resolution_n we_o shall_v not_o find_v any_o danger_n or_o difficulty_n at_o all_o yet_o what_o be_v the_o pain_n that_o death_n bring_v we_o nay_o what_o can_v she_o do_v with_o those_o pain_n we_o

at_o the_o last_o hour_n we_o impute_v to_o death_n not_o mark_v that_o life_n begin_v and_o continue_v in_o all_o sort_n of_o pain_n must_v also_o necessary_o end_v in_o pain_n not_o mark_v i_o say_v

nothing_o else_o but_o a_o safeguard_n against_o all_o wind_n we_o complain_v of_o death_n where_o we_o shall_v complain_v of_o life_n as_o if_o one_o have_v be_v long_o sick_a and_o beginning_n to_o

live_n in_o the_o world_n absolute_o and_o simple_o not_o to_o be_v in_o the_o world_n be_v it_o any_o pain_n do_v we_o then_o feel_v any_o pain_n when_o as_o yet_o we_o be_v not_o have_v we_o ever_o more_o resemblance_n of_o death_n then_o when_o we_o sleep_v or_o ever_o more_o rest_n then_o at_o that_o time_n now_o if_o this_o be_v no_o pain_n why_o accuse_v we_o death_n of_o the_o pain_n our_o

well_o we_o die_v every_o day_n every_o hour_n every_o moment_n we_o apprehend_v death_n as_o a_o thing_n unusual_a to_o we_o and_o yet_o have_v nothing_o so_o common_a in_o us._n our_o live_n be_v

death_n who_o have_v live_v a_o three_o part_n of_o his_o year_n have_v a_o three_o part_n of_o himself_o dead_a who_o half_o his_o year_n be_v already_o half_o dead_a of_o our_o life_n all_o the_o
