that_o if_o he_o have_v never_o be_v ashamed_a he_o will_v never_o have_v glory_v in_o not_o be_v ashamed_a in_o like_a manner_n i_o understand_v that_o none_o have_v mortify_v the_o affection_n of_o

among_o the_o pious_a that_o fear_v death_n some_o fear_n it_o because_o they_o be_v not_o thorough_o confirm_v in_o piety_n nor_o thorough_o assure_v of_o that_o justice_n by_o which_o eternal_a

man_n in_o every_o of_o these_o i_o know_v piety_n justice_n and_o holiness_n albeit_o in_o the_o first_o i_o know_v weakness_n and_o infirmity_n as_o i_o also_o know_v in_o those_o pious_a person_n who_o without_o feel_v the_o inward_a inspiration_n that_o god_n will_v have_v they_o to_o die_v do_v desire_n and_o love_v death_n for_o this_o desire_n be_v not_o free_a from_o some_o branch_n of_o

that_o appertain_v to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n yea_o even_o when_o themselves_o think_v it_o not_o so_o whereupon_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v that_o christ_n have_v satisfy_v for_o original_a

again_o by_o christ._n i_o also_o take_v another_o resolution_n that_o be_v that_o a_o pious_a person_n do_v then_o content_a himself_o of_o death_n as_o pious_a when_o by_o his_o death_n the_o

give_v he_o content_a in_o such_o sort_n as_o when_o a_o pious_a person_n feel_v in_o himself_o a_o strong_a fear_n of_o death_n not_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v himself_o to_o be_v content_a to_o die_v he_o may_v hold_v for_o certain_a that_o god_n will_v not_o at_o that_o time_n take_v he_o from_o this_o life_n and_o he_o ought_v to_o think_v that_o as_o long_o as_o he_o fear_v the_o natural_a

they_o that_o be_v stranger_n from_o piety_n when_o they_o least_o fear_v death_n and_o when_o they_o have_v most_o bring_v themselves_o to_o be_v content_v with_o it_o if_o they_o wovid_v speak_v
