IN the last verse of the former part he set down the righteousness of GODS law, he prayed therefore that he might have understanding and live; and therefore they that are ignorant have no life in them, because life is only revealed in the word. ⟨p. 558⟩Sinners then having not received the word, are dead: for the life of sin is the death of man. And our first father was dead when he had sinned, and they who lived in pleasure, and all other sinners are dead; though they for a while prolong their life on earth, yet at death the soul goeth to hell, and waiteth there for the body: and this curse waiteth on all, Cursed are all that continue not in all things, &c. and after Gods great suffering they shall be cut off.

He knew that the beginning of this life was in the word, and he also knew that the continuance of it, was in the word, by the grace of God; and therefore he laboured to have it increased by the word, because he was convinced by his infirmity that he might lose it, as Adam did: and therefore he seeketh to finish the course of his salvation with fear.
