Deaths advantage

I conclude all with but naming the last Proposition from the other reading, Christ in life, in death is gain unto believers. If the Apostle live, he shall serve Christ; if he dye he shall enjoy him; if he live, he shall glorify him by his ministry, if he dye, he shall glorify him by his martyrdom. When Christ is ours, every condition, life or death, prosperity or adversity is gainful to us. It is hard to say whether it be better for a wicked man to live or dye, being in both equally miserable; If he live, he increaseth his sin; if he die, he entereth upon his sorrow. But unto a godly man either condition is comfortable and blessed; his life is fruitful, his death is peaceable; the grace of Christ is manifested in his life, and the glory of Christ is magnified in his death. Let us be careful to secure the Pronoun he•e, [Greek or Hebrew], To Me, that we be such as Paul was, who rejoice in that Christ is preached, though we should suffer by the means, who are not ashamed of the afflictions of the Gospel, but are willing that Christ may be magnified in our body, whether by life or by death, and then we may boldly conclude as our Apostle doth, whether I live ⟨p. 23⟩or whether I die, Christ will in both conditions be advantage unto me.

It is hard to say whether it be better for a wicked man to live or dye, being in both equally miserable; If he live, he encreaseth his sin; if he die, he entreth upon his sorrow. But unto a godly man either condition is comfortable and blessed; his life is fruitful, his death is peaceable; the grace of Christ is manifested in his life, and the glory of Christ is manified in his death. Let us be careful to secure the Pronown he•e, 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, To Me, that we be such as Paul was, who rejoyce in that Christ is preached, though we should suffer by the means, who are not ashamed of the afflictions of the Gospel, but are willing that Christ may be magnified in our body, whether by life or by death, and then we may boldly conclude as our Apostle doth, whether I live
