indeed_o be_v so_o contrary_a to_o nature_n and_o look_v so_o like_o a_o utter_a extinction_n of_o be_v that_o if_o christ_n have_v not_o give_v we_o assurance_n of_o a_o bless_a immortality_n there_o

when_o they_o see_v it_o make_v near_o approach_n to_o they_o for_o not_o only_o the_o face_n of_o death_n itself_o be_v dreadful_a as_o it_o come_v to_o hurry_v they_o from_o all_o enjoyment_n of_o this_o life_n in_o which_o they_o place_v all_o their_o happiness_n but_o go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n they_o have_v a_o prospect_n of_o the_o sad_a region_n of_o despair_n into_o which_o they_o be_v enter_v the_o devil_n who_o flatter_v they_o before_o and_o gentle_o seduce_v they_o to_o sin_n now_o put_v on_o his_o natural_a affright_a visage_n accuse_v and_o threaten_v they_o with_o all_o the_o

sting_n of_o death_n and_o the_o strength_n of_o sin_n be_v the_o law_n 1_o cor._n 15._o 56._o it_o be_v thus_o the_o devil_n use_v his_o power_n to_o keep_v man_n in_o a_o slavish_a submission_n to_o he_o and_o as_o a_o true_a tyrant_n he_o govern_v his_o subject_n only_o by_o fear_n 5._o the_o devil_n have_v the_o power_n of_o death_n inasmuch_o as_o he_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o god_n

satan_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o a_o believer_n who_o be_v free_v from_o sin_n and_o the_o curse_n and_o condemnation_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v never_o be_v deliver_v to_o this_o tormentor_n as_o the_o expression_n be_v matth._n 18._o 24._o nor_o have_v he_o power_n to_o inflict_v temporal_a death_n on_o the_o believer_n he_o can_v separate_v our_o soul_n and_o body_n as_o he_o please_v if_o this_o be_v permit_v he_o what_o slaughter_n and_o devastation_n will_v he_o make_v in_o the_o world_n he_o destroy_v indeed_o the_o soul_n of_o wicked_a man_n but_o it_o be_v with_o their_o consent_n and_o they_o be_v their_o own_o murderer_n but_o man_n die_v according_a to_o god_n appointment_n and_o by_o those_o way_n and_o mean_n which_o he_o have_v foreordain_v to_o put_v a_o end_n unto_o their_o life_n ii_o the_o second_o part_n of_o my_o discourse_n be_v to_o prove_v that_o christ_n by_o die_v have_v destroy_v satan_n and_o the_o power_n of_o death_n at_o once_o he_o have_v destroy_v satan_n not_o by_o extinguish_v his_o be_v for_o the_o innumerable_a mischief_n which_o he_o do_v show_v he_o to_o be_v alive_a and_o very_o vigorous_a and_o active_a but_o as_o a_o tyrant_n be_v say_v to_o be_v ruin_v when_o his_o throne_n be_v overturn_v and_o his_o cruel_a oppressive_a government_n
be_v subvert_v so_o satan_n be_v say_v to_o be_v destroy_v when_o his_o kingdom_n be_v so_o and_o this_o have_v christ_n accomplish_v by_o his_o death_n for_o he_o have_v redeem_a the_o elect_a son_n of_o man_n out_o of_o the_o devil_n power_n and_o reduce_v they_o to_o his_o own_o kingdom_n insomuch_o as_o satan_n have_v no_o more_o dominion_n over_o they_o 1._o it_o be_v evident_a that_o christ_n have_v destroy_v satan_n and_o the_o power_n of_o death_n because_o his_o great_a design_n in_o assume_v our_o nature_n be_v to_o accomplish_v this_o glorious_a work_n he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n not_o to_o make_v himself_o great_a and_o honourable_a and_o to_o raise_v a_o earthly_a empire_n which_o he_o may_v easy_o have_v do_v whenever_o he_o please_v but_o he_o come_v to_o perform_v a_o more_o dreadful_a and_o difficult_a undertake_n he_o come_v to_o suffer_v the_o punishment_n due_a unto_o we_o that_o so_o he_o may_v be_v a_o proper_a sacrifice_n and_o the_o great_a propitiation_n to_o satisfy_v god_n justice_n and_o appease_v his_o wrath_n and_o redeem_v we_o who_o be_v obnoxious_a to_o it_o and_o subject_a to_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n he_o come_v to_o bear_v our_o sin_n to_o be_v wound_v for_o our_o transgression_n to_o be_v bruise_v for_o our_o iniquity_n to_o have_v the_o chastisement_n of_o our_o peace_n lay_v upon_o he_o that_o by_o his_o stripe_n we_o may_v be_v heal_v isa_n 53._o 5._o he_o come_v to_o live_v miserable_o as_o a_o man_n of_o sorrow_n and_o acquaint_v with_o grief_n and_o at_o last_o to_o die_v for_o we_o to_o endure_v god_n anger_n and_o undergo_v divine_a vengeance_n and_o he_o die_v on_o purpose_n that_o he_o may_v destroy_v the_o power_n of_o death_n and_o that_o the_o curse_n and_o sting_n of_o it_o be_v leave_v in_o his_o own_o soul_n it_o may_v do_v we_o no_o hurt_n thus_o his_o great_a design_n be_v to_o deliver_v we_o from_o death_n that_o it_o may_v not_o be_v a_o curse_n and_o horror_n to_o we_o when_o we_o pass_v through_o its_o gloomy_a shadow_n that_o it_o may_v not_o have_v power_n to_o hold_v we_o in_o its_o band_n but_o that_o our_o soul_n may_v immediate_o at_o the_o expire_a of_o
