god_n child_n over_o death_n oh_o death_n where_o be_v thy_o sting_n oh_o grave_n where_o be_v thy_o victory_n death_n be_v the_o great_a swallower_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v swallow_v up_o by_o christ_n

never_o satisfy_v like_o the_o grave_n yet_o this_o death_n be_v swallow_v up_o in_o victory_n but_o how_o come_v death_n to_o be_v swallow_v up_o he_o christ_n will_v swallow_v up_o death_n in_o victory_n for_o himself_o and_o he_o first_o of_o all_o because_o sin_v bring_v in_o death_n our_o saviour_n christ_n become_v sin_n a_o sacrifice_n to_o his_o father_n justice_n for_o sin_n reas_n he_o be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o he_o be_v make_v a_o curse_n for_o we_o sin_n to_o take_v away_o the_o curse_n due_a to_o we_o and_o sin_n be_v take_v away_o what_o have_v death_n to_o do_v with_o

that_o through_o death_n he_o may_v destroy_v he_o that_o have_v the_o power_n of_o death_n that_o be_v the_o devil_n so_o christ_n by_o death_n overthrow_v satan_n that_o have_v the_o power_n of_o death_n because_o by_o death_n he_o take_v away_o sin_n the_o sin_n of_o all_o and_o bear_v our_o sin_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o that_o know_v no_o sin_n he_o be_v we_o

have_v conquer_v all_o in_o his_o own_o person_n as_o our_o head_n than_o he_o will_v conquer_v for_o we_o in_o his_o mystical_a body_n what_o be_v now_o do_v in_o his_o person_n shall_v be_v do_v in_o his_o member_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n faith_n be_v our_o victory_n his_o conquest_n over_o death_n our_o victory_n his_o victory_n over_o all_o our_o spiritual_a enemy_n be_v our_o victory_n every_o one_o that_o believe_v be_v a_o conqueror_n of_o death_n though_o he_o die_v because_o he_o see_v it_o conquer_v in_o christ_n his_o head_n and_o as_o it_o be_v true_o conquer_v in_o he_o so_o christ_n will_v conquer_v it_o in_o all_o his_o member_n for_o as_o christ_n in_o his_o natural_a body_n be_v go_v to_o heaven_n there_o to_o appear_v in_o our_o behalf_n so_o shall_v mystical_a christ_n be_v whole_o in_o glory_n he_o will_v not_o leave_v a_o finger_n we_o shall_v all_o triumph_n over_o all_o our_o spiritual_a enemy_n as_o christ_n natural_a body_n be_v glorious_a in_o heaven_n as_o our_o head_n so_o shall_v also_o his_o mystical_a body_n be_v you_o see_v then_o how_o death_n be_v swallow_v up_o by_o christ_n as_o our_o surety_n as_o the_o second_o adam_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o true_o swallow_v up_o in_o he_o and_o by_o faith_n this_o victory_n be_v we_o and_o time_n will_v come_v when_o in_o our_o own_o person_n it_o shall_v be_v swallow_v up_o in_o

good_a it_o he_o give_v a_o great_a way_n to_o death_n for_o death_n seize_v on_o he_o upon_o the_o cross_n death_n sever_v soul_n from_o body_n death_n have_v he_o in_o his_o own_o cabinet_n his_o grave_n for_o three_o day_n nay_o this_o great_a king_n and_o tyrant_n death_n have_v a_o great_a conquest_n over_o christ_n himself_o but_o here_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o this_o victory_n when_o death_n this_o great_a conqueror_n of_o the_o world_n have_v christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o in_o his_o own_o dominion_n in_o the_o grave_n where_o he_o rule_v and_o reign_v consume_v and_o swallow_v up_o all_o death_n be_v fain_o to_o give_v up_o all_o and_o satan_n think_v to_o have_v have_v a_o great_a morsel_n when_o he_o devour_v christ_n but_o there_o be_v a_o hook_n in_o his_o divine_a power_n that_o catch_v he_o that_o when_o he_o think_v to_o have_v swallow_v up_o christ_n be_v swallow_v up_o himself_o his_o head_n be_v then_o break_v he_o never_o have_v such_o a_o blow_n as_o by_o christ_n on_o the_o cross_n when_o he_o be_v overcome_v be_v a_o scorn_n of_o the_o world_n visible_o yet_o invisible_o in_o god_n acceptation_n of_o that_o sacrifice_n and_o in_o a_o spirit_n of_o faith_n christ_n triumph_v over_o satan_n death_n be_v subdue_v even_o in_o his_o own_o kingdom_n and_o that_o make_v the_o victory_n great_a death_n by_o seize_v on_o christ_n without_o right_n christ_n have_v free_v we_o from_o the_o evil_a of_o death_n when_o it_o have_v right_a to_o we_o death_n have_v lose_v all_o its_o right_n by_o fasten_v on_o christ_n and_o so_o be_v become_v as_o a_o drone_n without_o a_o sting_n so_o the_o great_a swallower_n of_o all_o be_v swallow_v up_o itself_o at_o last_o by_o christ_n now_o for_o comfortable_a use_n of_o it_o 1_o first_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o god_n oftentimes_o give_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o way_n to_o his_o great_a enemy_n victory_n god_n use_v a_o stratagem_n of_o retire_v he_o seem_v to_o retire_v and_o give_v liberty_n to_o his_o enemy_n but_o it_o be_v to_o triumph_v and_o trample_v upon_o they_o with_o great_a shame_n he_o will_v tread_v they_o to_o dust_n afterward_o christ_n give_v death_n a_o great_a deal_n of_o liberty_n he_o be_v crucify_v and_o torment_v then_o have_v to_o the_o grave_n and_o there_o he_o lay_v and_o this_o be_v to_o raise_v a_o great_a triumph_n over_o this_o great_a prevailer_n over_o the_o world_n and_o death_n itself_o it_o be_v continue_v so_o in_o the_o church_n do_v not_o he_o give_v way_n to_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o church_n they_o may_v come_v to_o say_v ahah_n ahah_o so_o will_v we_o have_v it_o now_o the_o poor_a child_n of_o god_n be_v where_o we_o will_v have_v they_o but_o then_o come_v sudden_a destruction_n god_n to_o make_v his_o victory_n more_o glorious_a and_o more_o to_o discover_v their_o cruelty_n come_v upon_o they_o when_o they_o be_v in_o the_o top_n of_o pleasure_n and_o the_o church_n in_o the_o bottom_n of_o abasement_n then_o god_n swallow_v up_o all_o in_o victory_n as_o christ_n do_v death_n when_o it_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v itself_o victorious_a this_o be_v a_o very_a comfortable_a consideration_n for_o if_o death_n be_v overcome_v when_o it_o seem_v to_o overcome_v christ_n what_o need_v we_o fear_v any_o other_o enemy_n christ_n have_v break_v the_o net_n as_o a_o eagle_n or_o great_a bird_n and_o the_o rest_n escape_n by_o he_o you_o may_v enlarge_v this_o in_o your_o own_o meditation_n he_o will_v swallow_v up_o death_n in_o victory_n

