of_o death_n both_o of_o which_o be_v the_o dismal_a consequence_n of_o the_o transgression_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n but_o of_o these_o in_o their_o order_n 1._o the_o power_n of_o death_n which_o be_v apparent_a from_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n heb._n 2_o 14._o forasmuch_o then_o as_o the_o child_n be_v partaker_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n he_o himself_o likewise_o take_v part_n

therefore_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o the_o end_n of_o christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o become_v the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d to_o abolish_v or_o to_o take_v

for_o although_o by_o christ_n death_n temporal_a death_n be_v not_o take_v away_o yet_o it_o be_v deprive_v of_o that_o reign_a power_n over_o man_n as_o st._n paul_n elsewhere_o say_v ro._n 5.17_o

for_o we_o for_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o christ_n overcome_v the_o sharpness_n of_o death_n do_v rescue_v man_n from_o the_o power_n of_o death_n so_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o man_n to_o be_v for_o ever_o hold_v under_o it_o from_o all_o which_o we_o may_v easy_o gather_v this_o that_o christian_n or_o believer_n who_o be_v to_o be_v bring_v to_o heaven_n by_o christ_n be_v here_o in_o humane_a flesh_n and_o suffering_n and_o see_v that_o brethren_n or_o fellow-children_n be_v of_o like_a nature_n christ_n therefore_o who_o be_v call_v our_o elder-brother_n be_v declare_v to_o have_v part_n with_o we_o in_o flesh_n and_o suffering_n to_o this_o very_a end_n and_o purpose_n that_o he_o may_v frustrate_v and_o make_v void_a the_o design_n of_o he_o that_o be_v our_o enemy_n from_o the_o beginning_n which_o be_v to_o keep_v man_n under_o death_n and_o its_o rage_a power_n and_o to_o rescue_v man_n from_o the_o grave_n so_o that_o as_o in_o adam_n all_o die_v so_o in_o he_o the_o second_o adam_n all_o may_v be_v make_v alive_a 2._o from_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n when_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o do_v design_n to_o establish_v another_o law_n among_o the_o son_n of_o man_n upon_o which_o account_n he_o can_v not_o but_o expect_v because_o of_o the_o different_a nature_n of_o this_o institution_n from_o that_o which_o they_o live_v under_o and_o the_o corrupt_a disposition_n that_o they_o have_v contract_v by_o reason_n of_o sin_n that_o this_o his_o law_n will_v be_v oppose_v and_o the_o professor_n of_o this_o new_a law_n will_v be_v persecute_v therefore_o like_o a_o great_a exemplar_n of_o true_a courage_n he_o suffer_v these_o experience_n of_o temptation_n and_o affliction_n withâ—n_v his_o own_o soul_n to_o this_o

paul_n here_o lay_v it_o as_o a_o foundation_n of_o comfort_n to_o they_o that_o dread_a persecution_n because_o they_o fear_v death_n now_o that_o they_o may_v be_v able_a to_o go_v on_o in_o the_o obedience_n of_o faith_n and_o act_n like_o champion_n in_o their_o several_a station_n and_o fight_v manful_o against_o the_o opposer_n of_o his_o gospel_n viz._n the_o devil_n the_o world_n and_o the_o flesh_n the_o apostle_n assure_v they_o that_o christ_n have_v redeem_v they_o from_o death_n o_o death_n i_o will_v be_v thy_o plague_n hos_fw-la 13.14_o o_o grave_n i_o will_v be_v thy_o

enjoy_v the_o promise_n of_o deliverance_n here_o in_o this_o life_n they_o shall_v rise_v again_o to_o eternal_a joy_n &_o felicity_n through_o he_o that_o love_v they_o &_o give_v himself_o for_o

why_o the_o messiah_n be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v that_o he_o may_v take_v away_o the_o fear_n of_o persecution_n and_o death_n itself_o which_o make_v man_n so_o cowardly_a and_o keep_v they_o in_o such_o awe_n that_o be_v in_o a_o most_o unchristian_a and_o servile_a condition_n whilst_o they_o see_v no_o hope_n of_o deliverance_n therefore_o christian_n be_v by_o the_o same_o apostle_n heb._n 12.1_o 2_o 3._o admonish_v that_o in_o those_o affliction_n that_o so_o easy_o beset_v man_n they_o â—ay_v aside_o all_o worldly_a love_n and_o fear_n that_o may_v encumber_v they_o in_o
