The grave is the house for all the living to be lodged in. 1If I wait, the grave is mine house, I have made my bed in the darkness. 2The grave is the house that I must go to, as after a hard days labour in my house I go to bed in a dark night: So we go to our beds, as into our graves for a long night; going to bed is but for a short night, but going to the grave is for a long night; death is sometimes represented with dreadful considerations, but with amiableness too. There is an abhorrency in nature against death, it is embalmed by Jesus Christ; he lay in the grave three days, to embalm the grave to you, though your beds be cloudy and dark, yet ye rest in them till the Resurrection-day. For the opening of the doctrine.
