look_v upon_o or_o that_o that_o the_o public_a robbery_n have_v not_o hit_v and_o that_o howsoever_o have_v not_o be_v bereave_v of_o his_o good_n by_o the_o desolation_n of_o the_o country_n and_o send_v way_n naked_a as_o a_o man_n escape_v from_o a_o shipwreck_n it_o be_v here_o where_o one_o must_v show_v himself_o a_o man_n and_o make_v appear_v that_o virtue_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o word_n but_o in_o brave_a and_o generous_a resolution_n it_o be_v needful_a first_o for_o the_o good_a citizen_n to_o bear_v patient_o his_o affliction_n judge_v well_o and_o religious_o of_o divine_a

unto_o who_o common_a evil_n he_o ought_v to_o participate_v as_o he_o have_v do_v and_o shall_v also_o have_v his_o share_n of_o the_o good_a if_o it_o happen_v second_o i_o desire_v that_o this_o

as_o by_o a_o excellent_a perfect_a pattern_n it_o be_v at_o all_o time_n a_o thing_n worthy_a of_o praise_n to_o serve_v his_o for_o a_o example_n of_o do_v well_o but_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n very_o beneficial_a and_o profitable_a in_o a_o time_n full_a of_o trouble_n and_o calamity_n to_o be_v a_o example_n unto_o they_o of_o patience_n as_o the_o first_o happiness_n be_v to_o avoid_v evil_a so_o the_o second_o be_v to_o bear_v it_o constant_o but_o i_o will_v not_o undertake_v here_o to_o set_v forth_o the_o reason_n which_o move_v we_o to_o this_o constancy_n that_o persuade_v we_o yea_o that_o enforce_v we_o to_o it_o if_o we_o will_v continue_v to_o be_v man_n that_o which_o musaeus_n and_o orpheus_n have_v speak_v of_o it_o before_o i_o be_v more_o than_o sufficient_a

all_o the_o other_o for_o those_o which_o be_v once_o full_o persuade_v that_o death_n be_v but_o a_o passage_n to_o a_o better_a life_n shall_v never_o fear_v it_o now_o if_o death_n beyond_o which_o

of_o that_o suppose_a fortune_n and_o that_o nothing_o happen_v but_o by_o the_o ordinance_n of_o divine_a providence_n that_o heal_v not_o the_o wound_n they_o receive_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o see_v that_o innocency_n be_v a_o subject_n of_o misery_n and_o torment_n if_o you_o make_v they_o see_v nothing_o but_o that_o space_n that_o be_v enclose_v between_o their_o birth_n and_o their_o death_n as_o within_o two_o bound_n i_o do_v not_o see_v why_o they_o shall_v forsake_v the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o world_n to_o disturb_v their_o life_n with_o that_o harsh_a and_o bitter_a virtue_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v offend_v with_o nature_n for_o make_v he_o the_o most_o woeful_a &_o wretched_a creature_n of_o all_o those_o the_o sun_n behold_v and_o laugh_v virtue_n to_o scorn_n that_o set_v forth_o so_o many_o toil_n and_o labour_n without_o any_o reward_n we_o have_v say_v plato_n two_o great_a demon_n which_o put_v we_o forward_o and_o backward_o in_o our_o action_n reward_n and_o punishment_n now_o i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o we_o can_v find_v they_o in_o this_o world_n wherein_o for_o the_o most_o part_n the_o good_a be_v afflict_v and_o the_o wicked_a be_v comfort_v we_o must_v then_o set_v our_o hope_n further_o and_o cause_v they_o to_o pass_v beyond_o the_o bound_n of_o this_o short_a and_o wretched_a life_n and_o know_v that_o death_n be_v the_o first_o of_o all_o our_o true_a good_n and_o the_o beginning_n of_o our_o happiness_n &_o felicity_n man_n be_v not_o only_o mortal_a as_o one_o say_v to_o the_o end_n there_o may_v be_v a_o end_n for_o his_o misery_n and_o that_o the_o good_a may_v be_v praise_v without_o envy_n and_o the_o wicked_a blame_v without_o fear_n that_o riches_n may_v be_v despise_v as_o unprofitable_a after_o it_o but_o special_o to_o this_o end_n that_o the_o good_a may_v be_v eternal_o happy_a and_o the_o wicked_a unhappy_a that_o be_v the_o consolation_n which_o do_v allay_v our_o labour_n and_o feed_v our_o patience_n with_o the_o hope_n or_o rather_o assurance_n of_o a_o life_n eternal_a and_o without_o bind_v that_o wait_v for_o we_o at_o our_o departure_n from_o hence_o whereupon_o will_v to_o god_n we_o can_v meditate_v every_o day_n every_o hour_n and_o every_o moment_n we_o shall_v find_v in_o this_o meditation_n a_o sufficient_a comfort_n to_o our_o adversity_n and_o a_o comely_a moderation_n in_o our_o prosperity_n but_o alas_o we_o keep_v back_o our_o thought_n from_o it_o as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v and_o which_o be_v worst_a many_o believe_v it_o not_o at_o all_o and_o can_v wish_v willing_o to_o be_v no_o more_o after_o death_n lest_o they_o shall_v be_v as_o they_o deserve_v they_o do_v what_o they_o can_v to_o cause_v their_o soul_n to_o die_v with_o their_o body_n and_o go_v and_o borrow_v reason_n of_o ancient_a philosopher_n to_o deny_v and_o overthrow_v the_o only_a scope_n the_o only_a reward_n and_o the_o last_o end_n of_o philosophy_n as_o for_o i_o i_o think_v they_o be_v punish_v enough_o with_o their_o malicious_a opinion_n that_o take_v out_o of_o their_o hand_n the_o chief_a hope_n that_o assuage_v and_o season_v this_o tart_a and_o bitter_a life_n and_o can_v willing_o say_v they_o shall_v even_o suffer_v they_o to_o be_v so_o miserable_a since_o they_o be_v willing_a to_o be_v so_o but_o it_o seem_v that_o you_o have_v lay_v a_o charge_n upon_o i_o to_o upbraid_v they_o with_o their_o error_n and_o condemn_v they_o by_o their_o own_o reason_n for_o you_o can_v not_o prescribe_v unto_o i_o upon_o any_o other_o occasion_n to_o finish_v this_o discourse_n with_o the_o recital_n of_o the_o last_o word_n of_o that_o good_a ancient_a man_n but_o only_o thereby_o to_o convict_v they_o of_o their_o blindness_n by_o the_o

without_o you_o hear_v some_o talk_n of_o the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n no_o more_o than_o they_o of_o the_o death_n of_o the_o body_n of_o perhaps_o as_o the_o memory_n of_o this_o man_n be_v
