death_n and_o show_v that_o she_o have_v no_o more_o power_n since_o that_o christ_n be_v rise_v again_o now_o will_v some_o say_v how_o do_v this_o place_n agree_v with_o s_n paul_n we_o must_v

can_v hurt_v the_o child_n of_o god_n for_o be_v graff_v in_o christ_n we_o fear_v nothing_o wherefore_o s._n paul_n who_o rejoice_v himself_o in_o christ_n and_o in_o his_o righteousness_n and_o

never_o remove_v it_o be_v a_o thing_n very_o certain_a that_o we_o must_v all_o die_v see_v that_o we_o be_v all_o sinner_n and_o that_o death_n be_v the_o reward_n of_o sin_n as_o s._n paul_n write_v in_o the_o 6._o to_o the_o roman_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o scripture_n set_v down_o unto_o we_o three_o kind_n of_o death_n the_o one_o be_v the_o sunder_a of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n with_o make_v nothing_o of_o the_o body_n until_o the_o resurrection_n a_o other_o be_v the_o death_n of_o sin_n as_o it_o be_v often_o say_v that_o man_n which_o be_v nourish_v in_o their_o sin_n be_v dead_a and_o jesus_n christ_n speak_v of_o those_o which_o know_v not_o god_n say_v let_v the_o dead_a bury_v the_o dead_a the_o three_o be_v call_v in_o the_o apocalyps_n the_o second_o death_n sometime_o the_o eternal_a death_n whereunto_o the_o wicked_a shall_v be_v condemn_v in_o the_o last_o judgement_n now_o albeit_o that_o the_o painime_n sometime_o seem_v to_o have_v speak_v pretty_o of_o death_n yet_o so_o it_o be_v that_o two_o thing_n have_v make_v they_o uncertain_a in_o this_o matter_n and_o unprovided_a of_o sound_a consolation_n the_o first_o be_v that_o they_o never_o well_o understand_v the_o cause_n of_o death_n neither_o the_o remedy_n thereof_o the_o one_o whereof_o be_v by_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n the_o other_o give_v by_o jesus_n christ_n moreover_o they_o never_o understand_v the_o spring_n of_o true_a life_n that_o lie_v in_o god_n and_o in_o the_o behold_n of_o his_o face_n where_o of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n shall_v after_o the_o resurrection_n be_v the_o beholder_n both_o in_o soul_n and_o body_n although_o then_o that_o adam_n before_o his_o sin_n be_v create_v according_a to_o the_o body_n of_o the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n yet_o in_o deed_n so_o it_o be_v that_o if_o he_o have_v not_o sin_v the_o divine_a virtue_n and_o image_n of_o god_n have_v swallow_v up_o in_o he_o all_o corruption_n and_o defend_v he_o against_o death_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o without_o grief_n when_o it_o have_v please_v god_n he_o shall_v pass_v into_o heavenly_a life_n but_o his_o wilful_a transgress_v make_v he_o with_o his_o posterity_n servile_a unto_o death_n so_o as_o he_o have_v receive_v for_o he_o and_o for_o he_o a_o most_o bless_a condition_n if_o he_o have_v not_o sin_v and_o as_o concern_v that_o the_o death_n of_o adam_n do_v not_o follow_v for_o his_o sin_n all_o at_o one_o time_n it_o be_v not_o but_o through_o the_o mercy_n of_o our_o good_a god_n who_o will_n be_v to_o preserve_v mankind_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n punish_v sin_n in_o that_o that_o adam_n and_o all_o his_o race_n have_v be_v and_o be_v of_o one_o mortal_a condition_n full_a of_o labour_n and_o misery_n we_o do_v also_o see_v the_o pitiful_a entry_n that_o we_o do_v make_v into_o the_o world_n cast_v forth_o a_o thousand_o groan_n and_o sigh_n from_o our_o first_o arrival_n into_o the_o world_n furthermore_o every_o one_o will_v easy_o confess_v that_o death_n be_v a_o thing_n most_o fearful_a that_o can_v happen_v unto_o man_n because_o that_o it_o do_v represent_v unto_o we_o at_o one_o time_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o a_o miserable_a undo_n of_o our_o life_n whereof_o natural_o we_o be_v so_o desirous_a behold_v wherefore_o wise_a man_n be_v many_o time_n give_v to_o search_v out_o comfort_n wherewith_o to_o sweeten_v for_o we_o the_o sourness_n of_o death_n but_o those_o that_o have_v not_o taste_v of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n have_v nothing_o to_o stay_v upon_o not_o find_v any_o resolution_n but_o that_o we_o must_v bear_v that_o which_o be_v ordain_v for_o we_o by_o a_o irrevocable_a arrest_n many_o of_o the_o heathen_n be_v endue_v with_o a_o knowledge_n somewhat_o high_a than_o the_o rest_n and_o affirm_v the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n hold_v this_o for_o a_o resolution_n that_o in_o the_o other_o life_n the_o state_n of_o good_a man_n shall_v be_v happy_a see_v that_o here_o below_o they_o be_v ordinary_o subject_a to_o many_o misery_n and_o in_o deed_n we_o must_v come_v to_o this_o point_n that_o by_o the_o temporal_a and_o present_a estate_n one_o can_v judge_v of_o man_n happiness_n as_o also_o contrariwise_o they_o that_o most_o do_v prosper_v in_o this_o world_n in_o earthly_a thing_n die_v oftentimes_o as_o brute_n beast_n have_v a_o soul_n bury_v in_o earthly_a thing_n albeit_o that_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o man_n and_o beast_n because_o everlasting_a death_n be_v reserve_v for_o the_o wicked_a and_o because_o the_o end_n crow_v

in_o the_o agony_n of_o death_n therefore_o even_o as_o one_o wretched_a nature_n have_v bring_v we_o unto_o one_o like_o condition_n of_o death_n so_o do_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n make_v the_o
