church_n of_o the_o jew_n the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v among_o you_o now_o this_o first_o degree_n of_o life_n be_v when_o a_o man_n can_v say_v with_o paul_n i_o live_v not_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o that_o be_v i_o find_v partly_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o my_o sanctify_a conscience_n and_o partly_o by_o experirience_n that_o christ_n my_o redeemer_n by_o his_o spirit_n guide_v and_o govern_v my_o thought_n will_n affection_n and_o all_o the_o power_n of_o body_n &_o soul_n according_a to_o the_o bless_a direction_n of_o his_o holy_a will_n now_o that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a true_o to_o say_v this_o we_o must_v have_v three_o gift_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n wherein_o especial_o this_o first_o degree_n of_o life_n consist_v the_o first_o be_v save_v knowledge_n whereby_o we_o do_v true_o resolve_v ourselves_o that_o god_n the_o father_n of_o christ_n be_v our_o father_n christ_n his_o son_n our_o redeemer_n &_o the_o holy_a ghost_n our_o comforter_n that_o this_o knowledge_n be_v one_o part_n of_o life_n eternal_a 17._o it_o appear_v by_o the_o say_n of_o christ_n in_o john_n this_o be_v life_n eternal_a that_o be_v the_o beginning_n and_o entrance_n to_o life_n eternal_a to_o know_v thou_o the_o only_a god_n and_o who_o thou_o have_v send_v jesus_n christ._n 2._o the_o second_o grace_n be_v peace_n of_o conscience_n which_o pass_v all_o understanding_n and_o therefore_o paul_n say_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v righteousness_n peace_n of_o conscience_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 4._o the_o horror_n of_o a_o guilty_a conscience_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o death_n &_o destruction_n therefore_o peace_n of_o conscience_n derive_v from_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v life_n and_o happiness_n the_o three_o be_v the_o regiment_n of_o the_o spirit_n whereby_o the_o heart_n and_o life_n of_o man_n be_v order_v according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o paul_n say_v that_o they_o that_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ._n 8.14_o now_o see_v this_o be_v so_o that_o if_o we_o will_v live_v eternal_o we_o must_v begin_v to_o live_v that_o bless_a and_o eternal_a life_n before_o we_o die_v here_o we_o must_v be_v careful_a to_o reform_v two_o common_a error_n the_o first_o be_v that_o a_o man_n enter_v into_o eternal_a life_n when_o he_o die_v and_o not_o before_o which_o be_v a_o flat_a untruth_n our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v to_o zacheus_n this_o day_n be_v salvation_n come_v to_o thy_o house_n give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o a_o man_n they_o begin_v to_o be_v save_v when_o god_n do_v effectual_o call_v he_o by_o the_o ministry_n of_o his_o gospel_n whosoever_o then_o will_v be_v save_v when_o he_o be_v die_v &_o dead_a must_v begin_v to_o be_v save_v while_o he_o be_v now_o live_v his_o salvation_n must_v begin_v in_o this_o life_n that_o will_v come_v to_o salvation_n after_o this_o life_n very_o 5.24_o very_o say_v christ_n he_o that_o hear_v my_o word_n and_o believe_v in_o he_o that_o send_v i_o have_v eternal_a life_n namely_o in_o this_o present_a life_n the_o second_o error_n be_v that_o howsoever_o a_o man_n live_v if_o when_o he_o be_v die_v he_o can_v lift_v up_o his_o his_o eye_n &_o say_v lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o he_o be_v certain_o save_v behold_v a_o very_a fond_a &_o foolish_a conceit_n that_o deceive_v many_o a_o man_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o a_o arrant_a thief_n shall_v thus_o reason_v with_o himself_o and_o say_v i_o will_v spend_v my_o day_n in_o rob_v and_o steal_v i_o fear_v neither_o arraignment_n nor_o execution_n for_o at_o the_o very_a time_n when_o i_o be_o to_o be_v turn_v off_o from_o the_o ladder_n if_o i_o do_v but_o call_v upon_o the_o judge_n