understanding_n be_v weak_a &_o especial_o the_o time_n of_o sickness_n be_v so_o fill_v with_o pain_n so_o shake_v with_o distraction_n and_o encumber_v with_o grief_n &_o sorrow_n that_o one_o be_v nothing_o fit_a to_o repent_v or_o pray_v or_o hear_v or_o to_o do_v any_o such_o thing_n now_o when_o a_o man_n in_o the_o prime_n of_o his_o day_n and_o in_o the_o fullness_n of_o his_o health_n will_v give_v himself_o to_o seek_v heaven_n will_v hear_v the_o word_n &_o meditate_v upon_o it_o &_o apply_v it_o to_o himself_o will_v confess_v his_o sin_n and_o force_v himself_o to_o bewail_v they_o will_v pray_v to_o god_n for_o good_a thing_n and_o set_v the_o whole_a course_n of_o his_o life_n in_o a_o right_a frame_n he_o have_v well_o take_v the_o opportunity_n &_o he_o shall_v have_v rest_n in_o his_o latter_a day_n much_o quiet_a and_o contentment_n at_o least_o much_o strength_n &_o assistance_n in_o his_o sickness_n because_o he_o have_v something_o in_o store_n against_o the_o time_n of_o want_n but_o alas_o how_o do_v the_o common_a sort_n of_o man_n beewray_v their_o monstrous_a folly_n in_o this_o behalf_n what_o more_o common_a than_o that_o sottish_a &_o brutish_a speech_n at_o least_o such_o ignorant_a and_o profane_a thought_n man_n will_v repent_v when_o they_o be_v old_a and_o cry_v god_n mercy_n when_o they_o feel_v themselves_o sick_a &_o amend_v all_o when_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o foolish_a man_n thou_o know_v not_o whether_o thou_o shall_v die_v sudden_o whether_o thou_o shall_v have_v thy_o wit_n and_o

sottish_o and_o yet_o how_o do_v man_n for_o all_o these_o warning_n defer_v the_o best_a business_n namely_o the_o work_n of_o repentance_n &_o turn_v to_o god_n which_o will_v require_v the_o whole_a strength_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o the_o worst_a and_o most_o crazy_a time_n of_o sickness_n or_o old_a age_n as_o if_o a_o prisoner_n at_o what_o time_n a_o man_n be_v offer_v he_o a_o

