34.28_o 2_o chr._n 34.28_o now_o i_o have_v already_o show_v that_o josiah_n be_v mortal_o wound_v at_o megiddo_n and_o fall_v in_o battle_n and_o how_o can_v such_o a_o man_n who_o be_v defeat_v and_o die_v in_o war_n be_v say_v to_o go_v to_o the_o grave_a in_o peace_n and_o yet_o josiah_n who_o fall_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o egyptian_a and_o jeroboam_n son_n who_o be_v cut_v off_o by_o death_n in_o the_o most_o flourish_a state_n of_o life_n i_o say_v they_o both_o go_v to_o the_o grave_a in_o peace_n now_o to_o die_v or_o go_v to_o the_o grave_a in_o peace_n do_v not_o respect_v the_o kind_n of_o death_n whether_o in_o battle_n or_o on_o a_o scaffold_n or_o of_o old_a age_n and_o in_o a_o man_n bed_n but_o it_o regard_v the_o person_n who_o die_v and_o that_o temper_n and_o

unshaken_a when_o the_o storm_n and_o wave_n of_o sorrow_n beat_v hard_a upon_o he_o he_o die_v in_o peace_n who_o resign_v his_o own_o will_n to_o the_o will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o he_o who_o make_v he_o and_o welcome_v the_o most_o painful_a or_o shameful_a way_n of_o die_v as_o the_o ready_a way_n to_o immortality_n and_o eternal_a life_n thus_o die_v josiah_n though_o he_o fall_v in_o battle_n and_o thus_o fall_v the_o royal_a martyr_n though_o murder_v in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o his_o own_o subject_n how_o he_o go_v to_o the_o grave_a it_o be_v not_o know_v the_o grave_n of_o

die_v in_o peace_n as_o they_o who_o die_v in_o battle_n or_o in_o their_o bed_n because_o though_o they_o go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n with_o a_o calm_a and_o quiet_a mind_n yet_o their_o blood_n call_v for_o vengeance_n seem_v to_o declare_v war_n but_o in_o all_o other_o respect_n man_n who_o die_v for_o religion_n and_o patient_o suffer_v in_o a_o good_a cause_n though_o saw_v asunder_o

sorrow_n and_o suffer_v and_o death_n do_v all_o come_v into_o the_o world_n together_o and_o be_v occasion_v by_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n and_o be_v all_o of_o they_o continue_v as_o scourge_v and_o judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o man_n for_o sin_n the_o almighty_a have_v but_o one_o arrow_n in_o his_o quiver_n sharp_a than_o these_o and_o that_o he_o send_v among_o we_o when_o he_o punish_v sin_n with_o sin_n when_o he_o suffer_v ill_a man_n to_o harden_v in_o impenitence_n to_o increase_v their_o gild_n and_o thereby_o consign_n they_o over_o to_o damnation_n this_o be_v the_o most_o dreadful_a and_o amaze_a judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o earth_n to_o leave_v a_o man_n to_o a_o reprobate_a sense_n and_o hard_a heart_n and_o on_o this_o side_n the_o grave_a and_o hell_n without_o all_o hope_n of_o redemption_n i_o know_v not_o but_o there_o may_v be_v man_n in_o the_o world_n thus_o leave_v to_o themselves_o who_o instead_o of_o repent_v of_o a_o most_o horrid_a murder_n and_o of_o shed_v innocent_a blood_n have_v themselves_o and_o their_o posterity_n justify_v the_o do_v it_o and_o advance_v from_o the_o blood_n of_o one_o king_n to_o maintain_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o

give_v we_o grace_n to_o repent_v and_o amend_v and_o then_o we_o be_v again_o right_a in_o his_o sight_n but_o to_o shed_v innocent_a blood_n and_o to_o justify_v the_o do_v it_o be_v what_o