i_o know_v i_o shall_v have_v my_o pardon_n behold_v a_o most_o dangerous_a and_o desperate_a course_n and_o the_o very_a ●ame_n be_v the_o practice_n of_o careless_a man_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o their_o salvation_n for_o a_o man_n may_v die_v with_o lord_n have_v mercy_n in_o his_o mouth_n &_o perish_v eternal_o except_o in_o this_o world_n he_o enter_v into_o the_o first_o degree_n of_o eternal_a life_n for_o not_o every_o one_o that_o say_v lord_n 7.21_o lord_n shall_v enter_v into_o heaven_n but_o he_o that_o do_v the_o will_n of_o the_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n the_o four_o duty_n be_v to_o exercise_v and_o inure_v ourselves_o in_o die_v by_o little_a and_o little_a so_o long_o as_o we_o live_v here_o upon_o earth_n before_o we_o come_v to_o die_v indeed_o and_o as_o man_n that_o be_v appoint_v to_o run_v a_o race_n exercise_v themselves_o before_o in_o run_v that_o they_o may_v get_v the_o victory_n so_o shall_v we_o begin_v to_o die_v now_o while_o we_o be_v live_v that_o we_o may_v dywel_v in_o the_o end_n but_o some_o may_v say_v how_o shall_v this_o be_v do_v paul_n give_v we_o direction_n in_o his_o own_o example_n when_o he_o say_v 15.31_o by_o the_o rejoice_v which_o i_o have_v in_o christ_n i_o die_v daily_o and_o he_o die_v daily_a not_o only_o because_o he_o be_v often_o in_o danger_n of_o death_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o call_n but_o also_o because_o in_o all_o his_o danger_n &_o trouble_n he_o enure_v himself_o to_o die_v for_o when_o man_n do_v make_v the_o right_a use_n of_o their_o affliction_n whether_o they_o be_v in_o body_n or_o mind_n or_o both_o and_o do_v with_o all_o their_o might_n endeavour_n to_o bear_v they_o patient_o humble_v themselves_o as_o under_o the_o correction_n of_o god_n than_o they_o begin_v to_o die_v well_o and_o to_o do_v this_o indeed_o be_v ro_o take_v a_o excellent_a course_n he_o that_o will_v mortify_v his_o great_a sin_n must_v begin_v to_o do_v it_o with_o small_a sin_n which_o when_o they_o be_v once_o reform_v a_o man_n shall_v be_v able_a more_o easy_o to_o overcome_v his_o master-sin_n so_o likewise_o he_o that_o will_v be_v able_a to_o bear_v the_o cross_n of_o all_o cross_n namely_o death_n itself_o must_v first_o of_o all_o learn_v to_o bear_v small_a cross_n as_o sickness_n in_o body_n and_o trouble_v in_o mind_n with_o loss_n of_o good_n and_o of_o friend_n and_o of_o good_a name_n est_fw-la which_o i_o may_v fit_o term_v little_a death_n &_o the_o beginning_n of_o death_n itself_o and_o we_o must_v first_o of_o all_o acquaint_v ourselves_o with_o these_o little_a death_n before_o we_o can_v be_v able_a to_o bear_v the_o great_a death_n of_o all_o again_o the_o affliction_n and_o calamity_n of_o this_o life_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o harbinger_n and_o puruier_n of_o death_n and_o we_o be_v first_o to_o learn_v how_o to_o entertain_v these_o messenger_n that_o when_o death_n the_o lord_n himself_o shall_v come_v we_o may_v in_o better_a manner_n entertain_v he_o this_o point_n bilney_n the_o martyr_n well_o consider_v who_o oftentimes_o before_o he_o be_v burn_v put_v his_o finger_n into_o the_o flame_n of_o the_o candle_n not_o only_o to_o make_v trial_n of_o his_o ability_n in_o suffering_n but_o also_o to_o arm_v and_o strengthen_v himself_o against_o great_a torment_n in_o death_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o four_o duty_n which_o you_o must_v in_o any_o wise_a learn_v and_o remember_v because_o we_o can_v be_v able_a to_o bear_v the_o pang_n of_o death_n well_o unless_o we_o be_v first_o well_o school_v and_o nurture_v by_o sundry_a trial_n in_o this_o life_n the_o five_o and_o last_o duty_n be_v set_v down_o by_o solomon_n all_o that_o thy_o hand_n shall_v find_v to_o do_v 9.10_o do_v it_o with_o all_o thy_o power_n and_o mark_v the_o reason_n for_o there_o be_v neither_o work_n nor_o invention_n nor_o knowledge_n nor_o wisdom_n in_o the_o grave_n