the_o cup_n of_o salvation_n salvation_n be_v in_o the_o cup_n death_n be_v now_o no_o more_o since_o the_o lord_n of_o life_n destroy_v death_n his_o death_n have_v quicken_v our_o life_n and_o have_v sweeten_v and_o take_v away_o the_o sting_n of_o death_n from_o we_o our_o apostle_n do_v not_o ask_v oh_o death_n what_o be_v thy_o sting_n though_o the_o word_n which_o follow_v seem_v to_o be_v a_o answer_n to_o such_o a_o question_n the_o sting_n of_o death_n be_v sin_n it_o seem_v then_o that_o death_n be_v not_o the_o sting_n of_o sin_n but_o sin_n be_v the_o sting_n of_o death_n for_o say_v anselm_n we_o do_v indeed_o die_v for_o sin_v but_o we_o do_v not_o sin_n for_o die_v and_o as_o those_o word_n follow_v answer_n to_o a_o question_n which_o they_o ask_v not_o so_o the_o former_a word_n ask_v a_o question_n to_o which_o those_o follow_a answer_n not_o oh_o death_n where_o be_v thy_o sting_n now_o not_o to_o tell_v you_o where_o it_o be_v be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v it_o be_v not_o where_o death_n have_v now_o no_o sting_n let_v we_o all_o rejoice_v and_o be_v glad_a this_o serpent_n may_v hiss_v at_o we_o this_o wasp_n may_v buzz_v about_o we_o but_o it_o can_v now_o neither_o bite_v not_o sting_v we_o the_o sting_n of_o death_n be_v go_v and_o nothing_o remain_v but_o the_o name_n nay_o the_o name_n too_o be_v go_v to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n the_o death_n of_o the_o godly_a man_n be_v not_o to_o be_v call_v a_o death_n but_o a_o sleep_n a_o rest_v from_o their_o labour_n a_o delivery_n out_o of_o prison_n a_o lay_v down_o their_o burden_n a_o fly_a to_o their_o desire_a home_n death_n now_o have_v lose_v her_o sting_n it_o be_v not_o now_o a_o punishment_n but_o a_o happy_a passage_n not_o so_o much_o a_o end_n of_o this_o life_n as_o a_o entrance_n into_o a_o better_a not_o a_o destruction_n but_o a_o dissolution_n only_o a_o separation_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n for_o a_o short_a time_n that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v join_v together_o to_o enjoy_v heaven_n and_o happiness_n with_o christ_n our_o lord_n and_o life_n to_o all_o eternity_n thus_o have_v we_o ask_v this_o one_o question_n of_o death_n oh_o death_n where_o be_v thy_o sting_n now_o let_v we_o ask_v another_o of_o ourselves_o why_o be_v we_o so_o desperate_o and_o despair_o afraid_a of_o death_n since_o we_o have_v hear_v and_o do_v certain_o know_v that_o death_n have_v lose_v her_o sting_n oh_o faithless_a and_o fainthearted_a man_n why_o do_v thou_o tremble_v o_o christian_n to_o encounter_v with_o thy_o last_o enemy_n since_o its_o weapon_n be_v now_o take_v from_o it_o why_o do_v thou_o shrink_v at_o the_o coldness_n of_o the_o serpent_n when_o thou_o know_v her_o poison_n and_o sting_n be_v quite_o take_v away_o oh_o faithless_a and_o fainthearted_a soul_n to_o be_v so_o afraid_a of_o a_o shadow_n alas_o why_o do_v we_o so_o dreadful_o fear_v death_n since_o our_o soul_n be_v not_o lose_v but_o send_v before_o it_o be_v for_o those_o only_a to_o tremble_v at_o death_n that_o pass_v from_o one_o death_n to_o another_o from_o the_o death_n of_o the_o body_n on_o earth_n to_o the_o death_n of_o the_o body_n and_o soul_n in_o hell_n for_o ever_o it_o be_v for_o those_o only_a to_o fear_v a_o temporal_a death_n so_o terrible_o who_o be_v either_o ignorant_a or_o do_v despair_n of_o eternal_a life_n who_o go_v from_o their_o prison_n in_o this_o world_n to_o the_o place_n of_o their_o execution_n world_n without_o end_n but_o as_o for_o those_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n they_o pass_v from_o a_o prison_n to_o a_o palace_n from_o a_o dungeon_n to_o a_o throne_n from_o a_o crazy_a and_o miserable_a tabernacle_n here_o to_o a_o eternal_a habitation_n in_o the_o heaven_n it_o be_v for_o they_o say_v cyprian_n to_o fear_v to_o be_v dissolve_v who_o have_v no_o hope_n to_o be_v with_o christ_n a_o despair_a fear_n of_o death_n be_v but_o a_o despair_n of_o eternal_a life_n after_o death_n man_n natural_o choose_v rather_o to_o suffer_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o pain_n and_o live_v than_o to_o endure_v a_o small_a pain_n in_o die_v which_o demonstrate_v that_o it_o be_v something_o after_o death_n and_o not_o death_n itself_o which_o we_o so_o much_o dread_v let_v those_o only_a desire_n to_o linger_v in_o the_o misery_n of_o this_o present_a life_n who_o hope_v thereby_o to_o delay_v a_o while_n the_o torment_n and_o misery_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v but_o as_o for_o we_o christian_n we_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n why_o be_v we_o afraid_a to_o arrive_v at_o our_o haven_n of_o rest_n after_o so_o many_o danger_n storm_n and_o shipwreck_n which_o we_o have_v suffer_v in_o this_o world_n have_v fight_v a_o good_a fight_n and_o finish_v our_o course_n why_o do_v we_o doubt_v or_o delay_n to_o go_v and_o receive_v our_o crown_n of_o glory_n have_v run_v our_o race_n why_o seem_v we_o so_o unwilling_a to_o receive_v the_o prize_n let_v we_o not_o fear_v the_o threat_n of_o a_o temporal_a death_n but_o rather_o let_v we_o rejoice_v in_o the_o promise_n of_o eternal_a life_n for_o whether_o we_o live_v we_o live_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o whether_o we_o die_v we_o die_v unto_o the_o lord_n therefore_o whether_o we_o live_v or_o die_v we_o be_v the_o lord_n let_v not_o our_o life_n be_v so_o wicked_a and_o profane_a as_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v therefore_o ashamed_a to_o live_v neither_o let_v we_o be_v so_o negligent_a and_o ignorant_a of_o death_n as_o to_o be_v therefore_o afraid_a to_o die_v but_o at_o the_o instant_n of_o our_o
