the_o reader_n it_o be_v story_v of_o latimer_n the_o bishop_n that_o on_o a_o time_n when_o he_o be_v to_o preach_v before_o king_n edward_n the_o 6_o his_o theme_n be_v take_v heed_n and_o beware_v of_o covetousness_n and_o so_o keep_v on_o the_o repetition_n of_o it_o five_o or_o six_o time_n together_o as_o if_o he_o intend_v that_o his_o sermon_n shall_v consist_v of_o no_o more_o word_n than_o his_o bare_a theme_n viz._n take_v heed_n and_o beware_v of_o covetousness_n but_o if_o the_o bishop_n be_v now_o alive_a he_o will_v see_v cause_n to_o alter_v his_o subject_n in_o turn_v of_o it_o from_o covetousness_n to_o death_n for_o as_o he_o make_v use_v of_o after_o argument_n to_o dehort_v his_o auditor_n from_o that_o sin_n so_o now_o will_v he_o see_v need_n to_o make_v as_o often_o a_o repetition_n of_o the_o word_n death_n as_o the_o prophet_n do_v of_o the_o word_n earth_n o_o earth_n earth_n hear_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o all_o will_v be_v too_o little_a to_o affright_v this_o age_n from_o more_o gross_a sin_n it_o be_v our_o unhappy_a lot_n to_o live_v in_o a_o age_n wherein_o our_o most_o sharp_a brain_n be_v more_o incline_v to_o exercise_v the_o vanity_n of_o wit_n than_o to_o labour_v after_o true_a wisdom_n which_o will_v render_v the_o ensue_a subject_n the_o less_o pleasant_a to_o they_o for_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o man_n shall_v read_v a_o subject_a of_o death_n with_o pleasure_n who_o so_o much_o abound_v in_o sin_n while_o they_o live_v with_o so_o much_o pleasure_n it_o be_v the_o say_n once_o of_o queen_n elizabeth_n that_o of_o all_o the_o book_n which_o she_o have_v read_v she_o prize_v most_o these_o two_o viz._n senica_n and_o the_o bible_n and_o it_o will_v be_v no_o small_a mercy_n to_o the_o most_o of_o our_o age_n if_o they_o can_v say_v that_o of_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n they_o most_o love_n these_o two_o viz._n to_o live_v to_o christ_n and_o to_o die_v to_o sin_n because_o to_o such_o a_o man_n death_n will_v not_o appear_v as_o a_o lion_n but_o as_o a_o lamb._n for_o those_o who_o bleed_a wound_n by_o sin_n be_v not_o heal_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n their_o death_n will_v make_v the_o great_a wound_n at_o last_o if_o the_o preach_a of_o death_n to_o man_n ear_n will_v be_v the_o death_n of_o sin_n in_o their_o heart_n the_o ensue_a subject_n than_o may_v be_v as_o solomon_n speak_v of_o seasonable_a word_n viz._n like_o appel_n of_o gold_n in_o picture_n of_o silver_n but_o instead_o of_o any_o hope_v this_o way_n may_v we_o not_o sit_v down_o with_o the_o prophet_n complaint_n and_o cry_v out_o as_o he_o do_v isa_n 28._o 10_o 12._o though_o line_n upon_o line_n be_v bring_v to_o this_o people_n and_o precept_n upon_o precept_n here_o a_o little_a