have_v overcome_v the_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n once_o what_o more_o be_v to_o be_v do_v what_o if_o they_o take_v away_o life_n they_o can_v take_v away_o that_o that_o be_v better_a than_o life_n the_o favour_n of_o god_n if_o we_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n we_o die_v in_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n which_o be_v better_o than_o life_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v find_v in_o the_o lord_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o shall_v be_v for_o ever_o with_o the_o lord_n in_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v a_o ground_n of_o resolution_n in_o good_a cause_n notwithstanding_o all_o threat_n whatsoever_o because_o death_n itself_o be_v swallow_v up_o in_o victory_n the_o worst_a the_o world_n can_v do_v pleasure_n be_v to_o take_v away_o this_o nature_n of_o we_o when_o they_o have_v do_v that_o they_o have_v do_v all_o they_o can_v and_o when_o they_o have_v do_v that_o they_o have_v do_v a_o pleasure_n that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v fear_v say_v tertullian_n that_o free_v we_o from_o all_o that_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v what_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v in_o the_o world_n every_o sickness_n every_o disgrace_n why_o death_n free_v we_o from_o all_o we_o do_v see_v every_o day_n take_v away_o a_o piece_n of_o one_o life_n and_o when_o death_n come_v it_o overthrow_v itself_o for_o the_o soul_n go_v present_o to_o the_o place_n of_o happiness_n the_o body_n sleep_v awhile_o and_o death_n have_v no_o more_o power_n he_o that_o believe_v in_o i_o say_v christ_n he_o shall_v not_o see_v death_n but_o be_v pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n he_o shall_v not_o see_v spiritual_a death_n but_o as_o he_o live_v in_o christ_n shall_v die_v in_o christ_n and_o rise_v again_o in_o christ_n he_o that_o have_v the_o life_n of_o grace_n begin_v shall_v have_v it_o consummate_v without_o interruption_n it_o be_v a_o point_n of_o wonderful_a comfort_n that_o death_n be_v so_o overcome_v that_o we_o be_v in_o heaven_n already_o and_o it_o be_v no_o hard_a speech_n but_o stand_v with_o the_o truth_n of_o other_o point_n for_o be_v not_o christ_n and_o we_o all_o one_o his_o body_n be_v there_o and_o be_v not_o he_o the_o head_n of_o his_o mystical_a body_n he_o that_o carry_v his_o natural_a body_n will_v not_o he_o carry_v his_o mystical_a body_n thither_o too_o will_v he_o be_v in_o piecemeal_o in_o heaven_n therefore_o we_o be_v in_o heaven_n already_o the_o best_a part_n of_o we_o we_o be_v represent_v in_o heaven_n for_o christ_n represent_v we_o there_o as_o the_o husband_n do_v the_o wife_n he_o have_v take_v up_o heaven_n for_o we_o christ_n can_v be_v divide_v heaven_n as_o austin_n say_v we_o sit_v in_o heavenly_a place_n already_o with_o christ_n and_o what_o a_o comfort_n be_v this_o that_o while_o we_o live_v we_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o that_o death_n can_v hinder_v we_o from_o our_o resurrection_n which_o be_v the_o restore_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v comfort_v one_o another_o with_o these_o thing_n these_o thing_n indeed_o have_v much_o comfort_n in_o they_o let_v we_o labour_v then_o to_o be_v comfortable_a this_o use_n the_o apostle_n make_v of_o it_o christ_n and_o fruitful_a
