reason_n have_v we_o to_o remember_v our_o creator_n by_o who_o it_o have_v be_v bestow_v upon_o we_o shall_v not_o god_n remember_v we_o in_o his_o providence_n and_o protection_n over_o we_o shall_v not_o he_o remember_v we_o in_o trouble_n and_o distress_n and_o when_o we_o have_v cast_v away_o ourselves_o in_o our_o sin_n what_o will_v become_v of_o we_o but_o though_o god_n be_v most_o

which_o he_o have_v receive_v we_o say_v of_o another_o that_o he_o have_v a_o excellent_a memory_n because_o he_o can_v repeat_v many_o thing_n as_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v propose_v unto_o he_o

remember_v therefore_o thy_o creator_n in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n a_o chief_a reason_n that_o make_v young_a people_n not_o to_o remember_v god_n their_o creator_n be_v this_o because_o they_o think_v that_o they_o have_v a_o long_a time_n to_o live_v in_o the_o world_n and_o though_o they_o forget_v he_o now_o yet_o they_o will_v remember_v he_o hereafter_o but_o to_o remove_v this_o the_o preacher_n say_v not_o in_o the_o time_n but_o in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n to_o show_v both_o to_o young_a and_o old_a that_o our_o life_n be_v but_o for_o a_o few_o day_n and_o

remember_v his_o creator_n in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o youth_n indeed_o the_o creator_n must_v always_o he_o remember_v not_o only_o in_o youth_n but_o in_o old_a age_n not_o only_o in_o the_o day_n of_o youth_n but_o all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n for_o as_o zachary_n say_v he_o redeem_v we_o that_o we_o may_v serve_v he_o in_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o
