be_o enable_v to_o say_v of_o he_o by_o such_o as_o be_v eye_n and_o ear_n witness_n that_o he_o abundant_o enjoy_v that_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d that_o happy_a calmness_n of_o death_n which_o the_o emperor_n augustus_n be_v wont_a to_o pray_v for_o i_o say_v he_o enjoy_v it_o in_o both_o acception_n of_o the_o word_n for_o first_o however_o he_o be_v sick_a of_o a_o burn_a fever_n which_o

have_v part_v like_o two_o friend_n not_o by_o a_o rude_a fall_v out_o but_o a_o love_a farewell_n thus_o be_v his_o euthanasia_n in_o the_o first_o acception_n of_o the_o word_n but_o he_o have_v it_o much_o more_o as_o to_o the_o second_o for_o two_o thing_n there_o be_v which_o be_v wont_a to_o make_v death_n terrible_a the_o first_o be_v suddenness_n the_o second_o sin_n he_o be_v so_o arm_v against_o the_o first_o that_o he_o do_v not_o only_o take_v care_n for_o the_o set_v his_o outward_a house_n in_o order_n 1._o that_o nothing_o in_o this_o world_n may_v trash_v his_o flight_n towards_o a_o better_a but_o also_o send_v for_o the_o divine_a to_o imp_v the_o wing_n of_o his_o devotion_n and_o far_o tell_v his_o physician_n that_o god_n have_v send_v he_o his_o summons_n so_o well_o be_v he_o arm_v against_o the_o first_o of_o those_o phobera_n and_o that_o by_o the_o help_n of_o our_o english_a litany_n which_o prompt_v we_o to_o pray_v against_o sudden_a death_n and_o which_o he_o command_v one_o of_o his_o servant_n to_o assist_v he_o with_o upon_o his_o deathbed_n bestow_v upon_o it_o when_o he_o have_v do_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o holy_a admiration_n again_o so_o well_o be_v he_o prepare_v against_o the_o second_o that_o for_o the_o tenderness_n of_o his_o conscience_n and_o his_o deep_a resentment_n of_o all_o his_o sin_n those_o of_o the_o time_n more_o especial_o in_o which_o he_o deplore_v his_o unhappiness_n that_o he_o have_v have_v a_o great_a share_n till_o god_n be_v please_v in_o much_o mercy_n to_o show_v he_o that_o error_n of_o his_o judgement_n by_o which_o the_o error_n of_o his_o practice_n be_v breed_v and_o cherish_v next_o for_o his_o hatred_n of_o himself_o in_o remembrance_n of_o they_o though_o we_o may_v say_v that_o in_o comparison_n with_o many_o other_o alive_a and_o dead_a he_o have_v keep_v himself_o unspotted_a from_o the_o world_n 27._o then_o for_o his_o steadfast_a resolution_n of_o better_a life_n of_o make_v ample_a satisfaction_n for_o every_o ill_a that_o he_o have_v do_v and_o so_o of_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n 20._o worthy_a of_o repentance_n if_o god_n shall_v be_v please_v to_o enlarge_v his_o time_n and_o last_v of_o all_o for_o his_o solicitude_n that_o all_o his_o 15._o family_n may_v live_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o redeem_v those_o opportunity_n which_o he_o seem_v unto_o himself_o to_o have_v sometime_o lose_v or_o neglect_v i_o say_v in_o all_o these_o respect_n he_o appear_v to_o i_o as_o well_o as_o to_o other_o a_o more_o than_o ordinary_a example_n but_o some_o may_v say_v object_n that_o sick_a person_n be_v ever_o sorry_a for_o their_o sin_n but_o it_o be_v many_o time_n a_o sorrow_n squeeze_v out_o by_o sickness_n and_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o recover_v they_o do_v relapse_n too_o to_o which_o i_o say_v answ._n that_o though_o it_o be_v often_o so_o in_o other_o yet_o in_o this_o exemplary_a christian_n it_o can_v not_o be_v so_o for_o first_o it_o be_v a_o mark_n of_o his_o sincerity_n that_o he_o look_v upon_o his_o fail_n as_o through_o a_o microscope_n which_o make_v they_o seem_v near_o and_o very_o much_o great_a than_o they_o be_v he_o warn_v all_o those_o who_o stand_v about_o his_o sick_a bed_n to_o beware_v of_o those_o sin_n which_o the_o world_n call_v little_a and_o of_o the_o n●-little_a sin_n which_o the_o world_n call_v none_o yea_o from_o the_o very_o least_o 22_o appearance_n and_o opportunity_n of_o sin_n it_o be_v his_o own_o expression_n that_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o former_a life_n do_v even_o kick_v in_o his_o very_a face_n 8._o yet_o he_o remember_v the_o 9_o labourer_n who_o go_v late_o into_o the_o vineyard_n and_o be_v reward_v he_o also_o make_v some_o reflection_n upon_o the_o 43._o thief_n on_o the_o cross_n that_o his_o faith_n may_v steer_v a_o even_a course_n betwixt_o the_o scylla_n of_o despair_n and_o the_o charybdis_n of_o presumption_n second_o it_o be_v another_o good_a token_n of_o his_o sincerity_n that_o he_o be_v not_o mere_o a_o deathbed_n penitent_a who_o repentance_n too_o too_o often_o be_v but_o a_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d a_o sorrow_n according_a to_o the_o world_n but_o as_o divers_a person_n can_v witness_v he_o begin_v the_o great_a work_n in_o his_o time_n of_o health_n so_o as_o his_o sickness_n do_v but_o declare_v his_o have_v be_v a_o 17._o new_a creature_n by_o 9_o change_n of_o mind_n and_o that_o he_o do_v not_o fall_v back_o but_o 14._o press_v forward_o towards_o the_o mark_n and_o persevere_v in_o so_o do_v unto_o the_o 13._o end_n three_o it_o be_v another_o mark_n of_o his_o sincerity_n that_o he_o insist_v on_o the_o nature_n of_o true_a repentance_n which_o still_o import_v a_o amendment_n and_o reformation_n of_o life_n nor_o have_v he_o a_o willingness_n to_o recover_v his_o former_a health_n unless_o to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v demonstrate_v his_o renovation_n by_o that_o carefulness_n that_o fear_n that_o indignation_n that_o vehement_a desire_n that_o zeal_n yea_o that_o revenge_n which_o s._n paul_n have_v record_v as_o the_o effect_n of_o a_o godly_a sorrow_n in_o his_o corinthian_n 11._o abhor_v and_o deplore_a those_o desperate_a notion_n of_o repentance_n which_o the_o world_n be_v so_o common_o mistake_v in_o four_o it_o be_v a_o comfortable_a token_n of_o his_o sincerity_n that_o he_o be_v obstinate_a in_o his_o prayer_n against_o the_o precept_n of_o his_o physician_n and_o resolve_v to_o pour_v out_o his_o soul_n though_o to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o his_o body_n as_o if_o he_o be_v pious_o
