against_o the_o king_n of_o heaven_n though_o they_o must_v be_v cast_v into_o a_o lake_n of_o fire_n for_o evermore_o man_n be_v afraid_a to_o offend_v the_o prince_n for_o fear_n of_o death_n and_o

for_o ever_o i_o will_v leave_v the_o further_o handle_v of_o this_o point_n until_o i_o come_v unto_o the_o next_o verse_n where_o the_o holy-ghost_n say_v again_o the_o better_a to_o make_v it_o sink_v into_o our_o very_a heart_n that_o whosoever_o be_v not_o find_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o life_n shall_v be_v cast_v into_o this_o lake_n of_o fire_n now_o the_o better_a to_o express_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o this_o lake_n of_o fire_n not_o a_o bodily_a death_n nor_o a_o material_a fire_n like_v to_o we_o but_o the_o holy-ghost_n mean_v here_o even_o the_o second_o death_n that_o be_v not_o of_o the_o body_n only_o death_n double_a death_n but_o of_o eternal_a death_n and_o damnation_n both_o of_o body_n and_o soul_n for_o evermore_o this_o be_v the_o second_o death_n and_o by_o this_o we_o may_v see_v there_o be_v a_o double_a death_n there_o be_v the_o first_o death_n and_o the_o second_o death_n the_o first_o death_n be_v the_o separation_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n &_o this_o be_v common_a to_o all_o the_o child_n of_o god_n do_v die_v this_o death_n aswell_o as_o the_o wicked_a yet_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n for_o death_n be_v no_o curse_n to_o the_o child_n of_o god_n because_o christ_n death_n have_v take_v away_o the_o sting_n of_o death_n that_o it_o can_v not_o hurt_v the_o child_n of_o god_n no_o it_o be_v as_o a_o door_n to_o let_v our_o soul_n into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o the_o second_o they_o never_o taste_v of_o no_o child_n of_o god_n needs_o to_o fear_v the_o second_o death_n 8.1_o rom._n 8.1_o for_o there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n consist_v wherein_o the_o second_o death_n consist_v now_o as_o the_o first_o death_n be_v only_o the_o separation_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n so_o the_o second_o death_n be_v a_o total_a and_o final_a separation_n of_o both_o soul_n and_o body_n from_o god_n for_o evermore_o and_o this_o second_o death_n do_v stand_v principal_o in_o these_o three_o point_n first_o that_o all_o the_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a sinner_n that_o live_v and_o die_v in_o their_o sin_n they_o shall_v be_v sever_v from_o the_o

it_o ought_v to_o persuade_v we_o all_o above_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n to_o look_v unto_o this_o to_o keep_v our_o book_n fair_a for_o if_o our_o conscience_n do_v accuse_v we_o god_n be_v

when_o christ_n jesus_n shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n it_o shall_v rise_v again_o for_o we_o must_v know_v that_o every_o true_a believer_n be_v make_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n and_o not_o only_o
