matter_n of_o peace_n and_o comfort_n unto_o we_o that_o we_o have_v keep_v up_o a_o fair_a name_n in_o the_o world_n all_o our_o day_n 5._o young_a man_n be_v subject_a to_o death_n as_o well_o as_o the_o elder_n nay_o sometime_o the_o young_a be_v take_v off_o when_o those_o that_o be_v go_v further_o into_o age_n and_o year_n remain_v behind_o and_o therefore_o ought_v not_o they_o to_o be_v

man_n be_v young_a and_o may_v have_v many_o year_n more_o to_o live_v because_o nothing_o be_v so_o uncertain_a as_o the_o life_n of_o man._n and_o we_o see_v thousand_o of_o instance_n of_o man_n young_a in_o year_n strong_a in_o body_n vigorous_a in_o health_n cut_v down_o sudden_o by_o fever_n or_o some_o accident_n or_o other_o and_o they_o die_v and_o go_v to_o their_o long_a home_n as_o well_o as_o such_o who_o have_v live_v to_o grey_a hair_n and_o what_o a_o sad_a thing_n will_v it_o be_v for_o a_o young_a man_n to_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v so_o cheat_v out_o of_o heaven_n and_o happiness_n because_o of_o the_o conceit_n that_o he_o be_v young_a and_o may_v have_v live_v many_o year_n more_o oh_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v every_o man_n care_n above_o all_o his_o other_o care_n to_o think_v of_o death_n and_o to_o prepare_v for_o the_o main_a chance_n that_o when_o he_o go_v out_o of_o this_o world_n he_o may_v pass_v into_o a_o better_a and_o leave_v a_o good_a name_n behind_o they_o and_o of_o all_o the_o madness_n of_o youth_n certain_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a that_o they_o be_v so_o apt_a to_o put_v away_o the_o day_n of_o their_o death_n from_o they_o and_o to_o indulge_v to_o all_o sensuality_n as_o though_o they_o be_v sure_a of_o many_o future_a year_n and_o to_o cry_v that_o it_o will_v be_v time_n enough_o hereafter_o to_o grow_v sober_a and_o then_o alas_o death_n come_v on_o a_o sudden_a and_o surprise_v they_o with_o all_o their_o sin_n and_o fault_n and_o folly_n about_o they_o and_o so_o they_o be_v undo_v to_o all_o eternity_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o only_a wise_a course_n for_o young_a man_n to_o take_v viz._n to_o fear_n god_n in_o their_o youth_n and_o to_o depart_v from_o evil_a at_o this_o present_a time_n that_o in_o case_n death_n shall_v overtake_v they_o as_o it_o have_v do_v other_o as_o young_a and_o flourish_a as_o they_o it_o may_v not_o endanger_v their_o everlasting_a wellbeing_a 6._o to_o name_v no_o more_o in_o order_n to_o a_o sober_a conversation_n let_v young_a man_n consider_v some_o notable_a instance_n of_o person_n that_o have_v be_v exemplary_o good_a from_o their_o youth_n for_o thanks_o be_v to_o god_n however_o corrupt_v the_o generality_n of_o youth_n be_v and_o have_v be_v yet_o there_o have_v be_v some_o admirable_a instance_n of_o young_a
