riches_n and_o thou_o shall_v go_v to_o give_v account_n how_o thou_o come_v by_o they_o how_o many_o thing_n do_v he_o imply_v when_o he_o say_v you_o shall_v die_v this_o be_v a_o bar_n in_o their_o arm_n which_o make_v the_o proud_a peacock_n lie_v down_o his_o feather_n so_o often_o as_o he_o think_v upon_o it_o though_o he_o prick_v they_o up_o again_o whereby_o the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v have_v they_o learn_v that_o nothing_o will_v make_v they_o live_v and_o rule_v and_o deal_v so_o well_o in_o their_o throne_n as_o to_o remember_v that_o they_o shall_v die_v and_o short_o give_v account_n for_o all_o signify_v that_o prosperity_n make_v we_o forgetful_a of_o our_o end_n and_o that_o these_o mortal_a god_n live_v as_o though_o they_o be_v immortal_a a_o hard_a thing_n for_o prince_n to_o remember_v death_n when_o they_o have_v no_o leisure_n to_o think_v of_o it_o but_o chap_v in_o the_o earth_n before_o they_o be_v ware_n like_o a_o man_n which_o walk_v over_o a_o field_n cover_v with_o snow_n see_v not_o his_o way_n but_o when_o he_o think_v to_o run_v on_o sudden_o fall_v into_o a_o pit_n even_o so_o they_o which_o have_v all_o thing_n at_o will_n and_o swim_v in_o pleasure_n which_o as_o snow_n cover_v their_o way_n and_o dazzle_v their_o sight_n while_o they_o think_v to_o live_v on_o &_o to_o rejoice_v still_o sudden_o rush_v upon_o death_n &_o make_v shipwreck_n in_o the_o calm_a sea_n therefore_o it_o be_v good_a for_o they_o to_o hear_v they_o be_v god_n so_o it_o be_v meet_v to_o know_v they_o shall_v die_v wherefore_o you_o shall_v die_v say_v he_o in_o the_o next_o word_n as_o if_o he_o will_v prevent_v some_o conceit_n that_o they_o will_v take_v of_o word_n which_o he_o cast_v out_o before_o he_o cool_v they_o quick_o before_o they_o swell_v &_o defer_v not_o to_o another_o time_n but_o where_o he_o call_v they_o god_n there_o he_o call_v they_o worm_n meat_n lest_o they_o shall_v crow_v between_o the_o praise_n and_o the_o check_n i_o have_v say_v you_o be_v god_n but_o you_o shall_v die_v but_o for_o this_o die_v many_o will_v live_v a_o merry_a life_n and_o feast_n and_o sport_n and_o let_v the_o world_n slide_v but_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n be_v like_o a_o damp_n which_o put_v out_o all_o the_o light_n of_o pleasure_n and_o make_v he_o rub_v and_o frown_n and_o whine_v which_o think_v upon_o it_o as_o if_o a_o mote_n be_v in_o his_o eye_n o_o how_o heavy_a tiding_n be_v this_o to_o hear_v thou_o shall_v die_v from_o he_o which_o have_v life_n and_o death_n in_o his_o own_o hand_n when_o
