i_o answer_v brief_o these_o saint_n do_v not_o nor_o be_v to_o fly_v from_o death_n as_o it_o be_v the_o end_n of_o life_n and_o bless_a end_n of_o a_o good_a life_n but_o use_v the_o meant_n of_o

that_o make_v it_o and_o because_o such_o untimely_a death_n be_v enemy_n to_o the_o good_a they_o have_v to_o do_v and_o course_n they_o be_v to_o finish_v therefore_o they_o go_v aside_o by_o fly_v for_o some_o time_n and_o till_o the_o time_n of_o their_o departure_n come_v that_o they_o may_v do_v the_o good_a to_o which_o they_o be_v appoint_v and_o finish_v the_o course_n for_o which_o they_o be_v send_v but_o where_o it_o be_v allege_v that_o christ_n himself_o pray_v against_o the_o cup_n of_o death_n i_o answer_v two_o way_n and_o first_o that_o he_o pray_v without_o sin_n and_o without_o have_v sin_n against_o it_o see_v that_o in_o that_o his_o supplication_n of_o tear_n and_o much_o fear_n he_o submit_v always_o to_o his_o father_n will_n and_o see_v also_o death_n be_v not_o to_o he_o as_o it_o be_v to_o us._n for_o to_o we_o the_o sting_n of_o it_o be_v conquer_v and_o the_o force_n break_v but_o to_o he_o it_o be_v in_o full_a power_n he_o feel_v the_o sting_n of_o it_o and_o wrestle_v with_o the_o force_n of_o it_o in_o soul_n and_o body_n second_o i_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o mere_o a_o bodily_a death_n though_o unsubdued_a save_v where_o himself_o subdue_v it_o that_o he_o tremble_v at_o but_o by_o the_o burden_n of_o our_o sin_n which_o he_o be_v to_o undergo_v in_o which_o he_o behold_v the_o whole_a there_o he_o see_v his_o father_n countenance_n turn_v against_o he_o and_o there_o know_v that_o he_o must_v bear_v his_o wrath_n because_o he_o bear_v our_o sin_n beside_o christ_n fear_v death_n be_v clothe_v with_o our_o flesh_n to_o show_v that_o he_o take_v our_o infirmity_n and_o bear_v our_o sorrow_n and_o be_v perfect_a man_n and_o so_o death_n in_o some_o case_n may_v be_v fear_v and_o at_o some_o time_n pray_v against_o but_o ever_o under_o the_o correction_n of_o god_n will_n esay_n 38.2.3_o for_o the_o rod_n of_o death_n turn_v into_o a_o serpent_n make_v moses_n to_o fear_v exo._n 4.3_o and_o the_o best_a have_v moderate_o decline_v and_o shrink_v at_o the_o stroke_n of_o death_n when_o it_o come_v in_o some_o tempest_n and_o who_o do_v not_o dread_a all_o god_n terror_n whereof_o death_n be_v

that_o which_o have_v make_v the_o strong_a the_o wise_a the_o rich_a the_o great_a to_o fall_v down_o flat_a before_o it_o therefore_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n thus_o reprove_v be_v not_o the_o natural_a fear_n of_o it_o which_o be_v in_o all_o but_o the_o servile_a fear_n of_o it_o proper_a to_o evil_a doer_n and_o common_a to_o those_o who_o can_v have_v no_o hope_n in_o death_n because_o they_o never_o care_v to_o live_v till_o they_o be_v compel_v to_o die_v and_o now_o that_o we_o have_v hear_v what_o fear_n of_o death_n it_o be_v that_o god_n child_n must_v not_o be_v stain_v with_o as_o namely_o that_o which_o be_v servile_a and_o cowardly_a we_o will_v show_v and_o that_o brief_o why_o such_o fear_n of_o death_n shall_v fall_v upon_o none_o of_o god_n servant_n who_o in_o so_o great_a peace_n leave_v this_o world_n and_o for_o so_o precious_a a_o crown_n of_o glory_n for_o if_o we_o have_v no_o better_a resemblance_n of_o death_n then_o when_o we_o sleep_v nor_o

be_v not_o only_o a_o depart_n from_o pain_n and_o euril_n but_o a_o access_n to_o all_o good_a nor_o the_o end_n of_o life_n but_o the_o end_n of_o death_n and_o beginning_n of_o life_n eternal_a
