upon_o the_o wing_n just_a ready_a to_o take_v seizure_n of_o heaven_n and_o of_o all_o the_o glory_n that_o be_v the_o promise_a reward_n of_o virtue_n and_o innocence_n and_o to_o urge_v we_o

ever_o able_a to_o produce_v who_o death_n by_o the_o benignity_n of_o heaven_n attract_v the_o desire_n of_o all_o man_n it_o be_v suitable_a to_o the_o integrity_n of_o her_o life_n and_o correspondent_a to_o the_o course_n of_o she_o live_v here_o it_o be_v a_o effect_n and_o demonstration_n of_o the_o holiness_n of_o her_o conversation_n and_o will_v powerful_o recommend_v the_o

the_o assurance_n she_o enjoy_v of_o a_o everlasting_a rest_n in_o heaven_n she_o have_v be_v initiate_v early_o into_o the_o principle_n of_o religion_n and_o remember_v her_o creator_n in_o the_o day_n of_o her_o youth_n so_o that_o when_o god_n in_o mercy_n think_v fit_a to_o take_v she_o to_o himself_o and_o to_o exchange_v her_o corruptible_a crown_n for_o a_o immarcessible_a one_o in_o glory_n he_o be_v please_v not_o to_o leave_v himself_o without_o a_o witness_n of_o his_o government_n but_o in_o the_o terrible_a day_n of_o trial_n to_o demonstrate_v to_o the_o world_n that_o goodness_n and_o virtue_n be_v substantial_a blessing_n that_o they_o will_v bring_v a_o man_n peace_n at_o the_o last_o that_o they_o be_v able_a to_o fortify_v the_o mind_n with_o patience_n under_o the_o severe_a pressure_n and_o by_o open_v a_o view_n of_o heaven_n above_o to_o yield_v comfort_n to_o the_o most_o languish_a soul_n under_o any_o worldly_a calamity_n or_o affliction_n when_o therefore_o a_o instance_n of_o such_o goodness_n and_o such_o a_o glorious_a departure_n be_v present_a to_o our_o thought_n how_o forcible_o must_v mankind_n be_v excite_v to_o wish_v from_o the_o very_a bottom_n of_o their_o soul_n to_o die_v the_o death_n of_o the_o righteous_a and_o that_o their_o last_o end_n may_v be_v like_o he_o now_o in_o prosecute_a this_o matter_n though_o i_o shall_v have_v no_o necessity_n to_o piece_v the_o text_n either_o with_o the_o forego_n or_o follow_v verse_n yet_o i_o find_v myself_o constrain_v to_o beg_v this_o supposition_n that_o as_o the_o most_o proper_a and_o suitable_a season_n the_o word_n may_v be_v imagine_v to_o be_v utter_v upon_o the_o view_n of_o a_o righteous_a person_n be_v go_v off_o to_o eternity_n and_o then_o the_o motive_n that_o render_v his_o death_n desirable_a may_v be_v reduce_v to_o these_o three_o head_n which_o i_o shall_v several_o apply_v at_o the_o end_n of_o this_o discourse_n to_o our_o late_a queen_n and_o to_o the_o sad_a occasion_n of_o this_o day_n solemnity_n i._n first_o to_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o innocency_n of_o the_o righteous_a man_n life_n in_o the_o whole_a course_n and_o tenor_n of_o his_o action_n ii_o second_o to_o his_o peaceable_a carriage_n and_o deportment_n in_o his_o sickness_n or_o upon_o his_o deathbed_n iii_o and_o last_o to_o the_o assurance_n he_o have_v of_o enjoy_v heaven_n hereafter_o and_o secure_v himself_o of_o happiness_n to_o all_o eternity_n now_o though_o all_o these_o qualification_n be_v not_o always_o the_o ingredient_n of_o a_o righteous_a man_n life_n or_o do_v necessary_o denominate_v or_o constitute_v he_o such_o but_o god_n be_v please_v sometime_o without_o any_o visible_a or_o previous_a course_n of_o piety_n before_o to_o make_v use_n of_o his_o prerogative_n and_o pardon_v a_o sinner_n at_o the_o last_o upon_o repentance_n yet_o as_o this_o be_v a_o case_n which_o very_o rare_o happen_v and_o not_o man_n at_o that_o season_n can_v be_v moral_o secure_v of_o the_o sincerity_n of_o his_o intention_n so_o the_o person_n that_o die_v in_o these_o circumstance_n want_v the_o comfort_n of_o a_o good_a reflection_n whereas_o the_o just_a man_n that_o need_v no_o repentance_n as_o the_o scripture_n style_v he_o luke_n 15.7_o have_v the_o advantage_n of_o see_v heaven_n before_o he_o and_o his_o good_a work_n behind_o for_o his_o consolation_n he_o look_v upon_o heaven_n through_o the_o best_a end_n of_o the_o perspective_n and_o upon_o his_o good_a work_n through_o the_o reverse_n but_o both_o yield_v he_o a_o delightful_a prospect_n now_o all_o these_o mark_n of_o a_o righteous_a person_n be_v eminent_o unite_v and_o centre_v in_o the_o character_n of_o our_o late_a gracious_a queen_n she_o be_v from_o her_o infancy_n from_o the_o dawn_n of_o life_n to_o the_o set_v thereof_o a_o constant_a uniform_a pattern_n of_o all_o virtue_n and_o obedience_n the_o most_o remarkable_a creature_n for_o patience_n under_o the_o afflict_a hand_n of_o god_n in_o her_o sickness_n and_o what_o endue_v she_o with_o this_o composedness_n of_o spirit_n have_v a_o plerophory_n and_o inward_a hope_n and_o a_o certain_a assurance_n of_o her_o reward_n in_o heaven_n i._o i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o that_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o innocence_n of_o the_o righteous_a man_n life_n be_v a_o main_a motive_n and_o inducement_n for_o we_o to_o covet_v to_o die_v his_o death_n it_o be_v observable_a in_o the_o rise_n and_o beginning_n of_o sickness_n when_o disease_n make_v their_o approach_n and_o gradual_o seize_v upon_o the_o vital_n if_o they_o do_v not_o come_v in_o such_o a_o astonish_a manner_n as_o to_o stupefy_v the_o sense_n and_o benumb_v the_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n there_o be_v
