heathen_a can_v say_v that_o we_o be_v then_o best_a in_o soul_n when_o we_o be_v weak_a in_o body_n for_o than_o we_o be_v most_o in_o heavenly_a resolution_n and_o seek_v after_o god_n yea_o then_o it_o appear_v what_o good_a proficient_o we_o have_v be_v in_o time_n of_o health_n oh_o how_o happy_a be_v our_o condition_n if_o we_o be_v as_o good_a when_o we_o be_v well_o and_o in_o health_n as_o we_o usual_o be_v when_o we_o be_v sick_a and_o ill_a death_n even_o death_n itself_o which_o be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o though_o it_o be_v fearful_a and_o irksome_a to_o nature_n yet_o it_o be_v to_o god_n servant_n a_o bed_n of_o down_o ease_v they_o of_o all_o their_o misery_n and_o put_v they_o in_o possession_n of_o a_o heavenly_a kingdom_n therefore_o say_v solomon_n the_o day_n of_o death_n be_v better_a than_o the_o day_n of_o birth_n god_n will_v be_v the_o god_n of_o he_o not_o only_o unto_o death_n but_o in_o death_n death_n be_v the_o death_n of_o itself_o and_o not_o

of_o all_o death_n albeit_o it_o seem_v terrible_a and_o dreadful_a yet_o the_o sting_n thereof_o be_v take_v away_o by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n it_o bring_v everlasting_a joy_n along_o with_o it_o and_o be_v only_o as_o a_o groom-porter_n to_o let_v we_o in_o to_o a_o stately_a palace_n whether_o tend_v all_o the_o trouble_v we_o meet_v with_o in_o this_o world_n but_o only_o to_o fit_v
