our_o enemy_n that_o we_o may_v serve_v he_o without_o fear_n now_o then_o all_z we_o which_o believe_v be_v free_v from_o the_o slavery_n of_o sin_n kingdom_n of_o the_o devil_n gulf_n of_o hell_n and_o chain_n of_o death_n so_o that_o henceforth_o death_n be_v no_o death_n to_o god_n child_n through_o christ_n but_o great_a advantage_n and_o appoint_v for_o a_o passage_n to_o a_o better_a

the_o godly_a sigh_n and_o sorrow_n to_o be_v loose_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n be_v subject_a to_o sin_n and_o here_o let_v we_o note_v that_o whereas_o death_n be_v a_o dissolution_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n that_o therefore_o the_o body_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o prison_n in_o which_o our_o soul_n be_v bind_v and_o he_o that_o desire_v to_o live_v be_v like_o a_o

must_v consider_v of_o death_n not_o as_o it_o seem_v in_o itself_o but_o as_o it_o be_v christ_n natural_o we_o covet_v to_o be_v and_o consequent_o we_o shun_v death_n which_o deprive_v we_o of_o our_o be_v death_n be_v horrible_a to_o the_o best_a for_o a_o while_n because_o it_o be_v repugnant_a to_o their_o nature_n but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n we_o see_v how_o we_o be_v hold_v as_o in_o

when_o we_o draw_v towards_o death_n then_o come_v we_o nigh_o unto_o it_o and_o death_n be_v the_o very_a gate_n of_o life_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o for_o much_o as_o jesus_n christ_n have_v

we_o of_o all_o our_o disease_n since_o therefore_o we_o have_v learn_v what_o death_n be_v in_o itself_o and_o what_o in_o christ_n and_o know_v the_o worst_a since_o death_n be_v advantage_n to_o
