forewarn_v you_o who_o you_o shall_v fear_v fear_v he_o which_o after_o he_o have_v kill_v have_v power_n to_o cast_v into_o hell_n yea_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o fear_v he_o most_o of_o that_o fear_n and_o terror_n that_o man_n undergo_v in_o this_o world_n be_v occasion_v by_o false_a opinion_n which_o they_o form_n to_o themselves_o of_o the_o good_a or_o evil_a of_o those_o circumstance_n that_o be_v incident_a to_o the_o humane_a state_n and_o that_o it_o be_v opinion_n only_o and_o no_o real_a good_a or_o evil_a in_o such_o circumstance_n that_o give_v man_n so_o much_o disturbance_n and_o disquiet_n be_v evident_a from_o this_o that_o in_o the_o very_a same_o circumstance_n wherein_o one_o man_n think_v himself_o miserable_a another_o will_v account_v himself_o happy_a and_o again_o in_o the_o same_o condition_n wherein_o one_o man_n think_v himself_o happy_a another_o will_v account_v himself_o miserable_a the_o evil_a then_o do_v not_o lie_v so_o much_o in_o the_o circumstance_n or_o condition_n but_o chief_o in_o a_o man_n fancy_n or_o opinion_n and_o this_o be_v yet_o more_o apparent_a in_o that_o the_o great_a misfortune_n that_o befall_v man_n though_o they_o be_v very_o grievous_a at_o first_o yet_o when_o they_o have_v be_v familiar_a to_o they_o and_o they_o be_v use_v to_o they_o they_o be_v nothing_o though_o the_o misfortune_n be_v the_o same_o and_o the_o man_n the_o same_o yet_o it_o be_v nothing_o so_o grievous_a because_o than_o they_o know_v all_o the_o evil_a that_o be_v in_o it_o and_o at_o first_o they_o form_v a_o idea_n of_o it_o which_o be_v much_o great_a than_o the_o truth_n for_o this_o be_v the_o unhappy_a case_n of_o poor_a man_n that_o must_v inform_v himself_o by_o the_o mediation_n of_o fleshly_a organ_n by_o his_o sense_n and_o imagination_n that_o he_o continual_o cheat_n himself_o with_o false_a image_n of_o thing_n for_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o see_v any_o thing_n that_o look_v a_o little_a take_n that_o seem_v at_o first_o sight_n to_o be_v good_a and_o pleasant_a and_o desirable_a present_o his_o fancy_n fall_v to_o work_v and_o he_o form_v a_o image_n of_o it_o that_o be_v altogether_o lovely_a he_o adorn_v it_o with_o all_o that_o he_o can_v find_v charm_v he_o never_o inquire_v into_o the_o blemish_n and_o imperfection_n of_o it_o and_o have_v thus_o draw_v a_o representation_n much_o beyond_o truth_n his_o passion_n be_v inflame_v and_o he_o pursue_v this_o shadow_n this_o work_n of_o his_o own_o brain_n and_o thereby_o lose_v some_o real_a and_o substantial_a good_n in_o like_a manner_n when_o a_o man_n see_v any_o thing_n that_o at_o first_o blush_v have_v a_o frightful_a aspect_n immediate_o without_o have_v patience_n to_o examine_v the_o truth_n he_o form_v a_o dreadful_a image_n of_o it_o in_o his_o fancy_n he_o draw_v it_o so_o ghastly_a that_o he_o himself_o become_v immediate_o mighty_o afraid_a of_o it_o and_o his_o fear_n help_v to_o make_v it_o still_o more_o terrible_a and_o so_o he_o become_v like_o a_o man_n that_o fancy_n he_o see_v shape_v in_o the_o dark_a in_o fly_v from_o which_o he_o fall_v into_o some_o real_a danger_n tumble_v into_o a_o river_n or_o down_o a_o precipice_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o generality_n of_o man_n do_v thus_o cheat_v themselves_o be_v because_o all_o man_n will_v know_v every_o thing_n without_o be_v at_o the_o pain_n of_o enquiry_n and_o it_o be_v much_o easy_a to_o fancy_v a_o thing_n to_o draw_v a_o representation_n of_o it_o in_o our_o imagination_n than_o it_o be_v to_o search_v out_o the_o real_a truth_n but_o in_o nothing_o do_v man_n more_o impose_v upon_o themselves_o in_o this_o kind_n than_o in_o the_o apprehension_n of_o death_n they_o draw_v the_o most_o ugly_a and_o frightful_a image_n of_o it_o in_o their_o fancy_n that_o be_v possible_a and_o so_o this_o become_v to_o they_o the_o king_n of_o terror_n and_o all_o their_o life_n long_o as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v they_o be_v in_o bondage_n through_o fear_n of_o it_o therefore_o the_o politic_a founder_n of_o