visitation_n our_o saviour_n christ_n weep_v over_o jerusalem_n because_o they_o know_v not_o the_o time_n of_o their_o visitation_n he_o reprove_v the_o jew_n because_o they_o can_v discern_v the_o face_n of_o the_o sky_n but_o can_v not_o discern_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o time_n and_o sure_o in_o the_o end_n it_o will_v turn_v to_o our_o destruction_n if_o we_o will_v not_o know_v this_o to_o be_v the_o day_n of_o mercy_n the_o time_n of_o grace_n wherein_o god_n stretch_v forth_o his_o hand_n unto_o we_o and_o wisdom_n cry_v out_o in_o the_o street_n therefore_o now_o while_o we_o have_v the_o light_n let_v we_o walk_v as_o child_n of_o the_o light_n the_o night_n come_v when_o no_o man_n can_v work_v it_o shall_v be_v too_o late_o to_o call_v for_o mercy_n after_o this_o life_n when_o the_o gate_n of_o mercy_n be_v shut_v up_o and_o repentance_n will_v be_v too_o late_o oh_o dear_a christian_n let_v we_o remember_v the_o five_o foolish_a virgin_n which_o because_o they_o forslow_v the_o time_n have_v heaven_n gate_n bar_v up_o against_o they_o let_v we_o also_o remember_v the_o fearful_a &_o doleful_a example_n of_o the_o scotfree_a glutton_n which_o be_v in_o hell_n torment_n yell_v and_o yelp_v for_o the_o least_o ease_n and_o help_v that_o may_v be_v and_o can_v not_o have_v it_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o time_n therefore_o better_o it_o be_v for_o we_o to_o leave_v our_o sin_n now_o to_o mourn_v for_o they_o now_o and_o now_o to_o repent_v than_o hereafter_o alas_o when_o it_o shall_v be_v too_o late_o better_o now_o a_o great_a deal_n to_o take_v some_o pain_n to_o strain_v ourselves_o to_o leave_v our_o sin_n and_o to_o make_v our_o heart_n smart_n for_o they_o then_o to_o be_v condemn_v for_o ever_o and_o to_o cry_v in_o the_o bottom_n of_o hell_n we_o have_v weary_v ourselves_o in_o the_o way_n of_o wickedness_n and_o destruction_n and_o we_o have_v go_v through_o dangerous_a way_n but_o we_o have_v not_o know_v the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n what_o have_v pride_n profit_v we_o or_o what_o profit_n have_v the_o pomp_n of_o riches_n bring_v we_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v poss_v away_o like_o a_o shadow_n and_o as_o a_o paste_n that_o pass_v by_o we_o have_v set_v ourselves_o against_o the_o child_n of_o god_n we_o have_v they_o in_o derision_n and_o in_o a_o parable_n of_o reproach_n we_o fool_v think_v their_o life_n madness_n and_o their_o end_n without_o honour_n but_o lo_o they_o be_v count_v among_o the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o their_o portion_n be_v emonge_o the_o saint_n therefore_o let_v we_o know_v the_o time_n of_o our_o call_n and_o let_v we_o not_o be_v worse_o they_o the_o fowl_n of_o the_o air_n the_o stork_n know_v her_o appoint_a time_n the_o turtle_n the_o crane_n and_o the_o swallow_n observe_v
