send_v his_o angel_n to_o fetch_v they_o and_o he_o help_v they_o in_o their_o combat_n we_o must_v not_o therefore_o fear_v overmuch_o there_o be_v a_o natural_a fear_n of_o death_n death_n wrought_v

before_o it_o be_v commit_v that_o be_v but_o a_o mockery_n of_o god_n and_o what_o say_v the_o scripture_n be_v it_o not_o the_o most_o terrible_a judgement_n under_o heaven_n to_o die_v in_o our_o sin_n a_o man_n that_o die_v in_o sin_n die_v in_o hell_n he_o go_v from_o death_n to_o hell_n and_o that_o eternal_a i_o wonder_v therefore_o that_o the_o wisdom_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n shall_v take_v away_o man_n wit_n and_o faith_n and_o grace_n and_o all_o so_o much_o as_o to_o slight_a death_n and_o repentance_n as_o if_o it_o be_v so_o easy_a now_o belove_v death_n be_v a_o terrible_a thing_n it_o have_v a_o sting_n and_o thou_o shall_v know_v it_o if_o thou_o have_v not_o grace_v to_o feel_v the_o sting_n of_o it_o whilst_o thou_o live_v when_o thou_o die_v the_o sting_n will_v revive_v than_o thy_o conscience_n shall_v awake_v in_o hell_n drunkenness_n and_o jollity_n take_v away_o sense_n of_o sin_n but_o sin_n will_v revive_v and_o conscience_n will_v revive_v god_n have_v not_o put_v it_o into_o we_o for_o nought_o death_n be_v terrible_a if_o not_o disarm_v before_o hand_n and_o if_o thou_o go_v about_o to_o die_v without_o disarm_v it_o before_o it_o will_v not_o be_v outface_v it_o be_v not_o a_o enemy_n to_o be_v scorn_v and_o slight_v and_o therefore_o be_v christian_n in_o good_a earnest_n else_o leave_v profession_n and_o perish_v eternal_o for_o we_o must_v all_o die_v and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n than_o we_o take_v it_o but_o if_o we_o be_v true_a christian_n it_o be_v the_o sweet_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n a_o end_n of_o all_o misery_n a_o beginning_n of_o true_a happiness_n a_o inlet_n to_o whatsoever_o be_v comfortable_a bless_v be_v they_o that_o be_v in_o the_o lord_n by_o faith_n and_o they_o that_o die_v in_o the_o

ashamed_a of_o fear_v death_n too_o much_o which_o of_o a_o enemy_n be_v become_v a_o reconcile_a friend_n this_o may_v in_o the_o next_o place_n yield_v great_a consolation_n to_o those_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n we_o that_o death_n by_o christ_n be_v swallow_v up_o in_o victory_n christ_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o the_o holy_a ghost_n mean_v more_o than_o a_o bare_a victory_n over_o death_n death_n be_v not_o only_o subdue_v friend_n but_o be_v make_v a_o friend_n to_o we_o as_o psalm_n 110._o it_o be_v say_v his_o enemy_n shall_v be_v his_o footstool_n now_o a_o footstool_n be_v not_o only_o trample_v upon_o but_o a_o help_n to_o rise_v and_o so_o death_n be_v not_o only_o subdue_v but_o it_o advance_v god_n child_n and_o raise_v they_o high_o it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o enemy_n but_o a_o reconcile_a friend_n for_o he_o do_v that_o which_o no_o friend_n in_o the_o world_n can_v do_v it_o end_v all_o our_o misery_n and_o be_v the_o inlet_n into_o all_o happiness_n for_o eternity_n and_o whatsoever_o it_o strip_v we_o of_o here_o it_o give_v we_o advantage_n of_o better_a in_o another_o world_n it_o cut_v off_o our_o pleasure_n and_o profit_n and_o company_n and_o calling_n here_o but_o what_o be_v that_o to_o our_o bless_a change_n afterward_o to_o our_o praise_v of_o god_n for_o ever_o to_o the_o company_n of_o bless_a soul_n and_o the_o profit_n and_o pleasure_n at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n for_o evermore_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o only_o conquer_v but_o to_o show_v the_o excellency_n of_o his_o power_n he_o have_v make_v it_o a_o friend_n of_o a_o enemy_n and_o the_o best_a friend_n in_o the_o world_n it_o indeed_o separate_v soul_n from_o body_n but_o it_o join_v the_o soul_n to_o christ_n so_o that_o the_o conjunction_n we_o have_v by_o it_o be_v better_a than_o the_o separation_n if_o the_o conjunction_n make_v we_o partake_v of_o our_o desire_n i_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v say_v st._n paul_n but_o that_o be_v not_o well_o translate_v i_o desire_v to_o depart_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n which_o be_v best_a of_o all_o so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o not_o a_o enemy_n but_o a_o friend_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n make_v it_o our_o jointure_n part_n of_o our_o portion_n all_o thing_n be_v you_o why_o you_o be_v christ_n and_o christ_n be_v god_n what_o be_v we_o thing_n present_a thing_n to_o

