that_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v first_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n say_v the_o apostle_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v of_o the_o depravation_n and_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n and_o so_o

thence_o the_o word_n extend_v to_o signify_v any_o other_o wage_n or_o salary_n whatsoever_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n by_o death_n here_o be_v signify_v and_o mean_v both_o temporal_a

of_o the_o text_n be_v this_o that_o death_n be_v as_o due_a to_o sin_n as_o wage_n to_o one_o that_o earn_v it_o to_o such_o a_o one_o wage_n be_v due_a in_o strict_a justice_n if_o a_o man_n have_v

be_v death_n due_a to_o sin_n the_o very_a demerrite_v of_o the_o work_n of_o sin_n require_v it_o as_o be_v earn_v god_n be_v as_o just_a in_o inflict_v death_n upon_o sinner_n for_o their_o sin_n as_o any_o man_n be_v in_o pay_v his_o labourer_n or_o hire_a servant_n their_o wage_n for_o this_o be_v the_o general_a plain_a scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n word_n here_o so_o in_o the_o beginning_n

to_o think_v that_o man_n shall_v have_v die_v a_o temporal_a natural_a death_n though_o he_o have_v never_o sin_v so_o they_o think_v that_o the_o natural_a temporal_a bodily_a death_n be_v not_o

be_v natural_a death_n to_o enter_v by_o sin_n sin_n bring_v in_o death_n no_o sin_n no_o death_n at_o all_o but_o it_o may_v be_v object_v when_o god_n tell_v adam_n in_o the_o day_n that_o he_o

this_o adam_n may_v be_v say_v to_o die_v a_o sin_v natural_a death_n as_o soon_o as_o he_o sin_v because_o by_o the_o guilt_n of_o his_o sin_n he_o then_o present_o become_v subject_a to_o it_o and_o

and_o cold_a and_o disease_n daily_o waste_v of_o the_o natural_a moisture_n to_o the_o quench_n of_o life_n indeed_o god_n suffer_v he_o that_o the_o sentence_n be_v not_o present_o execute_v so_o to_o commend_v his_o own_o patience_n and_o to_o give_v to_o adam_n occasion_n of_o salvation_n the_o promise_n of_o christ_n be_v after_o make_v and_o he_o call_v to_o repentance_n by_o that_o mean_n to_o attain_v a_o better_a life_n by_o christ_n than_o he_o lose_v by_o sin_n it_o be_v object_v again_o christ_n redeem_v we_o from_o all_o sin_n and_o all_o object_n the_o punishment_n thereof_o

a_o day_n of_o misery_n to_o be_v tremble_v at_o than_o a_o day_n of_o happiness_n to_o be_v long_v for_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o we_o be_v to_o distinguish_v touch_v death_n way_n for_o it_o must_v be_v consider_v two_o way_n first_o as_o it_o be_v in_o its_o own_o nature_n second_o as_o it_o be_v alter_v by_o christ_n in_o the_o first_o sense_n it_o be_v true_a that_o death_n be_v the_o

as_o it_o be_v even_o a_o door_n open_v out_o of_o this_o world_n into_o heaven_n now_o the_o godly_a look_v not_o upon_o death_n simple_o but_o upon_o death_n who_o sting_n and_o venom_n be_v pluck_v out_o by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o it_o be_v exceed_o comfortable_a but_o than_o second_o it_o be_v object_v that_o we_o read_v of_o many_o that_o 2._o have_v pray_v against_o death_n as_o namely_o first_o david_n return_v o_o lord_n say_v he_o and_o deliver_v my_o soul_n oh_o spare_v i_o for_o thy_o mercy_n sake_n for_o in_o death_n there_o be_v no_o remembrance_n of_o thou_o 5._o

a_o kind_n of_o thought_n be_v saint_n paul_n desire_n of_o dissolution_n mingle_v 24._o second_o he_o pray_v against_o death_n then_o because_o he_o know_v that_o his_o death_n then_o will_v be_v a_o
