forsooth_o y_fw-fr e_fw-it in_o no_o case_n they_o can_v abide_v to_o visit_v the_o sick_a neither_o by_o day_n nor_o by_o night_n but_o in_o my_o judgement_n it_o be_v as_o incident_a to_o their_o

exhortation_n admonition_n and_o consolation_n out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n may_v easy_o be_v withdraw_v from_o his_o former_a wicked_a life_n and_o die_v in_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n with_o

true_a repentance_n for_o his_o sin_n to_o fore_o commit_v live_v for_o ever_o in_o joy_n both_o of_o body_n &_o soul_n whereas_o if_o exhortation_n have_v not_o be_v he_o may_v happy_o have_v die_v irrepentant_a or_o utter_o desperate_a to_o his_o everlasting_a destruction_n for_o ever_o yea_o it_o be_v common_o see_v that_o those_o who_o can_v never_o be_v win_v to_o christ_n jesus_n all_o the_o day_n of_o their_o life_n before_o yet_o at_o the_o last_o hour_n they_o be_v soon_o recover_v therefore_o ought_v not_o the_o pastor_n to_o neglect_v their_o duty_n therein_o but_o wary_o and_o