fit_v we_o for_o grace_n as_o austin_n say_v i_o dare_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v it_o be_v profitable_a for_o some_o to_o fall_v fall_v to_o make_v they_o more_o careful_a and_o watchful_a and_o to_o

he_o will_v give_v they_o over_o to_o satan_n say_v the_o apostle_n that_o they_o may_v learn_v not_o to_o blaspheme_v yet_o though_o they_o have_v a_o spirit_n of_o blasphemy_n by_o the_o humble_v of_o their_o body_n they_o be_v teach_v not_o to_o blaspheme_v so_o that_o not_o only_a death_n but_o sin_n and_o he_o that_o bring_v sin_n into_o the_o world_n the_o devil_n be_v become_v our_o friend_n this_o be_v so_o death_n it_o may_v be_v for_o special_a comfort_n that_o we_o not_o fear_v the_o king_n of_o fear_n the_o devil_n have_v great_a advantage_n by_o this_o affection_n of_o

have_v overcome_v the_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n once_o what_o more_o be_v to_o be_v do_v what_o if_o they_o take_v away_o life_n they_o can_v take_v away_o that_o that_o be_v better_a than_o life_n the_o favour_n of_o god_n if_o we_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n we_o die_v in_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n which_o be_v better_o than_o life_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v find_v in_o the_o lord_n at_o the_o

we_o from_o all_o that_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v what_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v in_o the_o world_n every_o sickness_n every_o disgrace_n why_o death_n free_v we_o from_o all_o we_o do_v see_v every_o

awhile_o and_o death_n have_v no_o more_o power_n he_o that_o believe_v in_o i_o say_v christ_n he_o shall_v not_o see_v death_n but_o be_v pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n he_o shall_v not_o see_v

consummate_v without_o interruption_n it_o be_v a_o point_n of_o wonderful_a comfort_n that_o death_n be_v so_o overcome_v that_o we_o be_v in_o heaven_n already_o and_o it_o be_v no_o hard_a speech_n but_o stand_v with_o the_o truth_n of_o other_o point_n for_o be_v not_o christ_n and_o we_o all_o one_o his_o body_n be_v there_o and_o be_v not_o he_o the_o head_n of_o his_o mystical_a body_n he_o

the_o best_a part_n of_o we_o we_o be_v represent_v in_o heaven_n for_o christ_n represent_v we_o there_o as_o the_o husband_n do_v the_o wife_n he_o have_v take_v up_o heaven_n for_o we_o christ_n can_v be_v divide_v heaven_n as_o austin_n say_v we_o sit_v in_o heavenly_a place_n already_o with_o christ_n and_o what_o a_o comfort_n be_v this_o that_o while_o we_o live_v we_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o that_o death_n can_v hinder_v we_o from_o our_o resurrection_n which_o be_v the_o restore_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v comfort_v one_o another_o with_o

that_o through_o death_n he_o may_v destroy_v he_o that_o have_v the_o power_n of_o death_n that_o be_v the_o devil_n so_o christ_n by_o death_n overthrow_v satan_n that_o have_v the_o power_n of_o

