god_n of_o hell_n and_o of_o everlasting_a torment_n and_o peyne_v and_o like_v as_o the_o heathen_a in_o time_n past_a be_v persuade_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v feign_a which_o the_o poete_n

the_o second_o cause_n now_o let_v we_o proceed_v unto_o a_o other_o cause_n which_o be_v the_o hope_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n this_o hope_n be_v great_a in_o very_o dead_a but_o yet_o it_o be_v

such_o as_o be_v convert_v unto_o he_o so_o do_v he_o also_o sharp_o punyshe_v those_o man_n which_o do_v continue_v obstinate_o in_o vice_n such_o man_n then_o as_o repent_v not_o unfeyned_o conceyve_v a_o false_a hope_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n but_o the_o devyl_n notwithstanding_o by_o set_v forth_o to_o man_n this_o hope_n bring_v this_o thing_n to_o pass_v that_o they_o live_v

since_o that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n as_o the_o poet_n say_v in_o such_o favour_n with_o god_n that_o he_o can_v assure_v himself_o of_o the_o next_o morrow_n follow_v for_o many_o time_n death_n

here_o i_o think_v it_o needs_o to_o speak_v of_o those_o thing_n which_o plinius_n make_v mention_v of_o in_o his_o natural_a history_n touching_n sudden_a death_n sense_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o almost_o in_o our_o time_n more_o common_a than_o the_o same_o for_o not_o long_o ago_o two_o old_a man_n of_o our_o country_n which_o dwelte_v both_o in_o one_o cytye_n die_v sodaynlye_o

be_v thrust_v through_o with_o a_o dagger_n and_o never_o neither_o of_o they_o ever_o speak_v word_n after_o that_o time_n now_o ▪_o let_v every_o man_n judge_n for_o himself_o in_o what_o danger_n these_o twain_o dye_v and_o though_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n common_a as_o well_o to_o the_o godly_a as_o ungodly_a to_o dye_v sudden_o and_o the_o just_a can_v not_o be_v but_o in_o good_a state_n what_o death_n so_o ever_o they_o die_v yet_o very_o a_o man_n can_v not_o devise_v how_o horryble_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v for_o one_o to_o dye_v thus_o which_o be_v with_o out_o repentance_n of_o

we_o then_o admit_v this_o that_o god_n will_v have_v the_o sinner_n to_o repent_v rather_o than_o to_o dye_v as_o he_o undoubted_o will_v yet_o by_o reason_n of_o uncertain_a chance_n we_o can_v not_o without_o great_a danger_n diferre_v the_o reformation_n of_o our_o life_n yea_o though_o we_o put_v our_o hope_n firm_o in_o the_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n we_o must_v repent_v therefore_o while_o we_o live_v upon_o yearthe_n and_o be_v lusty_a and_o have_v our_o helthe_n but_o the_o world_n be_v clean_a contrary_n for_o we_o see_v daily_o that_o the_o yongeman_n give_v

so_o long_o as_o he_o will_v wish_v what_o do_v he_o than_o i_o pray_v you_o go_v he_o about_o any_o reformation_n or_o amendment_n of_o his_o life_n no_o no._n this_o be_v ever_o more_o his_o
