the_o day_n of_o death_n when_o yet_o this_o comfort_n may_v be_v not_o a_o work_n of_o grace_n but_o of_o mere_a nature_n thus_o when_o we_o see_v a_o man_n distrust_v himself_o in_o the_o day_n of_o

in_o rest_n and_o peace_n of_o conscience_n at_o that_o time_n death_n now_o there_o be_v three_o reason_n that_o may_v move_v a_o man_n to_o prepare_v himself_o for_o the_o day_n of_o death_n reason_v 1_o first_o because_o of_o the_o uncertainty_n of_o death_n uncertain_a i_o say_v both_o in_o regard_n of_o time_n place_n manner_z for_o though_o we_o all_o know_v that_o we_o must_v die_v that_o no_o man_n can_v escape_v or_o avoid_v it_o yet_o be_v these_o other_o circumstance_n of_o our_o death_n only_o know_v unto_o god_n wherefore_o because_o nothing_o more_o certain_a than_o that_o we_o must_v die_v and_o nothing_o so_o uncertain_a as_o time_n place_n and_o manner_n it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n always_o to_o be_v prepare_v for_o it_o do_v and_o order_v of_o our_o affair_n betimes_o as_o good_a old_a isaac_n say_v in_o this_o case_n to_o his_o son_n esau_n gen._n 27._o 1._o 2._o 2._o behold_v now_o i_o be_o old_a and_o know_v not_o the_o day_n of_o my_o death_n

dailly_fw-fr while_o it_o be_v call_v to_o day_n do_v what_o good_a we_o can_v repent_v we_o of_o our_o sin_n delay_v no_o good_a we_o be_v able_a to_o do_v to_o ourselves_o or_o other_o say_v to_o friend_n child_n and_o acquaintance_n o_o my_o time_n be_v uncertain_a therefore_o remember_v this_o and_o this_o do_v this_o and_o this_o etc._n etc._n thus_o must_v we_o prepare_v for_o death_n there_o be_v none_o among_o we_o i_o know_v but_o if_o he_o have_v a_o intent_n to_o build_v a_o house_n will_v sure_o make_v preparation_n for_o it_o building_n before_o hand_n as_o timber_n brick_n

ourselves_o to_o fit_v ourselves_o for_o it_o by_o earnest_a prayer_n faith_n patience_n obedience_n etc._n etc._n because_o as_o i_o say_v we_o be_v uncertain_a of_o the_o time_n whether_o to_o day_n or_o to_o morrow_n young_a or_o old_a this_o year_n or_o the_o next_o whether_o in_o the_o day_n or_o the_o night_n whether_o in_o the_o house_n or_o the_o field_n whether_o among_o our_o friend_n

