through_o hell_n to_o heaven_n but_o if_o i_o march_v only_o through_o death_n i_o suffer_v less_o than_o i_o will_v suffer_v for_o god_n my_o pain_n do_v not_o dismay_v i_o because_o i_o travel_v to_o bring_v forth_o life_n even_o eternal_a life_n my_o sin_n do_v not_o affright_v i_o because_o i_o have_v christ_n the_o captain_n of_o our_o salvation_n for_o my_o redeemer_n the_o judge_n do_v not_o astonish_v i_o because_o the_o son_n of_o the_o judge_n be_v my_o prevail_a advocate_n the_o devil_n do_v not_o amaze_v i_o because_o the_o holy_a angel_n do_v pitch_v their_o tent_n round_o about_o i_o the_o grave_n do_v not_o grieve_v i_o because_o it_o be_v my_o lord_n bed_n the_o prophet_n and_o the_o apostle_n be_v my_o forerunner_n every_o man_n be_v go_v before_o i_o or_o else_o he_o must_v come_v after_o i_o if_o it_o please_v the_o lord_n to_o receive_v i_o into_o his_o heavenly_a mansion_n before_o other_o which_o have_v serve_v he_o better_o the_o more_o humble_a thankfulness_n do_v i_o owe_v unto_o he_o and_o lest_o by_o put_v off_o my_o repentance_n till_o this_o hour_n i_o shall_v be_v cut_v off_o if_o i_o shall_v die_v sudden_o behold_v how_o my_o gracious_a god_n in_o his_o merciful_a providence_n to_o prevent_v my_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n do_v call_v i_o to_o himself_o by_o a_o linger_a sickness_n which_o stay_v i_o till_o i_o be_v ready_a and_o prepare_v i_o for_o my_o departure_n and_o make_v i_o by_o these_o wholesome_a pain_n weary_a of_o this_o too-much-beloved_n world_n lest_o i_o shall_v too_o unwilling_o part_v with_o it_o and_o so_o be_v like_o they_o who_o death_n be_v their_o damnation_n thus_o the_o lord_n love_v i_o while_o he_o smite_v i_o so_o that_o his_o stripe_n become_v plaster_n to_o i_o therefore_o who_o shall_v love_v he_o if_o i_o shall_v despise_v he_o who_o shall_v praise_v he_o if_o i_o shall_v dishonour_v he_o this_o be_v my_o whole_a duty_n now_o to_o strengthen_v my_o weak_a body_n with_o my_o believe_a heart_n to_o be_v content_v with_o whatsoever_o god_n have_v appoint_v for_o i_o until_o i_o can_v glorify_v he_o or_o he_o shall_v glorify_v i_o if_o i_o live_v i_o live_v to_o sacrifice_v if_o i_o die_v i_o shall_v then_o die_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o his_o mercy_n be_v above_o my_o iniquity_n and_o now_o if_o i_o shall_v fear_v death_n it_o will_v be_v a_o sign_n that_o i_o have_v neither_o faith_n nor_o hope_n as_o i_o have_v profess_v but_o that_o i_o doubt_v of_o god_n truth_n in_o his_o promise_n whether_o or_o no_o he_o will_v forgive_v his_o poor_a deject_a penitent_a but_o it_o be_v my_o father_n let_v he_o do_v with_o i_o whatsoever_o seem_v good_a in_o his_o sight_n then_o come_v lord_n jesus_n for_o thy_o servant_n come_v i_o be_o willing_a lord_n help_v my_o unwillingness_n i_o believe_v lord_n help_v my_o unbelief_n make_v i_o ready_a to_o receive_v thou_o then_o come_v then_o come_v lord_n jesus_n come_v quick_o iii_o against_o impatience_n in_o sickness_n let_v we_o consider_v 1._o that_o our_o sin_n have_v deserve_v far_o great_a pain_n than_o we_o do_v suffer_v even_o the_o pain_n of_o hell_n 2._o that_o god_n have_v in_o mercy_n determine_v the_o day_n of_o our_o deliverance_n the_o number_n of_o our_o tear_n shed_v for_o the_o dishonour_n of_o god_n be_v register_v in_o his_o book_n 3._o let_v we_o think_v on_o the_o bless_a apostle_n st._n stephen_n who_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o see_v christ_n forget_v his_o wound_n and_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o grave_n and_o sweet_o yield_v up_o his_o soul_n into_o the_o arm_n of_o his_o bless_a saviour_n so_o let_v we_o do_v let_v we_o forget_v our_o pain_n and_o meditate_v on_o the_o wound_n of_o christ_n jesus_n let_v we_o be_v faithful_a to_o the_o death_n and_o so_o receive_v a_o crown_n of_o life_n 4._o as_o we_o have_v always_o pray_v our_o father_n thy_o will_n be_v do_v so_o now_o let_v we_o yield_v willing_o to_o whatsoever_o his_o holy_a will_n be_v else_o we_o dissemble_v with_o god_n and_o deceive_v our_o own_o soul_n 5._o remember_v that_o the_o rod_n be_v it_o of_o sickness_n or_o any_o other_o affliction_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o