part_n of_o our_o life_n away_o and_o every_o day_n we_o live_v we_o live_v a_o day_n less_o it_o be_v go_v and_o pass_v and_o never_o return_v again_o as_o water_n which_o it_o be_v go_v and_o whether_o we_o walk_v or_o do_v any_o thing_n the_o time_n pass_v while_o you_o hear_v and_o while_o i_o speak_v the_o time_n pass_v and_o never_o return_v again_o so_o the_o fashion_n of_o this_o world_n pass_v away_o all_o thing_n be_v pass_v here_o what_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o this_o that_o all_o thing_n be_v thus_o pass_v good_n that_o be_v not_o stable_n we_o say_v they_o be_v moveable_n and_o indeed_o those_o thing_n that_o we_o call_v immovables_n be_v moveable_n all_o pass_v away_o heaven_n and_o earth_n will_v pass_v away_o ere_o long_o and_o there_o will_v be_v a_o new_a heaven_n and_o a_o new_a earth_n kingdom_n pass_v away_o and_o king_n pass_v away_o and_o state_n pass_v away_o what_o be_v become_v of_o rome_n what_o be_v become_v of_o jerusalem_n what_o be_v become_v of_o babylon_n and_o all_o those_o goodly_a city_n all_o be_v pass_v away_o they_o be_v all_o go_v this_o experience_n speak_v as_o well_o as_o divinity_n now_o the_o ground_n of_o all_o this_o be_v nothing_o not_o only_o the_o nature_n of_o thing_n take_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v make_v of_o nothing_o and_o therefore_o subject_a to_o fall_v to_o their_o first_o principle_n again_o that_o be_v the_o fundamental_a reason_n why_o thing_n may_v be_v mooveable_a and_o pass_v away_o but_o that_o they_o be_v so_o it_o be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a reason_n for_o god_n may_v have_v suspend_v the_o mutability_n of_o thing_n if_o he_o will_v as_o the_o heavenly_a angel_n be_v mutable_a because_o they_o be_v create_v but_o god_n have_v suspend_v there_o mutability_n world_n without_o end_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a that_o all_o thing_n be_v of_o nothing_o it_o show_v that_o of_o themselves_o they_o may_v turn_v to_o nothing_o indeed_o but_o there_o be_v another_o reason_n behind_o accurse_v that_o now_o since_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n there_o be_v a_o curse_n upon_o all_o thing_n there_o be_v a_o sentence_n of_o mutability_n and_o change_n and_o a_o sentence_n of_o pass_v be_v pass_v upon_o all_o this_o that_o all_o thing_n that_o have_v a_o beginning_n shall_v have_v a_o end_n and_o that_o this_o world_n shall_v be_v a_o stage_n of_o change_n and_o alteration_n there_o be_v a_o sentence_n of_o vanity_n upon_o the_o creature_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v divine_o the_o creature_n be_v subject_a to_o vanity_n 8._o not_o of_o his_o own_o will_n but_o because_o god_n have_v subdue_v it_o to_o vanity_n rom._n 8._o man_n commit_v treason_n and_o therefore_o the_o creature_n which_o be_v man_n servant_n all_o mourn_n for_o their_o master_n fall_n they_o all_o mourn_v in_o black_a as_o it_o be_v all_o the_o creature_n be_v subject_a to_o vanity_n all_o the_o creature_n under_o the_o sun_n be_v subject_a to_o mutability_n and_o change_n but_o we_o may_v thank_v ourselves_o we_o be_v the_o grand-traitor_n that_o bring_v this_o misery_n upon_o the_o creature_n that_o be_v the_o true_a reason_n why_o all_o thing_n pass_v away_o and_o so_o why_o ourselves_o have_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n upon_o we_o we_o pass_v away_o and_o the_o thing_n pass_v away_o and_o we_o in_o the_o use_n of_o they_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o ground_n of_o this_o why_o thing_n pass_v away_o in_o the_o sentence_n of_o mutability_n and_o vanity_n that_o god_n have_v pass_v upon_o they_o if_o this_o be_v so_o they_o belove_v let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o pass_v much_o for_o thing_n that_o will_v pass_v away_o not_o to_o pass_v for_o they_o learn_v all_o the_o former_a direction_n the_o fashion_n of_o this_o world_n pass_v away_o shall_v we_o grieve_v much_o for_o the_o loss_n of_o that_o that_o we_o can_v hold_v we_o say_v if_o a_o glass_n be_v break_v be_v a_o man_n much_o angry_a a_o