Quest. 3. Is Death to be despised and slighted if it be so?
An. O no! It's one of the most weighty and serious things that ever a creature went about. So dreadful doth it appear to some, that the fear of it subjects them to Bondage all their lives, Hebr. 2. 15. And to deliver them who through fear of death were all their lives subject to bondage. And in Scripture It's called, the King of terrors, Job 18. 14. Or the black Prince, as some translate. Never had any Prince such a title before. To ⟨p. 69⟩some it hath been so terrible, that none might mention its Name before them.
