body_n safe_a till_o the_o great_a resurrection_n and_o he_o have_v also_o make_v it_o a_o beat_a and_o plain_a way_n to_o heaven_n christ_n jesus_n himself_o go_v to_o heaven_n through_o the_o

man_n the_o grave_n be_v a_o thoroughfare_n to_o hell_n but_o to_o a_o man_n asleep_a in_o jesus_n it_o be_v a_o passage_n to_o heaven_n where_o christ_n be_v and_o if_o st._n austin_n be_v willing_a to_o go_v even_o through_o hell_n to_o christ_n in_o heaven_n much_o more_o may_v we_o be_v willing_a to_o go_v through_o the_o grave_n to_o he_o 3._o they_o that_o sleep_n in_o jesus_n have_v this_o benefit_n also_o that_o by_o their_o union_n with_o christ_n and_o by_o the_o watchful_a providence_n of_o god_n there_o be_v a_o substance_n preserve_v so_o as_o they_o be_v not_o utter_o extinct_a and_o annihilate_v by_o death_n but_o something_o of_o their_o body_n remain_v undestroy_v there_o be_v nothing_o utter_o total_o and_o final_o destroy_v in_o a_o child_n of_o god_n by_o death_n but_o sin_n and_o misery_n the_o rot_v of_o the_o body_n in_o the_o grave_n be_v but_o as_o the_o rot_a of_o the_o corn_n in_o the_o earth_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 1_o cor._n 15.36_o the_o seed_n be_v cast_v into_o the_o earth_n and_o there_o it_o die_v and_o rot_v but_o be_v not_o utter_o extinct_a but_o rot_v in_o the_o ground_n that_o it_o may_v be_v quicken_v again_o so_o the_o body_n of_o the_o saint_n rot_v in_o their_o grave_n that_o they_o may_v be_v raise_v again_o and_o make_v like_a unto_o the_o glorious_a body_n of_o jesus_n christ._n and_o this_o be_v another_o reason_n why_o the_o death_n of_o a_o child_n of_o god_n be_v call_v a_o sleep_n because_o as_o a_o man_n asleep_o be_v not_o extinct_a no_o more_o be_v he_o in_o the_o grave_n there_o be_v a_o substance_n preserve_v and_o as_o david_n say_v of_o a_o afflict_a righteous_a man_n 34.20_o that_o god_n keep_v all_o his_o bone_n not_o one_o of_o they_o be_v break_v so_o god_n keep_v the_o dust_n and_o ash_n of_o his_o child_n so_o as_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v utter_o and_o total_o consume_v object_n but_o be_v there_o not_o a_o substance_n preserve_v also_o in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o wicked_a answ._n it_o be_v true_a their_o body_n be_v not_o utter_o destroy_v but_o remain_v not_o by_o virtue_n of_o their_o union_n with_o christ_n but_o preserve_v by_o the_o almighty_a power_n of_o god_n as_o a_o terrible_a lord_n and_o severe_a judge_n and_o remain_v as_o in_o a_o prison_n till_o the_o great_a day_n of_o judgement_n in_o which_o they_o shall_v appear_v before_o christ_n and_o then_o be_v condemn_v to_o hell_n happy_a be_v it_o for_o a_o wicked_a man_n if_o his_o body_n be_v annihilate_v by_o death_n as_o it_o be_v happy_a for_o a_o traitor_n if_o he_o die_v in_o prison_n and_o escape_v hang_v but_o herein_o consist_v the_o difference_n between_o he_o and_o a_o man_n asleep_a in_o jesus_n a_o man_n out_o of_o christ_n be_v not_o proper_o preserve_v in_o the_o grave_n but_o rather_o reserve_v by_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v afterward_o torment_v in_o hell_n but_o a_o man_n in_o christ_n be_v not_o only_o reserve_v but_o by_o virtue_n of_o his_o union_n with_o christ_n and_o preserve_v to_o enjoy_v eternal_a glory_n with_o their_o soul_n at_o the_o great_a day_n of_o judgement_n 4._o he_o that_o sleep_v in_o jesus_n have_v this_o benefit_n also_o that_o

that_o be_v asleep_a in_o jesus_n be_v that_o christ_n himself_o can_v be_v perfect_a till_o it_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a as_o a_o natural_a body_n can_v be_v perfect_a without_o all_o its_o

