do_v when_o he_o have_v finish_v his_o speech_n first_o we_o have_v the_o person_n that_o fall_v asleep_a and_o that_o be_v stephen_n he_o be_v a_o man_n full_a of_o faith_n and_o full_a of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o you_o may_v see_v act_n 6.5_o he_o be_v the_o first_o martyr_n that_o ever_o suffer_v for_o the_o cause_n of_o christ_n hence_o i_o may_v gather_v this_o doctrine_n viz._n observ._n that_o the_o best_a of_o man_n be_v subject_a to_o violent_a and_o unnatural_a death_n stephen_n that_o be_v full_a of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v stone_v to_o death_n and_o john_n the_o baptist_n that_o be_v full_a of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o the_o very_a womb_n be_v behead_v peter_n be_v crucify_v and_o so_o be_v andrew_n isaiah_n be_v saw_v asunder_o teremiah_n be_v store_v and_o zacharias_n be_v slay_v between_o the_o temple_n and_o the_o altar_n but_o i_o shall_v pass_v this_o the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o text_n be_v the_o speech_n that_o stephen_n make_v when_o he_o fall_v asleep_a hoc_fw-la dicto_fw-la obdermivit_fw-la that_o be_v when_o he_o have_v finish_v his_o prayer_n he_o fall_v asleep_a hence_o observe_v observ._n that_o it_o be_v a_o excellent_a way_n to_o close_v up_o our_o life_n with_o prayer_n to_o die_v pray_v be_v a_o most_o christian_a way_n of_o die_v they_o stone_v stephen_n call_v upon_o god_n after_o this_o manner_n christ_n die_v he_o pray_v father_n into_o they_o hand_n i_o commend_v my_o spirit_n and_o have_v thus_o say_v give_v up_o the_o ghost_n 23.46_o this_o he_o do_v that_o it_o may_v be_v a_o pattern_n to_o all_o christian_n prayer_n be_v a_o necessary_a duty_n at_o all_o time_n but_o especial_o when_o we_o be_v die_v and_o that_o for_o these_o three_o reason_n 1._o because_o when_o we_o be_v to_o die_v we_o have_v most_o need_n of_o good_a help_n for_o then_o the_o devil_n be_v most_o busy_a and_o we_o most_o weak_a 2._o because_o when_o we_o be_v to_o die_v we_o be_v to_o beg_v the_o great_a boon_n of_o god_n that_o be_v that_o he_o will_v receive_v we_o into_o his_o heavenly_a kingdom_n now_o prayer_n be_v the_o chief_a mean_n to_o obtain_v this_o mercy_n for_o it_o be_v porta_fw-la coeli_fw-la clavis_fw-la paradisi_fw-la the_o gate_n of_o heaven_n a_o key_n to_o let_v we_o into_o paradise_n therefore_o we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o die_v pray_v 3._o because_o when_o a_o saint_n of_o god_n be_v die_v he_o be_v then_o to_o take_v his_o last_o farewell_n of_o prayer_n in_o heaven_n there_o be_v no_o pray_v but_o all_o thanks_o give_v there_o be_v no_o need_n in_o heaven_n therefore_o no_o prayer_n in_o heaven_n now_o a_o saint_n of_o god_n be_v to_o take_v his_o leave_n of_o prayer_n when_o he_o be_v to_o die_v therefore_o it_o be_v sit_v he_o shall_v die_v pray_v i_o beseech_v you_o remember_v this_o pattern_n in_o the_o text_n st_n stephen_n die_v call_v upon_o the_o lord_n let_v we_o die_v pray_v as_o that_o emperor_n say_v oportet_fw-la imperatorem_fw-la

stephen_n prayer_n answ._n he_o pray_v for_o himself_o and_o he_o pray_v for_o his_o persecutor_n 1._o he_o pray_v for_o himself_o lord_n jesus_n receive_v my_o spirit_n ver._n 59_o 2._o he_o pray_v

