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