thou_o can_v not_o but_o conclude_v albeit_o thou_o have_v no_o other_o teacher_n as_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n or_o the_o light_n of_o conscience_n but_o that_o the_o end_n of_o thy_o own_o

thou_o can_v not_o have_v such_o a_o base_a estimation_n but_o that_o thou_o must_v give_v account_n of_o thy_o service_n and_o the_o good_a servant_n will_v often_o meditate_v the_o day_n and_o

for_o all_o beast_n whatsoever_o have_v a_o kind_n of_o fear_n and_o will_v avoid_v if_o they_o can_v any_o pain_n or_o torment_n therefore_o have_v some_o fear_n of_o thyself_o else_o what_o shall_v

prolong_v some_o hundred_o year_n yet_o we_o see_v by_o daily_a experience_n how_o death_n without_o exception_n and_o expectation_n of_o many_o do_v violent_o compel_v all_o estate_n young_a and_o old_a unto_o this_o account_n so_o that_o no_o man_n be_v certain_a of_o the_o end_n of_o his_o life_n but_o what_o shall_v i_o say_v this_o death_n be_v so_o commoun_n little_o fear_v and_o nothing_o regard_v also_o that_o worldly_a man_n promise_v unto_o themselves_o length_n of_o day_n and_o time_n of_o repentance_n before_o death_n come_v the_o young_a man_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o youth_n and_o ability_n will_v dream_v of_o a_o long_a life_n and_o yet_o often_o cut_v off_o before_o he_o expect_v the_o old_a man_n go_v in_o the_o brinck_n of_o his_o grave_n do_v promise_n himself_o no_o sudden_a death_n and_o the_o time_n of_o his_o repentance_n to_o come_v soon_o enough_o in_o respect_n god_n be_v merciful_a and_o yet_o before_o that_o ever_o he_o expect_v he_o be_v so_o choke_v and_o cruel_o beset_v and_o environ_v lykewayes_o with_o the_o pang_n of_o death_n that_o in_o no_o manner_n of_o way_n once_o be_v he_o able_a to_o meditate_v upon_o repentance_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o sudden_a sorrow_n and_o of_o the_o cruel_a passion_n of_o death_n which_o mighty_o ever-whelmeth_a the_o whole_a body_n of_o he_o in_o a_o eye_n blink_v yea_o in_o a_o very_a moment_n of_o time_n and_o dryve_v the_o soul_n by_o violence_n out_o of_o the_o body_n unto_o the_o maker_n thereof_o and_o there_o for_o to_o render_v account_n of_o its_o do_n whether_o it_o have_v be_v good_a
