enemy_n of_o mankind_n perceive_v how_o necessary_a it_o be_v for_o man_n to_o remember_v his_o end_n seek_v by_o his_o pleasant_a allurement_n of_o entice_a vanity_n to_o draw_v he_o from_o this_o

the_o necessity_n of_o our_o daily_a meditate_v upon_o death_n nature_n itself_o teach_v &_o experience_n show_v it_o daily_o that_o we_o must_v leave_v the_o vanity_n and_o delight_n of_o this_o

that_o our_o departure_n may_v be_v the_o more_o cheerful_a when_o that_o inevitable_a hour_n come_v it_o be_v necessary_a that_o we_o shall_v meditate_v of_o it_o long_o before_o it_o do_v come_v for_o the_o more_o we_o do_v meditate_v of_o death_n the_o less_o we_o fear_v it_o and_o the_o less_o we_o fear_v it_o the_o great_a be_v our_o faith_n here_o we_o have_v no_o certain_a heritage_n
