I. We have the Admonitions of our Death, dispensed unto us in the Lively Oracles of GOD. The infallible Word of GOD, has with Repeated Thunderclaps, infallibly assured us, That we are ⟨p. 13⟩to Dye. We have the Word of GOD for it; Heb. 9.27. It is Appointed unto men once to Dye. Some have Died Twice; [Those who were miraculously Raised from the Dead, but not with the Better Resurrection:] But there is a Statute of Heaven for All to Die Once. The Word of GOD, which miscalls Nothing, has called Men, by the Name of Methim, or, Mortals. We are Instructed in the Word of GOD; [Rom. 8.21.] That every man is under the Bondage of Corruption. By Corruption is meant Mortality. We are in Bondage to it; Bound over to undergo it; And, as tis elsewhere said, The Fear of it keeps us in Bondage.
