we_o 8._o because_o at_o death_n vow_n be_v to_o no_o purpose_n we_o ought_v to_o make_v and_o accomplish_v they_o during_o life_n the_o occasion_n of_o well-doing_n be_v not_o always_o prefent_a though_o the_o season_n be_v order_v as_o well_o as_o the_o day_n and_o night_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o life_n because_o the_o moment_n thereof_o succeed_v one_o to_o another_o without_o have_v so_o much_o as_o one_o assure_v 9_o the_o mere_a necessity_n of_o die_v do_v persuade_v wiseman_n to_o work_v out_o their_o own_o salvation_n while_o it_o be_v day_n without_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o any_o other_o clock_n to_o mark_v the_o hour_n of_o their_o work_n 10._o wise_a man_n do_v never_o sorrow_n for_o their_o life_n past_a because_o they_o live_v only_o to_o die_v and_o though_o the_o time_n to_o come_v be_v not_o they_o yet_o they_o dispose_v of_o it_o before_o hand_n to_o their_o own_o advantage_n in_o the_o resolution_n they_o be_v always_o to_o employ_v it_o well_o 11._o life_n have_v nothing_o that_o be_v its_o own_o but_o death_n all_o the_o good_n which_o it_o enjoy_v be_v imaginary_a because_o they_o subsist_v only_o in_o the_o fancy_n and_o see_v that_o subsistence_n depend_v of_o time_n and_o fortune_n if_o this_o take_v away_o from_o we_o the_o use_n of_o it_o that_o can_v limit_v the_o continuance_n thereof_o 12._o he_o be_v happy_a upon_o

of_o a_o long_a life_n because_o as_o we_o must_v give_v a_o account_n of_o all_o our_o day_n past_a see_v they_o be_v present_a with_o god_n either_o to_o justify_v or_o condemn_v they_o so_o the_o

and_o see_v that_o all_o wise_a man_n prepare_v themselves_o to_o make_v it_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o reason_n he_o must_v needs_o be_v quite_o deprive_v of_o reason_n who_o be_v

go_v about_o our_o mission_n as_o soon_o as_o we_o be_v bear_v in_o the_o path_n which_o we_o hold_v it_o be_v enough_o that_o reason_n be_v our_o lantern_n and_o duty_n our_o guide_n to_o keep_v we_o from_o go_v astray_o without_o measure_v the_o pace_n of_o our_o race_n 17._o although_o we_o do_v but_o pass_v away_o here_o below_o yet_o every_o man_n may_v work_v out_o his_o own_o salvation_n here_o in_o pass_v all_o consist_v in_o the_o employ_v well_o the_o time_n allow_v we_o without_o be_v solicitous_a for_o more_o or_o less_o a_o good_a life_n be_v always_o long_o though_o it_o

the_o wise_a man_n never_o search_v in_o vain_a for_o his_o repose_n be_v in_o his_o memory_n 19_o see_v that_o the_o way_n which_o we_o be_v to_o hold_v in_o our_o life_n be_v mark_v out_o let_v we_o

of_o their_o crime_n chap._n xv._o that_o the_o wise_a man_n wait_v for_o death_n without_o either_o wish_a or_o fear_v it_o 1._o he_o that_o wish_v for_o death_n have_v cause_n to_o fear_v it_o because_o the_o guilt_n of_o his_o desire_n prepare_v his_o punishment_n as_o we_o be_v bear_v here_o below_o by_o a_o secret_a order_n of_o providence_n so_o this_o alone_a can_v sound_v our_o

a_o new_a evil_n far_o more_o painful_a than_o that_o which_o we_o be_v to_o incur_v and_o if_o in_o these_o encounter_n nature_n overcome_v reason_n we_o ought_v to_o implore_v the_o help_n of_o grace_n because_o it_o triumph_v always_o 3._o death_n fright_v none_o but_o the_o wicked_a not_o but_o that_o the_o godly_a do_v fear_v it_o but_o their_o hope_n be_v strong_a than_o their_o fear_n the_o one_o be_v diminish_v by_o the_o growth_n of_o the_o other_o 4._o wise_a christian_n do_v never_o dispute_v with_o providence_n they_o undergo_v the_o law_n thereof_o without_o repine_v and_o how_o rigorous_a soever_o they_o be_v see_v there_o be_v more_o glory_n in_o suffer_v than_o in_o complain_v they_o beg_v for_o constancy_n in_o their_o distress_n rather_o than_o for_o comfort_n 5._o

know_v the_o contempt_n we_o ought_v to_o have_v of_o it_o 6._o a_o good_a life_n be_v always_o long_o how_o short_a soever_o it_o be_v and_o see_v the_o great_a hero_n reckon_v their_o year_n by_o their_o heroic_a act_n the_o wise_a christian_n ought_v to_o keep_v a_o account_n of_o his_o age_n by_o the_o good_a he_o do_v 7._o although_o we_o be_v bear_v here_o below_o unwitting_a to_o we_o we_o have_v liberty_n to_o live_v here_o as_o we_o please_v but_o see_v that_o we_o must_v give_v a_o account_n of_o our_o life_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v good_a husband_n of_o time_n for_o it_o

the_o horror_n and_o as_o experience_n can_v choose_v but_o be_v profitable_a to_o you_o so_o the_o profit_n you_o shall_v receive_v by_o it_o will_v far_o surpass_v the_o pain_n you_o shall_v take_v
