ourselves_o be_v very_a death_n and_o no_o part_n of_o our_o body_n immortal_a wherefore_o those_o that_o suppose_v themselves_o to_o live_v in_o this_o world_n be_v far_o deceive_v in_o their_o own_o

world_n year_n first_o the_o long_a age_n that_o man_n can_v live_v in_o this_o world_n be_v but_o six_o score_n year_n from_o six_o score_n year_n we_o must_v deduct_v the_o night_n for_o man_n when_o he_o sleep_v live_v not_o beside_o that_o sleep_n be_v term_v the_o image_n of_o death_n so_o that_o deduct_v the_o night_n which_o comprehend_v one_o half_a of_o the_o time_n man_n live_v but_o three_o score_n year_n in_o the_o world_n while_o man_n live_v these_o sixty_o year_n he_o live_v but_o the_o one_o half_a of_o they_o for_o if_o he_o have_v one_o day_n of_o mirth_n and_o

rather_o die_v then_o live_v we_o must_v therefore_o take_v from_o the_o sixty_o year_n afore_o say_v the_o one_o half_a and_o so_o there_o remain_v but_o thirty_o now_o let_v we_o see_v whether_o in_o the_o space_n of_o six_o score_n year_n a_o man_n may_v not_o pass_v away_o ten_o at_o the_o least_o in_o sickness_n mischance_n or_o other_o infirmity_n i_o may_v tell_v you_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o live_v six_o score_n year_n in_o the_o world_n but_o at_o several_a time_n and_o during_o his_o say_a age_n he_o have_v above_o ten_o year_n infirmity_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v take_v from_o the_o thirty_o year_n which_o be_v the_o remainder_n of_o man_n life_n yet_o ten_o year_n and_o then_o there_o be_v but_o twenty_o leave_v which_o be_v now_o the_o twenty_o year_n of_o his_o life_n we_o must_v take_v they_o at_o his_o infancy_n and_o in_o his_o old_a age_n that_o be_v ten_o year_n from_o his_o very_a childhood_n and_o the_o other_o ten_o from_o his_o extreme_a old_a age_n but_o since_o aswell_o in_o infancy_n as_o in_o extremity_n of_o age_n there_o be_v no_o life_n but_o rather_o a_o live_a death_n i_o conclude_v that_o man_n have_v not_o one_o only_a hour_n of_o life_n in_o this_o world_n also_o that_o whosoever_o seek_v life_n in_o this_o world_n do_v much_o deceive_v himself_o in_o heaven_n therefore_o it_o be_v that_o we_o must_v assure_v ourselves_o to_o live_v and_o seek_v for_o life_n but_o not_o upon_o earth_n where_o death_n do_v continual_o haunt_v us._n for_o

that_o nothing_o do_v more_o aggravate_v the_o grief_n of_o the_o loss_n than_o the_o remembrance_n of_o the_o value_n of_o the_o thing_n lose_v then_o do_v nothing_o seem_v more_o contrary_a to_o

which_o pierce_v his_o heart_n that_o be_v deprive_v of_o he_o be_v the_o more_o sharp_a and_o grievous_a howbeit_o some_o man_n will_v answer_v that_o contrariwise_o by_o the_o commendation_n of_o he_o y_o it_o be_v depart_v we_o do_v declare_v that_o he_o be_v not_o dead_a but_o live_v and_o thus_o we_o may_v by_o little_a and_o little_o assuage_v the_o sorrow_n of_o our_o loss_n and_o
