4. They must dye, that mortality may be swallowed up of life, that corruption may put on incorruption.
5. They must dye, that they may be perfect in grace.
Lastly, They must dye, that they may see God face to face, and be for ever with the Lord, which they cannot do till they dye: therefore blessed by God that the righteous must perish. If a man should always live on earth, always be young, rich, and healthful, it would be unwelcome news, for while we are in the body, we are absent from the Lord, and subject to sin; and therefore when Peter asked Christ what should be done with John, Christ tells him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? from henceforth there went a report abroad that John should not dye; Now the Apostle himself was much displeased with this report, and looked upon it as a great affliction that he should not dye, and therefore he himself confutes it; But yet Jesus (said he) said not that he should not dye; as if he had said, God forbid that I should not dye.
