shall_v see_v and_o know_v to_o be_v most_o needful_a and_o profitable_a for_o we_o 11._o last_o consider_v and_o consider_v it_o with_o comfort_n how_o death_n if_o it_o shall_v follow_v sickness_n will_v deliver_v we_o from_o a_o weak_a frail_a corruptible_a body_n which_o be_v but_o a_o live_a prison_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o a_o lively_a instrument_n of_o sin_n and_o how_o death_n do_v set_v we_o free_a to_o enjoy_v the_o liberty_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o glory_n to_o conclude_v if_o we_o love_v holiness_n when_o it_o be_v compass_v about_o with_o many_o suffering_n and_o persecution_n god_n will_v take_v notice_n of_o our_o patience_n and_o other_o our_o grace_n though_o compass_v about_o with_o many_o infirmity_n the_o lord_n will_v take_v notice_n of_o a_o little_a of_o his_o
