receive_v it_o but_o o_o thou_o natural_a man_n thou_o speak_v as_o a_o man_n and_o what_o high_o can_v dust_n and_o ash_n go_v nor_o the_o earth_n neither_o be_v that_o reward_n far_o off_o as_o

the_o space_n foresay_a but_o be_v grant_v soon_o unto_o some_o when_o it_o please_v the_o lord_n for_o we_o see_v the_o term_n of_o man_n life_n be_v uncertain_a in_o respect_n that_o some_o be_v call_v home_o in_o their_o old_a age_n some_o in_o their_o midage_n some_o in_o their_o youth_n and_o some_o in_o their_o very_a infancy_n but_o here_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v why_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v we_o first_o to_o die_v and_o after_o to_o live_v again_o see_v it_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v more_o easy_a to_o continue_v this_o life_n for_o ever_o nor_o to_o put_v end_n to_o this_o life_n and_o then_o make_v we_o to_o live_v again_o i_o answer_v that_o sin_n be_v the_o occasion_n why_o we_o must_v die_v and_o depart_v this_o life_n before_o we_o see_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n or_o receive_v the_o reward_n promise_v which_o be_v everlasting_a life_n 6.23_o for_o as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n but_o then_o thou_o may_v reply_v and_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v already_o suffer_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o have_v overcome_v death_n and_o hell_n how_o be_v it_o then_o that_o we_o must_v nevertheless_o underly_v death_n which_o be_v the_o reward_n of_o sin_n i_o answer_v thou_o that_o because_o jesus_n christ_n have_v suffer_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o have_v overcome_v death_n by_o his_o resurrection_n therefore_o he_o shall_v raise_v we_o up_o again_o from_o death_n and_o give_v we_o everlasting_a life_n which_o otherwise_o we_o will_v not_o have_v get_v if_o he_o have_v not_o die_v for_o we_o but_o will_v have_v rise_v again_o to_o everlasting_a death_n and_o torment_n herefore_o as_o the_o apostle_n subjoine_v to_o his_o say_n above_o write_v but_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v eternal_a life_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n notwithstanding_o of_o all_o this_o the_o work_n of_o the_o resurrection_n from_o the_o death_n seem_v most_o hard_a and_o difficile_a to_o flesh_n &_o blood_n but_o o_o man_n where_o be_v thy_o faith_n see_v thou_o may_v by_o very_o natural_a reason_n as_o it_o be_v comprehend_v the_o same_o if_o thou_o will_v have_v respect_n to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o

shall_v rise_v and_o give_v light_a again_o except_o he_o have_v the_o daily_a experience_n of_o it_o who_o will_v think_v that_o a_o man_n which_o be_v fall_v in_o a_o sound_n sleep_n who_o sense_n

all_o man_n i_o suppose_v likewise_o that_o no_o man_n will_v credit_n by_o report_n the_o wonderful_a manner_n of_o the_o conception_n and_o birth_n of_o mankind_n except_o it_o be_v know_v by_o

neither_o be_v death_n more_o to_o be_v fear_v of_o the_o godly_a nor_o the_o go_n to_o bed_n to_o sleep_v which_o be_v a_o perfect_a similitude_n of_o death_n for_o as_o man_n go_v to_o bed_v in_o the_o evening_n sleep_v all_o the_o night_n and_o wake_v and_o rise_v up_o again_o in_o the_o morning_n so_o do_v the_o body_n in_o very_a deed_n sleep_n and_o repose_v in_o the_o grave_n overshadow_a
