Come hither then, oh you trembling souls, who through the fear of death have all your lives time been subject to bondage, come hither, I say, and set your feet upon the ⟨p. 141⟩neck of this King of terrors, and fear not to make that triumphant challenge of the Apostle, Oh death! 1where is thy sting? O grave! where is thy victory? Death is swallowed up in victory, and (being conquered) serves to that high and honourable end, scil. to be the Saints Usher of State to bring them into the presence of the King of glory, to behold his face, and to hear his wisdom, from thenceforth for ever to be with the Lord: Death serves the Saints now for no use, but to kill mortality, and to extinguish corruption; This corruptible must put on incorruption, 2and this mortal must put on immortality, i. e. We shall ever be with the Lord a in perfect incorruptible state of glory; and this must be effected by means of death: Oh, what were ten thousand deaths, ushering in the Soul into so much glory!
