be_v possible_a to_o prevent_v they_o their_o death_n be_v a_o plain_a prognostication_n of_o some_o evil_n to_o come_v and_o shall_v be_v as_o a_o trumpet_n to_o awaken_v other_o out_o of_o the_o sleep_n of_o sin_n many_o of_o the_o wicked_a rejoice_v when_o the_o godly_a be_v take_v away_o from_o they_o they_o love_v their_o room_n better_a than_o their_o company_n they_o hate_v they_o and_o their_o profession_n in_o their_o life_n time_n because_o as_o they_o say_v they_o be_v not_o for_o our_o profit_n and_o they_o be_v contrary_a to_o our_o do_n they_o check_v we_o for_o offend_v against_o the_o law_n it_o grieve_v we_o to_o look_v upon_o they_o for_o their_o life_n be_v not_o like_o other_o man_n and_o therefore_o at_o their_o death_n they_o be_v glad_a that_o they_o be_v rid_v of_o they_o when_o indeed_o they_o have_v great_a cause_n to_o howl_v and_o weep_v for_o the_o misery_n that_o shall_v come_v upon_o they_o the_o righteous_a need_v not_o to_o imitate_v the_o ungodly_a practice_n of_o herod_n who_o be_v ready_a to_o die_v and_o think_v that_o his_o death_n will_v be_v a_o great_a joy_n to_o many_o shut_v up_o in_o prison_n some_o nobleman_n in_o every_o town_n and_o require_v his_o sister_n salome_n and_o her_o husband_n alexa_n that_o so_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v dead_a they_o shall_v kill_v those_o nobleman_n and_o then_o all_o judea_n will_v lament_v his_o death_n the_o lord_n himself_o do_v often_o make_v the_o death_n of_o the_o righteous_a to_o be_v lament_v by_o send_v of_o extraordinary_a judgement_n immediate_o after_o their_o death_n when_o noah_n enter_v into_o the_o ark_n the_o world_n be_v drown_v with_o the_o flood_n when_o lot_n depart_v out_o of_o sodom_n it_o be_v burn_v with_o fire_n 2_o in_o this_o respect_n also_o the_o righteous_a have_v no_o cause_n to_o fear_v death_n but_o rather_o to_o desire_v it_o for_o what_o be_v it_o but_o a_o end_n of_o some_o trouble_n and_o a_o prevent_n of_o other_o they_o may_v with_o paul_n desire_v to_o be_v loose_v &_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n which_o be_v best_a of_o all_o it_o be_v true_a which_o solomon_n say_v that_o the_o day_n of_o a_o man_n death_n be_v better_a than_o the_o day_n of_o his_o birth_n for_o the_o day_n of_o a_o godly_a man_n birth_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o his_o misery_n but_o the_o day_n of_o his_o death_n be_v the_o end_n of_o his_o misery_n indeed_o the_o day_n of_o a_o wicked_a man_n death_n be_v the_o most_o woeful_a day_n that_o ever_o be●ell_v he_o for_o he_o be_v not_o take_v away_o from_o the_o evil_a to_o come_v but_o he_o be_v take_v unto_o evil_a to_o be_v torment_v in_o hell_n for_o evermore_o and_o therefore_o he_o fear_v death_n as_o much_o as_o a_o malefactor_n fear_v a_o sergeant_n that_o come_v to_o carry_v he_o to_o prison_n where_o he_o be_v like_a to_o abide_v till_o the_o day_n of_o execution_n that_o be_v true_a in_o they_o which_o the_o devil_n say_v skin_n for_o skin_n and_o all_o that_o ever_o a_o man_n have_v will_v he_o give_v for_o his_o life_n and_o as_o the_o gibeonite_n be_v content_v rather_o to_o be_v bondman_n &_o hewer_n of_o wood_n and_o drawer_n of_o water_n then_o to_o be_v kill_v by_o the_o israelite_n as_o other_o