open_n of_o this_o metaphor_n doctrine_n the_o observation_n be_v this_o viz._n that_o when_o a_o child_n of_o god_n die_v though_o his_o death_n be_v never_o so_o unnatural_a and_o violent_a yet_o it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o fall_a asleep_a or_o the_o death_n of_o a_o child_n of_o god_n though_o stone_v to_o death_n though_o burn_v to_o ash_n though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o violent_a

be_v common_a to_o all_o it_o be_v appoint_v for_o all_o man_n once_o to_o die_v and_o therefore_o david_n say_v he_o be_v to_o go_v the_o way_n of_o all_o flesh_n statutum_n est_fw-la omnibus_fw-la

all_o kind_n of_o death_n it_o bring_v death_n temporal_a death_n spiritual_a and_o death_n eternal_a now_o because_o all_o man_n be_v poison_v with_o the_o poison_n of_o sin_n therefore_o all_o man_n must_v sleep_v the_o sleep_n of_o death_n it_o be_v sin_n that_o have_v poison_v all_o mankind_n 3_o as_o a_o man_n when_o he_o go_v to_o sleep_n put_v off_o his_o clothes_n and_o go_v naked_a into_o

when_o he_o fall_v asleep_a a_o man_n fall_v asleep_a before_o he_o be_v aware_a so_o no_o man_n can_v tell_v the_o certain_a time_n when_o he_o must_v die_v there_o be_v nothing_o so_o certain_a as_o

god_n people_n do_v not_o study_v the_o benefit_n of_o death_n therefore_o they_o be_v like_a to_o little_a child_n loath_a to_o die_v loath_a to_o go_v to_o bed_n and_o therefore_o death_n be_v call_v the_o king_n of_o terror_n death_n be_v terrible_a to_o many_o of_o god_n child_n because_o they_o be_v but_o infant_n in_o grace_n and_o because_o they_o do_v not_o know_v the_o benefit_n of_o death_n 6_o observe_v as_o when_o a_o man_n be_v fast_o asleep_a he_o be_v free_a from_o care_n and_o free_a from_o trouble_n let_v it_o thunder_n as_o it_o thunder_v not_o long_o since_o as_o you_o

neither_o be_v be_v trouble_v at_o it_o so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o death_n of_o god_n child_n when_o god_n child_n sleep_v the_o sleep_n of_o death_n they_o be_v free_a from_o the_o thunder_n of_o

most_o necessary_a for_o a_o people_n to_o ask_v and_o most_o comfortable_a for_o a_o minister_n to_o resolve_v they_o in_o the_o one_o be_v what_o shall_v i_o do_v to_o be_v save_v the_o other_o how_o shall_v i_o know_v that_o i_o shall_v obtain_v salvation_n of_o all_o question_n these_o be_v the_o great_a and_o as_o christ_n say_v speak_v of_o our_o love_n to_o god_n and_o our_o love_n to_o

every_o christian_a have_v a_o share_n and_o benefit_n in_o the_o prayer_n of_o jesus_n christ_n query_n 2_o a_o second_o querie_n be_v this_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o may_n some_o say_v that_o

presumptuous_a confidence_n paul_n say_v believe_v and_o be_v save_v together_o faith_n and_o repentane_n must_v be_v join_v together_o to_o let_v you_o know_v that_o that_o repentance_n which_o be_v

now_o this_o i_o note_v the_o rather_o because_o there_o be_v some_o man_n that_o be_v all_o for_o believe_v on_o jesus_n christ_n and_o not_o at_o all_o for_o repentance_n and_o mourn_v for_o sin_n
