thing_n that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n inform_v we_o concern_v death_n that_o nature_n can_v never_o do_v the_o last_o that_o be_v the_o best_a the_o scripture_n give_v we_o a_o remedy_n against_o death_n the_o ill_a of_o death_n it_o be_v a_o pitiful_a thing_n to_o hear_v of_o mortality_n and_o sickness_n if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o good_a potion_n or_o physic_n prescribe_v to_o escape_v the_o ill_a of_o it_o to_o hear_v tell_v of_o death_n and_o so_o tell_v as_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o go_v to_o another_o world_n of_o weal_n or_o woe_n and_o not_o to_o hear_v of_o a_o remedy_n it_o be_v woeful_a tiding_n and_o will_v wring_v tear_n from_o a_o hard_a heart_n but_o the_o scripture_n make_v report_n of_o death_n not_o only_o tolerable_a and_o easy_a but_o comfortable_a and_o gladsome_a to_o a_o christian_a heart_n for_o it_o show_v by_o who_o and_o by_o what_o mean_v we_o may_v infallible_o and_o certain_o escape_v all_o the_o hurt_n that_o death_n can_v do_v nay_o by_o what_o mean_v we_o may_v order_v ourselves_o so_o that_o death_n may_v be_v beneficial_a to_o we_o what_o be_v that_o in_o one_o short_a word_n it_o be_v christ_n i_o be_o the_o resurrection_n and_o the_o life_n he_o that_o believe_v in_o i_o shall_v never_o see_v death_n he_o mean_v to_o hurt_v himself_o again_o this_o be_v the_o message_n that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o life_n and_o this_o life_n be_v in_o his_o son_n and_o he_o that_o have_v the_o son_n have_v life_n our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o may_v destroy_v he_o that_o have_v the_o power_n of_o death_n and_o so_o set_v they_o at_o liberty_n that_o all_o their_o life-time_n be_v in_o bondage_n under_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n and_o saint_n john_n say_v he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o destroy_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n which_o be_v sin_n and_o death_n so_o that_o now_o death_n have_v lose_v his_o sting_n because_o christ_n overcome_v it_o in_o die_v he_o slay_v death_n and_o be_v the_o death_n of_o death_n this_o man_n christ_n god_n and_o man_n he_o offer_v himself_o to_o his_o father_n as_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o die_v a_o curse_a death_n upon_o the_o cross_n so_o satisfy_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n on_o the_o behalf_n of_o all_o those_o that_o be_v in_o he_o that_o death_n can_v do_v they_o no_o harm_n it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o passage_n to_o eternal_a blessedness_n oh_o bless_a be_v the_o name_n of_o god_n that_o have_v be_v please_v to_o provide_v so_o perfect_a a_o remedy_n against_o so_o mortal_a a_o enemy_n and_o to_o lay_v it_o open_v so_o clear_o and_o plain_o in_o the_o gospel_n you_o have_v hear_v of_o those_o thing_n that_o i_o think_v to_o put_v you_o in_o mind_n of_o concern_v death_n and_o so_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o first_o point_n the_o second_o be_v that_o death_n be_v a_o enemy_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n enemy_n paul_n tell_v we_o of_o a_o certain_a sting_n it_o have_v oh_o death_n where_o be_v thy_o sting_n it_o be_v a_o arm_a enemy_n it_o come_v as_o a_o serpent_n with_o a_o sting_n that_o enter_v into_o a_o man_n soul_n put_v it_o to_o extreme_a perplexity_n if_o he_o take_v not_o order_n to_o disarm_v this_o enemy_n a_o enemy_n you_o know_v be_v a_o person_n that_o set_v himself_o wilful_o to_o

and_o seek_v to_o perform_v somewhat_o that_o shall_v be_v injurious_a to_o he_o we_o call_v not_o he_o a_o enemy_n that_o we_o receive_v a_o little_a hurt_n from_o against_o his_o will_n contrary_a to_o his_o purpose_n and_o intention_n but_o he_o that_o study_v and_o beforehand_o desire_v to_o be_v a_o enemy_n now_o death_n as_o we_o may_v say_v study_v our_o hurt_n in_o all_o extremity_n beforehand_o there_o be_v but_o two_o sort_n of_o hurt_n that_o can_v come_v to_o a_o man_n one_o be_v to_o deprive_v he_o of_o that_o which_o be_v beneficial_a and_o comfortable_a comfortable_a to_o

and_o rob_v and_o take_v away_o all_o that_o be_v comfortable_a to_o they_o so_o much_o as_o they_o can_v death_n be_v such_o a_o enemy_n it_o desire_v to_o bereave_v a_o man_n of_o that_o necessary_a
