say_v to_o do_v who_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o great_a anguish_n and_o torment_n as_o those_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v who_o be_v in_o purgatory_n but_o above_o all_o this_o reason_v of_o s._n paul_n be_v utter_o inconsistent_a with_o any_o imagination_n of_o such_o a_o state_n for_o he_o encourage_v all_o christian_n in_o general_a against_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n from_o the_o

with_o the_o lord_n but_o no_o man_n sure_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o leave_v the_o body_n to_o go_v into_o a_o place_n of_o exquisite_a and_o extreme_a torment_n which_o they_o tell_v we_o be_v the_o case_n of_o most_o christian_n when_o they_o die_v and_o what_o can_v be_v more_o unreasonable_a than_o to_o make_v the_o apostle_n to_o use_v a_o argument_n to_o comfort_v all_o christian_n against_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n which_o concern_v but_o very_o few_o in_o comparison_n so_o that_o if_o the_o apostle_n reason_v be_v good_a that_o while_o we_o be_v in_o this_o life_n we_o be_v detain_v from_o our_o happiness_n and_o so_o soon_o as_o we_o depart_v this_o life_n we_o pass_v immediate_o into_o it_o and_o therefore_o death_n be_v desirable_a to_o all_o good_a man_n i_o say_v if_o this_o reason_n be_v good_a it_o be_v very_o clear_a that_o saint_n paul_n know_v nothing_o of_o the_o doctrine_n now_o teach_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n concern_v purgatory_n because_o that_o be_v utter_o inconsistent_a with_o what_o he_o express_o assert_n in_o this_o chapter_n and_o quite_o take_v away_o the_o force_n of_o his_o whole_a argument_n 3._o to_o encourage_v we_o against_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n and_o this_o be_v the_o conclusion_n which_o the_o apostle_n make_v from_o this_o consideration_n therefore_o say_v he_o we_o be_v of_o good_a courage_n know_v that_o whilst_o we_o converse_v in_o the_o body_n we_o be_v absent_a from_o the_o lord_n there_o be_v in_o we_o a_o natural_a love_n of_o life_n and_o a_o natural_a horror_n and_o dread_n of_o death_n so_o that_o our_o spirit_n be_v apt_a to_o shrink_v at_o the_o thought_n of_o the_o approach_n of_o it_o but_o this_o fear_n may_v very_o much_o be_v mitigate_v and_o even_o overrule_v by_o reason_n and_o the_o consideration_n of_o religion_n for_o death_n be_v not_o so_o dreadful_a in_o itself_o as_o with_o regard_n to_o the_o consequence_n of_o it_o and_o those_o will_v be_v as_o we_o be_v comfortable_a and_o happy_a to_o the_o good_a but_o dismal_a and_o miserable_a to_o the_o wicked_a so_o that_o the_o only_a true_a antidote_n against_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n be_v the_o hope_n of_o a_o better_a life_n and_o the_o only_a firm_a ground_n of_o these_o hope_n be_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n upon_o our_o due_a preparation_n for_o another_o world_n by_o repentance_n and_o a_o holy_a life_n for_o the_o sting_n of_o death_n be_v sin_n and_o when_o that_o be_v take_v away_o the_o terror_n and_o bitterness_n of_o death_n be_v past_a and_o then_o death_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v dreadful_a that_o in_o reason_n it_o be_v extreme_o desirable_a because_o it_o let_v we_o into_o a_o better_a state_n such_o as_o only_o deserve_v the_o name_n of_o life_n he_o vivunt_fw-la

but_o they_o be_v part_v from_o we_o and_o the_o thought_n of_o this_o be_v grievous_a but_o yet_o the_o consideration_n of_o their_o be_v part_v for_o a_o while_o be_v not_o near_o so_o sad_a as_o the_o hope_n of_o a_o happy_a meeting_n again_o never_o to_o be_v part_v any_o more_o be_v comfortable_a and_o joyful_a so_o that_o the_o great_a our_o love_n to_o they_o be_v the_o less_o shall_v

out_o of_o the_o reach_n of_o all_o harm_n and_o danger_n for_o ever_o but_o though_o the_o reason_n of_o our_o duty_n in_o this_o case_n be_v very_o plain_a yet_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o be_v
