1That the best of men must die as well as the worst of 2men. These all died. These godly persons died, as well as others. Abraham the Father of the faithful, and Sarah ⟨p. 9⟩the Mother of the faithful. Godly Isaac, […] Jacob. These all died. The husband, and the wife. The father, the child, and grandchild, all godly, and yet all these died. The first that ever tasted of death was a godly man, even godly Abel. For the godly have the same principle of mortality within them which others have. They dwell 3in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust. And they have the same remainders of sin in them to make them liable to death which others have. They have idem fundamentum mortis, & idem demeritum.
