Lastly, and especially, The righteous perish upon a peculiar account: For if we have hope only in this life (saith the Apostle) we are of all men most miserable, and therefore they must perish to keep them from perishing: they must say as Themistocles, Perissem nisi periissem, they must dye that they may rest from their labour: for here is not our rest, Mich. 2.10. there remaineth a rest for the people of God: there is no rest in this world: the word quies wants the plural number.
2. The righteous must die that they may have their reward, their crown of glory, that God hath laid up for them, they must first fight the good fight, and finish their course, and then they shall receive a crown of glory.
3. They must dye, that they may be free from sin; for they shall never put off the body of sin, till they put off the body of the flesh.
4. They must dye, that mortality may be swallowed up of life, that corruption may put on incorruption.
