desire_v the_o conceruation_n of_o itself_o &_o abhor_v dissolution_n which_o both_o take_v away_o our_o be_v and_o also_o bring_v with_o it_o great_a grief_n and_o pain_n which_o man_n see_v in_o other_o and_o fly_v in_o themselves_o fear_v death_n who_o servant_n and_o messenger_n they_o be_v 2_o the_o second_o cause_n be_v either_o the_o lack_n or_o the_o small_a quantity_n of_o faith_n in_o we_o whereby_o we_o believe_v not_o or_o faint_o believe_v the_o marvellous_a promise_n of_o incomparable_a bliss_n promise_v by_o god_o unto_o his_o faithful_a after_o this_o transitory_a and_o present_a life_n 3_o but_o the_o great_a cause_n be_v the_o three_o which_o be_v a_o love_n and_o sweetness_n conceive_v of_o this_o life_n the_o good_n and_o commodity_n of_o the_o same_o wherewith_o who_o so_o be_v possess_v it_o can_v not_o be_v avoid_v but_o unto_o he_o the_o very_a remembrance_n of_o death_n which_o take_v from_o he_o that_o he_o love_v must_v be_v sour_a &_o bitter_a as_o the_o scripture_n say_v to_o say_v somewhat_o to_o these_o three_o thing_n which_o make_v life_n sweet_a &_o death_n sour_a be_v the_o three_o part_n of_o my_o matter_n which_o i_o promise_v to_o

man_n sith_o christ_n our_o patron_n be_v more_o than_o man_n confess_v to_o have_v some_o feel_v of_o it_o in_o himself_o but_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o he_o be_v weak_a to_o make_v we_o strong_a who_o give_v the_o onset_n &_o make_v the_o conquest_n of_o death_n &_o weakness_n &_o that_o not_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o we_o &_o in_o our_o nature_n say_v afterward_o to_o we_o be_v bold_a &_o