nation_n be_v so_o they_o have_v rather_o endure_v any_o kind_n of_o misery_n then_o to_o die_v as_o other_o do_v because_o they_o fear_v a_o worse_a estate_n after_o death_n and_o therefore_o must_v be_v pull_v from_o the_o earth_n with_o as_o great_a violence_n as_o joab_n be_v pull_v from_o the_o horn_n of_o the_o altar_n unto_o which_o he_o have_v flee_v as_o to_o a_o place_n of_o refuge_n but_o the_o godly_a know_v what_o a_o happy_a exchange_n they_o make_v by_o death_n they_o desire_v to_o die_v so_o soon_o as_o it_o please_v the_o lord_n indeed_o none_o ought_v for_o the_o end_n of_o present_a calamity_n or_o prevent_v of_o future_a misery_n to_o shorten_v their_o own_o day_n as_o saul_n do_v by_o fall_v on_o his_o own_o sword_n nor_o yet_o for_o the_o present_a enjoy_n of_o eternal_a happiness_n procure_v their_o own_o death_n as_o cleombrotus_n do_v who_o read_v plato_n his_o book_n of_o the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n cast_v himself_o headlong_o from_o a_o wall_n that_o he_o may_v change_v this_o life_n for_o a_o better_a he_o only_o who_o give_v life_n must_v take_v it_o away_o and_o the_o lord_n may_v say_v to_o such_o i_o will_v receive_v no_o soul_n which_o against_o my_o will_n have_v go_v out_o of_o the_o body_n the_o philosopher_n which_o do_v so_o be_v martyr_n of_o foolish_a philosophy_n yet_o see_v that_o death_n free_v the_o righteous_a from_o present_a and_o future_a misery_n they_o may_v be_v most_o willing_a to_o die_v so_o soon_o as_o the_o lord_n call_v for_o they_o and_o when_o death_n approach_v may_v say_v with_o simeon_n lord_n now_o let_v thou_o thy_o servant_n depart_v in_o peace_n 3_o last_o in_o this_o respect_n we_o must_v learn_v not_o to_o mourn_v immoderate_o for_o the_o death_n of_o the_o righteous_a though_o we_o receive_v great_a comfort_n and_o enjoy_v some_o benefit_n by_o they_o while_o they_o be_v alive_a as_o i_o do_v by_o my_o late_a master_n sir_n james_n cambel_n yet_o see_v that_o death_n be_v a_o advantage_n unto_o they_o we_o shall_v ●ee_n content_v patient_o to_o bear_v our_o own_o loss_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o great_a gain_n if_o two_o friend_n shall_v lie_v in_o prison_n together_o or_o shall_v dwell_v together_o in_o a_o strange_a country_n where_o both_o of_o they_o be_v hardly_o use_v be_v many_o way_n injure_v endure_v great_a want_n and_o sustain_v much_o misery_n though_o they_o love_v one_o another_o dear_o and_o the_o one_o be_v a_o he●pe_n and_o comfort_n to_o the_o other_o yet_o if_o the_o one_o shall_v be_v take_v from_o the_o other_o and_o bring_v to_o his_o chief_a friend_n and_o among_o they_o be_v not_o only_o free_v from_o all_o such_o misery_n as_o before_o he_o have_v endure_v but_o also_o be_v advance_v to_o great_a preferment_n will_v the_o other_o which_o be_v leave_v behind_o he_o be_v discontent_v at_o it_o will_v he_o not_o rather_o wish_v himself_o to_o be_v there_o with_o he_o in_o the_o like_a then_o desire_v that_o either_o he_o have_v stay_v with_o he_o or_o may_v return_v again_o this_o our_o life_n be_v as_o a_o prison_n or_o strange_a country_n in_o

