The fourth (and last) volume of discourses, or sermons, on several scriptures

This was the Doctrine of the Apostles, and the Faith of the Primitive Christians: And that this Faith did animate them against the Fears of Death, and enable them to meet that King of Terrors with Undaunted Resolutions; and it is this which still Buoys up the sinking Spirits of Believers; it was this which comforted this Reverend and Learned Prelate, whose Funerals was then solemnized. This supported him in his late Troubles and Afflictions, in his greatest Pains and ⟨image 7⟩sharpest Agonies. He often discoursed with me on this Subject. He fixed his Thoughts upon the Glorious Resurrection, and set his Affections on the things above; and with the Joyful Hope and Expectation of them he was enabled to bear the Torments of his Body with great Patience, and wonderful Magnanimity; and was not in the least terrified with the Thoughts of Death. It was not [Greek or Hebrew] to him; he spoke of it without Concern, and triumphed over all its Terrors, and welcomed it as a Joyful Messenger, calling him to his Dormitory till the Resurrection. And he died full of this Faith, and did, with Job, say, Though his Body were destroyed with Worms, it should rise again to a Blessed Immortality, and in the same Flesh he should see God; and through the Merits and Intercession of Christ, he doubted not to Partake of the Things above.
