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

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

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

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

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
