both_o in_o soul_n and_o body_n saint_n in_o christ_n ought_v to_o improve_v the_o joy_n and_o consolation_n which_o come_v from_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n to_o their_o soul_n among_o which_o i_o be_o sure_a this_o truth_n be_v very_o eminent_a and_o therefore_o aught_o to_o be_v well_o improve_v and_o first_o this_o call_v upon_o believe_a saint_n to_o who_o through_o christ_n death_n when_o ever_o it_o come_v will_v be_v without_o the_o sting_n of_o sin_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o have_v sad_a or_o hard_a thought_n of_o death_n we_o shall_v not_o make_v fear_n in_o our_o flesh_n or_o spirit_n to_o be_v the_o associate_n of_o the_o thought_n of_o death_n there_o be_v no_o cause_n for_o it_o the_o sting_n be_v take_v away_o by_o this_o needless_a and_o unbelieved_a fear_n of_o death_n in_o saint_n we_o do_v prejudice_v ourselves_o and_o bring_v a_o evil_a report_n upon_o our_o friend_n first_o we_o prejudice_v ourselves_o for_o through_o a_o fearful_a fancy_n of_o evil_n and_o danger_n in_o death_n we_o many_o time_n do_v what_o we_o shall_v not_o and_o leave_v that_o undo_v which_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v how_o many_o stretch_v their_o conscience_n to_o do_v that_o which_o they_o have_v no_o rule_n for_o and_o otherwise_o will_v not_o do_v but_o that_o they_o fear_v it_o may_v cost_v they_o their_o life_n if_o they_o shall_v not_o and_o how_o much_o duty_n be_v neglect_v upon_o this_o very_a consideration_n upon_o a_o fear_n in_o do_v to_o lose_v or_o endanger_v life_n the_o fear_n indeed_o be_v to_o meet_v with_o death_n in_o do_v therefore_o choose_v rather_o to_o omit_v duty_n but_o it_o be_v safe_a and_o bless_a through_o christ_n to_o meet_v death_n in_o duty_n sad_a and_o hard_a thought_n of_o death_n i_o very_o believe_v do_v much_o prejudice_n saint_n in_o their_o straight_a and_o even_o walk_v with_o god_n through_o this_o wilderness_n it_o be_v happy_a if_o in_o read_v we_o can_v read_v our_o own_o heart_n but_o second_o these_o fleshly_a fear_n of_o saint_n bring_v a_o evil_a report_n upon_o death_n which_o through_o christ_n be_v our_o real_a friend_n it_o be_v very_o imbecom_v saint_n to_o scandalize_v any_o out_o that_o we_o shall_v do_v this_o to_o death_n who_o be_v so_o real_a a_o friend_n to_o we_o and_o the_o messenger_n of_o such_o glad_a tiding_n as_o what_o have_v go_v before_o prove_v he_o to_o be_v this_o be_v very_o disingenuous_a if_o saint_n look_v upon_o he_o with_o a_o fearful_a eye_n he_o will_v then_o be_v take_v for_o a_o enemy_n to_o all_o the_o world_n for_o to_o other_o he_o come_v with_o his_o sting_n so_o as_o they_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o fear_n but_o to_o saint_n death_n be_v a_o reconcile_a friend_n in_o christ_n and_o we_o do_v he_o injury_n when_o ever_o we_o look_v upon_o he_o as_o other_o nay_o true_o we_o dishonour_v christ_n to_o fear_v death_n after_o he_o have_v conquer_v he_o the_o redemption_n of_o christ_n for_o his_o people_n be_v so_o full_a that_o they_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o serve_v he_o without_o fear_n the_o victory_n over_o death_n be_v part_n of_o the_o redemption_n of_o christ_n so_o that_o