whither_o thou_o go_v to_o the_o same_o purpose_n paul_n say_v do_v good_a to_o all_o man_n while_o you_o have_v time_n 6.10_o therefore_o if_o any_o man_n be_v able_a to_o do_v any_o good_a service_n either_o to_o god_n church_n or_o to_o the_o commonwealth_n or_o to_o any_o private_a man_n let_v he_o do_v it_o with_o all_o speed_n &_o with_o all_o his_o might_n lest_o death_n itself_o prevent_v he_o he_o that_o have_v care_n thus_o to_o spend_v his_o day_n shall_v with_o much_o comfort_n and_o peace_n of_o conscience_n end_v his_o life_n thus_o much_o of_o general_a preparation_n now_o follow_v the_o particular_a which_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o sickness_n and_o here_o first_o of_o all_o i_o will_v show_v what_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o papist_n and_o then_o afterward_o the_o truth_n by_o the_o popish_a order_n and_o practice_v when_o a_o man_n be_v about_o to_o die_v he_o be_v enjoin_v three_o thing_n first_o to_o make_v sacramental_a confession_n special_o if_o it_o be_v in_o any_o mortal_a sin_n second_o to_o

themselves_o reckon_v a_o few_o year_n and_o day_n that_o be_v able_a by_o art_n to_o measure_v the_o globe_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o sphere_n of_o heaven_n &_o the_o quantity_n of_o the_o star_n with_o their_o longitude_n latitude_n altitude_n motion_n &_o distance_n from_o the_o earth_n no_o very_o for_o howesoever_o by_o a_o general_a speculation_n we_o think_v something_o of_o our_o end_n yet_o unless_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v our_o schoolmaster_n to_o teach_v we_o our_o duty_n we_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a sound_o to_o resolve_v ourselves_o of_o the_o presence_n and_o speediness_n of_o death_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o pray_v with_o david_n and_o moses_n that_o god_n will_v enlighten_v our_o mind_n with_o knowledge_n and_o fill_v our_o heart_n with_o his_o grace_n that_o we_o may_v right_o consider_v of_o death_n and_o esteem_v of_o every_o day_n a_o hour_n as_o it_o be_v the_o day_n and_o hour_n of_o death_n the_o second_o duty_n in_o this_o general_a preparation_n be_v that_o every_o man_n must_v daily_o endeavour_v to_o take_v away_o from_o his_o own_o death_n the_o power_n and_o strength_n thereof_o and_o i_o pray_v you_o mark_v this_o point_n the_o philistines_n see_v by_o experience_n that_o samson_n be_v of_o great_a strength_n &_o therefore_o they_o use_v mean_n to_o know_v in_o what_o part_n of_o his_o body_n it_o lay_v &_o when_o they_o find_v it_o to_o be_v in_o the_o hair_n of_o his_o head_n they_o cease_v not_o until_o it_o be_v cut_v off_o in_o like_a manner_n the_o time_n will_v come_v when_o we_o must_v encounter_v hand_n to_o hand_n with_o tyrannous_a and_o cruel_a death_n the_o best_a therefore_o be_v beforehand_o now_o while_o we_o have_v time_n to_o search_v where_o the_o strength_n of_o death_n lie_v which_o be_v once_o know_v we_o must_v with_o speed_n cut_v off_o his_o sampsons_n lock_n and_o bereave_v he_o of_o his_o power_n disarm_v he_o &_o make_v he_o altogether_o unable_a to_o prevail_v against_o us._n now_o to_o find_v out_o this_o matter_n we_o need_v not_o to_o use_v the_o council_n of_o any_o dalilah_n for_o we_o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o teach_v we_o plain_o where_o the_o strength_n of_o death_n consist_v nam_o in_o our_o sin_n as_o paul_n say_v the_o sting_n of_o death_n be_v sin_n well_o then_o we_o know_v certain_o that_o the_o power_n and_o force_v of_o every_o man_n partirular_a death_n lie_v in_o his_o own_o sin_n must_v spend_v our_o time_n and_o study_n in_o use_v good_a mean_n that_o our_o sin_n may_v be_v remove_v and_o pardon_v and_o therefore_o we_o must_v daily_o inure_v ourselves_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o two_o duty_n one_o be_v to_o humble_v ourselves_o for_o all_o our_o sin_n past_a partly_o confess_v they_o against_o ourselves_o partly_o in_o prayer_n cry_v to_o