have their feete shod with the preparation of the Gospell of peace as it is Ephes 6.15 As therefore wee would doe God service and his Cause honour as wee would be able to be good Souldiers and resolute couragious Champions for Christ and his cause which is the greatest honour in the world so get that taken away that takes away all courage Take away the iniquity of thy servant for that will take away the courage and resolution of thy servant get that off which will cowe thy Spirit the guilt of thy sinne Get the pardon of thy sinne Get thy feete shod with the preparation of the Gospell of peace If once thine heart have the peace of the Gospels working have peace from thy pardon it will make thee looke upon prisons scourges rackes strappadoes gibbets stakes fires as at so many flea-bitings It will make a man have an heart like David his heart was as the heart of a Lion Sixthly it is an excellent and speciall preparative for death There is no man but must die and there is nothing so much concernes a man as to be fit and prepared to dye It is appointed to all men once to dye and after death comes judgement Heb. 9. After death comes Judgement and as a mans death is so is his judgement As the tree falls so it lyes Such as a mans death is such is his doome If a man dye with his sinnes pardoned then hee is judged to life if a man dyes without pardon then his judgement is without mercy hee is judged to death and sentenced to Hell Inasmuch therefore as a man is never fit to dye comfortably and happily till death shall make way for him into Heaven and a man cannot looke for any entrance into Heaven till hee be pardoned his sinne therefore till a mans sinne be pardoned hee is never fit to dye See how Job speakes Iob 7.21 Why doest thou not pardon my sin and take away mine iniquity As if hee should say Oh Lord be not hard to be entreated let mee prevaile with thee for the pardon of my sinne But why is Iob so earnest for the pardon of his sinne See what followes for now shall I sleep in the dust As if he should say Now Lord I am upon the point of death and looke for no other but to dye and alas how sad will my condition be if I should dye without my pardon Since I must dye Lord fit and prepare me for a comfortable death by the pardon of my sinne Then is a man fit to dye when the time after death shall prove a time of refreshing Times of refreshing come after the pardon of sinne Act. 3.19 Repent saith Peter to the men of Israel and be converted that your sinnes may be blotted out when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. And then the times after death are times of refreshing when the times before death are times of remission Hee hath prepared himselfe well for death that hath taken order that the time after his death shal be a refreshing time and that order onely hee takes that before his death hath taken order for the pardon of his sinnes Then a man is fit to dye and never till then when the sting of death is taken out so as death can doe a man no hurt when death shall not be deadly to him There is a speech Apoc. 2.23 I will kill her children with death Some men are kill'd with death they doe not onely dye but they are kill'd with death Death proves deadly to them All men dye but all men are not killed with death As a godly man said that hee did agrotare vitaliter so godly men they doe mori vitaliter When a man can dye so then hee is fit to dye Now whence is it that death becomes deadly 1 Cor. 15.56 The sting of death is sinne Sinne onely makes death deadly That which armes death to doe hurt is sinne It is as in that case Apoc. 9.10 The Locusts there had a power to hurt men with their Scorpion-like tailes and their stings in those tailes and their power was to hurt men five moneths So death hath a power to hurt men but that power is from men themselves Sinne it is that gives this power to Death to doe a man hurt In Death there be two things First the hand of Death which is the power it hath over all men it hath an hand to lay upon all good and bad Hos 13.14 I will ransome them from the power of the grave I will redeeme them from death Psal 49.15 But God will redeeme my soule from the power of the grave for hee shall receive mee All men must come into this hand of death Now it is sin that gives Death this hand But yet this hand is not deadly it but separates soule and body and but for a time At the Resurrection that hand of death shall be cut off Hos 13.14 O death I will be thy plague O grave I will be thy destruction Secondly the sting of death That is the power it hath of delivering men over to the curse of God and eternall wrath And it is this sting that makes it deadly It may strike a man with the hand as it doth all godly men and yet not be deadly but then deadly when it strikes with a sting and makes way for a mans separation from God for ever And this power sinne onely gives death It is sinne unpardoned and unforgiven that gives death this power to deliver a man over to wrath to carry him in chaines to Hell This is to be killed with Death Now a man can never be fit to dye but when he is willing And never can hee bee willing so long as hee sees Death with a sting The onely way to fit a man for death so as to be willing to dye is to get out the sting The way to get out the sting is to get sinne pardoned pardoned sinne makes death without a sting and then it is not terrible A Fly makes as great an humming as a Bee and yet wee feare not a Fly as a Bee because a Fly hath no sting Wee are fit to dye when wee feare not Death This of all other should make us very sollicitous for our pardon Death is the King of terrours and it is a sad thing at the time of death to have the heart full of feares the conscience full of horrours to have death looke gastfully in our faces Get pardon and free from all this Dye thou must that 's once Now if one should come and tell us you shall dye in a Gaole you shall dye in a ditch wee should thinke it a sad hearing it would sound dolefully in our eares I but there is a speech of Christs to those Joh. 8.21.24 that sounds more dreadfully then the former Yee shall dye in your sinnes It is a sad thing to dye in a Gaole to dye in a ditch but this is the sad
