to_o be_v give_v for_o this_o for_o 1._o death_n be_v a_o great_a enemy_n to_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n and_o even_o the_o dissolution_n of_o it_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v in_o all_o man_n natural_o some_o fear_n of_o it_o such_o as_o have_v be_v long_o and_o inward_a and_o dear_a friend_n can_v part_v for_o adieu_o as_o we_o say_v without_o much_o unwillingness_n and_o expression_n

servant_n though_o they_o know_v and_o believe_v that_o when_o they_o die_v they_o shall_v not_o come_v into_o condemnation_n as_o our_o saviour_n speak_v john_n 5._o 24._o but_o be_v already_o pass_v

that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o have_v lead_v a_o godly_a life_n but_o 1._o he_o discern_v and_o bewail_v his_o own_o corruption_n in_o this_o his_o unwillingness_n to_o die_v he_o yield_v not_o to_o it_o but_o strive_v against_o it_o by_o all_o mean_n and_o even_o in_o this_o case_n find_v in_o himself_o that_o combat_n between_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n that_o the_o apostle_n
