know_v it_o you_o will_v then_o demand_v be_v it_o lawful_a therefore_o for_o such_o as_o be_v in_o distress_n to_o complain_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o all_o complaint_n be_v not_o sinful_a david_n complain_v in_o the_o si●t_a psalm_n that_o his_o soul_n be_v sore_o trouble_v and_o ●et_o he_o sin_v not_o hezechiah_n mourn_v like_o a_o dove_n in_o his_o sickness_n isaiah_n 38._o 14._o and_o yet_o for_o that_o be_v not_o just_o to_o be_v reprove_v but_o lawful_a complaint_n in_o time_n of_o extremity_n must_v be_v join_v with_o these_o limitation_n first_o it_o must_v not_o be_v with_o murmur_v or_o repine_v against_o god_n but_o rather_o with_o a_o patient_a submit_v to_o his_o bless_a will_n so_o that_o though_o we_o do_v declare_v our_o grief_n yet_o we_o must_v be_v content_a to_o endure_v it_o in_o obedience_n to_o god_n and_o we_o must_v learn_v of_o christ_n to_o say_v if_o thou_o will_v that_o i_o shall_v drink_v of_o this_o cup_n thy_o will_n be_v do_v second_o our_o complaint_n must_v not_o be_v to_o the_o weaken_n of_o our_o faith_n we_o must_v so_o complain_v as_o that_o still_o we_o hold_v fast_o some_o ground_n of_o joy_n for_o indeed_o we_o ought_v to_o rejoice_v evermore_o and_o we_o shall_v not_o mourn_v without_o hope_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v three_o our_o complaint_n must_v be_v moderate_a for_o there_o be_v but_o a_o time_n to_o mourn_v we_o ought_v to_o find_v time_n as_o well_o for_o the_o declare_v of_o god_n mercy_n which_o we_o have_v receive_v as_o to_o express_v our_o grief_n or_o else_o we_o be_v great_o unthankful_a thus_o much_o for_o the_o meaning_n now_o come_v we_o by_o god_n permission_n and_o assistance_n to_o collect_v such_o doctrine_n and_o instruction_n as_o may_v make_v for_o our_o edification_n month_n of_o vanity_n where_o note_v we_o that_o job_n speak_v of_o his_o life_n do_v not_o term_v his_o month_n month_n of_o certainty_n as_o though_o he_o have_v a_o lease_n of_o his_o life_n but_o month_n of_o vanitle_n as_o imply_v that_o man_n life_n be_v very_o frail_a and_o doctr._n subject_a to_o vanish_v away_o and_o indeed_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o frail_a &_o more_o uncertain_a for_o this_o cause_n the_o scripture_n compare_v our_o life_n to_o thing_n that_o be_v very_o inconstant_a as_o sometime_o to_o grass_n which_o in_o the_o morning_n flourish_v &_o grow_v &_o in_o the_o evening_n be_v cut_v down_o and_o wither_v psal_n 90._o 5._o 6._o and_o sometime_o to_o a_o vapour_n which_o appear_v for_o a_o very_a little_a time_n and_o afterward_o vanish_v away_o jam._n 4._o 14._o sometime_o to_o a_o weaver_n shuttle_n which_o quick_o pass_v from_o one_o side_n of_o the_o web_n unto_o the_o other_o sometime_o to_o smoke_n which_o be_v drive_v away_o and_o disperse_v with_o every_o wind_n or_o blast_v psal_n 102._o 3._o sometime_o to_o a_o shadow_n which_o decline_v psal_n 102._o 11._o and_o sometime_o to_o vanity_n itself_o as_o in_o my_o text_n god_n church_n and_o people_n have_v take_v diligent_a notice_n of_o this_o frailty_n from_o time_n to_o time_n and_o therefore_o have_v make_v account_n of_o short_a life_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o abraham_n in_o his_o perfect_a health_n term_v himself_o dust_n and_o ash_n genes_n 18._o 27._o hence_o it_o be_v that_o david_n say_v that_o his_o life_n be_v always_o in_o his_o hand_n psal_n 119._o 109._o hence_o it_o be_v that_o paul_n say_v i_o be_o ready_a to_o be_v deliver_v and_o the_o time_n of_o my_o departure_n be_v at_o hand_n 2._o tim._n 4._o 6._o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o church_n say_v we_o have_v here_o no_o abide_v city_n heb._n 13._o 14._o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o so_o many_o faithful_a christian_n do_v so_o ordinary_o remember_v their_o mortality_n &_o their_o grave_n when_o they_o lie_v down_o in_o their_o bed_n and_o indeed_o very_a experience_n do_v reason_n teach_v we_o that_o man_n life_n be_v frail_a for_o do_v we_o not_o see_v young_a man_n

