have_v no_o reason_n to_o think_v this_o any_o great_a hurt_n nay_o indeed_o if_o we_o consider_v thing_n aright_o the_o divine_a goodness_n have_v improve_v the_o fall_n of_o adam_n to_o the_o raise_n of_o mankind_n to_o a_o more_o happy_a and_o perfect_a state_n for_o though_o paradise_n where_o god_n place_v adam_n in_o innocence_n be_v a_o happy_a state_n of_o life_n than_o this_o world_n free_v from_o all_o the_o disorder_n of_o a_o mortal_a body_n and_o from_o all_o the_o necessary_a care_n and_o trouble_n of_o this_o life_n yet_o you_o will_v all_o grant_v that_o heaven_n be_v a_o happy_a place_n than_o a_o earthly_a paradise_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v more_o for_o our_o happiness_n to_o be_v translate_v from_o earth_n to_o heaven_n than_o to_o have_v live_v always_o in_o a_o earthly_a paradise_n you_o will_v all_o grant_v that_o the_o state_n of_o good_a man_n when_o they_o go_v out_o of_o these_o body_n before_o the_o resurrection_n be_v a_o happy_a life_n than_o paradise_n be_v for_o it_o be_v to_o be_v with_o christ_n as_o st._n paul_n tell_v we_o which_o be_v far_o better_a 1._o phil._n 23._o and_o when_o our_o body_n rise_v again_o from_o the_o dead_a you_o will_v grant_v they_o will_v be_v more_o glorious_a body_n than_o adam_n be_v in_o innocence_n for_o the_o first_o man_n be_v of_o the_o earth_n earthy_a but_o the_o second_o man_n be_v the_o lord_n from_o heaven_n 1_o cor._n 15._o 47._o adam_n have_v a_o earthly_a mortal_a body_n though_o it_o shall_v have_v be_v immortal_a by_o grace_n but_o at_o the_o resurrection_n our_o body_n shall_v be_v fashion_v like_o unto_o christ_n most_o glorious_a body_n the_o righteous_a shall_v shine_v forth_o like_o the_o sun_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o father_n that_o as_o we_o have_v bear_v the_o image_n of_o the_o earthy_a we_o shall_v also_o bear_v the_o image_n of_o the_o heavenly_a 1_o cor._n 15_o 49._o so_o that_o our_o redemption_n by_o christ_n have_v infinite_o the_o advantage_n of_o adam_n fall_n and_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o complain_v that_o by_o man_n come_v death_n since_o by_o man_n also_o come_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a that_o st._n paul_n may_v well_o magnify_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o our_o redemption_n by_o christ_n above_o his_o justice_n and_o severity_n in_o punsh_v adam_n sin_n with_o death_n 5._o rom._n 15_o 16_o 17._o but_o not_o as_o the_o offence_n so_o also_o be_v the_o free_a gift_n for_o if_o through_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o many_o be_v dead_a much_o more_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o the_o gift_n by_o grace_n which_o be_v by_o one_o man_n jesus_n christ_n have_v abound_v unto_o many_o and_o not_o as_o it_o be_v by_o one_o that_o sin_v so_o be_v the_o gift_n for_o the_o judgement_n be_v by_o one_o to_o condemnation_n but_o the_o free_a gift_n be_v of_o many_o offence_n unto_o justification_n for_o if_o by_o one_o man_n offence_n death_n reign_v by_o one_o much_o more_o they_o which_o receive_v abundance_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o the_o gift_n of_o righteousness_n shall_v reign_v in_o life_n by_o one_o jesus_n christ._n where_o the_o apostle_n magnify_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n upon_o a_o fourfold_a account_n 1._o that_o death_n be_v the_o just_a reward_n of_o sin_n it_o come_v by_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o and_o be_v a_o act_n of_o justice_n in_o god_n whereas_o our_o redemption_n by_o christ_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o grace_n the_o free_a gift_n which_o we_o have_v no_o just_a claim_n to_o 2._o that_o by_o christ_n we_o be_v not_o only_o deliver_v from_o the_o effect_n of_o adam_n sin_n but_o from_o the_o guilt_n of_o our_o own_o for_o though_o the_o judgement_n be_v by_o one_o to_o condemnation_n the_o free_a gift_n be_v of_o many_o offence_n unto_o justification_n 3._o that_o though_o we_o die_v in_o adam_n we_o be_v not_o bare_o make_v alive_a again_o in_o christ_n but_o shall_v reign_v in_o life_n by_o one_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v a_o much_o happy_a life_n than_o what_o we_o lose_v in_o adam_n 4._o that_o as_o we_o die_v by_o one_o man_n offence_n so_o we_o live_v by_o one_o too_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o one_o the_o free_a gift_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n