and_o know_v not_o the_o day_n of_o my_o death_n lavater_n only_o i_o desire_v to_o provide_v for_o it_o and_o be_v always_o a_o ponder_a of_o it_o it_o be_v upon_o this_o account_n that_o joseph_n of_o arimathea_n build_v his_o own_o monument_n and_o barzillai_n when_o move_v by_o david_n to_o turn_v courtier_n and_o to_o go_v with_o he_o to_o jerusalem_n he_o humble_o beg_v a_o dismission_n

be_v fourscore_o year_n old_a he_o mind_v more_o to_o provide_v for_o death_n than_o to_o enjoy_v momentary_a courtly_a delight_n so_o old_a simeon_n wait_v for_o christ_n the_o consolation_n of_o
