Death will free you from the indwelling power of sin: In heaven there is no complaints;2 as in hell there is nothing but wickedness, so in heaven there is nothing but holiness. 2. Death will free3 you from the power and prevalency of sin: Here sin plays the Tyrant, but in heaven there is no Tyranny, but perfect felicity. 3. Death will free you from all provocations, temptations and suggestions to sin. Now you shall be above all Satan's batteries.
