viz._n that_o when_o death_n come_v you_o may_v have_v a_o comfortable_a death_n bed_n in_o the_o time_n of_o your_o death-bed-sickness_n you_o will_v then_o be_v able_a to_o do_v little_a when_o your_o pain_n shall_v be_v great_a you_o will_v be_v able_a to_o pray_v little_a to_o hear_v little_a to_o read_v or_o meditate_v little_a and_o then_o what_o will_v be_v your_o comfort_n in_o that_o

these_o blessing_n which_o he_o have_v in_o his_o hand_n now_o look_v once_o more_o upon_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o as_o solomon_n in_o god_n name_n command_v you_o to_o rejoice_v with_o all_o your_o heart_n in_o the_o blessing_n which_o you_o have_v verse_n 7_o 8_o 9_o so_o in_o these_o word_n he_o command_v you_o to_o do_v god_n work_v with_o all_o your_o

christ_n do_v your_o work_n for_o you_o and_o will_v you_o do_v his_o work_n by_o half_n never_o speak_v of_o rest_n here_o there_o be_v rest_n enough_o in_o the_o grave_n and_o recompense_n enough_o in_o heaven_n either_o the_o work_n that_o be_v in_o your_o hand_n be_v worth_a your_o while_n or_o it_o be_v not_o if_o it_o be_v not_o worth_a your_o while_n why_o shall_v you_o do_v it_o at_o all_o

speak_v to_o a_o truth_n in_o public_a yet_o he_o may_v leave_v it_o in_o the_o dark_a when_o i_o come_v at_o home_n than_o i_o may_v beat_v it_o out_o more_o full_o with_o good_a company_n so_o that_o this_o ordinance_n of_o good_a company_n be_v a_o great_a talon_n and_o will_v the_o lord_n require_v a_o account_n of_o the_o improvement_n of_o our_o talent_n then_o sure_o he_o will_v have_v a_o account_n of_o the_o improvement_n of_o our_o company_n in_o the_o three_o of_o malachy_n it_o be_v say_v then_o those_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n speak_v often_o and_o a_o book_n of_o

what_o we_o do_v when_o we_o meet_v together_o and_o shall_v we_o not_o then_o take_v heed_n what_o company_n we_o come_v in_o and_o what_o we_o do_v and_o speak_v in_o our_o company_n it_o be_v record_v of_o mr._n latimer_n the_o martyr_n that_o though_o he_o be_v somewhat_o free_a in_o his_o speech_n when_o he_o be_v examine_v yet_o when_o he_o hear_v a_o pen_n write_v behind_o the_o
