B03501	The mystery of faith opened up: or Some sermons concerning faith (two where of were not formerly printed.) Wherein the nature, excellency, and usefulness of that noble grace is much cleared, and the practice thereof most powerfully pressed. Whereunto are added other three sermons, two concerning the great salvation, one of these not formerly printed, and a third concerning death. / By that pious and worthy servant of Jesus Christ, Mr. Andrew Gray, late minister of the Gospel in Glasgow. All these sermons being now carefully revised, and much corrected.	Gray, Andrew, 1633-1656.; Traill, Robert, 1642-1716.; Stirling, John, b. 1621?	1668 (1668)	Wing G1616; ESTC R177630	121,416	225

you_o when_o your_o desire_n of_o death_n be_v not_o accompany_v with_o desire_n of_o heaven_n suspect_v

they_o i_o will_v say_v this_o that_o there_o be_v some_o who_o will_v have_v ten_o desire_n for_o death_n when_o they_o will_v not_o have_v one_o for_o the_o death_n of_o the_o body_n of_o death_n but_o it_o be_v good_a for_o thou_o who_o be_v such_o to_o be_v desire_v the_o death_n of_o the_o body_n of_o death_n then_o shall_v thou_o be_v in_o a_o more_o suitable_a frame_n to_o desire_v to_o

a_o desire_n to_o die_v and_o death_n itself_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a thing_n to_o desire_v to_o die_v but_o it_o be_v a_o very_a great_a business_n to_o meet_v with_o death_n and_o to_o look_v it_o in_o the_o face_n when_o it_o come_v we_o think_v death_n ere_o it_o come_v near_o to_o we_o to_o be_v but_o child_n play_n but_o when_o we_o meet_v with_o it_o it_o make_v we_o change_v our_o thought_n for_o it_o be_v a_o great_a business_n to_o die_v quest._n 2._o be_v it_o lawful_a for_o a_o christian_n to_o desire_v to_o live_v when_o he_o be_v summon_v to_o die_v answ_n in_o some_o case_n be_v it_o lawful_a for_o a_o christian_n to_o desire_v to_o live_v even_o when_o he_o be_v summon_v to_o die_v which_o be_v clear_a from_o the_o practice_n of_o david_n psal_n 39.13_o where_o he_o pray_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v spare_v he_o a_o little_a it_o be_v also_o clear_a from_o the_o practice_n of_o good_a hezekiah_n isai_n 38.3_o when_o he_o be_v command_v to_o set_v his_o house_n in_o order_n for_o he_o shall_v die_v and_o not_o live_v he_o cry_v forth_o remember_v now_o o_o lord_n how_o i_o have_v walk_v before_o thou_o in_o truth_n and_o with_o a_o perfect_a heart_n and_o have_v do_v that_o which_o be_v good_a in_o thy_o sight_n and_o hezekiah_n weep_v sore_o or_o as_o the_o word_n be_v in_o the_o original_a he_o weep_v with_o great_a weep_v but_o to_o guard_v this_o take_v these_o two_o caution_n caution_n 1._o thy_o desire_n to_o live_v when_o thou_o be_v summon_v to_o die_v shall_v not_o be_v peremptory_a but_o with_o submission_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o if_o it_o be_v his_o pleasure_n to_o remove_v thou_o present_o out_o of_o time_n thou_o shall_v be_v content_a to_o die_v caution_n 2._o thy_o desire_n to_o live_v shall_v have_v gracious_a principle_n and_o also_o a_o very_a gracious_a end_n as_o be_v most_o clear_a from_o david_n psalm_n 39.13_o where_o he_o say_v o_o spare_v i_o a_o little_a that_o i_o may_v recover_v my_o strength_n before_o i_o go_v from_o hence_o and_o be_v no_o more_o his_o desire_n to_o live_v be_v that_o he_o may_v have_v victory_n over_o his_o idol_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v my_o desire_n to_o live_v be_v that_o i_o may_v have_v strength_n to_o wrestle_v with_o and_o overcome_v my_o idol_n and_o without_o all_o controversy_n hezekiahs_n desire_n be_v a_o most_o precious_a and_o wellgrounded_n desire_v however_o i_o will_v say_v this_o unto_o thou_o that_o thou_o shall_v examine_v thy_o desire_n to_o live_v as_o much_o if_o not_o more_o as_o thy_o desire_n to_o die_v for_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o shun_v death_n if_o we_o can_v but_o he_o be_v that_o universal_a king_n unto_o who_o all_o of_o we_o must_v be_v subject_a ere_o long_o now_o in_o the_o word_n that_o be_v read_v unto_o you_o there_o be_v these_o six_o thing_n which_o may_v be_v clear_o observe_v from_o they_o first_o that_o it_o be_v a_o most_o true_a and_o infallible_a truth_n that_o all_o person_n shall_v once_o see_v death_n as_o be_v clear_a in_o these_o word_n who_o be_v he_o that_o live_v and_o shall_v not_o see_v death_n second_o that_o this_o truth_n that_o we_o shall_v once_o see_v death_n be_v not_o much_o believe_v or_o think_v upon_o by_o many_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o psalmist_n double_v the_o assertion_n who_o be_v he_o that_o live_v and_o shall_v not_o see_v death_n shall_v he_o deliver_v his_o soul_n that_o be_v his_o life_n from_o the_o hand_n that_o be_v from_o the_o power_n of_o the_o grave_a three_o that_o sometime_o a_o christian_a may_v win_v to_o the_o solid_a faith_n of_o this_o truth_n that_o once_o he_o must_v die_v this_o the_o psalmist_n win_v unto_o as_o it_o be_v also_o clear_a in_o that_o word_n who_o who_o be_v he_o that_o live_v and_o shall_v not_o see_v death_n four_o that_o the_o certainty_n of_o this_o that_o once_o we_o shall_v die_v shall_v be_v keep_v in_o our_o mind_n therefore_o that_o note_n of_o attention_n selah_n be_v put_v to_o it_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v take_v heed_n that_o there_o be_v none_o live_v that_o shall_v not_o die_v five_o that_o howbeit_o some_o person_n put_v the_o evil_a day_n far_o away_o as_o if_o they_o be_v not_o to_o see_v death_n yet_o be_v the_o day_n come_v when_o they_o shall_v see_v death_n and_o death_n shall_v take_v they_o by_o the_o hand_n six_o we_o shall_v take_v notice_n of_o this_o from_o the_o context_n that_o the_o christian_n who_o be_v much_o in_o mind_v the_o brevity_n of_o his_o life_n will_v believe_v the_o certainty_n of_o his_o death_n the_o psalmist_n be_v speak_v of_o the_o shortness_n of_o his_o life_n in_o the_o precede_a verse_n and_o in_o this_o verse_n he_o speak_v of_o the_o certainty_n of_o death_n now_o as_o for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o thing_n observe_v viz._n that_o it_o be_v certain_a and_o most_o sure_a that_o we_o must_v all_o once_o die_v i_o hope_v there_o be_v none_o of_o you_o here_o who_o will_v deny_v it_o

