of_o doctrine_n from_o the_o word_n 1._o we_o be_v very_o prone_a to_o excess_n in_o give_v vent_n to_o our_o passion_n we_o be_v seldom_o angry_a but_o our_o anger_n be_v overhot_a bitter_a and_o

we_o seldom_o love_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n but_o we_o love_v it_o too_o much_o and_o when_o we_o grieve_v for_o any_o affliction_n we_o grieve_v too_o much_o therefore_o we_o shall_v watch_v over_o our_o heart_n in_o this_o case_n and_o strive_v to_o keep_v reason_n in_o the_o throne_n and_o let_v no_o passion_n exercise_v dominion_n over_o we_o 2._o it_o be_v a_o fault_n when_o we_o grieve_v too_o much_o at_o the_o death_n of_o pious_a friend_n and_o relation_n though_o we_o may_v shed_v some_o tear_n as_o a_o testimony_n of_o our_o natural_a affection_n yet_o we_o must_v not_o weep_v as_o if_o we_o be_v without_o hope_n but_o consider_v that_o though_o such_o fall_n under_o the_o stroke_n of_o death_n yet_o they_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o sting_n of_o death_n and_o when_o they_o be_v carry_v to_o the_o grave_a they_o rest_v there_o as_o in_o a_o bed_n of_o rich_a perfume_n till_o they_o be_v awaken_v by_o the_o voice_n of_o their_o bless_a bridegroom_n in_o the_o morning_n of_o the_o resurrection_n 3._o death_n may_v fit_o be_v compare_v to_o a_o sleep_n it_o be_v according_a to_o one_o of_o the_o poet_n imago_fw-la morti●_n the_o image_n of_o death_n
