The fifth thought.
Think (if thou fearest to dye) that in Mount Zion there is no death: 1for he that believeth in Christ shall never die. 2And if thou desirest to live; without doubt the life eternal (whereunto this death is but a passage) surpasseth all. There do all the faithful departed (having ended their miseries) live with Christ in joys: and thither shall all the godly, which survive, be gathered ⟨p. 951⟩out of their troubles, to enjoy with him eternal rest.
