Besides his disposition, he is happy in condition: 1for death is a sweet close: God, and he meet; grace, and glory meet: he is in heaven (as it were) before his time. What is death to him? The end of all misery, of all sin, of body and soul, it is the beginning of all true happiness in both. This I might show at large, but I have spoken somewhat of this point out of another Text. *They are happy in their death, for their death is precious in Gods sight: the Angels are ready to do their attendance, to carry their souls to the place of happiness. They are happy in their death, because they are in the Lord: when death severs soul and body, yet notwithstanding, neither soul nor body are severed from Christ, They die in the Lord, therefore still they are happy. Much might be said to this purpose, and to good purpose, but that the point is ordinary, and I hasten to press things that I think will a little more confirm it. They are blessed in death.
