it_o that_o pass_v away_o think_v it_o to_o be_v temporal_a fade_v at_o the_o twinkle_n of_o a_o eye_n and_o vanity_n that_o be_v in_o this_o world_n we_o have_v here_o no_o abide_v thing_n but_o

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

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

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

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
