work_v withal_o but_o if_o it_o come_v not_o to_o pass_v yet_o be_v he_o sure_a for_o asmuch_o as_o god_n dwell_v in_o he_o and_o he_o walk_v and_o go_v in_o god_n commandment_n for_o certain_o this_o

these_o word_n be_v take_v hold_n upon_o for_o natural_a reason_n do_v not_o comprehend_v they_o in_o asmuch_o as_o indeed_o it_o appear_v far_o otherwise_o and_o no_o man_n need_v to_o think_v nor_o judge_v that_o they_o which_o die_v of_o this_o plague_n be_v all_o unchristian_a and_o faithless_a but_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o doubt_v but_o that_o there_o die_v thereof_o many_o virtuous_a man_n and_o leave_v many_o ungodly_a this_o be_v do_v because_o that_o death_n may_v happen_v to_o a_o man_n two_o manner_n of_o way_n one_o way_n after_o the_o common_a course_n of_o nature_n according_a as_o every_o man_n death_n be_v appoint_v he_o of_o god_n and_o we_o have_v consent_v unto_o it_o in_o baptism_n of_o this_o say_v the_o holy_a man_n job_n in_o the_o xiiii_o chapter_n a_o man_n have_v his_o appoint_a time_n the_o number_n of_o his_o month_n stand_v with_o thou_o thou_o have_v appoint_v he_o his_o bound_n which_o he_o shall_v not_o overpasse_v another_o way_n may_v death_n happen_v to_o a_o man_n before_o the_o time_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o great_a &_o grievous_a sin_n as_o the_o lord_n have_v threaten_v by_o moses_n that_o if_o his_o commandment_n be_v not_o keep_v he_o will_v cause_v pestilence_n to_o reign_v whereout_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o when_o they_o be_v keep_v the_o plague_n abide_v out_o likewise_o say_v he_o in_o the_o commandment_n honour_n father_n and_o mother_n that_o thou_o may_v live_v long_o etc._n etc._n out_o of_o the_o which_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o his_o life_n which_o do_v they_o not_o shall_v be_v shorten_v in_o like_a

long_o if_o they_o shed_v not_o innocent_a blood_n likewise_o christ_n say_v luk._n 12._o ifye_v do_v not_o repent_v you_o shall_v all_o perish_v as_o they_o that_o the_o tower_n in_o siloa_n fall_v upon_o whereby_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o who_o so_o repent_v not_o may_v look_v for_o all_o misfortune_n and_o of_o this_o untimely_a death_n only_o speak_v this_o psalm_n and_o promise_v the_o faithful_a christian_a man_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v free_a from_o it_o for_o from_o the_o right_n appoint_v death_n into_o the_o which_o we_o have_v consent_v in_o baptism_n we_o neither_o can_v nor_o shall_v be_v deliver_v wherefore_o if_o a_o virtuous_a right_a christian_a man_n die_v of_o this_o plague_n it_o be_v certain_o his_o very_a hour_n appoint_v unto_o he_o of_o god_n which_o he_o can_v prevent_v but_o doubtless_o there_o die_v of_o it_o many_o sinner_n also_o beside_o which_o may_v well_o live_v long_o if_o they_o repent_v and_o though_o some_o be_v take_v because_o of_o their_o sin_n yet_o be_v they_o not_o therefore_o damn_v but_o if_o they_o ask_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o believe_v they_o shall_v be_v save_v as_o paul_n say_v when_o we_o be_v judge_v we_o be_v chastened_a of_o the_o lord_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v condemn_v with_o the_o world_n thus_o go_v it_o then_o together_o that_o just_a man_n die_v their_o own_o right_a death_n but_o the_o wicked_a die_v a_o untimely_a death_n and_o therewith_o do_v god_n punish_v the_o world_n sore_a of_o all_o because_o of_o their_o sin_n but_o spare_v his_o own_o for_o their_o faith_n sake_n therefore_o shall_v they_o not_o be_v fearful_a nor_o fainthearted_a but_o as_o the_o prophet_n say_v they_o shall_v look_v and_o behold_v how_o the_o ungodly_a be_v recompense_v for_o whether_o the_o wicked_a dye_n before_o the_o time_n or_o the_o just_a in_o the_o right_a season_n yet_o be_v it_o do_v both_o for_o the_o punishment_n and_o plague_n of_o the_o ungodly_a if_o virtuous_a father_n and_o mother_n die_v from_o wicked_a disobedient_a child_n then_o be_v the_o child_n plague_v for_o they_o be_v afterward_o evil_a nurter_v hang_v or_o slay_v if_o young_a child_n die_v from_o wicked_a father_n and_o mother_n then_o be_v the_o child_n deliver_v and_o the_o father_n and_o mother_n punish_v in_o that_o they_o have_v gather_v their_o good_n for_o those_o that_o they_o wish_v they_o not_o unto_o if_o tyrant_n die_v then_o be_v they_o punish_v and_o the_o persecute_a christian_n deliver_v if_o good_a ruler_n die_v which_o with_o their_o wisdom_n have_v maintain_v peace_n and_o good_a governance_n then_o be_v they_o in_o peace_n and_o so_o the_o ungodly_a which_o be_v leave_v alive_a raise_v up_o war_n and_o sedition_n and_o be_v always_o punish_v worse_o and_o worse_o shortly_n who_o so_o have_v eye_n of_o faith_n see_v that_o true_a believer_n die_v in_o a_o right_a season_n but_o the_o ungodly_a before_o the_o time_n wherefore_o whether_o good_a man_n die_v or_o live_v it_o be_v do_v for_o their_o wealth_n but_o whether_o the_o wicked_a die_n or_o live_v it_o be_v do_v for_o their_o punishment_n &_o always_o shall_v they_o be_v plague_v &_o their_o
