how_o ever_o it_o be_v it_o be_v sure_a there_o want_v true_a wisdom_n and_o fortitude_n of_o spirit_n they_o forget_v to_o humble_v themselves_o under_o the_o mighty_a hand_n of_o god_n and_o be_v

injurious_a to_o almighty_a god_n the_o lord_n and_o author_n of_o their_o life_n second_o selfe-murder_n he_o that_o murder_n himself_o be_v injurious_a to_o the_o church_n of_o god_n for_o whereas_o

by_o this_o his_o wilful_a murder_n a_o grief_n unto_o she_o &_o scandalous_a by_o his_o lewd_a ensample_n and_o whereas_o his_o life_n shall_v upon_o necessity_n have_v be_v give_v away_o in_o her_o

have_v not_o possess_v and_o spoil_v he_o three_o reason_n he_o that_o murder_v himself_o offer_v wrong_v unto_o his_o country_n for_o as_o he_o be_v bear_v in_o she_o so_o he_o be_v bear_v for_o

unto_o his_o parent_n which_o under_o god_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o life_n and_o be_v this_o all_o the_o thanks_n the_o comfort_n and_o credit_n he_o do_v they_o for_o their_o generation_n and_o

himself_o first_o to_o his_o soul_n make_v himself_o guilty_a of_o murder_n and_o so_o of_o death_n second_o to_o his_o body_n which_o with_o his_o own_o hand_n he_o do_v destroy_v and_o deliver_v to_o corruption_n be_v never_o able_a to_o repair_v it_o by_o himself_o again_o and_o deprive_v it_o of_o that_o honest_a and_o comely_a burial_n which_o otherwise_o it_o may_v have_v have_v with_o the_o body_n of_o the_o saint_n three_o he_o mar_v his_o credit_n make_v himself_o famous_a by_o a_o infamous_a death_n and_o give_v just_a occasion_n to_o man_n great_o to_o suspect_v his_o salvation_n we_o be_v now_o come_v to_o the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o question_n quest_n whether_o may_v this_o selfe-murder_n be_v forgive_v undoubted_o it_o may_v if_o god_n will_v for_o god_n mercy_n be_v great_a than_o the_o mischief_n and_o malice_n of_o any_o sin_n or_o sinner_n pardon_v and_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v of_o merit_n sufficient_a to_o wash_v away_o the_o foul_a wickedness_n that_o can_v be_v commit_v this_o therefore_o i_o say_v a_o man_n that_o kill_v himself_o note_n if_o he_o do_v repent_v of_o his_o murder_n before_o he_o be_v dead_a he_o may_v and_o shall_v be_v forgive_v god_n mercy_n may_v be_v bestow_v inter_fw-la pontem_fw-la &_o fontem_fw-la between_o the_o bridge_n and_o the_o water_n between_o the_o stab_n and_o death_n note_n the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n may_v be_v forgive_v if_o the_o sinner_n can_v repent_v but_o because_o he_o can_v repent_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o hardness_n of_o the_o heart_n which_o shall_v not_o be_v remove_v to_o death_n therefore_o he_o can_v be_v forgive_v but_o selfe-murderer_n be_v not_o always_o as_o those_o sinner_n punish_v with_o final_a hardness_n and_o impenitency_n and_o therefore_o they_o may_v be_v forgive_v and_o no_o doubt_n be_v sometime_o then_o when_o god_n do_v give_v they_o grace_n to_o repent_v and_o groan_v unto_o he_o for_o his_o mercy_n but_o let_v no_o man_n presume_v upon_o god_n mercy_n dare_v to_o commit_v this_o barbarous_a villainy_n lest_o by_o presume_v on_o mercy_n he_o meet_v with_o judgement_n which_o be_v the_o ordinary_a portion_n of_o

acceptable_a in_o thy_o sight_n for_o indeed_o the_o meditation_n and_o intention_n of_o murder_n be_v too_o too_o wicked_a and_o abominable_a to_o conclude_v 7._o it_o may_v be_v demand_v whether_o a_o man_n be_v guilty_a of_o his_o own_o death_n if_o he_o shall_v be_v kill_v when_o out_o of_o a_o private_a humour_n and_o desire_v of_o revenge_n he_o do_v either_o make_v or_o take_v a_o

law_n of_o our_o kingdom_n do_v allot_v and_o allow_v those_o mean_n of_o save_v man_n reputation_n and_o of_o right_v themselves_o by_o they_o but_o utter_o condemn_v they_o and_o punish_v the_o
