Christos kai kerdos. = Christ the life, and death the gain, of every true believer: or, The life of a saint resolved into Christ, and His death into gain. Held forth clearly in a sermon preached at the late sad and solemn funeral of the right worshipful Rowland Wilson, Esq; a Member of the Parliament of England, and of the honourable Council of State; and one of the aldermen and sheriffs of the city of London. By Obadiah Sedgwick, B.D. and minister of the Gospel at Covent-Garden. Together with an epistle dedicatory: wherein is an exact account given upon some years more then ordinary experience of the superlative worth of this eminent servant of Christ, and of the Common-wealth. By George Cokayn, an unworthy teacher of the Gospel at Pancras Supper lane, London.Christos kai kerdos. = Christ the life, and death the gain, of every true beleever: or, The life of a saint resolved into Christ, and His death into gain.

1. He executes all your Judgment for you; He is the widows *Judg: Hers in a peculiar manner. God was so good under the Law, as to *execute the judgment of the widow; much more is he so now under the Gospel: Whether you are Plaintiff or Defendant, seeing the Judg is yours, the Cause cannot but be yours also.
2. He establisheth mercies to you: When a husband dyes, the very pillars of the house are broken; God then appears and establisheth all again: so that now what the widow hath, though never so little, is more sure to her then to any one else: 1* He establisheth the border of the widow. It was the widows oil in the cruse, and the widows meal in the barrel, which did not waste.
