soon_o as_o he_o see_v christ_n he_o desire_v of_o god_n that_o he_o may_v die_v &_o depart_v out_o of_o this_o earthly_a prison_n so_o soon_o as_o a_o man_n know_v god_n ever_o henceforth_o he_o cry_v with_o the_o apostle_n i_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v that_o he_o may_v be_v with_o christ_n for_o christ_n be_v light_a &_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o 23._o phil._n 1._o 23._o see_v he_o they_o

that_o they_o may_v not_o die_v such_o love_n they_o bear_v to_o life_n so_o i_o conclude_v that_o no_o man_n be_v willing_a to_o die_v till_o his_o conscience_n be_v quiet_a in_o christ_n for_o then_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n fall_v away_o like_o the_o mantel_n of_o elias_n when_o he_o be_v rapt_v into_o 2._o 2_o king_n 2._o heaven_n simeon_n have_v see_v many_o thing_n in_o his_o

so_o mark_v the_o end_n of_o the_o just_a and_o you_o shall_v then_o depart_v in_o peace_n like_o the_o lamb_n upon_o the_o cross_n fain_o will_v balaam_n die_v the_o death_n of_o the_o righteous_a but_o balaam_n 23._o num._n 23._o must_v then_o live_v the_o life_n of_o the_o righteous_a therefore_o all_o man_n look_v to_o this_o happy_a be_v they_o that_o depart_v in_o peace_n when_o death_n say_v fear_n and_o the_o serpent_n say_v despair_v then_o say_v the_o spirit_n to_o the_o flesh_n crouch_v &_o bid_v the_o serpent_n fly_v while_o death_n open_v the_o prison_n door_n if_o the_o papist_n believe_v that_o they_o depart_v in_o peace_n they_o will_v never_o say_v that_o those_o which_o depart_v go_v to_o purgatory_n &_o so_o by_o their_o own_o say_n the_o worst_a part_n be_v

depart_v in_o peace_n etc._n etc._n in_o my_o last_o lecture_n i_o unfold_v two_o question_n the_o first_o whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o christian_a man_n to_o wish_v to_o die_v the_o second_o whether_o we_o may_v pray_v for_o the_o dead_a and_o say_v lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o they_o but_o all_o the_o seed_n be_v not_o fall_v into_o good_a ground_n &_o therefore_o some_o think_v it_o but_o a_o small_a matter_n to_o say_v so_o or_o as_o it_o be_v a_o venial_a sin_n if_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n but_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n how_o we_o make_v trifle_n of_o sin_n for_o there_o be_v no_o dally_n with_o god_n who_o be_v jealous_a as_o a_o consume_a fire_n when_o his_o people_n make_v such_o small_a account_n of_o his_o word_n 12._o heb._n 12._o other_o demand_n whether_o it_o be_v not_o better_a to_o say_v god_n be_v with_o they_o than_o the_o devil_n be_v with_o they_o both_o which_o be_v naught_o and_o to_o be_v eschew_v and_o herein_o they_o ask_v this_o question_n like_o a_o thief_n have_v rob_v a_o man_n by_o the_o high_a way_n and_o be_v take_v with_o it_o and_o demand_v why_o he_o do_v such_o a_o villainy_n he_o say_v be_v it_o not_o better_a to_o rob_v he_o then_o to_o kill_v he_o as_o though_o he_o must_v needs_o do_v the_o one_o of_o they_o then_o what_o a_o shameless_a answer_n be_v this_o for_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o of_o two_o evil_n none_o be_v to_o be_v choose_v some_o will_v say_v it_o be_v a_o testimony_n of_o our_o good_a dead_a three_o buckler_n wherewith_o some_o do_v use_v to_o maintain_v prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a will_n to_o such_o we_o
