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 life_n and_o therefore_o though_o wicked_a reprobate_n tremble_v at_o the_o name_n of_o death_n to_o who_o they_o be_v in_o thraldom_n yet_o god_n child_n be_v conqueror_n through_o christ_n may_v well_o triumph_v for_o now_o through_o he_o we_o have_v a_o entrance_n make_v to_o heaven_n and_o death_n be_v the_o very_a door_n to_o life_n a_o passage_n out_o of_o this_o world_n to_o the_o father_n from_o the_o prison_n of_o this_o body_n to_o go_v to_o christ_n it_o be_v a_o return_v to_o our_o heavenly_a country_n from_o which_o we_o be_v exile_v and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o 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 mad_a prisoner_n that_o be_v delight_v in_o his_o give_v that_o may_v be_v free_a from_o his_o fetter_n and_o care_v not_o that_o may_v go_v out_o of_o the_o jail_n and_o will_v not_o wherefore_o we_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 a_o prison_n so_o long_o as_o this_o body_n of_o sin_n compass_v we_o about_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o long_o for_o the_o everlasting_a life_n which_o be_v promise_v we_o after_o death_n for_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 pass_v the_o same_o way_n we_o need_v not_o be_v afraid_a that_o death_n shall_v overcome_v we_o for_o it_o be_v through_o he_o a_o rebate_v and_o blunt_v sword_n who_o point_n be_v break_v who_o edge_n be_v take_v off_o so_o that_o it_o can_v hurt_v we_o and_o although_o it_o draw_v some_o blood_n of_o we_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o same_o shall_v be_v but_o to_o purge_v we_o and_o rid_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 the_o faithful_a and_o the_o very_a high_a way_n to_o heaven_n let_v we_o learn_v how_o to_o prepare_v ourselves_o there_o to_o which_o be_v the_o last_o thing_n which_o i_o promise_v to_o perform_v first_o therefore_o in_o this_o our_o preparation_n let_v we_o arm_v ourselves_o against_o these_o temptation_n with_o which_o both_o devil_n world_n and_o flesh_n will_v mighty_o assail_v us._n what_o man_n say_v the_o devil_n will_v thou_o die_v why_o then_o behold_v the_o company_n of_o thy_o sin_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n the_o grave_n and_o hell_n be_v ready_a to_o devour_v thou_o the_o law_n be_v thy_o judge_n which_o do_v condemn_v thou_o to_o these_o temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n we_o must_v oppose_v christ_n righteousness_n satisfaction_n and_o merit_n in_o which_o god_n hold_v himself_o ful_o appease_v the_o world_n it_o set_v abroach_o his_o bait_n what_o will_v thou_o die_v o_o man_n why_o see_v thy_o goodly_a building_n thy_o bag_n of_o gold_n thy_o land_n and_o live_n thy_o rent_n and_o revenue_n thy_o pastime_n and_o thy_o pleasure_n thy_o jewel_n and_o thy_o treasure_n thy_o delight_n and_o all_o that_o thy_o heart_n desire_v in_o deed_n o_o world_n this_o felicity_n be_v good_a but_o yet_o no_o otherwise_o than_o it_o stand_v with_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n it_o be_v to_o be_v keep_v but_o yet_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o by_o the_o keep_n of_o it_o we_o lose_v not_o god_n and_o yet_o we_o see_v the_o vanity_n of_o thy_o pleasure_n the_o frailty_n of_o thy_o glory_n and_o the_o fickleness_n of_o thy_o good_n be_v therefore_o nothing_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n and_o happy_a life_n which_o after_o death_n i_o be_o sure_a to_o have_v wherefore_o i_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n in_o who_o be_v hide_v all_o the_o treasure_n of_o god_n who_o be_v the_o keeper_n of_o our_o life_n for_o this_o our_o life_n which_o now_o we_o lead_v be_v no_o life_n in_o deed_n but_o a_o death_n for_o we_o be_v dead_a and_o our_o life_n be_v hide_v with_o god_n in_o christ_n we_o walk_v by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o sight_n yea_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v at_o home_n in_o this_o our_o body_n we_o wander_v and_o go_v astray_o from_o god_n our_o lord_n and_o o_o thou_o world_n which_o allure_v i_o so_o to_o love_v this_o life_n what_o be_v thy_o wage_n if_o i_o shall_v serve_v thou_o i_o be_o sure_a to_o be_v a_o foe_n to_o christ_n who_o love_v thou_o not_o who_o pray_v not_o for_o thou_o who_o kingdom_n be_v not_o of_o thou_o and_o therefore_o to_o love_v thou_o be_v to_o hate_v my_o god_n which_o to_o do_v be_v worse_a than_o death_n thy_o reward_n i_o know_v be_v nothing_o but_o nakedness_n for_o naked_a i_o come_v unto_o thou_o and_o naked_a i_o shall_v go_v from_o thou_o and_o therefore_o i_o be_o willing_a to_o forsake_v thou_o and_o desire_v to_o be_v lose_a and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n who_o will_v cover_v my_o nakedness_n with_o the_o robe_n of_o his_o righteousness_n last_o come_v the_o flesh_n with_o tremble_a and_o quake_v and_o will_v thou_o die_v o_o man_n why_o see_v thy_o friend_n and_o thy_o family_n thy_o wife_n and_o thy_o child_n thy_o father_n and_o thy_o

the_o devil_n in_o fire_n everlasting_a there_o be_v nothing_o under_o god_n but_o it_o may_v be_v keep_v so_o that_o god_n be_v above_o all_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v be_v not_o lose_v he_o that_o love_v father_n or_o mother_n wife_n or_o child_n etc._n etc._n better_o than_o christ_n be_v not_o worthy_a of_o his_o presence_n and_o therefore_o though_o they_o lament_v the_o loss_n of_o my_o
