Excerpt from A Practical Discourse Concerning Death
That which first presents itself to our thoughts, and shall be the subject of this following treatise, is death, a very terrible thing, the very naming of which is apt to chill our blood and spirits, and to draw a dark veil over all the glories of this life. And yet this is the condition of all mankind, we must as surely die, as we are born for it is a/z/zoz'nt ed unto men once to die. This is not the original law of our nature; for though man was made of the dust of the earth, and therefore was by nature mortal, (for that which is made of dust is by nature corrupti ble, and may be resolved into dust again) yet had he not sinned, he should never have died he should have been immortal by grace, and therefore had the sacrament of immortality, the tree of life, planted in paradise but now by man sin entered into the world, and death by sin and so death fiassed u/zon all men, for that all have sinned, Rom. V. 12. And thus it is decreed and appointed by God, by an irreversible sentence, dust thou art, and unto dust thou shalt re turn.