one_o poor_a hour_n again_o our_o life_n must_v needs_o be_v reason_n frail_a and_o uncertain_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o manifold_a danger_n whereunto_o they_o be_v continual_o subject_a for_o

this_o must_v teach_v all_o christian_n to_o endeavour_n and_o that_o betimes_o to_o lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o a_o comfortable_a death_n and_o for_o this_o end_n we_o must_v observe_v these_o rule_n first_o we_o must_v take_v away_o the_o sting_n of_o death_n which_o be_v sin_n there_o be_v nothing_o which_o make_v death_n terrible_a or_o troublesome_a unto_o god_n child_n but_o sin_n as_o for_o the_o pang_n many_o christian_n have_v comfortable_o endure_v they_o especial_o be_v assure_v of_o god_n favour_n and_o also_o privy_a to_o themselves_o of_o a_o well_o spend_v life_n but_o as_o for_o such_o which_o will_v not_o be_v rule_v but_o will_v still_o retain_v a_o felfewill_n their_o end_n have_v be_v common_o uncomfortable_a therefore_o my_o dear_a brother_n and_o sister_n whosoever_o thou_o be_v let_v my_o counsel_n be_v available_a with_o thou_o cast_v away_o all_o thy_o transgression_n whereby_o thou_o have_v transgress_v spare_v not_o thy_o bosom_n sin_n for_o i_o say_v unto_o thou_o every_o sin_n which_o thou_o keep_v unmortify_v do_v threaten_v to_o make_v thy_o death_n uncomfortable_a wherefore_o let_v we_o every_o day_n be_v lessen_v the_o sorrow_n of_o death_n by_o our_o daily_a practice_n of_o mortification_n have_v thou_o mortify_v lust_n mortify_v also_o ☜_o covetousness_n have_v thou_o mortify_v covetousness_n mortify_v also_o pride_n have_v thou_o mortify_v pride_n mortify_v also_o rash_a anger_n in_o a_o word_n have_v thou_o mortify_v some_o sin_n strive_v to_o mortify_v all_o sin_n for_o assure_v thyself_o if_o thou_o keep_v any_o one_o sin_n alive_a it_o will_v be_v bitterness_n in_o the_o end_n second_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o make_v a_o comfortable_a end_n we_o must_v walk_v faithful_o and_o labour_n to_o glorify_v god_n in_o our_o particular_a call_n how_o come_v paul_n to_o finish_v his_o day_n with_o comfort_n but_o by_o this_o that_o he_o have_v finish_v his_o course_n 2._o tim._n 4._o that_o be_v he_o have_v be_v

