recover_v of_o some_o chronical_a disease_n blame_v their_o health_n not_o the_o remainder_n of_o their_o distemper_n as_o the_o cause_n of_o their_o last_o pain_n and_o grief_n what_o be_v it_o to_o be_v dead_a but_o only_o to_o be_v no_o long_o in_o this_o world_n and_o be_v that_o so_o calamitous_a a_o matter_n do_v we_o never_o feel_v any_o pain_n nor_o undergo_v any_o trouble_n whilst_o we_o be_v in_o the_o world_n be_v we_o ever_o more_o like_a to_o dead_a man_n than_o when_o we_o be_v fast_o asleep_a and_o yet_o we_o never_o enjoy_v more_o rest_n and_o quiet_a than_o when_o we_o be_v so_o if_o therefore_o we_o be_v free_a from_o trouble_n and_o sorrow_n whilst_o we_o sleep_v why_o then_o do_v we_o impute_v those_o pain_n we_o suffer_v when_o the_o soul_n leave_v the_o body_n to_o death_n which_o ought_v rather_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o life_n from_o whence_o they_o proceed_v unless_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n we_o foolish_o accuse_v that_o time_n in_o which_o we_o be_v not_o for_o those_o pain_n which_o we_o endure_v at_o our_o entrance_n into_o life_n but_o if_o no_o man_n can_v enter_v into_o life_n without_o pain_n why_o shall_v it_o seem_v strange_a that_o the_o end_n shall_v be_v answerable_a to_o the_o beginning_n if_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o our_o generation_n we_o weave_v the_o web_n of_o sorrow_n no_o wonder_n if_o in_o like_a manner_n we_o finish_v the_o same_o if_o in_o that_o time_n when_o we_o be_v not_o we_o be_v void_a of_o grief_n and_o trouble_n but_o now_o that_o we_o see_v the_o light_n we_o find_v ourselves_o encompass_v with_o they_o and_o assault_v by_o they_o on_o every_o side_n whether_o of_o these_o period_n shall_v we_o accuse_v for_o they_o whether_o that_o time_n in_o which_o we_o be_v not_o or_o that_o in_o which_o we_o be_v and_o shall_v be_v we_o never_o think_v we_o shall_v die_v till_o we_o find_v our_o breath_n fail_v we_o but_o if_o we_o will_v right_o consider_v the_o matter_n we_o shall_v find_v ourselves_o die_v every_o day_n every_o hour_n yea_o every_o moment_n we_o look_v upon_o death_n as_o some_o unusual_a thing_n when_o as_o we_o carry_v nothing_o about_o with_o we_o which_o be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v

the_o present_a live_v but_o be_v die_v and_o that_o which_o be_v to_o come_v shall_v certain_o fall_v under_o the_o power_n of_o death_n whatsoever_o be_v past_a be_v not_o that_o to_o come_v be_v not_o as_o yet_o and_o the_o present_a be_v but_o in_o a_o moment_n be_v no_o more_o in_o a_o word_n our_o whole_a life_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o kind_n of_o death_n life_n be_v like_o a_o

some_o indeed_o there_o be_v in_o who_o it_o be_v preserve_v whole_a and_o entire_a to_o the_o last_o but_o howsoever_o it_o be_v what_o quanity_n of_o light_n soever_o it_o give_v by_o the_o same_o

be_v the_o life_n of_o man_n for_o in_o he_o to_o live_v and_o die_v be_v the_o same_o thing_n but_o if_o we_o call_v our_o last_o breath_n by_o the_o name_n of_o death_n we_o can_v deny_v the_o

that_o so_o long_o as_o that_o last_v it_o daily_o supply_v we_o with_o new_a matter_n of_o die_v but_o when_o that_o be_v end_v there_o be_v a_o end_n of_o we_o too_o we_o be_v no_o long_o in_o this_o world_n this_o at_o length_n be_v confess_v by_o all_o that_o those_o who_o believe_v death_n to_o be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o their_o labour_n and_o travel_n have_v no_o handle_n for_o fear_n to_o take_v hold_v on_o whosoever_o be_v desirous_a of_o a_o long_a life_n be_v also_o desirous_a of_o a_o long_a death_n and_o he_o who_o fear_v lest_o death_n shall_v come_v too_o sudden_o upon_o he_o fear_v also_o to_o be_v too_o soon_o rid_v of_o that_o which_o occasion_v death_n but_o to_o those_o who_o walk_v by_o more_o holy_a rule_n death_n be_v quite_o another_o thing_n for_o they_o do_v not_o like_o the_o heathen_n seek_v for_o consolation_n against_o death_n but_o embrace_v it_o as_o a_o most_o certain_a remedy_n against_o all_o kind_n of_o affliction_n nor_o do_v they_o study_v how_o they_o may_v despise_v it_o or_o at_o least_o not_o fear_v it_o but_o rather_o how_o they_o may_v comfortable_o hope_v for_o it_o and_o cheerful_o embrace_v it_o because_o they_o do_v not_o look_v upon_o death_n as_o the_o end_n of_o all_o pain_n and_o grief_n only_o but_o as_o a_o store-house_n of_o all_o good_a not_o as_o the_o end_n of_o life_n but_o of_o death_n and_o the_o beginning_n of_o a_o immortal_a life_n well_o therefore_o do_v the_o wise_a solomon_n say_v good_a a_o heavenly_a life_n only_o good_a that_o the_o day_n of_o one_o death_n be_v much_o better_a than_o the_o day_n of_o his_o birth_n and_o why_o so_o because_o that_o day_n be_v not_o the_o last_o that_o shall_v shine_v upon_o we_o but_o the_o begin_n of_o a_o never_o fail_a day_n and_o of_o a_o