state_n invent_v superstition_n to_o remove_v this_o fear_n when_o there_o shall_v be_v occasion_n to_o hazard_v man_n life_n for_o the_o security_n of_o their_o country_n or_o the_o like_a and_o it_o have_v be_v the_o continual_a study_n of_o the_o philosopher_n of_o all_o sect_n to_o persuade_v man_n out_o of_o this_o fear_n to_o make_v the_o thought_n of_o death_n more_o easy_a and_o to_o keep_v they_o from_o spoil_v all_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o life_n and_o yet_o indeed_o death_n itself_o be_v no_o such_o terrible_a thing_n if_o it_o be_v thorough_o examine_v and_o true_o inquire_v into_o but_o there_o be_v something_o after_o death_n that_o well_o deserve_v our_o fear_n therefore_o our_o bless_a lord_n to_o remove_v from_o his_o disciple_n this_o vulgar_a mistake_n to_o deliver_v they_o from_o this_o common_a but_o vain_a fear_n and_o to_o show_v they_o where_o they_o have_v reason_n to_o fear_n and_o how_o their_o fear_n may_v do_v they_o good_a and_o prevent_v great_a and_o real_a evil_n speak_v thus_o to_o they_o in_o the_o word_n of_o my_o text_n and_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o etc._n etc._n in_o pursuance_n of_o the_o design_n of_o which_o word_n i_o shall_v show_v first_o that_o death_n itself_o be_v no_o such_o great_a evil_a as_o it_o be_v common_o apprehend_v to_o be_v and_o therefore_o not_o mighty_o to_o be_v fear_v second_o that_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n against_o sinner_n and_o the_o punishment_n follow_v upon_o that_o wrath_n be_v very_o great_a evil_n and_o therefore_o much_o to_o be_v fear_v and_o in_o conclusion_n i_o shall_v show_v the_o advantage_n of_o the_o true_a fear_n of_o god_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o happiness_n it_o bring_v to_o this_o life_n as_o well_o as_o that_o to_o come_v how_o it_o free_v and_o deliver_v we_o from_o all_o other_o fear_n or_o terror_n whatsoever_o first_o then_o death_n in_o itself_o be_v no_o such_o great_a evil_n that_o we_o ought_v so_o mighty_o to_o fear_v it_o and_o this_o will_v appear_v if_o we_o inquire_v into_o the_o good_a it_o deprive_v we_o of_o for_o death_n itself_o can_v be_v no_o way_n evil_a but_o in_o respect_n of_o some_o good_a it_o take_v from_o we_o which_o we_o may_v otherwise_o enjoy_v what_o be_v then_o the_o great_a good_a the_o happiness_n and_o satisfaction_n that_o a_o man_n can_v have_v in_o life_n and_o from_o which_o we_o be_v cut_v off_o by_o death_n and_o for_o the_o know_v of_o this_o we_o can_v have_v no_o better_a way_n than_o to_o ask_v of_o those_o who_o have_v have_v the_o great_a experience_n of_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o this_o life_n what_o their_o opinion_n be_v how_o they_o find_v it_o and_o sure_o solomon_n be_v a_o very_a sufficient_a evidence_n in_o this_o case_n no_o man_n can_v enjoy_v more_o in_o this_o life_n than_o he_o do_v and_o he_o declare_v all_o that_o enjoyment_n to_o be_v vanity_n and_o vexation_n of_o spirit_n and_o if_o you_o desire_v to_o be_v satisfy_v by_o a_o live_a witness_n in_o this_o matter_n and_o will_v ask_v any_o man_n that_o you_o think_v have_v enjoy_v the_o great_a portion_n of_o health_n and_o prosperity_n and_o long_a life_n whether_o he_o think_v he_o have_v always_o be_v a_o very_a happy_a man_n and_o whither_o if_o he_o be_v put_v to_o his_o choice_n he_o will_v choose_v to_o live_v the_o very_a same_o life_n in_o all_o its_o circumstance_n that_o he_o have_v live_v over_o again_o i_o say_v the_o very_a same_o in_o all_o its_o circumstance_n because_o man_n will_v desire_v to_o live_v again_o that_o they_o may_v order_v their_o affair_n better_a and_o have_v more_o delight_n and_o enjoyment_n than_o they_o have_v have_v and_o it_o be_v the_o hope_n that_o man_n have_v that_o still_o their_o life_n will_v be_v more_o pleasant_a and_o comfortable_a than_o it_o have_v be_v that_o make_v they_o endure_v their_o life_n they_o still_o feed_v themselves_o with_o hope_n and_o that_o buoy_v they_o up_o and_o encourage_v they_o there_o be_v none_o will_v say_v he_o desire_v the_o same_o life_n again_o that_o he_o have_v
