death_n and_o that_o say_v with_o die_a stephen_n lord_n jesus_n receive_v my_o spirit_n but_o if_o ever_o you_o will_v have_v christ_n to_o receive_v your_o soul_n when_o you_o die_v you_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o receive_v he_o into_o your_o soul_n whilst_o you_o live_v if_o ever_o you_o will_v have_v he_o to_o receive_v you_o into_o heaven_n you_o must_v receive_v he_o into_o your_o heart_n no_o man_n make_v a_o will_n but_o he_o say_v imprimis_fw-la i_o bequeath_v my_o soul_n unto_o jesus_n christ_n my_o redeemer_n but_o how_o do_v thou_o know_v that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v accept_v of_o this_o legacy_n if_o thy_o soul_n have_v not_o christ_n image_n upon_o it_o if_o it_o be_v not_o regenerate_v and_o renew_v jesus_n christ_n will_v never_o own_v it_o thou_o may_v bequeath_v it_o

may_v sleep_v in_o jesus_n second_o in_o the_o second_o place_n if_o ever_o you_o will_v sleep_v a_o happy_a sleep_n at_o death_n than_o you_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o overcharge_v yourselves_o with_o worldly_a care_n a_o man_n that_o be_v full_a of_o care_n can_v sleep_v therefore_o when_o man_n will_v sleep_v they_o lay_v as_o the_o proverb_n be_v all_o their_o care_n under_o their_o

that_o eat_v out_o his_o heart_n with_o worldly_a care_n will_v never_o sleep_v a_o happy_a sleep_n the_o care_n of_o the_o world_n will_v choke_v all_o the_o good_a seed_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o as_o man_n when_o they_o sleep_v lay_v aside_o all_o worldly_a thought_n so_o if_o ever_o you_o will_v sleep_v a_o happy_a sleep_n take_v heed_n of_o overmuch_a cark_n and_o care_v for_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n and_o remember_v what_o you_o have_v hear_v this_o day_n and_o that_o will_v regulate_v and_o moderate_v all_o care_n naked_a you_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o naked_a you_o must_v go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n why_o shall_v we_o take_v care_n for_o that_o we_o know_v not_o who_o shall_v enjoy_v after_o we_o three_o if_o ever_o you_o will_v sleep_v a_o happy_a sleep_n when_o you_o die_v you_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o suck_v too_o much_o of_o the_o pleasure_n of_o this_o life_n a_o man_n that_o eat_v a_o full_a supper_n will_v sleep_v very_o disquiet_o therefore_o they_o that_o will_v sleep_v quiet_o use_v to_o eat_v but_o light_a supper_n for_o when_o a_o man_n stomach_n be_v overcharge_v it_o take_v away_o his_o sweet_a sleep_n

of_o eat_v too_o large_a a_o meal_n of_o worldly_a delight_n and_o of_o creature_n comfort_n these_o worldly_a pleasure_n will_v make_v the_o sleep_n of_o death_n unquiet_a unto_o you_o oh_o let_v

the_o better_a the_o sweet_a will_v your_o sleep_n be_v when_o you_o come_v to_o die_v and_o remember_v this_o that_o as_o much_o sleep_n in_o the_o day_n time_n will_v hinder_v a_o man_n sleep_n at_o
