for_o our_o saviour_n himself_o say_v he_o that_o lose_v his_o life_n for_o my_o sake_n and_o the_o gospel_n shall_v find_v it_o but_o though_o martyr_n have_v a_o certain_a and_o a_o great_a share_n

as_o well_o as_o they_o and_o therefore_o other_o do_v

fit_o render_v it_o as_o we_o do_v in_o the_o lord_n understand_v it_o not_o only_o of_o martyr_n but_o likewise_o of_o all_o other_o that_o die_v in_o the_o faith_n and_o fear_n of_o god_n they_o

that_o die_v peaceable_o have_v make_v peace_n with_o god_n and_o the_o world_n and_o their_o own_o conscience_n they_o that_o depart_v this_o life_n with_o a_o willing_a resignation_n of_o themselves_o with_o repentance_n faith_n prayer_n charity_n and_o peace_n may_v be_v say_v to_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o be_v conclude_v bless_v but_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o die_v in_o the_o
