any_o other_o though_o i_o be_o not_o ignorant_a that_o some_o expositor_n begin_v this_o date_n from_o the_o cease_n of_o persecution_n for_o some_o time_n under_o the_o emperor_n trajan_n

other_o again_o fix_v it_o from_o the_o time_n of_o cease_v persecution_n under_o the_o emperor_n or_o rome-heathen_a till_o the_o renewal_n of_o persecution_n again_o under_o rome-papal_a but_o

that_o sense_n three_o i_o must_v explain_v what_o be_v the_o labour_n from_o which_o they_o who_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n be_v say_v to_o rest_n i_o answer_v all_o condition_n which_o be_v

and_o temptation_n be_v labour_n here_o therefore_o i_o shall_v before_o i_o come_v to_o handle_v the_o main_a proposition_n speak_v a_o little_a to_o two_o other_o truth_n here_o suppose_v and_o

who_o do_v not_o live_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o consequent_o can_v die_v in_o the_o lord_n such_o do_v not_o rest_v from_o their_o labour_n when_o they_o die_v but_o the_o bitter_a of_o their_o labour_n follow_v they_o even_o beyond_o the_o grave_a first_o that_o good_a man_n have_v not_o a_o rest_n from_o their_o labour_n on_o this_o side_n the_o grave_a it_o be_v true_a that_o faith_n and_o patience_n do_v much_o correct_v the_o malignity_n and_o bitterness_n of_o their_o suffering_n but_o even_o the_o best_a of_o god_n child_n have_v their_o labour_n here_o for_o who_o can_v doubt_v but_o it_o be_v a_o labour_n and_o burden_n even_o to_o a_o good_a man_n to_o be_v under_o pine_a sickness_n and_o pain_n to_o be_v subject_v to_o the_o persecution_n of_o slanderous_a tongue_n and_o pen_n to_o be_v deprive_v of_o their_o estate_n liberty_n or_o country_n who_o doubt_v but_o that_o anger_n sorrow_n fear_v and_o anxiety_n of_o mind_n be_v yet_o a_o great_a burden_n and_o labour_n if_o a_o good_a man_n in_o his_o weakness_n fall_v under_o the_o impression_n of_o any_o of_o they_o so_o also_o it_o be_v no_o small_a burden_n when_o friend_n be_v miserable_a or_o

fear_n for_o the_o church_n of_o god_n through_o the_o division_n of_o brethren_n and_o the_o contention_n of_o a_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n or_o through_o the_o apostasy_n of_o some_o eminent_a for_o profession_n of_o godliness_n to_o either_o damnable_a error_n or_o rend_a schism_n or_o downright_a profaneness_n and_o debauchery_n such_o labour_n and_o suffering_n also_o to_o a_o good_a man_n be_v their_o fear_n and_o sorrow_n for_o the_o land_n of_o their_o nativity_n suffer_v or_o like_v to_o suffer_v through_o war_n famine_n or_o pestilence_n and_o last_o what_o a_o labour_n and_o burden_n be_v it_o to_o a_o good_a man_n to_o be_v assault_v with_o inward_a corruption_n or_o outward_a temptation_n and_o to_o wrestle_v and_o combat_n with_o his_o spiritual_a adversary_n and_o

make_v they_o meet_v for_o the_o inheritance_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o light_n the_o second_o proposition_n here_o suppose_v be_v that_o bad_a man_n even_o when_o they_o die_v do_v not_o rest_v from_o
