uncertain_a so_o that_o in_o such_o uncertente_a a_o man_n can_v not_o promise_v himself_o that_o he_o shall_v live_v but_o one_o moment_n of_o a_o hour_n a_o great_a deal_n less_o a_o day_n or_o

the_o repentaunt_a &_o not_o the_o obstinate_a in_o sin_n christ_n bear_v our_o sin_n on_o his_o own_o body_n to_o the_o cross_n as_o peter_n say_v i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o what_o follow_v that_o

¶_o the_o four_o cause_n i_o find_v that_o wealth_n and_o prosperity_n be_v the_o four_o cause_n which_o do_v inebriate_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n in_o such_o wise_n that_o they_o neither_o remember_v
