Corollary 4.
From this Funeral of Christ results the purest and strongest consolation and encouragement to believers, 1against the fears of Death and the Grave. If this be so, that Jesus hath lain in Grave before you; let me say then to you as the Lord spake to Jacob, Gen. 46.2, 3. Fear not to go down to Egypt, for I will go down with thee, and will surely bring thee up thence. So here, fear not believer to go down to the Grave, for God will be with thee there, and will surely bring thee up thence. This ⟨p. 516⟩consideration that Jesus Christ hath lain in the Grave himself, gives manifold encouragement to the people of God, against the terrors of the Grave.
