of_o the_o dust_n to_o glory_n at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o as_o the_o death_n of_o a_o saint_n be_v precious_a to_o god_n so_o it_o be_v very_o gainful_a and_o advantageous_a to_o the_o saint_n himself_o for_o 1._o it_o separate_v he_o from_o all_o his_o sin_n corruption_n impurity_n imperfection_n from_o his_o body_n of_o death_n 2._o from_o this_o vile_a and_o wicked_a world_n as_o the_o

when_o god_n take_v away_o his_o soul_n now_o he_o hope_v he_o be_v in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n but_o when_o god_n by_o death_n separate_v his_o soul_n from_o his_o body_n he_o separate_v he_o also_o from_o all_o his_o hope_n these_o dye_n with_o he_o and_o he_o and_o his_o hope_n of_o be_v in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n perish_v together_o prov._n 11._o 7._o 7._o prov._n 11._o 7._o 2._o death_n
