people_n of_o god_n in_o which_o when_o he_o present_v himself_o frank_o unto_o death_n to_o appease_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v ready_a in_o the_o name_n of_o all_o other_o and_o for_o their_o comfort_n to_o bear_v the_o scourge_n of_o god_n he_o know_v well_o that_o it_o be_v far_o great_a glory_n to_o die_v for_o christ_n than_o to_o reign_v in_o this_o world_n can_v there_o be_v a_o more_o excellent_a thing_n than_o to_o offer_v up_o ourselves_o unto_o christ_n although_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o diverse_a sacrifice_n of_o david_n yet_o be_v there_o a_o mention_n of_o this_o one_o particular_a in_o this_o psalm_n which_o say_v i_o will_v sacrifice_v unto_o thou_o praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n he_o say_v not_o i_o do_v sacrifice_n but_o i_o will_v mind_v hereby_o to_o infer_v that_o a_o sacrifice_n be_v then_o perfect_a when_o every_o believer_n be_v deliver_v out_o of_o the_o band_n of_o this_o body_n to_o appear_v before_o the_o lord_n &_o then_o present_v himself_o to_o he_o in_o a_o sacrifice_n of_o praise_n because_o no_o praise_n nor_o thanksgiving_n be_v perfect_a or_o accomplish_v before_o death_n and_o no_o man_n can_v be_v true_o praise_v in_o this_o life_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o uncertainty_n of_o that_o to_o come_v death_n therefore_o be_v a_o separation_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n for_o that_o which_o further_o remain_v we_o say_v before_o how_o s._n paul_n declare_v that_o to_o be_v dissolve_v &_o be_v with_o christ_n he_o esteem_v a_o far_o better_a thing_n than_o to_o tarry_v here_o still_o what_o else_o procure_v this_o separation_n but_o the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o body_n and_o bring_v of_o it_o to_o repose_v &_o as_o for_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v her_o freedom_n &_o introduction_n to_o peace_n &_o joy_n that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o live_v with_o christ_n if_o it_o believe_v the_o chrildren_n of_o god_n therefore_o do_v nothing_o in_o this_o world_n but_o purify_v themselves_o from_o the_o contamination_n of_o the_o body_n which_o be_v as_o band_n to_o tie_v we_o in_o &_o labour_n to_o free_v themselves_o from_o these_o difficulty_n renounce_v of_o pleasure_n shun_v dissolutenes_n &_o the_o flame_n of_o concupiscence_n be_v it_o not_o they_o true_a that_o every_o faithful_a soul_n live_v here_o below_o be_v conform_v and_o join_v unto_o death_n when_o she_o study_v to_o die_v in_o herself_o to_o all_o carnal_a delight_n and_o to_o all_o the_o desire_n and_o allurement_n of_o the_o world_n thus_o be_v the_o apostle_n dead_a when_o he_o say_v 6._o gal._n

his_o life_n also_o in_o his_o body_n death_n therefore_o be_v necessary_a in_o we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o life_n may_v be_v necessary_a also_o there_o be_v a_o good_a life_n after_o death_n that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o great_a felicity_n after_o victory_n a_o good_a life_n at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o combat_n when_o the_o law_n of_o the_o flesh_n can_v no_o more_o contradict_v the_o law_n of_o