that_o we_o walk_v faithful_o in_o our_o general_a calling_n as_o we_o be_v christian_n but_o we_o must_v also_o walk_v faithful_o in_o our_o particular_a calling_n it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o good_a christian_a but_o we_o must_v be_v good_a magistrate_n or_o good_a master_n or_o good_a husband_n or_o good_a wife_n or_o good_a servant_n or_o good_a child_n etc._n etc._n we_o must_v glorify_v god_n in_o the_o rank_n wherein_o god_n have_v set_v we_o if_o ever_o we_o mean_v to_o die_v with_o sound_a comfort_n three_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o make_v a_o comfortable_a end_n we_o must_v be_v careful_a to_o think_v of_o our_o end_n betimes_o when_o sickness_n and_o death_n come_v unexpected_a they_o be_v the_o more_o unwelcome_a they_o come_v as_o unbidden_a guest_n but_o if_o we_o have_v serious_o think_v of_o these_o thing_n before_o hand_n and_o make_v they_o part_n of_o our_o daily_a meditation_n than_o they_o be_v the_o less_o troublesome_a and_o the_o more_o easy_o bear_v even_o as_o a_o heavy_a burden_n if_o it_o be_v throw_v upon_o a_o man_n shoulder_n at_o unaware_o it_o be_v ready_a to_o break_v his_o back_n but_o if_o he_o be_v aware_a of_o his_o burden_n and_o fit_v himself_o to_o receive_v it_o i●_n be_v far_o more_o tolerable_a so_o it_o be_v with_o death_n and_o sickness_n if_o thou_o think_v of_o these_o thing_n before_o hand_n they_o will_v be_v far_o more_o easy_a but_o if_o thou_o put_v this_o evil_a day_n far_o from_o thou_o thou_o shall_v find_v by_o woeful_a experience_n that_o unexpected_a death_n be_v the_o most_o ☜_o bitter_a and_o terrible_a therefore_o let_v thy_o bed_n put_v thou_o daily_o in_o mind_n of_o thy_o grave_n and_o thy_o sleep_n of_o thy_o death_n let_v the_o put_v off_o thy_o garment_n put_v thou_o in_o mind_n of_o lay_v down_o this_o tabernacle_n of_o thy_o body_n yea_o let_v thy_o sheet_n put_v thou_o in_o mind_n of_o thy_o wind_a sheet_n and_o the_o clothes_n which_o cover_v thou_o in_o thy_o bed_n put_v thou_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o earth_n which_o shall_v cover_v thou_o in_o thy_o grave_n thus_o thou_o shall_v imitate_v job_n who_o wait_v all_o the_o day_n of_o his_o appoint_a time_n until_o his_o change_a come_n job_n 14._o 14._o and_o thus_o thou_o shall_v imitate_v many_o dear_a child_n of_o god_n which_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n thus_o to_o think_v of_o their_o mortality_n thus_o thou_o shall_v be_v more_o and_o more_o mortify_v to_o the_o world_n and_o thus_o no_o doubt_n thou_o shall_v make_v thy_o end_n comfortable_a four_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o make_v a_o comfortable_a end_n we_o must_v endeavour_n betimes_o to_o make_v our_o call_n and_o election_n ☞_o sure_a thus_o simeon_n depart_v in_o peace_n because_o his_o eye_n have_v see_v god_n

we_o may_v make_v our_o call_n and_o election_n sure_a we_o must_v observe_v these_o rule_n first_o we_o must_v be_v diligent_a hearer_n of_o god_n word_n for_o faith_n come_v by_o hear_v as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o so_o many_o waver_v be_v it_o not_o because_o they_o be_v idle_a and_o because_o they_o will_v not_o take_v the_o pain_n to_o hear_v so_o diligent_o as_o their_o case_n require_v second_o that_o we_o may_v make_v our_o call_n and_o election_n sure_a we_o must_v frequent_o receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n what_o experience_a christian_n be_v there_o but_o he_o be_v able_a to_o tell_v you_o that_o the_o sacrament_n by_o god_n blessing_n have_v a_o notable_a confirm_v and_o establish_v power_n and_o therefore_o those_o negligent_a minister_n be_v guilty_a of_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o people_n in_o that_o they_o do_v not_o so_o frequent_o as_o they_o ought_v administer_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n three_o if_o we_o desire_v ☜_o our_o call_n and_o election_n to_o be_v make_v sure_a than_o we_o must_v pray_v unto_o god_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v increase_v our_o faith_n for_o unless_o god_n

which_o must_v give_v the_o increase_n of_o save_v grace_n four_o if_o we_o will_v ☜_o make_v our_o call_n and_o election_n sure_a we_o must_v meditate_v often_o of_o god_n promise_n and_o we_o must_v

for_o who_o have_v god_n promise_v to_o strengthen_v upon_o the_o bed_n of_o languish_v in_o psal_n 41._o 3._o but_o such_o as_o consider_v wise_o of_o the_o poor_a and_o who_o be_v they_o which_o
