They are distinguished in their opinions of death: for the faithful 1long to be dissolved, and although 2they might live ever in continual prosperity, yet they would not stay so long out of heaven: 3but the wicked would never ⟨image 125⟩be dissolved; because death comes alway unto them like a Jailer to hale unto prison, as Ahab said to Michaiah, that he never 4prophesied good to him. Hereby a man shall know whether he have faith; for if he believe the promises, he will be glad to receive them.
