IT is a memorable observation of that Christian Heathen,1 as he hath been sometime called, That the two great lessons, which every man hath to learn in the whole time of his life, are, how to live, and how to dye; how to live virtuously, and how to die valiantly. These two weighty questions are clearly and fully answered in this Text. It declareth and delivereth such directions about life, as could never be learned in the school of nature, improved to the utmost; It prepareth and provideth such a cordial against death, as could never be extracted out of all the creatures distilled together. And indeed herein the excellency of the Christian Religion ⟨image 37⟩[…] ⟨image 37⟩[…] ⟨image 38⟩[…] ⟨image 38⟩[…] ⟨image 39⟩[…] ⟨image 39⟩[…] ⟨image 40⟩[…] ⟨image 40⟩[…] ⟨image 41⟩[…] ⟨image 41⟩[…] ⟨image 42⟩[…] ⟨p. 1⟩[…] ⟨p. 2⟩appeareth above all Religions in the world. None enjoineth such pious precepts, none subjoineth such precious promises, none sets the soul about so noble a work, none satisfieth it with such an ample reward.