3._o that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v raise_v the_o dead_a body_n of_o those_o that_o sleep_n in_o he_o and_o raise_v they_o as_o their_o head_n and_o saviour_n and_o bring_v they_o with_o he_o to_o

that_o sleep_n in_o he_o with_o himself_o into_o heaven_n where_o they_o shall_v be_v ever_o with_o the_o lord_n in_o perfect_a happiness_n so_o much_o for_o the_o explication_n of_o the_o three_o doctrine_n use_v 1_o let_v we_o not_o mourn_v immoderate_o for_o the_o death_n of_o our_o godly_a friend_n and_o relation_n this_o be_v the_o use_n which_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v we_o to_o make_v 4.13_o mourn_v we_o may_v but_o not_o as_o the_o heathen_a who_o have_v no_o hope_n let_v we_o remember_v that_o the_o death_n of_o a_o child_n of_o god_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o comfortable_a and_o bless_a sleep_n that_o he_o go_v to_o the_o grave_a as_o to_o his_o bed_n and_o there_o lie_v free_a as_o a_o man_n asleep_a from_o all_o care_n and_o trouble_n and_o at_o rest_n from_o all_o his_o labour_n that_o even_o while_o he_o be_v in_o the_o grave_a he_o be_v asleep_a in_o jesus_n and_o there_o continue_v a_o member_n of_o his_o body_n that_o his_o very_a dust_n be_v precious_a in_o god_n sight_n and_o part_n of_o god_n election_n christ_n redemption_n and_o the_o spirit_n sanctification_n that_o by_o virtue_n of_o its_o union_n with_o christ_n his_o body_n while_n in_o the_o grave_a be_v not_o utter_o extinct_a but_o there_o be_v a_o substance_n not_o only_o reserve_v but_o preserve_v to_o be_v raise_v to_o everlasting_a glory_n that_o christ_n have_v so_o perfume_v the_o grave_a as_o that_o it_o be_v nothing_o else_o to_o he_o but_o as_o a_o tiring-house_n and_o withdrawing-room_n in_o a_o word_n that_o he_o lie_v down_o in_o his_o bed_n till_o the_o morning_n of_o the_o resurrection_n and_o then_o he_o shall_v put_v on_o stolam_fw-la immortalitatis_fw-la the_o garment_n of_o immortality_n and_o his_o vile_a body_n shall_v be_v make_v like_o unto_o the_o glorious_a body_n of_o jesus_n christ._n let_v we_o comfort_v one_o another_o with_o these_o word_n let_v we_o not_o weep_v immeasurable_o for_o those_o from_o who_o all_o tear_n be_v wipe_v away_o but_o let_v we_o consider_v their_o unspeakable_a g●in_n death_n have_v put_v a_o end_n to_o all_o their_o temporal_a and_o spiritual_a evil_n and_o open_v a_o door_n for_o they_o to_o everlasting_a happiness_n use_v 2._o let_v these_o doctrine_n serve_v as_o a_o precious_a antidote_n to_o all_o the_o people_n of_o god_n against_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n and_o of_o the_o grave_a why_o shall_v we_o fear_v that_o which_o if_o it_o shall_v not_o happen_v we_o shall_v be_v superlative_o miserable_a as_o the_o apostle_n say_v if_o we_o have_v hope_v only_o in_o this_o life_n we_o be_v of_o all_o people_n most_o miserable_a and_o therefore_o when_o there_o be_v a_o rumour_n spread_v concern_v st._n john_n 15.17_o that_o he_o shall_v never_o die_v he_o himself_o ch._n 21.23_o rectify_v the_o mistake_n yet_o jesus_n say_v not_o unto_o he_o he_o shall_v not_o die_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v god_n forbid_v i_o shall_v be_v so_o miserable_a as_o never_o to_o die_v though_o a_o man_n in_o christ_n can_v live_v for_o ever_o in_o this_o world_n and_o be_v always_o young_a rich_a and_o healthful_a yet_o he_o will_v account_v himself_o most_o miserable_a because_o while_o he_o be_v here_o he_o be_v absent_a from_o christ_n who_o be_v his_o life_n and_o from_o god_n who_o be_v his_o happiness_n and_o full_a of_o sin_n which_o be_v his_o great_a burden_n and_o therefore_o as_o jacob_n rejoice_v when_o he_o see_v the_o chariot_n which_o shall_v carry_v he_o to_o his_o son_n joseph_n so_o shall_v the_o people_n of_o god_n rejoice_v when_o death_n approach_v
