worldly_a thing_n it_o be_v a_o easy_a thing_n to_o be_v willing_a to_o die_v when_o our_o heart_n be_v cleanse_v of_o the_o love_n of_o this_o world_n we_o must_v leave_v the_o world_n before_o the_o

with_o our_o own_o business_n &_o to_o abridge_v they_o into_o as_o narrow_a a_o scantling_n as_o our_o calling_n will_v permit_v second_o we_o shall_v avoid_v as_o much_o as_o may_v be_v the_o

sin_n our_o sin_n must_v die_v before_o we_o die_v or_o else_o it_o will_v not_o be_v well_o with_o us._n the_o sting_n of_o death_n be_v sin_n and_o when_o we_o have_v pull_v out_o the_o sting_n we_o need_v not_o fear_v to_o entertain_v the_o serpent_n into_o our_o bosom_n it_o be_v the_o love_n of_o some_o sin_n &_o delight_n in_o it_o that_o make_v a_o man_n afraid_a to_o die_v or_o it_o be_v the_o remembrance_n of_o some_o foul_a evil_a past_a which_o accuse_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o man_n must_v make_v sure_a their_o repentance_n and_o judge_v themselves_o for_o their_o sin_n and_o then_o they_o need_v not_o fear_v god_n condemn_v of_o they_o if_o any_o ask_v i_o how_o they_o may_v know_v when_o they_o have_v attain_v to_o this_o rule_n i_o answer_v when_o they_o have_v so_o long_o confess_v their_o sin_n in_o secret_a to_o god_n that_o now_o they_o can_v true_o say_v there_o be_v no_o sin_n they_o know_v by_o themselves_o but_o they_o be_v as_o

that_o desire_v from_o his_o heart_n to_o live_v in_o no_o sin_n and_o unto_o this_o rule_n i_o must_v add_v the_o care_n of_o a_o upright_o &_o unrebukeable_a conversation_n it_o be_v a_o

of_o this_o point_n i_o will_v distinct_o handle_v three_o thing_n first_o i_o will_v prove_v that_o to_o live_v without_o fear_n of_o 1_o death_n be_v a_o thing_n may_v be_v obtain_v one_o may_v be_v deliver_v from_o it_o as_o certain_o as_o a_o sick_a man_n may_v be_v cure_v of_o a_o ordinary_a disease_n second_o i_o will_v show_v how_o uncomely_a a_o thing_n it_o 2_o be_v for_o a_o christian_n to_o be_v afraid_a of_o death_n that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v stir_v up_o the_o more_o to_o seek_v the_o cure_n for_o this_o disease_n three_o i_o will_v show_v by_o what_o mean_v we_o may_v be_v 3_o deliver_v from_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n if_o we_o use_v they_o of_o the_o two_o first_o more_o brief_o and_o of_o the_o last_o at_o large_a chap._n ii_o prove_v that_o we_o may_v be_v cure_v of_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n for_o the_o first_o that_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n may_v be_v remove_v and_o that_o we_o may_v death_n attain_v to_o that_o resolution_n to_o be_v willing_a to_o die_v without_o loathness_n be_v apparent_a diverse_a way_n first_o it_o be_v evident_a christ_n die_v to_o deliver_v we_o not_o only_o from_o the_o hurt_n of_o death_n and_o from_o the_o devil_n as_o the_o executioner_n but_o also_o from_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n too_o now_o christ_n may_v attain_v to_o the_o end_n of_o his_o death_n unless_o we_o will_v deny_v the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o death_n and_o think_v that_o notwithstanding_o it_o can_v be_v obtain_v heb._n 2._o 14_o 15._o and_o the_o more_o apparent_a be_v this_o because_o in_o that_o place_n he_o show_v that_o there_o be_v virtue_n in_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n to_o cure_v this_o fear_n of_o death_n in_o any_o of_o the_o elect_n if_o they_o will_v use_v the_o mean_n for_o as_o our_o sin_n will_v not_o be_v mortify_v though_o there_o be_v power_n in_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n to_o kill_v they_o unless_o we_o use_v the_o mean_n to_o extract_v this_o virtue_n out_o of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n so_o be_v it_o true_a that_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n may_v be_v in_o some_o of_o god_n elect_n but_o it_o be_v not_o because_o christ_n can_v deliver_v they_o but_o because_o they_o be_v sluggish_a and_o will_v not_o take_v the_o course_n to_o be_v rid_v of_o those_o fear_n the_o physician_n be_v able_a to_o cure_v they_o and_o usual_o do_v cure_v the_o same_o disease_n but_o they_o will_v not_o take_v his_o
