Till we enjoy a life beyond the reach of all sorrows, we shall not be beyond the reach of death. Hence that promise (Revel. 21.4.) God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: And as that life which hath no death in it, shall have no sorrow in it, so that life which is a continual death (the life of the damned) is nothing else but sorrow.
