be_v as_o the_o verse_n two_o 1._o a_o absurdity_n upon_o the_o denial_n of_o a_o truth_n that_o christian_n be_v of_o all_o man_n in_o worst_a condition_n be_v a_o absurd_a assertion_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v true_a if_o after_o this_o life_n they_o have_v no_o hope_n of_o happiness_n and_o hopeless_a they_o must_v needs_o be_v if_o christ_n be_v not_o rise_v and_o themselves_o shall_v not_o rise_v if_o in_o this_o life_n only_o etc._n etc._n 2._o a_o removal_n of_o this_o absurdity_n by_o a_o affirmation_n of_o the_o truth_n christian_n be_v not_o unhappy_a man_n for_o why_o christ_n be_v rise_v have_v overcome_v sin_n and_o death_n and_o this_o be_v not_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o their_o sake_n he_o be_v become_v the_o first_o fruit_n of_o they_o that_o sleep_v that_o as_o himself_o by_o his_o own_o so_o they_o by_o his_o power_n shall_v certain_o arise_v unto_o immortal_a life_n and_o glory_n of_o these_o thing_n in_o order_n very_o plain_o the_o first_o instruction_n i_o desire_v you_o to_o observe_v be_v this_o that_o true_a christian_n be_v more_o unhappy_a than_o any_o other_o man_n if_o their_o happiness_n be_v confine_v to_o this_o life_n only_o if_o death_n bring_v to_o a_o end_n their_o life_n and_o their_o hope_n both_o at_o once_o they_o that_o believe_v in_o christ_n be_v in_o a_o worse_a estate_n than_o epicure_n atheist_n and_o other_o ungodly_a person_n who_o while_o they_o live_v with_o their_o fill_n of_o pleasure_n christian_n inherit_v sorrow_n and_o trouble_n no_o profession_n in_o the_o world_n so_o uncomfortable_a as_o that_o of_o true_a religion_n take_v once_o away_o from_o the_o godly_a man_n the_o hope_n of_o heaven_n if_o christ_n be_v beneficial_a unto_o he_o but_o only_o till_o he_o die_v as_o good_a it_o be_v to_o be_v any_o thing_n as_o a_o christian._n you_o may_v soon_o see_v it_o to_o be_v true_a if_o you_o cast_v your_o eye_n upon_o the_o state_n of_o true_a christian_n in_o this_o life_n we_o be_v of_o all_o man_n most_o miserable_a say_v the_o apostle_n who_o mean_n he_o we_o apostle_n and_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n or_o all_o we_o christian_n that_o believe_v in_o christ_n he_o mean_v both_o sort_n minister_n and_o people_n 1._o for_o minister_n they_o be_v more_o miserable_a than_o any_o other_o christian_n of_o all_o other_o they_o be_v most_o expose_v unto_o trouble_n and_o that_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o their_o office_n they_o by_o their_o preach_n and_o ministry_n do_v bid_v defiance_n to_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n they_o proclaim_v themselves_o open_a enemy_n to_o satan_n and_o his_o kingdom_n if_o other_o be_v soldier_n they_o be_v the_o captain_n and_o stand_v foremost_a in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o enemy_n and_o near_a of_o all_o to_o danger_n whence_o it_o follow_v that_o what_o ever_o mischief_n the_o prince_n of_o the_o darkness_n of_o this_o world_n or_o his_o servant_n the_o child_n of_o disobedience_n can_v invent_v against_o they_o they_o

the_o sheep_n slay_v a_o king_n of_o israel_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o army_n will_v soon_o rout_n the_o world_n hate_v i_o say_v christ_n because_o i_o testify_v of_o it_o that_o the_o work_v

a_o faithful_a minister_n to_o reprove_v sin_n and_o wicked_a person_n that_o love_v to_o commit_v sin_n there_o will_v ever_o be_v malice_n and_o despite_n use_v against_o they_o whence_o at_o all_o
