open_n of_o this_o metaphor_n doctrine_n the_o observation_n be_v this_o viz._n that_o when_o a_o child_n of_o god_n die_v though_o his_o death_n be_v never_o so_o unnatural_a and_o violent_a yet_o it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o fall_a asleep_a or_o the_o death_n of_o a_o child_n of_o god_n though_o stone_v to_o death_n though_o burn_v to_o ash_n though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o violent_a

be_v common_a to_o all_o it_o be_v appoint_v for_o all_o man_n once_o to_o die_v and_o therefore_o david_n say_v he_o be_v to_o go_v the_o way_n of_o all_o flesh_n statutum_n est_fw-la omnibus_fw-la

all_o kind_n of_o death_n it_o bring_v death_n temporal_a death_n spiritual_a and_o death_n eternal_a now_o because_o all_o man_n be_v poison_v with_o the_o poison_n of_o sin_n therefore_o all_o man_n must_v sleep_v the_o sleep_n of_o death_n it_o be_v sin_n that_o have_v poison_v all_o mankind_n 3_o as_o a_o man_n when_o he_o go_v to_o sleep_n put_v off_o his_o clothes_n and_o go_v naked_a into_o
