uncertain_a so_o that_o in_o such_o uncertente_a a_o man_n can_v not_o promise_v himself_o that_o he_o shall_v live_v but_o one_o moment_n of_o a_o hour_n a_o great_a deal_n less_o a_o day_n or_o

thou_o for_o death_n in_o every_o place_n and_o at_o all_o time_n in_o this_o wise_a i_o will_v conclude_v then_o that_o the_o short_a and_o uncertener_n man_n life_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o shall_v we_o repent_v and_o refourme_v our_o lyve_n while_o we_o have_v yet_o tyme._n ¶_o the_o second_o remedy_n now_o to_o say_v some_o thing_n in_o the_o second_o cause_n we_o shall_v not_o in_o any_o wise_a differre_fw-la the_o reformation_n of_o our_o life_n for_o that_o hope_n &_o trust_v which_o we_o have_v in_o the_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n christ_n come_v to_o call_v

the_o repentaunt_a &_o not_o the_o obstinate_a in_o sin_n christ_n bear_v our_o sin_n on_o his_o own_o body_n to_o the_o cross_n as_o peter_n say_v i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o what_o follow_v that_o we_o mortifyenge_a our_o flesh_n shall_v live_v to_o ryghtuousnes_n christ_n give_v himself_o for_o we_o as_o paul_n remember_v unto_o titum_fw-la i_o deny_v not_o but_o what_o do_v immediate_o follow_v that_o he_o may_v redeem_v we_o from_o our_o sin_n &_o pourge_v a_o choose_a people_n for_o himself_o to_o do_v good_a work_n christ_n pourge_v we_o by_o his_o blood_n shed_v from_o sin_n as_o john_n declare_v in_o his_o revelation_n i_o grant_v that_o to_o but_o not_o that_o we_o shall_v pollute_v ourself_o again_o with_o the_o fylthynes_n of_o sin_v we_o have_v christ_n our_o

enough_o here_o after_o bewail_v my_o synnefull_a life_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v how_o know_v thou_o that_o thou_o shall_v live_v but_o a_o moment_n much_o less_o can_v thou_o have_v ●ope_n to_o live_v untyll_o thou_o may_v repent_v and_o refourme_v thy_o lyve_n consider_v with_o thyself_o what_o the_o lord_n say_v to_o the_o rich_a man_n in_o the_o gospel_n that_o in_o prosperity_n promise_v himself_o many_o year_n to_o live_v o_o fool_n they_o shall_v require_v this_o night_n thy_o soul_n of_o the._n thou_o haste_v need_n to_o take_v head_n least_o the_o same_o chance_n also_o to_o

god_n prohibit_v thou_o shall_v perish_v and_o wilful_o cast_v thyself_o into_o everla_a destruction_n this_o thou_o will_v not_o again_o say_v but_o that_o in_o such_o uncertenty_n of_o life_n it_o may_v well_o come_v to_o pass_v what_o folly_n then_o be_v it_o by_o dilayenge_a to_o put_v that_o thing_n on_o syx_n and_o seven_o which_o at_o the_o first_o thou_o myghteste_a provyde_v for_o without_o all_o danger_n why_o do_v thou_o not_o repent_v betimes_o rather_o than_o hope_v thus_o with_o such_o ieoperdy_o thou_o will_v say_v to_o i_o god_n be_v merciful_a truth_n it_o be_v but_o he_o be_v also_o just_a then_o since_o that_o thou_o trust_v so_o much_o in_o his_o mercy_n why_o fear_v thou_o not_o likewise_o his_o justice_n the_o lord_n speak_v by_o his_o prophet_n semblable_o i_o will_v not_o the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n well_o but_o what_o follow_v that_o he_o be_v convert_v &_o live_v therefore_o be_v convert_v unto_o the_o lord_n as_o joell_n exort_v the_o with_o

convert_v unto_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o host_n because_o he_o be_v great_a in_o mercy_n the_o prophet_n declare_v that_o god_n be_v good_a and_o merciful_a but_o to_o the_o repentaunt_a those_o that_o acknowledge_v &_o confess_v their_o sin_n therefore_o first_o repent_v return_n again_o unto_o health_n require_v forgyvenes_n of_o thy_o sin_n with_o bitter_a tear_n and_o weap_a be_v offend_v and_o displease_v with_o thy_o sin_n even_o with_o all_o thin_a heart_n forsake_v thy_o former_a path_n be_v convert_v unto_o the_o lord_n god_n and_o then_o thou_o may_v undoubtedlye_o conceyve_v a_o

those_o thou_o hate_v lord_n which_o work_n iniquity_n and_o thy_o countenance_n be_v fix_v on_o the_o which_o do_v evyll_n a_o man_n will_v peradventure_o say_v to_o i_o that_o john_n affirm_v that_o

and_o again_o who_o so_o say_v that_o he_o know_v god_n and_o keep_v not_o his_o commandment_n be_v a_o liar_n but_o thou_o will_v say_v that_o johan_n the_o baptist_n testify_v this_o thing_n of_o
