this_o life_n say_v the_o prophet_n all_o the_o sweet_a he_o have_v fore-goeth_a death_n after_o he_o have_v a_o portion_n indeed_o but_o it_o be_v a_o portion_n of_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n of_o storm_n and_o tempest_n of_o anguish_n and_o tribulation_n of_o shame_n and_o confusion_n of_o horror_n and_o amazement_n in_o a_o fiery_a lake_n from_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o curse_a spirit_n thus_o death_n must_v needs_o be_v terrible_a to_o he_o but_o as_o comfortable_a to_o the_o godly_a for_o it_o make_v his_o cross_n as_o short_a as_o the_o other_o comfort_n the_o wicked_a can_v promise_v to_o himself_o comfort_n of_o a_o hour_n length_n nor_o may_v the_o godly_a threaten_v himself_o with_o cross_n of_o a_o hour_n continuance_n death_n in_o a_o instant_n turn_v the_o sinner_n glory_n into_o shame_n pleasure_n into_o pain_n comfort_v into_o confusion_n death_n in_o a_o instant_n ease_v the_o godly_n body_n of_o all_o pain_n his_o soul_n of_o all_o sin_n his_o conscience_n of_o all_o fear_n and_o leave_v he_o in_o a_o estate_n of_o perfect_a happiness_n and_o happy_a be_v they_o who_o misery_n be_v no_o long_o than_o life_n but_o woe_n be_v to_o the_o wicked_a who_o jollity_n end_v when_o death_n enter_v and_o who_o torment_n survive_v death_n itself_o and_o so_o we_o leave_v samuel_n to_o his_o rest_n well_o samuel_n be_v well_o himself_o but_o in_o what_o case_n do_v he_o leave_v his_o poor_a neighbour_n at_o ramah_n that_o the_o text_n now_o speak_v and_o it_o be_v my_o trouble_n yet_o better_a one_o than_o all_o trouble_a that_o i_o
