so_o allay_v and_o so_o near_o to_o the_o late_a state_n of_o death_n from_o which_o they_o be_v recover_v that_o god_n only_o know_v how_o thing_n be_v with_o they_o yet_o because_o we_o know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o beginning_n in_o which_o new_a convert_n be_v true_o reconcile_v there_o be_v a_o first_o period_n of_o life_n and_o as_o we_o can_v say_v in_o many_o case_n that_o this_o be_v

not_o to_o give_v to_o they_o these_o divine_a mystery_n whoever_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n may_v be_v reconcile_v to_o the_o church_n who_o office_n it_o be_v only_o to_o declare_v the_o divine_a

that_o he_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n that_o if_o he_o than_o die_v he_o shall_v be_v save_v than_o a_o man_n himself_o can_v be_v of_o himself_o and_o in_o his_o own_o case_n which_o certain_o he_o know_v better_a than_o any_o man_n else_o and_o that_o our_o degree_n of_o hope_n and_o confidence_n of_o be_v save_v when_o it_o be_v not_o

of_o mortification_n and_o spiritual_a life_n and_o every_o man_n that_o be_v wise_a and_o prudent_a abide_v in_o fear_n and_o uncertain_a thought_n till_o he_o have_v get_v a_o certain_a victory_n

because_o the_o reception_n of_o the_o sacrament_n in_o worthy_a disposition_n do_v increase_v those_o excellency_n in_o which_o death_n ought_v to_o find_v we_o and_o therefore_o we_o may_v desire_v

unto_o he_o the_o best_a and_o severe_a person_n do_v in_o the_o great_a part_n of_o their_o spiritual_a life_n complain_v of_o their_o imperfect_a state_n and_o feel_v the_o load_n of_o their_o sin_n
