and_o happy_a for_o ever_o have_v we_o be_v so_o much_o trouble_v because_o the_o body_n do_v fall_v at_o the_o part_a stroke_n of_o death_n methinks_v my_o trouble_n be_v allay_v when_o i_o be_o

look_v upon_o a_o consume_a body_n what_o wrong_a have_v i_o do_v myself_o in_o hasten_v to_o this_o part_n no_o more_o and_o come_v to_o it_o no_o soon_o why_o have_v we_o be_v look_v so_o long_o in_o the_o grave_a in_o which_o as_o such_o we_o can_v see_v nothing_o but_o death_n and_o cry_v out_o as_o the_o man_n to_o elisha_n concern_v their_o deadly_a pottage_n o_o thou_o man_n of_o god_n there_o be_v death_n in_o the_o pot_n 2_o king_n 4.40_o so_o we_o there_o be_v death_n in_o the_o grave_a but_o when_o elisha_n say_v then_o bring_v meal_n and_o he_o cast_v it_o into_o the_o pot_n and_o he_o say_v pour_v out_o for_o the_o people_n that_o they_o may_v eat_v and_o there_o be_v no_o harm_n in_o the_o pot._n so_o we_o shall_v have_v look_v upon_o the_o grave_a as_o a_o place_n where_o christ_n before_o have_v be_v lay_v and_o as_o a_o bed_n for_o the_o body_n of_o believer_n to_o sleep_v in_o till_o the_o lord_n shall_v come_v and_o we_o shall_v have_v see_v no_o such_o great_a harm_n in_o the_o grave_a to_o fill_v we_o with_o excessive_a sorrow_n concern_v this_o representation_n of_o death_n by_o sleep_v four_o thing_n may_v be_v premise_v as_o to_o this_o manner_n of_o scripture_n expression_n 1._o though_o beast_n do_v die_v yet_o their_o death_n in_o scripture_n that_o i_o know_v of_o be_v never_o call_v a_o sleep_n for_o they_o die_v to_o live_v no_o more_o death_n put_v a_o end_n to_o their_o life_n without_o a_o resurrection_n to_o it_o any_o more_o they_o be_v only_o in_o this_o world_n and_o not_o to_o have_v life_n in_o that_o world_n that_o man_n be_v hasten_v too_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a here_o of_o moral_a government_n of_o sin_n or_o grace_n and_o so_o shall_v not_o be_v raise_v to_o undergo_v eternal_a punishment_n or_o to_o receive_v eternal_a reward_n hereafter_o though_o they_o do_v sleep_v while_o they_o live_v yet_o their_o death_n be_v not_o a_o sleep_n because_o they_o shall_v die_v but_o never_o wake_v 2._o the_o death_n of_o ungodly_a man_n be_v sometime_o in_o scripture_n call_v a_o sleep_n though_o more_o seldom_o the_o worst_a as_o well_o as_o the_o best_a all_o mankind_n in_o general_n shall_v be_v raise_v at_o the_o last_o day_n as_o death_n be_v common_a to_o all_o so_o shall_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a also_o be_v though_o as_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n in_o their_o death_n so_o shall_v there_o also_o be_v in_o their_o resurrection_n but_o because_o they_o shall_v awake_v therefore_o to_o they_o death_n also_o be_v a_o sleep_n though_o they_o have_v better_a to_o sleep_v on_o than_o to_o awake_v and_o rise_v to_o be_v torment_v dan._n 12.2_o and_o many_o of_o they_o that_o sleep_n in_o the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v awake_v some_o to_o â—verlasting_a life_n and_o some_o to_o shame_n and_o everlasting_a contempt_n express_v by_o christ_n in_o these_o word_n john_n 5.28_o all_o that_o be_v in_o their_o grave_n shall_v hear_v his_o voice_n 29._o and_o shall_v come_v forth_o they_o that_o have_v do_v good_a unto_o the_o resurrection_n of_o life_n and_o they_o that_o have_v do_v evil_a to_o the_o resurrection_n of_o damnation_n 3._o it_o be_v most_o frequent_o use_v concern_v the_o death_n of_o holy_a and_o believe_a person_n that_o they_o may_v familiarize_v it_o to_o themselves_o and_o get_v as_o great_a a_o willingness_n to_o die_v as_o to_o go_v to_o bed_n and_o sleep_v so_o god_n say_v to_o moses_n he_o shall_v sleep_v with_o his_o father_n deut._n 31.16_o so_o of_o david_n 2_o sam._n 7.12_o so_o mat._n 9.24_o when_o christ_n say_v our_o friend_n lazarus_n sleep_v the_o disciple_n think_v he_o speak_v of_o his_o take_n natural_a rest_n in_o sleep_n but_o after_o explain_v his_o meaning_n say_v he_o be_v dead_a john_n 11.11_o 12_o 13._o so_o
