into_o abraham_n bosom_n thus_o many_o time_n the_o lord_n adorn_v the_o death_n and_o departure_n of_o his_o saint_n to_o hold_v forth_o unto_o after_o generation_n how_o excellent_a they_o be_v in_o his_o eye_n it_o be_v say_v of_o enoch_n that_o god_n take_v he_o of_o abraham_n that_o he_o die_v in_o a_o good_a old_a age_n of_o moses_n that_o the_o lord_n bury_v he_o of_o elijah_n that_o he_o be_v take_v up_o into_o heaven_n that_o the_o saint_n sleep_v in_o jesus_n that_o they_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n that_o they_o rest_v from_o their_o labour_n that_o their_o work_n follow_v they_o that_o they_o be_v under_o the_o altar_n that_o they_o be_v with_o christ_n that_o they_o be_v in_o light_n that_o they_o be_v to_o come_v with_o the_o lord_n jesus_n to_o judge_v the_o world_n all_o which_o saying_n signify_v thus_o much_o that_o to_o die_v a_o saint_n be_v very_o great_a honour_n and_o dignity_n but_o the_o ungodly_a be_v not_o so_o the_o rich_a or_o ungodly_a die_n and_o be_v bury_v he_o be_v carry_v from_o his_o dwell_n to_o the_o grave_a and_o there_o he_o be_v bury_v hide_v in_o the_o dust_n and_o his_o body_n do_v not_o so_o fast_o mold_a and_o come_v to_o nought_o there_o but_o his_o name_n do_v stink_n as_o fast_o in_o the_o world_n as_o say_v the_o holy_a scripture_n the_o name_n of_o the_o wicked_a shall_v rot_v and_o indeed_o the_o name_n of_o the_o godly_a be_v not_o in_o so_o much_o honour_n after_o their_o departure_n but_o the_o wicked_a and_o their_o name_n do_v as_o much_o rot_n what_o a_o dishonour_n to_o posterity_n be_v the_o death_n of_o balaam_n agag_n achitophel_n haman_n judas_n herod_n with_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o companion_n thus_o the_o wicked_a have_v their_o name_n write_v in_o the_o earth_n and_o they_o do_v perish_v and_o rot_v and_o the_o name_n of_o the_o saint_n do_v cast_v forth_o a_o dainty_a savour_n to_o follow_v generation_n and_o that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n do_v signify_v where_o he_o say_v the_o godly_a

he_o lift_v up_o his_o eye_n be_v in_o torment_n and_o see_v abraham_n afar_o off_o and_o lazarus_n in_o his_o bosom_n the_o form●●_n verse_n speak_v only_o of_o the_o departure_n of_o the_o ungodly_a out_o of_o this_o life_n together_o with_o the_o glorious_a conduct_n that_o the_o godly_a have_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o their_o father_n now_o our_o lord_n do_v show_v in_o this_o verse_n partly_o what_o do_v and_o shall_v befall_v to_o the_o reprobate_n after_o this_o life_n be_v end_v where_o he_o say_v and_o in_o hell_n he_o lift_v up_o his_o eye_n that_o be_v the_o ungodly_a after_o they_o depart_v this_o life_n do_v lift_v up_o their_o eye_n in_o hell_n from_o these_o word_n may_v be_v observe_v these_o thing_n 1._o that_o there_o be_v a_o hell_n for_o soul_n to_o be_v torment_v in_o when_o this_o life_n be_v end_v mark_v after_o he_o be_v dead_a and_o bury_v in_o hell_n he_o lift_v up_o his_o eye_n 2._o that_o all_o that_o be_v ungodly_a and_o do_v live_v and_o

lift_v up_o his_o eye_n he_o be_v asleep_o before_o but_o hell_n make_v he_o lift_v up_o his_o eye_n as_o i_o say_v before_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o there_o be_v a_o hell_n for_o soul_n yea_o and_o body_n too_o to_o be_v torment_v in_o after_o they_o depart_v this_o life_n as_o be_v clear_a first_o because_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o can_v lie_v do_v say_v that_o after_o the_o sinner_n be_v dead_a and_o bury_v in_o hell_n he_o lift_v up_o his_o eye_n now_o if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o hell_n be_v here_o mean_v the_o grave_a that_o i_o plain_o deny_v first_o because_o there_o the_o body_n be_v not_o sensible_a of_o torment_n or_o ease_v but_o in_o that_o hell_n into_o which_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o damn_a depart_n they_o be_v sensible_a of_o torment_n and_o will_v be_v very_o willing_o free_v from_o it_o to_o enjoy_v ease_n which_o they_o be_v sensible_a of_o the_o want_n of_o as_o be_v clear_o discover_v in_o this_o parable_n send_v lazarus_n that_o he_o may_v dip_v the_o tip_n of_o his_o finger_n in_o water_n to_o cool_v my_o tongue_n second_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v the_o grave_a but_o some_o other_o place_n because_o the_o body_n so_o long_o as_o they_o lie_v there_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o lift_v up_o their_o eye_n to_o see_v the_o glorious_a condition_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n as_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o damn_a do_v in_o hell_n he_o lift_v up_o his_o eye_n three_o it_o can_v be_v the_o grave_a for_o than_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v bury_v there_o with_o the_o body_n which_o can_v stand_v with_o such_o a_o dead_a state_n as_o be_v here_o mention_v for_o he_o say_v the_o rich_a man_n die_v that_o be_v his_o soul_n be_v separate_v from_o his_o body_n and_o in_o hell_n he_o lift_v up_o his_o eye_n if_o it_o be_v again_o object_v that_o there_o be_v no_o hell_n but_o in_o this_o life_n that_o i_o do_v also_o deny_v as_o i_o say_v before_o after_o he_o be_v dead_a and_o bury_v in_o hell_n he_o lift_v up_o his_o eye_n and_o let_v i_o tell_v thou_o o_o soul_n whoever_o thou_o be_v that_o if_o thou_o close_v not_o in_o saving_o with_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o lie_v hold_v on_o what_o he_o have_v do_v and_o be_v do_v in_o his_o own_o person_n for_o sinner_n thou_o will_v find_v such_o a_o hell_n after_o this_o life_n be_v end_v that_o thou_o will_v not_o get_v out_o of_o again_o for_o

will_v with_o its_o hellish_a crew_n give_v thou_o such_o a_o sad_a salutation_n that_o thou_o will_v not_o forget_v it_o to_o all_o eternity_n when_o that_o scripture_n come_v to_o be_v fulfil_v on_o

must_v go_v to_o the_o devil_n and_o he_o will_v not_o neglect_v to_o fetch_v i_o away_o into_o those_o intolerable_a torment_n think_v thus_o with_o thyself_o what_o shall_v i_o lose_v a_o long_a
