1 That not only wicked men, but the true members of Christ die, Heb. 9. Psal. 89. 2. Sam. 14. The consideration of this, that the godly must dye, may serve for many Uses: first, Why doth vain man dye then without wisdom⟨p. 125⟩f? secondly, how shall wicked men escapeg? their Covenant with death must needs be disannulled: thirdly, it should cause us deeply to digest the vanities of this lifeh: fourthly, it should cause us to take heed of E•es, Least ye die; for it is out of all question, die we must, and therefore mere it were, we should provide for it, without mincing or procrastinating: lastly, we should encourage our selves, and die like the members of Christ, with all willingness, Faith and Patience.
