the_o world_n and_o all_o the_o creature_n therein_o do_v bring_v we_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v only_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o heathen_a people_n but_o yet_o this_o

and_o this_o be_v the_o scripture_n of_o the_o christian_n through_o which_o knowledge_n of_o god_n in_o respect_n of_o christ_n we_o learn_v that_o god_n have_v enter_v into_o a_o covenant_n with_o

that_o god_n do_v in_o mercy_n and_o favour_n reward_v the_o good_a and_o according_a to_o his_o justice_n punish_v the_o offender_n and_o that_o therefore_o he_o have_v prepare_v joy_n and_o

respect_n of_o which_o knowledge_n of_o god_n the_o scripture_n do_v persuade_v we_o so_o to_o live_v in_o this_o world_n that_o
heaven_n which_o shall_v be_v immutable_a and_o without_o change_n and_o without_o swerve_v for_o than_o shall_v we_o do_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o good_a be_v and_o that_o with_o a_o constant_a

but_o when_o through_o his_o folly_n he_o perceive_v his_o day_n to_o be_v shorten_v he_o wonder_v at_o the_o one_o and_o grieve_v to_o remember_v the_o other_o the_o estate_n of_o immortality_n wherein_o our_o first_o parent_n be_v create_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o continuance_n and_o endurance_n of_o life_n and_o a_o freedom_n from_o death_n and_o although_o it_o be_v now_o usual_a and_o common_a and_o nothing_o more_o common_a then_o for_o every_o one_o of_o we_o to_o die_v yet_o at_o the_o first_o it_o be_v not_o so_o if_o our_o first_o parent_n have_v obey_v they_o have_v never_o suffer_v death_n but_o when_o they_o give_v themselves_o to_o sin_n and_o to_o deceitful_a vanity_n than_o they_o know_v themselves_o to_o be_v mortal_a and_o then_o death_n come_v upon_o

in_o the_o godly_a there_o be_v a_o great_a desire_n of_o death_n what_o move_v they_o hereunto_o even_o this_o that_o they_o may_v enjoy_v immortality_n and_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o that_o