frail_a thing_n be_v break_v if_o a_o friend_n be_v dead_a shall_v a_o man_n be_v therefore_o angry_a the_o fashion_n of_o this_o world_n pass_v away_o a_o sentence_n be_v pass_v upon_o they_o shall_v i_o be_v move_v at_o that_o that_o god_n have_v set_v down_o a_o law_n for_o that_o one_o generation_n shall_v go_v and_o another_o shall_v follow_v after_o and_o there_o be_v a_o succession_n as_o in_o the_o stream_n of_o water_n shall_v i_o oppose_v cod_n sentence_n god_n have_v make_v all_o thing_n frail_a and_o it_o be_v but_o the_o common_a condition_n of_o all_o since_o the_o fall_n so_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o use_n of_o comfort_n and_o contentment_n with_o any_o thing_n in_o this_o world_n little_a place_n or_o riches_n or_o honour_n i_o must_v leave_v they_o i_o know_v not_o how_o soon_o and_o this_o will_v breed_v a_o disposition_n of_o contentment_n it_o be_v enough_o for_o he_o that_o must_v leave_v all_o i_o know_v not_o how_o soon_o have_v i_o little_a or_o much_o i_o must_v leave_v all_o here_o be_v enough_o for_o he_o that_o must_v leave_v all_o and_o therefore_o leave_v worldly_a thing_n to_o worldly_a man_n leave_v all_o these_o vain_a thing_n to_o vain_a man_n shall_v i_o build_v a_o fix_a hope_n on_o vain_a thing_n oh_o no_o that_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o as_o we_o must_v learn_v contentment_n desire_n so_o it_o shall_v take_v we_o off_o from_o the_o hope_n of_o this_o world_n and_o from_o promise_v ourselves_o that_o which_o we_o have_v no_o promise_n in_o the_o world_n for_o nor_o experience_n who_o promise_v thou_o thou_o shall_v enjoy_v thy_o wise_a long_a that_o thou_o shall_v enjoy_v thy_o child_n long_o thy_o place_n long_o haste_v thou_o a_o promise_n for_o this_o the_o nature_n of_o thing_n fight_v against_o thou_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n be_v variable_a have_v we_o not_o experience_n of_o former_a time_n and_o have_v we_o not_o scripture_n to_o show_v that_o all_o be_v vanity_n why_o shall_v we_o promise_v ourselves_o that_o which_o the_o word_n do_v not_o promise_v we_o or_o that_o we_o can_v see_v experience_n of_o in_o the_o world_n why_o will_v we_o have_v a_o condition_n sever_v from_o all_o man_n the_o see_v of_o thing_n in_o a_o condition_n of_o fade_a as_o it_o shall_v teach_v we_o contentment_n in_o the_o use_n of_o all_o thing_n so_o it_o shall_v teach_v we_o moderation_n and_o wisdom_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o promise_v ourselves_o any_o thing_n in_o this_o world_n and_o it_o shall_v teach_v we_o to_o provide_v for_o stable_n thing_n for_o certain_a thing_n in_o change_n and_o alteration_n look_v to_o somewhat_o that_o may_v stand_v by_o we_o when_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v go_v will_v all_o these_o thing_n leave_v i_o and_o must_v i_o leave_v they_o how_o be_v it_o with_o i_o for_o world_n without_o end_n shall_v i_o not_o therefore_o look_v for_o those_o comfort_n and_o those_o grace_n and_o for_o that_o condition_n that_o will_v abide_v when_o i_o be_o go_v hence_o what_o desperate_a folly_n be_v it_o let_v we_o labour_n for_o a_o sanctify_v use_n of_o the_o pass_v away_o of_o these_o thing_n that_o we_o may_v provide_v for_o that_o which_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o

everlasting_a and_o therefore_o why_o shall_v we_o look_v after_o perish_a thing_n and_o neglect_v better_o for_o a_o christian_n have_v the_o realty_n of_o thing_n he_o have_v a_o husband_n for_o ever_o he_o have_v matter_n of_o joy_n for_o ever_o he_o have_v a_o possession_n for_o ever_o &_o then_o there_o will_v be_v a_o new_a world_n all_o these_o thing_n be_v but_o show_v the_o christian_a have_v the_o realty_n of_o all_o that_o never_o pass_v away_o and_o therefore_o consider_v that_o all_o thing_n else_o pass_v away_o but_o the_o thing_n that_o belong_v to_o a_o christian_a as_o a_o christian_a let_v christian_n learn_v to_o make_v most_o of_o their_o best_a calling_n and_o value_v themselves_o as_o they_o be_v christian_n and_o value_v other_o as_o they_o be_v christian_n not_o
