of_o concern_v hell_n the_o river_n in_o hell_n that_o always_o burn_v the_o judge_n minos_n and_o rhadamanthus_n the_o place_n abode_n &_o punishment_n of_o the_o wicked_a whereupon_o come_v that_o

of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o soul_n &_o body_n either_o to_o everlasting_a pain_n or_o eternal_a glory_n when_o as_o all_o these_o thing_n without_o doubt_n strike_v horror_n into_o they_o that_o be_v godly_a in_o deed_n &_o do_v fear_n god_n aright_o &_o as_o one_o say_v they_o be_v almost_o afraid_a to_o hear_v they_o once_o name_v or_o speak_v of_o thus_o have_v thou_o the_o chief_a

this_o hope_n the_o continual_a enemy_n of_o mankind_n the_o devil_n hold_v man_n in_o sin_n and_o by_o daily_o set_v before_o he_o god_n lenity_n and_o gentleness_n keep_v he_o from_o fear_v his_o justice_n but_o as_o god_n do_v easy_o pardon_v the_o penitent_a and_o fatherly_a forgeive_v such_o as_o return_v unto_o goodness_n so_o he_o leave_v not_o unpunished_a neither_o suffer_v unrevenged_a such_o as_o with_o a_o obstinate_a mind_n persevere_v in_o wickedness_n in_o vain_a therefore_o do_v they_o hope_v for_o pardon_n who_o do_v not_o hearty_o repent_v for_o their_o sin_n commit_v the_o devil_n notwithstanding_o by_o set_v this_o hope_n before_o man_n bring_v to_o pass_v that_o he_o sin_v secure_o and_o never_o have_v any_o earnest_a cogitation_n of_o amend_v his_o life_n but_o

as_o i_o have_v say_v do_v he_o hope_v to_o have_v remission_n and_o forgiveness_n who_o heart_n be_v not_o touch_v with_o true_a repentance_n now_o albeit_o no_o repentance_n be_v to_o late_a

none_o have_v ever_o have_v god_n so_o favourable_a unto_o he_o that_o he_o can_v promise_v himself_o to_o live_v till_o the_o morrow_n death_n oftentimes_o come_v upon_o man_n unaware_o so_o that_o they_o have_v no_o time_n so_o much_o as_o to_o think_v of_o repent_v and_o amend_v their_o life_n i_o will_v not_o here_o rehearse_v those_o thing_n which_o pliny_n declare_v in_o his_o natural_a

notwithstanding_o that_o the_o impenitent_a person_n shall_v sudden_o be_v overtake_v with_o death_n after_o such_o a_o sort_n of_o how_o many_o have_v we_o hear_v oftentimes_o who_o even_o when_o

of_o they_o who_o fall_v from_o their_o horse_n have_v break_v their_o neck_n who_o have_v perish_v sudden_o in_o the_o sea_n by_o shipwreck_n final_o who_o either_o byfalling_a of_o house_n or_o by_o some_o other_o chance_n have_v die_v a_o sudden_a death_n although_o then_o you_o god_n do_v desire_v rather_o the_o repentance_n than_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n as_o in_o deed_n he_o do_v it_o be_v notwithstanding_o a_o very_a perilous_a thing_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o uncertain_a chance_n which_o be_v incident_a unto_o we_o to_o differre_fw-la the_o amendment_n of_o our_o life_n upon_o hope_n of_o god_n mercy_n thou_o must_v repent_v in_o time_n while_o thou_o do_v yet_o live_v and_o be_v in_o good_a health_n but_o thus_o stand_v the_o case_n a_o young_a man_n take_v his_o pastime_n and_o
