difficult_a work_n death_n continual_o hasten_v towards_o we_o yet_o few_o consider_v how_o sudden_o themselves_o or_o other_o may_v diego_n death_n come_v violent_o to_o wicked_a man_n yet_o no_o man_n die_v before_o his_o time_n however_o in_o scripture_n some_o be_v say_v so_o to_o do_v a_o exhortation_n to_o prepare_v for_o death_n with_o motive_n to_o quicken_v christian_n thereunto_o and_o direction_n to_o help_v they_o therein_o have_v speak_v something_o of_o the_o life_n of_o man_n as_o it_o have_v relation_n unto_o the_o subject_a i_o be_o speak_v to_o which_o by_o reason_n of_o sin_n be_v become_v short_a frail_a and_o uncertain_a i_o shall_v now_o consider_v the_o state_n of_o man_n under_o death_n which_o be_v the_o end_n of_o his_o temporal_a but_o the_o beginning_n and_o entrance_n upon_o his_o everlasting_a state_n which_o that_o christian_n may_v with_o the_o more_o profit_n and_o advantage_n meditate_v upon_o i_o shall_v reduce_v all_o that_o i_o have_v to_o say_v of_o it_o unto_o three_o particular_n the_o state_n of_o man_n under_o death_n be_v a_o state_n that_o admit_v of_o no_o return_v unto_o life_n a_o state_n that_o admit_v of_o no_o amendment_n and_o a_o state_n that_o be_v fix_v and_o determine_v first_o the_o state_n of_o man_n under_o death_n be_v a_o state_n that_o admit_v of_o no_o return_v unto_o life_n again_o when_o once_o the_o sun_n of_o this_o life_n be_v set_v it_o will_v arise_v no_o more_o upon_o thou_o for_o ever_o be_v not_o my_o day_n few_o say_v job_n cease_v from_o i_o that_o i_o may_v take_v comfort_n a_o little_a before_o i_o go_v whence_o i_o shall_v not_o return_v and_o job_n 10.20_o when_o a_o few_o day_n be_v come_v say_v he_o i_o shall_v go_v whence_o i_o shall_v not_o return_v job_n 16.22_o that_o be_v a_o strange_a journey_n indeed_o that_o admit_v of_o no_o return_n that_o which_o please_v we_o while_o we_o live_v be_v the_o hope_n of_o return_v to_o our_o home_n again_o but_o when_o we_o die_v we_o take_v a_o journey_n whence_o there_o be_v no_o return_v for_o there_o be_v no_o recovery_n out_o of_o the_o grave_a when_o once_o we_o be_v dead_a indeed_o it_o be_v a_o fundamental_a article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n to_o believe_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a for_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o all_o man_n shall_v stand_v before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o christ_n to_o receive_v according_a to_o what_o they_o have_v do_v in_o the_o body_n now_o if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a how_o can_v this_o be_v therefore_o our_o lord_n tell_v we_o plain_o john_n 5.28_o that_o the_o hour_n be_v come_v when_o all_o that_o be_v in_o their_o grave_n shall_v hear_v his_o voice_n and_o shall_v come_v forth_o but_o this_o time_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v and_o till_o this_o time_n come_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n be_v irreversible_a upon_o all_o and_o though_o god_n have_v already_o stretch_v forth_o his_o hand_n to_o the_o grave_a for_o the_o raise_n of_o some_o person_n from_o the_o dead_a miraculous_o yet_o as_o those_o few_o that_o have_v escape_v death_n make_v no_o breach_n upon_o this_o general_a truth_n that_o all_o must_v die_v so_o it_o do_v not_o at_o all_o infringe_v this_o general_a truth_n that_o god_n will_v not_o now_o by_o the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o same_o miraculous_a power_n raise_v any_o from_o the_o grave_a because_o some_o have_v be_v raise_v and_o recover_v out_o of_o it_o second_o the_o state_n of_o man_n under_o death_n admit_v of_o no_o amendment_n or_o alteration_n life_n be_v the_o time_n of_o work_v in_o death_n we_o receive_v the_o reward_n of_o our_o work_n our_o lord_n tell_v we_o of_o himself_o i_o must_v work_v the_o work_n of_o he_o that_o send_v i_o while_o it_o be_v
