A93737	Divine arithmetick illustrated in the right and exact numbering of our days, or, A discourse of the near and continued approaches of death unto every one whatsoever with the same inference and application which the apostle in I Cor. 15 makes from and alike subject, that the knowledge and consideration of these things should exhort people to be stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord / by Richard Stafford.

from_o within_o myself_o ever_o since_o i_o be_v a_o child_n and_o have_v the_o least_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a that_o there_o be_v another_o life_n and_o another_o state_n which_o