merciful_a father_n 6._o believe_v that_o all_o thing_n though_o seem_o most_v sharp_o shall_v work_v together_o for_o the_o best_a if_o we_o love_v and_o fear_v he_o and_o that_o nothing_o neither_o life_n nor_o death_n nor_o any_o creature_n shall_v ever_o be_v able_a to_o separate_v between_o we_o and_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n 7._o that_o god_n do_v use_v this_o chastisement_n of_o the_o body_n but_o as_o a_o medicine_n for_o the_o cure_n of_o our_o sinsick_a soul_n by_o draw_v we_o to_o our_o great_a physician_n by_o true_a repentance_n godly_a patience_n and_o holy_a believe_v 8._o the_o great_a pain_n that_o we_o can_v feel_v in_o our_o great_a extremity_n be_v not_o to_o be_v compare_v with_o those_o grievous_a dolour_n which_o our_o bless_a saviour_n do_v undergo_v for_o we_o how_o then_o can_v we_o be_v impatient_a at_o any_o smart_n that_o he_o shall_v lay_v upon_o we_o 9_o nothing_o in_o this_o our_o suffering_n do_v befall_v we_o but_o what_o the_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n have_v feel_v and_o most_o patient_o undergo_v before_o we_o and_o be_v now_o in_o possession_n of_o everlasting_a joy_n in_o the_o high_a heaven_n 10._o god_n have_v not_o give_v we_o over_o to_o implacable_a enemy_n but_o as_o a_o love_a and_o tender-hearted_a father_n do_v please_v to_o keep_v we_o in_o his_o own_o most_o gracious_a hand_n lay_v upon_o we_o no_o more_o than_o what_o he_o shall_v see_v and_o know_v to_o be_v most_o needful_a and_o profitable_a for_o we_o 11._o last_o consider_v and_o consider_v it_o with_o comfort_n how_o death_n if_o it_o shall_v follow_v sickness_n will_v deliver_v we_o from_o a_o weak_a frail_a corruptible_a body_n which_o be_v but_o a_o live_a prison_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o a_o lively_a instrument_n of_o sin_n and_o how_o death_n do_v set_v we_o free_a to_o enjoy_v the_o liberty_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o glory_n to_o conclude_v if_o we_o love_v holiness_n when_o it_o be_v compass_v about_o with_o many_o suffering_n and_o persecution_n god_n will_v take_v notice_n of_o our_o patience_n and_o other_o our_o grace_n though_o compass_v about_o with_o many_o infirmity_n the_o lord_n will_v take_v notice_n of_o a_o little_a of_o his_o good_a in_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o our_o evil_n let_v we_o then_o look_v unto_o and_o long_o for_o christ_n as_o our_o saviour_n as_o our_o advocate_n as_o our_o head_n as_o our_o surety_n as_o our_o great_a physician_n and_o as_o the_o bishop_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o let_v we_o run_v with_o patience_n the_o race_n that_o be_v set_v before_o we_o and_o be_v in_o likelihood_n near_o the_o end_n of_o the_o race_n iu_o consolation_n in_o the_o lord_n christ_n etc._n etc._n he_o that_o have_v once_o see_v god_n in_o the_o face_n of_o jesus_n christ_n dare_v undoubted_o look_v the_o grim_a creature_n in_o the_o face_n even_o death_n itself_o under_o any_o shape_n all_o kind_n of_o fear_n do_v flee_v before_o such_o a_o soul_n it_o be_v only_o a_o christian_n that_o be_v fear-free_a the_o sting_n of_o death_n be_v sin_n and_o the_o strength_n of_o sin_n be_v the_o law_n but_o thanks_o be_v to_o god_n that_o give_v we_o the_o victory_n through_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o though_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n yet_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v eternal_a life_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o i_o say_v thanks_o be_v to_o god_n who_o always_o cause_v we_o to_o triumph_v in_o christ_n we_o see_v jesus_n who_o be_v make_v a_o little_a low_o than_o the_o angel_n for_o suffer_v of_o death_n crown_v with_o glory_n and_o honour_n that_o he_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n shall_v taste_v death_n for_o every_o man_n for_o it_o become_v he_o for_o who_o be_v all_o thing_n and_o by_o who_o be_v all_o thing_n in_o bring_v of_o many_o son_n to_o glory_n to_o make_v the_o captain_n of_o their_o salvation_n perfect_a through_o suffer_v we_o see_v jesus_n who_o himself_o also_o take_v part_n of_o the_o same_o flesh_n and_o