heaven_n for_o the_o pardon_n of_o they_o the_o other_o be_v for_o time_n to_o come_v to_o turn_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o carry_v a_o purpose_n resolution_n &_o endeavour_n in_o all_o thing_n to_o reform_v both_o hart_n &_o life_n according_a to_o god_n word_n these_o be_v the_o very_a principal_a &_o proper_a duty_n whereby_o the_o power_n of_o death_n be_v much_o rebate_v &_o he_o be_v make_v of_o a_o mighty_a &_o bloody_a enemy_n so_o far_o forth_o friendly_a and_o tractable_a that_o we_o may_v with_o comfort_n encounter_n with_o he_o &_o prevail_v too_o therefore_o i_o commend_v these_o duty_n to_o your_o christian_n consideration_n &_o careful_a practice_n desire_v that_o you_o will_v spend_v your_o day_n ever_o hereafter_o in_o do_v of_o they_o if_o a_o man_n be_v to_o deal_v with_o a_o mighty_a dragon_n or_o serpent_n hand_n to_o hand_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o he_o must_v either_o kill_v or_o be_v kill_v the_o best_a thing_n be_v to_o bereave_v he_o of_o his_o sting_n or_o of_o that_o part_n of_o the_o body_n where_o his_o poison_n lie_v now_o death_n itself_o be_v a_o serpent_n dragon_n or_o scorpion_n &_o sin_n be_v the_o sting_n and_o poison_v whereby_o he_o wound_v &_o kill_v us._n wherefore_o without_o any_o more_o delay_n see_v that_o you_o pull_v out_o his_o sting_n the_o practice_n of_o the_o foresay_a duty_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o fit_a &_o worthy_a instrument_n to_o do_v the_o deed_n have_v thou_o be_v a_o person_n ignorant_a of_o god_n will_v a_o contemner_n of_o his_o word_n and_o worship_n a_o blasphemer_n of_o his_o name_n a_o breaker_n of_o his_o sabbath_n disobedient_a to_o parent_n and_o magistrate_n a_o murderer_n a_o fornicatour_n a_o railer_n a_o slanderer_n a_o covetous_a person_n etc._n etc._n reform_v these_o thy_o sin_n and_o all_o other_o like_a to_o they_o pull_v they_o out_o by_o the_o root_n from_o thy_o heart_n &_o cast_v they_o off_o so_o many_o sin_n as_o be_v in_o thou_o so_o many_o sting_n of_o death_n be_v also_o in_o thou_o to_o wound_v thy_o soul_n to_o eternal_a death_n therefore_o let_v no_o one_o sin_n remain_v for_o which_o thou_o have_v not_o humble_v thyself_o and_o repent_v serious_o when_o death_n hurt_v any_o man_n it_o take_v the_o weapon_n whereby_o he_o be_v hurt_v from_o his_o own_o hand_n it_o can_v do_v we_o the_o least_o hurt_v but_o by_o the_o force_n of_o our_o own_o sin_n wherefore_o i_o say_v again_o and_o again_o lay_v this_o point_n to_o your_o heart_n &_o spend_v your_o strength_n life_n and_o health_n that_o you_o may_v before_o you_o die_v abolish_v the_o strength_n of_o death_n a_o man_n may_v put_v a_o serpent_n in_o his_o bosom_n when_o the_o sting_n be_v out_o &_o we_o may_v let_v death_n creep_v into_o our_o bosom_n and_o gripe_v we_o with_o his_o leg_n and_o stab_v we_o at_o the_o heart_n so_o long_o as_o he_o bring_v not_o his_o venom_n and_o poison_n with_o he_o and_o because_o the_o former_a duty_n be_v so_o necessary_a as_o none_o can_v be_v more_o i_o will_v use_v some_o reason_n yet_o further_a to_o enforce_v they_o whatsoever_o a_o man_n will_v do_v when_o he_o be_v die_v the_o same_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v every_o day_n while_o he_o be_v live_v now_o the_o most_o notorious_a and_o wicked_a person_n that_o ever_o be_v when_o he_o be_v die_v will_v pray_v and_o desire_v other_o to_o pray_v for_o he_o &_o promise_v amendment_n of_o life_n protest_v that_o if_o he_o may_v live_v he_o will_v become_v a_o practitioner_n in_o all_o the_o good_a duty_n of_o faith_n repentance_n &_o reformation_n of_o life_n oh_o therefore_o be_v careful_a to_o do_v this_o every_o day_n again_o the_o say_n be_v true_a he_o that_o will_v live_v when_o he_o be_v dead_a must_v die_v while_o he_o be_v alive_a namely_o to_o his_o sin_n will_v thou_o then_o live_v eternal_o sue_v to_o heaven_n for_o thy_o pardon_n and_o see_v that_o now_o in_o thy_o life-time_n thou_o die_v to_o thy_o own_o
