and_o which_o be_v worse_o in_o a_o eternal_a death_n and_o what_o motive_n can_v be_v sufficient_a to_o persuade_v man_n to_o the_o forsake_v of_o their_o most_o belove_a vice_n if_o they_o will_v not_o do_v it_o for_o this_o strong_a reason_n for_o the_o prolongation_n of_o their_o life_n and_o for_o the_o escape_n of_o death_n what_o terrible_a pain_n and_o operation_n will_v not_o man_n

reward_v for_o all_o if_o they_o can_v but_o avoid_v die_v thereby_o and_o preserve_v a_o poor_a helpless_a trunk_n and_o remnant_n of_o life_n and_o why_o will_v they_o not_o be_v equal_o prevail_v

those_o of_o their_o body_n since_o there_o will_v be_v less_o pain_n in_o do_v it_o and_o there_o be_v for_o it_o a_o great_a necessity_n strange_a and_o unaccountable_a infatuation_n that_o

in_o thy_o way_n with_o thorn_n and_o place_v death_n as_o a_o stop_n in_o thy_o progress_n thou_o will_v yet_o break_v through_o all_o those_o strong_a sense_n choose_v to_o die_v before_o thy_o

thou_o find_v wherewith_o to_o answer_v the_o wiseman_n question_n why_o thou_o will_v die_v before_o thy_o time_n be_v death_n so_o amiable_a a_o thing_n in_o thy_o eye_n be_v thou_o so_o enamour_a with_o the_o king_n of_o terror_n that_o thou_o hastene_v thus_o to_o meet_v he_o and_o to_o anticipate_v the_o day_n of_o thy_o dissolution_n no_o certain_o this_o can_v be_v the_o true_a reason_n of_o thy_o proceed_n no_o man_n can_v be_v thus_o in_o love_n with_o death_n but_o especial_o not_o the_o wicked_a man_n who_o must_v expect_v so_o sad_a a_o catastrophe_n after_o death_n but_o the_o true_a cause_n of_o such_o a_o absurd_a behaviour_n be_v this_o that_o man_n consider_v not_o the_o last_o issue_n of_o their_o action_n they_o go_v on_o in_o their_o vice_n as_o the_o ox_n go_v to_o

love_v life_n and_o desire_v to_o see_v good_a day_n flee_v from_o those_o vice_n which_o lead_v you_o into_o such_o fatal_a and_o murderous_a consequence_n let_v the_o time_n pass_v of_o your_o
