[ 1398] The day of Death becomes the good Mans comfort; And how so?
THe Persians had a certain day in the year, which they called Vitiorum in∣teritum,
wherein they used to kill all Serpents and venemous Creatures;
Such a day as that will the Day of Death be to a Man in Christ; this day the old
Serpent dyes in a believer, that hath so often s••ung him with his Temptations;
this day the sins of the Godly, these venemous Creatures shall all be destroyed,
they shall never be proud more, they shall never grieve the Spirit of God more;
the death of the body, shall quite destroy the body of death; so that Sin, which was
the Midwife that brought Death into the World, Death shall be the grave to
bury sin: O the priviledg and comfort of a true believer! he is not taken
away in his sins, but he is taken away from his sins, and death is made un∣to
him advantage.
