of_o the_o eclipse_n of_o god_n faithful_a servant_n and_o so_o lie_v they_o to_o heart_n by_o remember_v to_o register_v the_o deed_n of_o god_n faithful_a servant_n how_o and_o when_o take_v away_o and_o withal_o bemoan_v and_o bewail_v both_o the_o misery_n they_o suffer_v and_o the_o calamity_n we_o be_v like_a to_o suffer_v by_o reason_n they_o be_v take_v away_o from_o the_o evil_a to_o come_v and_o by_o imitate_v their_o virtue_n follow_v their_o grace_n set_v before_o we_o their_o exemplary_a life_n and_o tread_v in_o their_o step_n so_o as_o to_o prepare_v for_o die_v for_o suffer_v in_o the_o like_a or_o any_o other_o kind_n that_o death_n may_v not_o find_v we_o unprovided_a and_o if_o we_o do_v live_v to_o prepare_v for_o the_o evil_a to_o come_v judgement_n be_v at_o hand_n let_v we_o be_v make_v our_o peace_n with_o god_n by_o repent_v of_o our_o own_o and_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o land_n that_o when_o the_o evil_a come_v it_o may_v not_o come_v upon_o we_o

this_o righteous_a man_n that_o have_v be_v late_o take_v from_o we_o i_o hope_v none_o will_v envy_v his_o character_n if_o we_o look_v no_o further_o than_o his_o death_n it_o be_v a_o violent_a

any_o here_o i_o may_v look_v to_o the_o manner_n of_o his_o death_n the_o righteous_a be_v say_v to_o be_v bold_a as_o a_o lion_n and_o have_v hope_n in_o his_o death_n and_o what_o be_v this_o but_o the_o serene_a consequence_n of_o a_o well_o lead_a life_n that_o make_v he_o meek_o bold_a and_o humble_o confident_a and_o cheerful_a at_o his_o dissolution_n of_o all_o act_n of_o mercy_n none_o
