improvement_n of_o what_o i_o have_v say_v and_o first_o this_o doctrine_n that_o i_o have_v deliver_v discover_v to_o we_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o christian_a institution_n life_n and_o immortality_n be_v bring_v to_o light_n by_o the_o gospel_n all_o that_o have_v be_v say_v by_o heathen_a poet_n and_o philosopher_n concern_v a_o future_a state_n be_v but_o obscure_a conjecture_n to_o the_o shine_a revelation_n of_o the_o gospel_n they_o understand_v not_o that_o the_o sting_n of_o death_n be_v remove_v by_o the_o suffering_n of_o the_o redeemer_n or_o that_o the_o body_n shall_v be_v raise_v with_o a_o transcendent_a lustre_n and_o dignity_n to_o receive_v a_o reward_n with_o the_o soul_n yea_o under_o the_o mosaic_a oeconomy_n a_o future_a state_n be_v but_o obscure_o reveal_v but_o under_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o gospel_n we_o have_v a_o most_o charm_a landscape_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o way_n to_o obtain_v it_o be_v set_v in_o the_o most_o clear_a and_o certain_a light_n second_o this_o doctrine_n may_v be_v improve_v to_o guard_v good_a man_n against_o the_o slavish_a fear_n of_o death_n why_o shall_v the_o righteous_a be_v afraid_a to_o repose_v upon_o a_o bed_n of_o dust_n death_n be_v but_o a_o sleep_n from_o which_o we_o shall_v be_v awaken_v in_o the_o morning_n of_o the_o resurrection_n and_o christ_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v have_v disarm_v death_n of_o its_o sting_n and_o alter_v it_o in_o its_o very_a nature_n to_o the_o righteous_a i_o confess_v i_o do_v not_o wonder_v that_o the_o wicked_a and_o profane_a be_v afraid_a of_o death_n for_o they_o know_v it_o put_v a_o period_n to_o their_o pleasure_n and_o begin_v their_o torment_n it_o snatch_v they_o from_o the_o joy_n of_o life_n and_o fix_v they_o under_o the_o agony_n of_o the_o second_o death_n so_o that_o some_o not_o only_o fear_v death_n itself_o but_o the_o very_a name_n of_o it_o be_v terrible_a which_o occasion_v a_o prince_n that_o i_o have_v read_v of_o to_o forbid_v the_o mention_n of_o it_o in_o all_o his_o court_n yea_o so_o enslave_v be_v some_o by_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n that_o they_o conceive_v a_o abhorrence_n at_o the_o sight_n of_o a_o coffin_n the_o dress_n of_o mourner_n and_o the_o solemnity_n of_o a_o funeral_n which_o as_o one_o say_v be_v only_o the_o outguard_n that_o make_v up_o the_o retinue_n of_o the_o king_n of_o terror_n it_o be_v report_v of_o alexander_n who_o have_v often_o encounter_v the_o numerous_a army_n of_o the_o asian_a monarch_n and_o despise_v the_o terror_n of_o battle_n yet_o when_o he_o be_v seize_v with_o a_o mortal_a disease_n in_o babylon_n he_o be_v so_o afraid_a of_o death_n that_o his_o court_n be_v fill_v with_o diviner_n and_o victim_n and_o all_o the_o little_a art_n of_o superstition_n be_v we_o do_v to_o preserve_v his_o life_n