embrace_v this_o great_a salvation_n 2._o the_o second_o consideration_n to_o provoke_v you_o not_o to_o slight_v the_o great_a salvation_n be_v this_o that_o the_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n of_o the_o slighter_n of_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a and_o infallible_a jer._n 11.11_o where_o speak_v of_o slight_v the_o covenant_n which_o be_v indeed_o the_o same_o great_a salvation_n there_o be_v

who_o be_v the_o slighter_n of_o this_o great_a salvation_n to_o find_v a_o backdoor_n when_o justice_n shall_v pursue_v you_o for_o there_o be_v no_o door_n to_o escape_v if_o you_o embrace_v not_o

speech_n what_o need_v all_o these_o exhortation_n but_o that_o christ_n be_v most_o serious_a that_o they_o will_v embrace_v the_o great_a salvation_n and_o o_o that_o there_o be_v a_o person_n here_o to_o day_n as_o serious_a to_o the_o bargain_n as_o christ_n be_v but_o be_v who_o you_o will_v that_o slight_a this_o great_a salvation_n believe_v i_o the_o day_n be_v come_v wherein_o you_o shall_v cry_v out_o alace_o for_o my_o slight_n of_o it_o will_v thou_o therefore_o think_v present_o with_o thyself_o o_o thou_o slight_a of_o this_o great_a salvation_n what_o will_v thou_o say_v of_o thy_o slight_n it_o when_o the_o devil_n shall_v be_v lead_v thou_o in_o through_o these_o dark_a gate_n of_o hell_n o_o slight_a of_o the_o gospel_n how_o many_o alace_n will_v thou_o cry_v when_o thou_o shall_v be_v pass_v through_o these_o dark_a gate_n into_o thy_o everlasting_a prison_n will_v thou_o not_o then_o cry_v out_o o_o i_o a_o slight_a of_o the_o everlasting_a salvation_n whether_o be_o i_o now_o go_v alace_o now_o for_o my_o slight_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o as_o thou_o pass_v through_o thou_o shall_v meet_v with_o number_n of_o miserable_a comforter_n there_o be_v

4._o four_o let_v this_o provoke_v you_o not_o to_o slight_v the_o great_a salvation_n that_o you_o will_v get_v it_o for_o a_o very_a look_n o_o you_o within_o this_o house_n to_o day_n you_o will_v
