live_n you_o see_v upon_o what_o ground_n he_o be_v lord_n of_o all_o as_o well_o as_o of_o his_o church_n he_o be_v a_o eternal_a lord_n over_o the_o dead_a and_o the_o live_n he_o be_v a_o

serviceable_a to_o his_o church_n to_o use_v their_o part_n to_o his_o own_o end_n they_o go_v a_o great_a way_n in_o salvation_n that_o so_o by_o their_o part_n they_o may_v be_v fit_a to_o do_v

of_o the_o dead_a and_o of_o the_o live_n it_o yield_v many_o comfortable_a use_n i_o speak_v of_o some_o thing_n in_o general_a and_o then_o we_o come_v to_o some_o particular_n as_o first_o see_v christ_n be_v lord_n of_o the_o quick_a and_o of_o the_o dead_a we_o may_v comfort_v ourselves_o under_o the_o sovereignty_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v solomon_n servant_n be_v account_v a_o great_a

not_o to_o serve_v a_o more_o noble_a to_o serve_v god_n be_v to_o reign_v beside_o while_o we_o live_v here_o such_o be_v our_o disposition_n such_o be_v the_o weakness_n of_o base_a sinner_n that_o they_o must_v be_v rule_v by_o another_o and_o indeed_o our_o happiness_n and_o security_n consist_v in_o be_v rule_v by_o another_o high_a than_o ourselves_o we_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o be_v our_o own_o governor_n s._n paul_n say_v to_o the_o galatian_n a_o heir_n in_o his_o noneage_n differ_v little_a from_o a_o servant_n so_o it_o be_v with_o christian_n till_o they_o be_v in_o heaven_n they_o differ_v little_a from_o servant_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v be_v under_o tutor_n and_o government_n and_o as_o it_o be_v a_o comfortable_a so_o it_o be_v a_o honourable_a condition_n for_o christ_n servant_n be_v so_o many_o king_n christ_n be_v serve_v of_o none_o but_o king_n and_o such_o king_n as_o do_v not_o rule_v over_o slave_n but_o such_o king_n as_o in_o christ_n rule_v over_o the_o great_a and_o terrible_a enemy_n of_o all_o a_o christian_a can_v think_v with_o comfort_n and_o encouragement_n upon_o those_o enemy_n that_o make_v the_o great_a tyrant_n of_o the_o world_n to_o quake_v he_o can_v think_v of_o death_n of_o sin_n of_o damnation_n of_o judgement_n of_o the_o law_n of_o all_o these_o thing_n christ_n kingdom_n be_v another_o manner_n of_o kingdom_n than_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n they_o be_v poor_a kingdom_n their_o monarch_n head_n must_v lie_v as_o low_o as_o the_o base_a subject_n they_o have_v they_o know_v not_o how_o soon_o and_o perhaps_o have_v a_o more_o terrible_a account_n to_o give_v than_o any_o other_o under_o they_o it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o christ_n kingdom_n therefore_o those_o christian_n that_o be_v afraid_a of_o

their_o lord_n when_o they_o die_v what_o need_v they_o fear_v to_o die_v and_o therefore_o let_v we_o comfort_v ourselves_o when_o god_n call_v for_o we_o he_o be_v our_o lord_n as_o well_o when_o

his_o end_n must_v be_v our_o end_n his_o end_n be_v that_o whether_o we_o live_v or_o die_v he_o may_v rule_v over_o we_o our_o end_n shall_v be_v in_o life_n and_o death_n to_o be_v rule_v by_o he_o how_o shall_v we_o live_v to_o christ_n we_o live_v to_o christ_n this_o be_v a_o ground_n of_o all_o other_o duty_n that_o follow_v when_o we_o know_v and_o acknowledge_v christ_n have_v a_o full_a

they_o have_v no_o will_n of_o their_o own_o so_o he_o that_o live_v to_o christ_n and_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v a_o lord_n he_o must_v have_v no_o will_n of_o his_o own_o but_o he_o must_v

glory_n of_o christ_n think_v of_o we_o in_o he_o when_o we_o see_v he_o bear_v think_v he_o be_v bear_v for_o i_o when_o we_o see_v he_o die_v think_v we_o die_v with_o he_o when_o we_o see_v he_o

to_o we_o to_o conceive_v that_o he_o have_v a_o selfe-respect_n in_o these_o thing_n when_o he_o say_v in_o the_o text_n for_o this_o end_n christ_n die_v and_o rose_n and_o revive_v that_o he_o
