who_o then_o shall_v thy_o good_n be_v that_o thou_o have_v provide_v it_o be_v wisdom_n therefore_o for_o man_n to_o provide_v for_o god_n &_o then_o god_n will_v provide_v for_o he_o therefore_o good_a brother_n i_o beseech_v you_o in_o the_o bowel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n repent_v and_o correct_v yourself_o betimes_o reform_v your_o manner_n and_o behaviour_n by_o the_o rule_n of_o god_n

that_o be_v the_o day_n of_o death_n the_o day_n of_o doom_n that_o condemnation_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o godly_a to_o the_o wicked_a and_o damn_a sort_n death_n be_v

neither_o by_o god_n mercy_n nor_o judgement_n will_v be_v draw_v to_o amendment_n but_o neglect_v all_o mean_n and_o occasion_n and_o there_o be_v no_o better_a time_n nor_o fit_a occasion_n to_o

to_o speak_v much_o of_o either_o for_o if_o i_o do_v i_o shall_v but_o make_v the_o volume_n of_o this_o book_n to_o large_a and_o so_o cause_v the_o printer_n to_o waste_v paper_n to_o his_o

old_a rule_n in_o physic_n take_v away_o the_o cause_n and_o the_o effect_n be_v take_v away_o with_o it_o understand_v therefore_o good_a brother_n that_o the_o cause_n why_o man_n so_o much_o fear_v death_n be_v many_o according_a to_o the_o multitude_n of_o man_n and_o their_o manner_n the_o first_o cause_n be_v for_o that_o by_o death_n they_o lose_v many_o commodity_n and_o pleasure_n which_o in_o their_o life_n time_n they_o do_v long_o enjoy_v and_o have_v great_a delight_n therein_o as_o wife_n child_n parent_n friend_n land_n live_n possession_n sumptuous_a house_n building_n worldly_a

delight_n even_o at_o a_o blow_n this_o be_v the_o fear_n of_o worldling_n second_o we_o fear_v death_n because_o of_o weakness_n disease_n and_o bitter_a torment_n which_o be_v the_o forerunner_n warner_n and_o messenger_n of_o death_n this_o be_v the_o fear_n of_o the_o flesh_n the_o three_o cause_n why_o man_n fear_v death_n be_v incredulity_n or_o lack_n of_o faith_n in_o christ_n this_o be_v the_o fear_n of_o conscience_n and_o proceed_v of_o ignorance_n or_o lack_v of_o knowledge_n in_o the_o scripture_n whereof_o our_o faith_n be_v ground_v the_o four_o cause_n why_o we_o fear_v death_n be_v the_o danger_n of_o eternal_a damnation_n both_o of_o body_n and_o soul_n in_o hell_n fire_n this_o be_v the_o inward_a fear_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o to_o be_v short_a one_o comfortable_a blast_n of_o god_n spirit_n will_v extinguish_v and_o drive_v all_o these_o terror_n quite_o away_o from_o we_o even_o as_o the_o wind_n do_v drive_v away_o the_o thick_a cloud_n or_o mist_n which_o do_v separate_v we_o from_o the_o light_n and_o sight_n of_o the_o sun_n first_o therefore_o for_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o world_n and_o all_o the_o dross_n therein_o it_o be_v indeed_o
