the_o first_o beget_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n as_o go_v into_o the_o heaven_n and_o there_o sit_v down_o at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n angel_n and_o authority_n and_o power_n be_v make_v subject_a to_o he_o as_o the_o lord_n of_o life_n and_o glory_n who_o be_v go_v to_o prepare_v a_o place_n for_o we_o and_o will_v come_v again_o and_o receive_v we_o to_o himself_o that_o where_o he_o be_v there_o we_o may_v be_v also_o then_o will_v these_o spiritual_a thing_n be_v as_o much_o value_v by_o we_o as_o now_o they_o be_v despise_v and_o we_o shall_v as_o much_o slight_a all_o these_o bodily_a enjoyment_n as_o now_o they_o be_v overprize_v we_o shall_v not_o consent_v for_o any_o good_a in_o this_o world_n to_o lose_v our_o portion_n with_o he_o but_o choose_v rather_o to_o die_v a_o thousand_o death_n than_o not_o receive_v the_o crown_n of_o life_n in_o short_a the_o faith_n of_o christian_n will_v then_o be_v able_a to_o do_v as_o much_o as_o sense_n now_o do_v as_o that_o now_o disparage_v and_o thrust_v by_o the_o thing_n of_o faith_n because_o they_o seem_v nothing_o or_o uncertain_a so_o faith_n will_v put_v by_o all_o the_o temptation_n of_o sense_n and_o bid_v they_o stand_v aside_o because_o it_o apprehend_v celestial_a thing_n to_o be_v sure_a and_o certain_a too_o for_o if_o they_o appear_v as_o real_a and_o certain_a thing_n they_o must_v as_o i_o tell_v you_o be_v prefer_v because_o they_o be_v infinite_o better_o than_o all_o other_o and_o have_v nothing_o to_o disparage_v they_o but_o only_o their_o seem_a uncertainty_n they_o will_v undoubted_o make_v we_o do_v and_o suffer_v the_o will_n of_o our_o lord_n with_o all_o cheerfulness_n and_o patient_a

to_o call_v for_o we_o and_o what_o if_o he_o send_v for_o some_o of_o our_o friend_n and_o dear_a relation_n to_o come_v away_o before_o we_o will_v not_o the_o belief_n of_o these_o thing_n make_v we_o with_o some_o cheerfulness_n or_o contentment_n resign_v they_o to_o he_o there_o can_v be_v no_o great_a comfort_n than_o this_o discourse_n against_o the_o grief_n we_o be_v apt_a to_o

our_o friend_n quite_o away_o but_o only_o their_o go_v before_o and_o if_o they_o be_v godly_a they_o be_v go_v into_o a_o better_a dwell_n why_o shall_v we_o mourn_v then_o immoderate_o as_o those_o that_o have_v no_o hope_n will_v we_o not_o have_v our_o friend_n advancee_v do_v we_o grieve_v that_o they_o be_v possess_v of_o a_o more_o plentiful_a estate_n and_o weep_v perpetual_o that_o they_o live_v like_o king_n and_o reign_v with_o christ_n in_o glorious_a palace_n o_o let_v not_o the_o tear_n flow_v too_o fast_o look_v upon_o the_o heaven_n and_o dry_v your_o eye_n for_o out_o of_o a_o earthly_a hole_n all_o purify_a soul_n take_v their_o flight_n above_o those_o spacious_a vault_n from_o cold_a hunger_n thirst_n and_o nakedness_n they_o go_v to_o a_o place_n where_o there_o be_v none_o of_o these_o necessity_n will_v you_o have_v your_o child_n lie_v always_o in_o their_o swadling-clothe_n or_o when_o they_o be_v grow_v big_a do_v you_o desire_v they_o shall_v always_o go_v in_o their_o side-coate_n do_v you_o sigh_v to_o see_v they_o beyond_o their_o nonage_n and_o grow_v to_o the_o state_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n will_v you_o have_v they_o return_v to_o their_o infancy_n again_o and_o become_v little_a child_n mere_o that_o you_o may_v play_v with_o they_o why_o do_v you_o take_v it_o ill_o then_o that_o your_o friend_n be_v grow_v to_o a_o high_a stature_n why_o do_v you_o lament_v so_o heavy_o that_o they_o be_v strip_v of_o their_o rag_n to_o put_v on_o rich_a apparel_n why_o do_v you_o not_o rather_o comfort_v yourselves_o that_o they_o be_v in_o the_o condition_n of_o angel_n and_o number_v among_o the_o son_n of_o glory_n be_v enter_v into_o the_o family_n of_o god_n above_o in_o the_o court_n of_o heaven_n consider_v i_o beseech_v you_o that_o too_o long_o continue_a bewailing_n of_o the_o loss_n of_o our_o holy_a friend_n do_v betray_v our_o ignorance_n or_o forgetfulness_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o other_o world_n it_o be_v a_o

we_o shall_v be_v satisfy_v both_o because_o they_o be_v go_v to_o it_o and_o we_o may_v one_o day_n follow_v they_o if_o they_o love_v our_o lord_n in_o sincerity_n he_o have_v better_a provide_v

we_o it_o be_v a_o notable_a say_n of_o one_o of_o the_o ancient_n that_o the_o soul_n of_o philosopher_n have_v the_o body_n for_o their_o house_n but_o they_o that_o be_v ignorant_a enjoy_v it_o