uncertain_a therefore_o we_o must_v prepare_v for_o death_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o certain_a uncertainty_n thereof_o reason_n 2_o a_o second_o reason_n to_o move_v we_o to_o this_o preparation_n be_v because_o we_o can_v die_v but_o once_o and_o that_o which_o can_v but_o once_o be_v do_v have_v need_n to_o be_v well_o do_v so_o the_o author_n to_o the_o hebrew_n say_v heb._n 9_o 27._o it_o be_v appoint_v for_o man_n once_o to_o 27._o die_v and_o after_o that_o come_v judgement_n so_o because_o we_o can_v die_v but_o once_o we_o shall_v be_v very_o careful_a to_o do_v it_o well_o see_v if_o it_o be_v â—ll_o do_v it_o can_v never_o be_v mend_v again_o in_o all_o other_o thing_n if_o a_o man_n do_v amiss_o at_o first_o he_o may_v repair_v it_o afterward_o but_o only_o in_o this_o matter_n of_o death_n there_o be_v no_o amendment_n no_o redemption_n afterward_o if_o a_o man_n shoot_v a_o arrow_n at_o a_o mark_n if_o in_o the_o first_o aim_n you_o tell_v shot_n he_o what_o his_o fault_n be_v that_o he_o be_v over_o or_o under_o or_o wide_a he_o may_v mend_v it_o the_o next_o time_n or_o the_o next_o after_o that_o but_o in_o death_n it_o be_v not_o so_o once_o amiss_o and_o ever_o undo_v therefore_o be_v careful_a to_o die_v well_o see_v it_o be_v but_o once_o to_o be_v do_v reason_n 3_o the_o three_o reason_n be_v the_o remediless_a state_n after_o death_n for_o look_v how_o death_n leave_v a_o man_n so_o shall_v judgement_n find_v he_o as_o long_o as_o a_o man_n be_v alive_a here_o upon_o earth_n there_o be_v hope_n that_o he_o may_v be_v convert_v repent_v of_o his_o sin_n and_o be_v bring_v before_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n but_o if_o a_o man_n be_v once_o dead_a and_o lay_v in_o the_o dust_n than_o he_o can_v never_o attain_v to_o repentance_n for_o his_o sin_n faith_n in_o the_o promise_n nor_o unto_o one_o sanctify_a grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n though_o he_o will_v give_v a_o thousand_o world_n if_o he_o have_v they_o therefore_o every_o man_n wisdom_n must_v be_v to_o prepare_v for_o death_n before_o it_o come_v according_a to_o that_o counsel_n of_o eccles._n 9_o 10._o whatsoever_o thy_o hand_n find_v to_o do_v do_v it_o with_o all_o thy_o might_n for_o there_o be_v 10._o neither_o work_n nor_o device_n nor_o wisdom_n in_o the_o grave_n whither_o thou_o go_v now_o this_o preparation_n to_o death_n stand_v in_o five_o duty_n preparation_n first_o a_o man_n of_o understanding_n must_v furnish_v himself_o with_o those_o grace_n and_o duty_n that_o be_v most_o needful_a at_o the_o day_n of_o death_n he_o must_v labour_v for_o faith_n and_o patience_n and_o obedience_n with_o other_o holy_a grace_n of_o god_n for_o he_o can_v then_o spare_v any_o grace_n but_o these_o three_o a_o man_n shall_v find_v more_o especial_a need_n of_o when_o he_o come_v to_o die_v therefore_o as_o noah_n make_v a_o ark_n to_o save_v himself_o and_o his_o household_n from_o ark_n the_o flood_n before_o it_o come_v so_o must_v every_o man_n before_o death_n come_v labour_v to_o save_v and_o secure_v himself_o that_o he_o may_v have_v a_o place_n of_o shelter_n in_o the_o day_n of_o death_n wherefore_o if_o a_o man_n will_v die_v well_o he_o must_v first_o come_v to_o live_v well_o for_o questionless_a as_o a_o man_n live_v so_o be_v he_o likely_a to_o die_v if_o a_o man_n look_v upon_o a_o tree_n when_o it_o be_v a_o fell_n he_o may_v give_v a_o shrewd_a fell_v guess_n where_o it_o will_v fall_v for_o look_v where_o the_o great_a burden_n of_o bough_n hang_v or_o grow_v that_o way_n common_o the_o tree_n will_v fall_v and_o even_o so_o look_v which_o way_n a_o man_n thought_n &_o affection_n carry_v he_o in_o the_o course_n of_o his_o life_n the_o very_a same_o inclination_n will_v sway_v he_o at_o the_o hour_n of_o his_o death_n therefore_o a_o man_n must_v prepare_v to_o furnish_v himself_o with_o abundance_n of_o holy_a grace_n that_o they_o may_v oversway_v he_o in_o his_o lose_n from_o earth_n to_o

ourselves_o against_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n by_o consider_v the_o comfortable_a state_n which_o follow_v after_o death_n for_o
christ_n have_v quite_o alter_v and_o change_v the_o nature_n thereof_o so_o that_o whereas_o before_o death_n and_o hell_n by_o mean_n of_o our_o sin_n be_v chain_v together_o to_o swallow_v we_o
