be_v perish_v the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o such_o who_o have_v be_v long_o in_o their_o grave_n and_o yet_o all_o that_o while_o be_v asleep_a in_o christ._n the_o body_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o the_o grave_n though_o turn_v to_o dust_n be_v yet_o notwithstanding_o unite_v to_o christ_n and_o member_n of_o his_o body_n and_o though_o separate_v from_o their_o soul_n yet_o be_v not_o separate_v from_o christ_n even_o as_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n while_o in_o the_o grave_n be_v even_o then_o unite_v to_o his_o divine_a person_n though_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v separate_v one_o from_o the_o other_o yet_o neither_o of_o they_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o divine_a person_n so_o the_o body_n of_o a_o man_n in_o christ_n though_o separate_v by_o death_n from_o his_o soul_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o separate_v from_o christ._n though_o it_o say_v to_o corruption_n thou_o be_v my_o father_n and_o to_o the_o worm_n thou_o be_v my_o mother_n and_o my_o sister_n yet_o it_o may_v say_v also_o to_o christ_n thou_o be_v my_o brother_n and_o to_o god_n thou_o be_v my_o father_n and_o therefore_o the_o saint_n even_o while_o they_o be_v in_o their_o grave_n be_v say_v to_o be_v christ_n 1_o cor._n 15.23_o afterward_o they_o that_o be_v christ_n at_o his_o come_n and_o be_v say_v to_o be_v dead_a in_o christ_n 1_o thes._n 4.16_o not_o only_o to_o die_v in_o christ_n but_o to_o be_v

believer_n rich_a portion_n and_o peculiar_a privilege_n 2._o that_o christ_n have_v purchase_v death_n for_o his_o child_n as_o proper_o as_o life_n he_o have_v make_v over_o death_n for_o their_o jointure_n and_o rich_a portion_n as_o much_o as_o paul_n apollo_n or_o cephas_n nay_o as_o much_o as_o heaven_n itself_o christ_n have_v alter_v the_o nature_n of_o death_n insomuch_o as_o that_o now_o it_o be_v become_v our_o best_a friend_n next_o to_o jesus_n christ_n for_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v rid_v of_o sin_n nor_o perfect_v in_o grace_n nor_o see_v god_n face_n to_o face_n till_o we_o die_v it_o be_v become_v a_o gate_n to_o heaven_n a_o outlet_n to_o all_o misery_n and_o a_o inlet_n to_o everlasting_a happiness_n now_o than_o if_o death_n be_v christ_n purchase_n and_o a_o part_n of_o the_o saint_n jointure_n without_o doubt_n it_o do_v not_o separate_v we_o from_o christ_n for_o than_o it_o will_v be_v but_o a_o ill_a purchase_n and_o jointure_n obtain_v not_o for_o our_o good_a but_o our_o great_a hurt_n contrary_a to_o the_o express_a word_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o also_o contrary_a to_o rom._n 8.28_o all_o thing_n work_v together_o for_o the_o good_a of_o those_o that_o love_n god_n et_fw-la mors_fw-la praecipue_fw-la and_o especial_o death_n as_o st._n austin_n say_v the_o second_o thing_n propound_v be_v to_o show_v what_o those_o glorious_a benefit_n and_o advantage_n be_v which_o the_o body_n of_o the_o saint_n enjoy_v while_o they_o be_v in_o their_o grave_n asleep_a in_o jesus_n for_o answer_v to_o this_o you_o must_v know_v that_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o the_o soul_n depart_v out_o of_o the_o body_n the_o body_n present_o lose_v all_o its_o beauty_n and_o comeliness_n and_o become_v a_o rot_a and_o stink_a carcase_n it_o go_v

of_o the_o saint_n so_o also_o their_o dust_n be_v precious_a to_o god_n there_o be_v a_o twofold_a dust_n that_o god_n love_v 1._o the_o dust_n of_o zion_n 2._o the_o dust_n of_o his_o saint_n first_o the_o dust_n of_o zion_n psal._n 102.13_o 14._o second_o the_o dust_n of_o the_o saint_n the_o golden_a ore_n in_o the_o mine_n be_v not_o so_o precious_a to_o we_o as_o this_o golden_a dust_n be_v to_o god_n job_n tell_v we_o that_o out_o of_o the_o earth_n come_v the_o dust_n of_o gold_n 28.6_o but_o i_o may_v true_o say_v that_o in_o the_o earth_n there_o be_v golden_a dust_n even_o the_o dust_n of_o god_n saint_n as_o balaam_n say_v concern_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n 10_o who_o can_v count_v the_o dust_n of_o jacob_n and_o the_o number_n of_o the_o four_o part_n of_o

love_v the_o body_n of_o his_o saint_n as_o well_o as_o their_o soul_n and_o their_o body_n when_o turn_v to_o dust_n that_o very_a dust_n be_v part_n of_o god_n election_n for_o god_n have_v elect_v the_o body_n of_o his_o saint_n unto_o eternal_a life_n as_o well_o as_o their_o soul_n and_o it_o be_v part_n of_o christ_n redemption_n and_o the_o spirit_n sanctification_n o_o what_o a_o comfort_n be_v this_o to_o a_o die_a child_n of_o god_n though_o all_o his_o friend_n will_v forsake_v he_o when_o bring_v to_o the_o grave_n the_o husband_n will_v leave_v his_o dear_a wife_n and_o the_o