as_o they_o be_v man_n bring_v up_o under_o one_o civil_a government_n in_o law_n and_o religion_n with_o we_o and_o in_o the_o three_o pipe_n run_v that_o natural_a love_n wherewith_o we_o love_v our_o kindred_n or_o friend_n as_o they_o be_v of_o the_o blood_n or_o to_o who_o we_o be_v bind_v by_o some_o special_a obligation_n of_o amity_n to_o let_v the_o humane_a and_o civil_a love_n run_v out_o as_o man_n be_v please_v to_o convey_v it_o forth_o from_o the_o fountain_n of_o their_o heart_n i_o will_v only_o fix_v my_o meditation_n upon_o this_o natural_a love_n and_o of_o that_o i_o will_v not_o write_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o love_n of_o parent_n to_o their_o child_n or_o brother_n to_o brother_n etc._n etc._n although_o i_o know_v their_o love_n may_v be_v very_o great_a but_o i_o will_v only_o insist_v to_o write_v what_o that_o natural_a love_n be_v wherewith_o a_o man_n be_v affect_v to_o a_o woman_n and_o herein_o i_o will_v not_o be_v understand_v to_o mean_v that_o lustful_a love_n which_o be_v common_o cover_v under_o this_o title_n although_o experience_n show_v that_o it_o be_v very_o powerful_a in_o who_o heart_n soever_o it_o be_v kindle_v and_o be_v a_o rage_a passion_n as_o all_o love_n be_v if_o it_o be_v not_o keep_v in_o as_o fire_n within_o the_o chimney_n &_o the_o sea_n within_o his_o bound_n it_o be_v a_o foolish_a madness_n a_o labyrinth_n of_o error_n and_o a_o miserable_a thraldom_n before_o it_o can_v be_v obtain_v but_o if_o the_o lover_n do_v fulfil_v his_o desire_n what_o have_v he_o get_v but_o a_o rack_n to_o his_o mind_n a_o torture_n to_o his_o soul_n a_o gibbet_n to_o his_o conscience_n a_o stain_n to_o his_o reputation_n and_o a_o please_a yet_o fatal_a poison_n this_o breed_v a_o consumption_n in_o his_o purse_n rottenness_n in_o his_o bone_n and_o a_o blot_n in_o his_o good_a name_n but_o if_o this_o love_n be_v in_o the_o lawful_a way_n of_o marriage_n as_o this_o kind_n be_v seldom_o to_o that_o effect_n then_o if_o the_o lover_n do_v make_v his_o choice_n only_o for_o the_o beauty_n of_o the_o body_n without_o any_o respect_n to_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o mind_n he_o may_v find_v one_o that_o may_v

a_o one_o that_o will_v make_v he_o a_o scoff_a stock_n to_o the_o world_n by_o cunning_a plant_n upon_o his_o head_n actaeon_n livery_n thus_o for_o pleasure_n he_o get_v misery_n and_o for_o a_o beautiful_a outside_n embrace_v a_o snake_n in_o his_o bosom_n poison_n in_o his_o meat_n and_o gall_n in_o his_o drink_n again_o i_o will_v not_o be_v understand_v to_o mean_v that_o covetous_a desire_n which_o be_v also_o common_o clothe_v with_o this_o title_n and_o in_o these_o day_n chief_o embrace_v when_o a_o man_n do_v only_o choose_v a_o wife_n for_o riches_n although_o he_o can_v like_v her_o person_n much_o less_o love_v she_o such_o may_v meet_v with_o one_o that_o may_v fulfil_v his_o desire_n with_o wealth_n but_o common_o she_o prove_v a_o scold_a xantippe_n one_o that_o will_v be_v always_o scold_v rail_a and_o taunt_a he_o and_o with_o who_o he_o shall_v never_o live_v one_o quiet_a hour_n thus_o for_o a_o little_a wealth_n he_o be_v always_o pinch_v with_o a_o

i_o purpose_v to_o describe_v for_o this_o be_v carnal_a earthly_a and_o sinful_a but_o the_o other_o be_v natural_a honest_a and_o commendable_a which_o be_v a_o honest_a desire_n of_o the_o
