n in_o righteousness_n now_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o resemblance_n be_v thus_o conceive_v reason_n 1_o first_o as_o such_o as_o lie_v down_o in_o their_o bed_n to_o sleep_v do_v not_o lie_v down_o for_o ever_o but_o rise_v again_o much_o refresh_v and_o more_o cheerful_a than_o before_o to_o do_v the_o work_n of_o life_n even_o so_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n and_o the_o body_n of_o his_o saint_n howsoever_o they_o taste_v of_o corruption_n do_v not_o perish_v in_o corruption_n but_o be_v lay_v in_o their_o grave_n as_o in_o a_o bed_n of_o down_o 14.13_o reu._n 14.13_o that_o so_o rest_v from_o their_o labour_n and_o from_o all_o pain_n and_o grief_n they_o may_v rise_v again_o at_o the_o last_o day_n to_o eternal_a life_n reason_n 2_o second_o a_o man_n that_o be_v asleep_a may_v be_v awake_v out_o of_o the_o same_o by_o another_o even_o so_o the_o dead_a be_v as_o easy_o reviue_v by_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n as_o the_o live_a man_n awake_v out_o of_o his_o shallow_a slumber_n use_v 1_o such_o than_o do_v err_v not_o know_v the_o scripture_n nor_o the_o power_n of_o god_n that_o teach_v and_o maintain_v that_o the_o body_n by_o death_n be_v resolve_v into_o its_o first_o principle_n without_o hope_n of_o restore_v to_o life_n as_o also_o against_o all_o sadducee_n that_o conclude_v against_o the_o article_n of_o our_o resurrection_n but_o not_o to_o stand_v on_o this_o use_v 2_o we_o learn_v here_o not_o so_o much_o to_o fear_v death_n for_o it_o can_v hurt_v the_o child_n of_o god_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o death_n to_o be_v fear_v of_o the_o godly_a it_o be_v the_o passage_n into_o life_n the_o body_n rest_v in_o the_o grave_n as_o in_o a_o bed_n until_o that_o great_a day_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v come_v when_o it_o shall_v rise_v again_o to_o life_n which_o may_v teach_v we_o likewise_o to_o moderate_v our_o lamentation_n for_o the_o departure_n of_o our_o friend_n 4.13_o 1._o thes_n 4.13_o brethren_n say_v paul_n i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o ignorant_a concern_v they_o that_o sleep_n in_o the_o lord_n that_o you_o shall_v mourn_v as_o man_n without_o hope_n show_v that_o this_o immoderate_a fear_n of_o death_n and_o this_o excessive_a mourning_n of_o many_o for_o the_o dead_a it_o spring_v from_o ignorance_n &_o want_n of_o faith_n for_o if_o we_o believe_v this_o that_o they_o be_v lay_v a_o sleep_n and_o their_o soul_n be_v in_o heaven_n their_o body_n lie_v in_o the_o earth_n as_o in_o a_o bed_n of_o down_o until_o the_o judge_a day_n and_o then_o that_o they_o shall_v rise_v to_o glory_n why_o shall_v we_o mourn_v so_o much_o for_o they_o for_o if_o we_o will_v judge_v ourselves_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v judge_v of_o the_o lord_n in_o this_o verse_n the_o apostle_n show_v a_o reason_n why_o the_o lord_n deal_v so_o sharp_o with_o his_o people_n and_o correct_v they_o so_o sore_o for_o this_o sin_n of_o they_o their_o unworthy_a receive_n of_o this_o sacrament_n namely_o because_o they_o will_v not_o see_v their_o sin_n be_v humble_v for_o the_o same_o and_o condemn_v themselves_o as_o guilty_a before_o god_n of_o unworthy_a receive_n of_o this_o sacrament_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n be_v constrain_v to_o take_v the_o matter_n into_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o to_o correct_v they_o for_o the_o same_o for_o if_o we_o will_v judge_v ourselves_o that_o be_v enter_v into_o our_o own_o heart_n examine_v our_o own_o way_n and_o call_v our_o own_o sin_n unto_o account_n and_o condemn_v ourselves_o for_o the_o same_o then_o shall_v we_o not_o in_o this_o manner_n be_v judge_v and_o condemn_v of_o the_o lord_n concern_v this_o remedy_n here_o prescribe_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o avoid_v god_n judgement_n and_o eternal_a condemnation_n it_o stand_v we_o see_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o this_o most_o needful_a and_o christian_a duty_n of_o man_n enter_v into_o their_o heart_n and_o soul_n to_o examine_v and_o find_v out_o their_o sin_n and_o to_o judge_v and_o condemn_v themselves_o for_o the_o same_o now_o that_o we_o may_v perform_v this_o duty_n aright_o we_o must_v know_v self_n four_o thing_n necessary_a to_o the_o judge_v of_o a_o man_n self_n there_o be_v a_o fourfold_a duty_n to_o be_v perform_v by_o we_o for_o in_o judgement_n there_o must_v be_v examination_n accusation_n condemnation_n and_o execution_n and_o these_o four_o be_v likewise_o necessary_a to_o the_o judge_v of_o a_o man_n self_n first_o examination_n examination_n there_o must_v be_v a_o serious_a examination_n of_o ourselves_o and_o of_o our_o own_o estate_n how_o it_o fare_v betwixt_o god_n and_o our_o soul_n which_o be_v wrought_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n by_o the_o which_o as_o in_o a_o glass_n we_o may_v behold_v the_o sundry_a sin_n we_o have_v commit_v as_o so_o many_o spot_n and_o blemish_n in_o our_o soul_n and_o this_o examination_n and_o trial_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n and_o estate_n be_v so_o needful_a as_o that_o without_o it_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o judge_v himself_o or_o to_o repent_v true_o of_o his_o sin_n for_o by_o the_o conscionable_a performance_n of_o this_o duty_n come_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n and_o of_o our_o misery_n which_o be_v the_o first_o step_n unto_o true_a repentance_n and_o to_o this_o end_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o lord_n do_v often_o call_v up_o on_o man_n to_o consider_v their_o way_n and_o to_o call_v their_o life_n to_o acount_v and_o that_o so_o they_o may_v attain_v unto_o the_o sight_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o come_v to_o repentance_n for_o the_o same_o the_o prophet_n jeremy_n do_v often_o call_v upon_o this_o