unto_o justification_n of_o life_n we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o complain_v that_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n be_v impute_v to_o we_o to_o death_n if_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n purchase_n for_o we_o eternal_a life_n the_o first_o be_v a_o necessary_a consequence_n of_o adam_n lose_v paradise_n the_o second_o be_v whole_o owe_v to_o the_o grace_n of_o god._n thus_o we_o see_v what_o it_o be_v that_o make_v we_o mortal_a god_n do_v not_o make_v death_n he_o create_v we_o in_o a_o happy_a and_o immortal_a state_n but_o by_o man_n sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n and_o death_n by_o sin_n what_o ever_o aversion_n than_o we_o have_v to_o death_n shall_v beget_v in_o we_o a_o great_a horror_n of_o sin_n which_o do_v not_o only_o at_o first_o make_v we_o mortal_a but_o be_v to_o this_o day_n both_o the_o cause_n of_o death_n and_o the_o sting_n of_o it_o no_o degree_n indeed_o of_o virtue_n now_o can_v preserve_v we_o from_o die_v but_o yet_o virtue_n may_v prolong_v our_o life_n and_o make_v they_o happy_a while_o sin_n very_o often_o hasten_v we_o to_o the_o grave_a and_o cut_v we_o off_o in_o the_o very_a midst_n of_o our_o day_n a_o intemperate_a and_o lustful_a man_n destroy_v the_o most_o vigorous_a constitution_n of_o body_n die_v of_o a_o fever_n or_o a_o dropsy_n of_o rottenness_n and_o consumption_n other_o fall_v a_o sacrifice_n to_o private_a revenge_n or_o public_a justice_n or_o a_o divine_a vengeance_n for_o the_o wicked_a shall_v not_o live_v out_o half_a their_o day_n however_o set_v aside_o some_o little_a natural_a aversion_n which_o be_v more_o easy_o conquer_v and_o death_n be_v a_o very_a innocent_a harmless_a nay_o desirable_a thing_n do_v not_o sin_n give_v a_o sting_n to_o it_o and_o terrify_v we_o with_o the_o thought_n of_o that_o judgement_n which_o be_v to_o follow_v quarrel_v not_o then_o at_o the_o divine_a justice_n in_o appoint_v death_n god_n be_v very_o good_a as_o well_o as_o just_a in_o it_o but_o vent_v all_o your_o indignation_n against_o sin_n pull_v out_o this_o sting_n of_o death_n and_o then_o you_o will_v see_v nothing_o but_o smile_n and_o charm_n in_o it_o than_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o put_v off_o these_o mortal_a body_n to_o reassume_v they_o again_o with_o all_o the_o advantage_n of_o a_o immortal_a youth_n it_o be_v certain_a indeed_o we_o must_v die_v this_o be_v appoint_v for_o we_o and_o the_o very_a certainty_n of_o our_o death_n will_v teach_v we_o that_o wisdom_n which_o may_v help_v we_o to_o regain_v a_o better_a immortality_n than_o we_o have_v lose_v sect_n ii_o how_o to_o improve_v this_o consideration_n that_o we_o must_v certain_o die._n for_o 1._o if_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o must_v die_v this_o shall_v teach_v we_o frequent_o to_o think_v of_o death_n to_o keep_v it_o always_o in_o our_o eye_n and_o view_v for_o why_o shall_v we_o cast_v off_o the_o thought_n of_o that_o which_o will_v certain_o come_v especial_o when_o it_o be_v so_o necessary_a to_o the_o good_a government_n of_o our_o life_n to_o remember_v that_o we_o must_v die_v if_o we_o must_v die_v i_o think_v it_o concern_v we_o to_o take_v care_n that_o we_o may_v die_v happy_o and_o that_o depend_v upon_o our_o live_n well_o and_o nothing_o have_v such_o a_o powerful_a influence_n upon_o the_o good_a government_n of_o our_o life_n as_o the_o thought_n of_o death_n i_o have_v already_o show_v you_o what_o wisdom_n death_n will_v teach_v we_o but_o no_o man_n will_v learn_v this_o who_o do_v not_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v to_o die_v and_o no_o man_n will_v practice_v it_o who_o do_v not_o often_o remember_v that_o he_o must_v die_v but_o he_o that_o live_v under_o a_o constant_a sense_n of_o death_n have_v a_o perpetual_a antidote_n against_o the_o folly_n and_o vanity_n of_o this_o world_n and_o a_o perpetual_a spur_n to_o virtue_n when_o such_o a_o man_n find_v his_o desire_n after_o this_o world_n enlarge_v beyond_o not_o only_o the_o want_n but_o the_o conveniency_n of_o nature_n thou_o fool_n say_v he_o to_o himself_o what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o all_o this_o what_o kindle_v this_o insatiable_a thirst_n of_o riches_n why_o must_v there_o be_v no_o end_n of_o add_v house_n to_o house_n and_o field_n to_o field_n be_v this_o world_n thy_o home_n be_v this_o thy_o abide_a city_n
