our_o sin_n and_o sorrow_n die_v and_o rise_v no_o more_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v it_o be_v a_o happiness_n to_o be_v christ_n soldier_n in_o the_o field_n of_o this_o world_n but_o o_o how_o happy_a

her_o infirmity_n she_o oft_o bewail_v and_o they_o serve_v but_o to_o enhance_v the_o price_n of_o her_o saviour_n blood_n she_o profess_v she_o be_v willing_a to_o die_v that_o she_o may_v cease_v

but_o who_o know_v how_o to_o die_v death_n be_v the_o way_n of_o all_o the_o earth_n but_o a_o happy_a death_n be_v a_o way_n that_o few_o find_v out_o now_o see_v we_o can_v make_v a_o covenant_n with_o death_n let_v we_o labour_n to_o have_v death_n in_o the_o covenant_n will_v thou_o die_v and_o go_v to_o the_o grave_a in_o peace_n then_o 1._o meditate_v on_o the_o death_n of_o christ._n some_o harden_v themselves_o against_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n because_o it_o be_v the_o general_a lot_n of_o mankind_n all_o must_v die_v say_v they_o it_o be_v appoint_v for_o all_o man_n once_o to_o die_v but_o alas_o what_o comfort_n can_v it_o be_v to_o they_o to_o be_v bind_v up_o in_o a_o bundle_n of_o tare_n and_o to_o be_v cast_v into_o unquenchable_a fire_n but_o poor_a christian_a let_v this_o be_v thy_o comfort_n that_o death_n be_v the_o lot_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o he_o have_v consecrate_v a_o die_a state_n for_o we_o in_o his_o own_o body_n and_o that_o he_o pour_v forth_o his_o soul_n unto_o death_n that_o our_o soul_n may_v be_v bind_v up_o in_o the_o bundle_n of_o life_n the_o life_n of_o our_o soul_n lie_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ._n o_o my_o beloved_n take_v heed_n of_o slight_v a_o crucify_a christ._n they_o that_o be_v against_o christ_n either_o in_o their_o judgement_n or_o heart_n that_o dispute_n against_o he_o or_o live_v against_o he_o seem_v to_o hate_v their_o own_o soul_n and_o to_o be_v in_o love_n with_o damnation_n as_o it_o be_v in_o prov._n 8._o ult_n how_o can_v such_o ever_o look_v death_n in_o the_o face_n that_o hide_v their_o face_n from_o christ_n and_o esteem_v he_o not_o where_o will_v they_o find_v such_o another_o saviour_n in_o vain_a do_v you_o run_v from_o mountain_n to_o hill_n christ_n christ_n alone_o can_v secure_v you_o from_o the_o plague_n and_o hellish_a terror_n of_o death_n he_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o a_o holy_a life_n and_o happy_a death_n the_o ready_a way_n to_o learn_v this_o long_a art_n of_o die_v well_o be_v to_o study_v the_o death_n of_o christ._n now_o the_o intendment_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o mere_o to_o teach_v we_o to_o die_v patient_o but_o to_o enable_v we_o to_o die_v comfortable_o and_o if_o thou_o will_v depart_v this_o life_n in_o peace_n than_o first_o possess_v thy_o soul_n with_o a_o right_a apprehension_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ._n study_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n christ_n be_v once_o offer_v to_o bear_v the_o sin_n of_o many_o and_o to_o they_o that_o look_v for_o he_o shall_v he_o appear_v the_o second_o time_n without_o sin_n unto_o salvation_n in_o these_o word_n you_o have_v four_o thing_n touch_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n very_o considerable_a 1._o the_o death_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v

worthy_o for_o his_o own_o sin_n for_o blasphemy_n and_o treason_n no_o but_o it_o be_v our_o blasphemy_n and_o treason_n our_o sin_n against_o god_n and_o man_n that_o he_o die_v for_o isa._n 53._o
