Quest. 3. In what particulars may the death of a Child of God be compared to sleep?
Answ. I have already in a Sermon printed (without my knowledge) given thirteen resemblances between death and sleep, and therefore must of necessity here omit them lest I should seem actum agere. At the present I shall only mention these two.
1. The death of a Child of God is called a sleep, 1because he is thereby laid to rest. The Scripture calls their graves, their beds of rest. And the Apostle tells us, That they which dye in the Lord rest from all their labours. They are at rest from all corporal and spiritual evils.
