yet_o sometime_o it_o be_v not_o true_a that_o good_a man_n have_v hope_n in_o their_o death_n and_o ill_a man_n want_v it_o but_o though_o it_o be_v not_o always_o true_a in_o point_n of_o fact_n yet_o it_o always_o be_v in_o the_o ground_n and_o reason_n of_o it_o a_o wicked_a liver_n have_v always_o cause_v to_o be_v dismay_v though_o he_o will_v not_o believe_v it_o till_o he_o feel_v it_o and_o a_o righteous_a man_n have_v always_o cause_v of_o hope_n in_o death_n if_o he_o have_v but_o the_o understanding_n to_o discern_v it_o and_o whether_o he_o see_v it_o or_o no_o he_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o find_v the_o benefit_n and_o be_v a_o gainer_n by_o it_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n the_o word_n admit_v of_o no_o exception_n that_o when_o the_o wicked_a want_n the_o righteous_a

who_o have_v lead_v a_o good_a life_n and_o have_v not_o allow_v himself_o in_o any_o know_a sin_n but_o have_v a_o regard_n to_o all_o god_n commandment_n he_o be_v one_o that_o have_v lead_v a_o
