unto_o your_o life_n end_v thus_o have_v in_o small_a time_n lay_v open_a part_n of_o my_o great_a purpose_n i_o will_v with_o speed_n break_v off_o from_o my_o former_a discourse_n and_o hasten_v

name_n of_o god_n the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n let_v every_o man_n strive_v to_o keep_v a_o good_a conscience_n for_o conscience_n be_v that_o pilot_n that_o will_v divert_v you_o either_o to_o eternal_a bliss_n or_o everlasting_a destruction_n the_o next_o matter_n that_o i_o be_o to_o put_v you_o in_o mind_n of_o be_v to_o beware_v of_o curse_v swear_v and_o blaspheme_v god_n holy_a name_n our_o bless_a lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n in_o his_o new_a testament_n give_v we_o a_o new_a commandem_fw-la nt_v which_o be_v to_o love_v one_o another_o and_o withal_o he_o give_v we_o a_o strict_a charge_n to_o pray_v for_o our_o enemy_n and_o they_o that_o hate_v we_o and_o furthermore_o he_o say_v bless_v they_o that_o curse_v you_o but_o how_o many_o in_o these_o our_o time_n do_v we_o see_v that_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v good_a for_o evil_n why_o sure_o the_o great_a sort_n of_o people_n now_o a_o day_n will_v rather_o repay_v evil_a for_o good_a then_o do_v good_a for_o evil_n and_o will_v rather_o curs●_n their_o friend_n then_o pray_v for_o their_o enemy_n but_o the_o fruit_n of_o curse_v and_o swear_v be_v as_o follow_v a_o curse_n proceed_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o a_o ugly_a creature_n be_v like_o a_o arrow_n shoot_v against_o a_o plate_n of_o steel_n which_o have_v no_o power_n to_o enter_v rebound_v back_o and_o wound_v he_o that_o shoot_v it_o unto_o the_o very_a heart_n and_o as_o for_o swear_v be_v that_o ray_n out_o a_o needless_a gath_n displease_v god_n to_o please_v the_o devil_n therefore_o dear_a christian_n my_o counsel_n be_v to_o every_o one_o that_o you_o forbear_v curse_v and_o swear_v and_o all_o other_o ungodly_a quality_n whatsoever_o and_o with_o the_o new_a year_n begin_v a_o new_a life_n and_o as_o the_o day_n do_v wax_v every_o day_n long_o than_o other_o so_o let_v we_o endeavour_v to_o be_v every_o day_n better_o and_o better_o and_o let_v pride_n be_v exchange_v into_o humility_n envy_n into_o love_n and_o covetousness_n into_o bounty_n and_o wrath_n into_o patience_n and_o as_o you_o begin_v the_o year_n well_o so_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o continue_v for_o bless_a be_v they_o that_o continue_v to_o the_o end_n there_o be_v many_o and_o too_o many_o that_o be_v now_o live_v that_o never_o think_v of_o death_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o their_o life_n and_o conversation_n do_v we_o not_o see_v many_o young_a man_n and_o other_o give_v so_o much_o to_o riot_n that_o they_o spend_v that_o in_o their_o youth_n which_o shall_v keep_v they_o when_o they_o be_v old_a who_o have_v waste_v all_o and_o spend_v their_o whole_a patrimony_n be_v afterward_o glad_a to_o feed_v with_o the_o swine_n like_o the_o prodigal_a child_n luke_n 15._o my_o counsel_n therefore_o be_v this_o to_o all_o man_n that_o they_o take_v example_n by_o wise_a joseph_n who_o in_o the_o time_n of_o seven_o year_n plenty_n lay_v up_o in_o store_n for_o seven_o year_n of_o scarcity_n by_o which_o mean_v through_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n he_o preserve_v the_o life_n of_o his_o good_a old_a father_n jacob_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o brethren_n and_o many_o thousand_o more_o beside_o which_o else_o have_v perish_v through_o want_n as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o the_o book_n of_o genesis_n patience_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o armour_n of_o proof_n he_o that_o can_v obtain_v this_o gift_n be_v sufficient_o arm_v against_o all_o the_o fiery_a dart_n and_o trial_n which_o the_o world_n the_o flesh_n and_o the_o devil_n can_v throw_v at_o he_o but_o if_o the_o armour_n of_o patience_n be_v want_v he_o be_v a_o lose_a man_n for_o no_o soon_o come_v the_o small_a blast_n of_o persecution_n that_o can_v be_v speak_v of_o but_o present_o it_o pierce_v through_o the_o very_a brainpan_n of_o the_o skull_n and_o rankle_v to_o the_o heart_n and_o reins_n and_o at_o last_o it_o will_v destroy_v the_o whole_a body_n and_o endanger_v the_o soul_n therefore_o my_o counsel_n be_v that_o you_o do_v make_v patience_n one_o of_o your_o chief_a companion_n whether_o your_o company_n be_v many_o or_o few_o and_o to_o follow_v the_o apostle_n rule_v who_o say_v be_v you_o patient_a brethren_n until_o the_o come_n of_o the_o lord_n james_n 5.4_o there_o be_v many_o that_o be_v become_v market-maker_n for_o the_o devil_n and_o withal_o persuade_v the_o simple_a sort_n of_o people_n that_o there_o be_v no_o hell_n other_o there_o be_v that_o desire_n to_o know_v where_o hell_n be_v but_o i_o think_v there_o be_v do_n desire_n to_o go_v thither_o but_o this_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o they_o that_o be_v most_o diligent_a to_o inquire_v for_o it_o may_v the_o soon_a know_v where_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n in_o his_o mercy_n keep_v all_o good_a christian_n from_o it_o be_v it_o not_o impudent_a madness_n in_o people_n to_o seek_v after_o such_o a_o place_n which_o be_v prepare_v for_o none_o but_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n matth._n 13._o and_o where_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o weep_v and_o howl_v and_o gnash_v of_o tooth_n good_a christian_n my_o counsel_n be_v that_o you_o employ_v all_o the_o faculty_n of_o your_o soul_n and_o sense_n to_o seek_v after_o heaven_n and_o heavenly_a thing_n and_o remember_v the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n who_o say_v seek_v and_o you_o shall_v find_v to_o which_o place_n of_o endless_a joy_n the_o lord_n that_o make_v our_o soul_n receive_v and_o bring_v we_o to_o his_o everlasting_a kingdom_n amen_n finis_fw-la