time_n therefore_o i_o shall_v wave_v it_o and_o come_v to_o the_o three_o part_n which_o be_v that_o that_o by_o god_n assistance_n i_o purpose_v to_o speak_v unto_o viz._n what_o stephen_n do_v when_o he_o have_v finish_v his_o prayer_n when_o he_o have_v say_v this_o he_o fall_v asleep_a that_o be_v he_o die_v behold_v here_o the_o magnanimity_n the_o piety_n and_o the_o christian_a courage_n of_o stephen_n the_o people_n be_v stone_v of_o he_o and_o gnash_v their_o tooth_n upon_o he_o and_o the_o good_a man_n die_v with_o as_o much_o quietness_n of_o mind_n as_o if_o he_o have_v die_v in_o his_o bed_n he_o fall_v asleep_a while_o they_o be_v stone_v he_o while_o he_o die_v he_o pray_v and_o while_o he_o pray_v he_o die_v but_o what_o make_v stephen_n die_v thus_o quiet_o read_v the_o 55_o verse_n and_o you_o shall_v see_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v full_a of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n he_o look_v up_o stead_n fast_o into_o heaven_n and_o see_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o jesus_n stand_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n behold_v say_v he_o i_o see_v the_o heaven_n open_v and_o the_o son_n of_o man_n stand_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n this_o make_v he_o die_v with_o such_o a_o sweet_a quiet_a and_o calm_a temper_n he_o see_v jesus_n christ_n stand_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n ready_a to_o receive_v his_o soul_n and_o that_o make_v he_o die_v with_o such_o a_o extraordinary_a quietness_n of_o mind_n death_n in_o scripture_n especial_o the_o death_n of_o god_n child_n be_v often_o compare_v to_o a_o sleep_n it_o be_v say_v of_o david_n that_o he_o sleep_v with_o his_o father_n 2.10_o and_o it_o be_v say_v i_o thes._n 4.13_o i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o ignorant_a concerning_o they_o which_o be_v asleep_a that_o be_v concerning_o they_o which_o be_v dead_a and_o i_o cor._n ii_o 30_o for_o this_o cause_n many_o be_v weak_o and_o sick_a among_o you_o and_o many_o sleep_n that_o be_v many_o die_v this_o expression_n be_v a_o metaphorical_a expression_n and_o will_v afford_v we_o many_o rare_a and_o precious_a instruction_n about_o death_n and_o therefore_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n assist_v i_o i_o desire_v to_o spend_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o time_n in_o the_o open_n of_o this_o metaphor_n doct._n the_o observation_n be_v this_o viz._n that_o when_o a_o child_n of_o god_n die_v though_o his_o death_n he_o never_o so_o unnatural_a and_o violent_a yet_o it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o fall_v asleep_a or_o the_o death_n of_o a_o child_n of_o god_n though_o stone_v to_o death_n though_o burn_v to_o ash_n though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o violent_a and_o unnatural_a be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o fall_v asleep_o when_o he_o have_v say_v this_o he_o fall_v asleep_a somnus_n est_fw-la mortis_fw-la imago_fw-la sleep_n be_v the_o image_n of_o death_n there_o be_v many_o notable_a resemblance_n betwixt_o sleep_n and_o death_n some_o of_o which_o i_o shall_v speak_v unto_o at_o this_o time_n 1._o sleep_n be_v common_a to_o all_o man_n there_o be_v no_o man_n can_v live_v without_o sleep_n a_o man_n may_v live_v long_o without_o meat_n but_o no_o man_n can_v live_v long_o without_o sleep_n so_o it_o be_v true_a of_o death_n death_n be_v common_a to_o all_o it_o be_v appoint_v for_o all_o man_n once_o to_o die_v and_o therefore_o david_n say_v he_o be_v to_o go_v the_o way_n of_o all_o flesh_n statutum_fw-la est_fw-la omnibus_fw-la semel_fw-la mori_fw-la omnibus_fw-la est_fw-la calcanda_fw-la semel_fw-la lethivia_fw-la all_o man_n must_v sleep_v the_o sleep_n of_o death_n or_o else_o be_v change_v which_o be_v a_o metaphorical_a death_n 2._o as_o sleep_n arise_v from_o the_o vapour_n that_o ascend_v from_o the_o stomach_n to_o the_o head_n and_o tie_v the_o sense_n and_o

and_o all_o his_o posterity_n by_o one_o man_n sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n and_o death_n by_o sin_n and_o so_o death_n pass_v upon_o all_o man_n for_o that_o all_o have_v sin_v rom._n 5.12_o