every_o one_o that_o believe_v be_v a_o conqueror_n of_o death_n though_o he_o die_v because_o he_o see_v it_o conquer_v in_o christ_n his_o head_n and_o as_o it_o be_v true_o conquer_v in_o he_o so_o

good_a it_o he_o give_v a_o great_a way_n to_o death_n for_o death_n seize_v on_o he_o upon_o the_o cross_n death_n sever_v soul_n from_o body_n death_n have_v he_o in_o his_o own_o cabinet_n his_o grave_n for_o three_o day_n nay_o this_o great_a king_n and_o tyrant_n death_n have_v a_o great_a conquest_n over_o christ_n himself_o but_o here_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o this_o victory_n when_o death_n this_o great_a conqueror_n of_o the_o world_n have_v christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o in_o his_o own_o dominion_n in_o the_o grave_n where_o he_o rule_v and_o reign_v consume_v and_o swallow_v up_o all_o death_n be_v fain_o to_o give_v up_o all_o and_o satan_n think_v to_o have_v have_v a_o great_a morsel_n when_o he_o devour_v christ_n but_o there_o be_v a_o hook_n in_o his_o divine_a power_n that_o catch_v he_o that_o when_o he_o think_v to_o have_v swallow_v up_o christ_n be_v swallow_v up_o himself_o his_o head_n be_v then_o break_v he_o never_o have_v such_o a_o blow_n as_o by_o christ_n on_o the_o cross_n when_o he_o be_v overcome_v be_v a_o scorn_n of_o the_o world_n visible_o yet_o invisible_o in_o god_n acceptation_n of_o that_o sacrifice_n and_o in_o a_o spirit_n of_o faith_n christ_n triumph_v over_o satan_n death_n be_v subdue_v even_o in_o his_o own_o kingdom_n and_o that_o make_v the_o victory_n great_a death_n by_o seize_v on_o christ_n without_o right_n christ_n have_v free_v we_o from_o the_o evil_a of_o death_n when_o it_o have_v right_a to_o we_o death_n have_v lose_v all_o its_o right_n by_o fasten_v on_o christ_n and_o so_o be_v become_v as_o a_o drone_n without_o a_o sting_n so_o the_o great_a swallower_n of_o all_o be_v swallow_v up_o itself_o at_o last_o by_o christ_n now_o for_o comfortable_a use_n of_o it_o 1_o first_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o god_n oftentimes_o give_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o way_n to_o his_o great_a enemy_n victory_n god_n use_v a_o stratagem_n of_o retire_v he_o seem_v to_o retire_v and_o give_v liberty_n to_o his_o enemy_n but_o it_o be_v to_o triumph_v and_o trample_v upon_o they_o with_o great_a shame_n he_o will_v tread_v they_o to_o dust_n afterward_o christ_n give_v death_n a_o great_a deal_n of_o liberty_n he_o be_v crucify_v and_o torment_v then_o have_v to_o the_o grave_n and_o there_o he_o lay_v and_o this_o be_v to_o raise_v a_o great_a triumph_n over_o this_o great_a prevailer_n over_o the_o world_n and_o death_n itself_o it_o be_v continue_v so_o in_o the_o church_n do_v not_o he_o give_v way_n to_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o church_n they_o may_v come_v to_o say_v ahah_n ahah_o so_o will_v we_o have_v it_o now_o the_o poor_a child_n of_o god_n be_v where_o we_o will_v have_v they_o but_o then_o come_v sudden_a destruction_n god_n to_o make_v his_o victory_n more_o glorious_a and_o more_o to_o discover_v their_o cruelty_n come_v upon_o they_o when_o they_o be_v in_o the_o top_n of_o pleasure_n and_o the_o church_n in_o the_o bottom_n of_o abasement_n then_o god_n swallow_v up_o all_o in_o victory_n as_o christ_n do_v death_n when_o it_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v itself_o victorious_a this_o be_v a_o very_a comfortable_a consideration_n for_o if_o death_n be_v overcome_v when_o it_o seem_v to_o overcome_v christ_n what_o need_v we_o fear_v any_o other_o enemy_n christ_n have_v break_v the_o net_n as_o a_o eagle_n or_o great_a bird_n and_o the_o