before_o i_o be_o to_o come_v before_o the_o judge_n this_o be_v a_o most_o fond_a part_n especial_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o thief_n know_v not_o whether_o or_o no_o the_o next_o day_n shall_v be_v the_o day_n of_o his_o arraignment_n so_o the_o case_n stand_v betwixt_o the_o lord_n and_o us._n if_o any_o man_n therefore_o have_v be_v so_o little_a careful_a of_o his_o own_o eternal_a good_a as_o to_o put_v off_o repentance_n and_o conversion_n till_o that_o dead_a time_n or_o do_v foster_v any_o such_o harmful_a conceit_n in_o his_o heart_n let_v he_o now_o cast_v it_o out_o &_o now_o that_o he_o have_v his_o health_n and_o strength_n upon_o better_a deliberation_n take_v in_o hand_n this_o work_n be_v not_o so_o extreme_o mad_a as_o to_o give_v more_o time_n to_o the_o devil_n then_o to_o god_n especial_o to_o give_v the_o principal_a time_n he_o be_v a_o foolish_a traveler_n that_o will_v willing_o gallop_v all_o the_o day_n quite_o contrary_a to_o his_o way_n &_o be_v tell_v of_o it_o will_v answer_v when_o it_o draw_v towards_o sunset_n i_o will_v turn_v into_o the_o right_a way_n why_o be_v man_n thus_o blockish_a for_o their_o soul_n that_o know_v themselves_o to_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n to_o life_n will_v yet_o of_o purpose_n defer_v to_o set_v their_o foot_n into_o the_o right_a path_n till_o sickness_n or_o age_n when_o the_o sun_n of_o their_o life_n be_v at_o the_o point_n of_o set_v ah_o let_v our_o proverb_n teach_v we_o more_o wit_n make_v hay_n while_o the_o sun_n shine_v turn_v turn_v whilst_o thou_o have_v health_n and_o strength_n use_v all_o to_o get_v repentance_n &_o salvation_n the_o last_o chief_a opportunity_n of_o get_v good_a be_v when_o a_o man_n have_v company_n and_o be_v in_o the_o society_n of_o some_o godly_a wise_a man_n able_a to_o give_v sound_a council_n and_o direction_n able_a to_o answer_v all_o doubt_n objection_n and_o scruple_n of_o one_o mind_n now_o there_o be_v a_o fit_a opportunity_n to_o grow_v in_o wisdom_n to_o be_v resolve_v of_o all_o doubt_n and_o to_o seek_v direction_n so_o then_o a_o man_n ought_v not_o to_o suffer_v bashfulness_n or_o other_o foolish_a matter_n to_o put_v by_o that_o good_a communication_n whereby_o he_o may_v enrich_v his_o soul_n it_o it_o a_o special_a favour_n of_o god_n that_o any_o man_n can_v come_v where_o his_o servant_n be_v that_o have_v excellent_a gift_n and_o he_o do_v deprive_v himself_o of_o much_o good_a that_o will_v not_o seek_v to_o benefit_v himself_o by_o they_o when_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n perceive_v christ_n to_o be_v a_o prophet_n she_o propose_v her_o doubt_n unto_o he_o albeit_o he_o be_v a_o stranger_n when_o john_n baptist_n may_v be_v come_v to_o the_o publican_n &_o sinner_n come_v and_o ask_v what_o they_o shall_v do_v whilst_o the_o jailer_n have_v paul_n in_o his_o keep_n he_o come_v to_o ask_v that_o needful_a question_n what_o shall_v i_o do_v to_o be_v save_v so_o if_o there_o be_v any_o man_n who_o heart_n be_v perplex_v with_o some_o doubt_n or_o overburden_v with_o some_o temptation_n or_o overmaster_v by_o some_o sin_n it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o good_a discretion_n for_o such_o a_o one_o to_o go_v and_o seek_v the_o advice_n of_o some_o able_a christian_a or_o wise_a man_n before_o that_o either_o himself_o be_v too_o far_o go_v or_o he_o want_v the_o opportunity_n of_o such_o a_o councillor_n or_o helper_n these_o be_v three_o special_a occasion_n of_o obtain_v good_a to_o a_o man_n own_o soul_n from_o thing_n without_o he_o in_o all_o which_o to_o take_v the_o time_n be_v a_o most_o commendable_a point_n of_o wisdom_n but_o to_o be_v negligent_a be_v such_o folly_n as_o solomon_n reprove_v when_o he_o say_v that_o a_o fool_n have_v a_o price_n in_o his_o hand_n to_o

i_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o occasion_n of_o do_v good_a and_o these_o be_v either_o in_o other_o or_o in_o out_o self_n first_o in_o other_o and_o that_o for_o their_o soul_n &_o body_n sometime_o a_o man_n shall_v find_v a_o kind_n of_o tractablenesse_n in_o those_o with_o who_o he_o have_v to_o deal_v that_o their_o ear_n stand_v open_a and_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o drink_v in_o a_o exhortation_n or_o reproof_n by_o reason_n of_o some_o affliction_n that_o be_v upon_o they_o or_o some_o need_n they_o have_v of_o our_o help_n or_o such_o like_a occasion_n here_o be_v time_n for_o a_o kind_n and_o sound_a admonition_n than_o a_o man_n ought_v in_o all_o love_n and_o yet_o with_o all_o plainness_n to_o follow_v the_o occasion_n strike_v as_o our_o proverb_n be_v whilst_o the_o iron_n be_v hot_a speak_v when_o he_o see_v he_o in_o the_o melt_a vain_a ready_a to_o take_v all_o well_o and_o in_o good_a part_n and_o so_o elihn_n note_n that_o when_o a_o man_n be_v buy_v to_o his_o death_n bed_n and_o to_o abhor_v all_o worldly_a delight_n than_o his_o ear_n be_v bore_v and_o then_o there_o be_v work_v for_o a_o interpreter_n before_o the_o bone_n clatter_v and_o the_o mourner_n look_v for_o the_o funeral_n a_o interpreter_n be_v despise_v but_o now_o his_o word_n be_v observe_v thus_o a_o man_n may_v do_v much_o good_a to_o his_o neighbour_n or_o servant_n soul_n if_o he_o wait_v for_o a_o time_n when_o he_o be_v fit_a to_o receive_v admonition_n &_o then_o give_v it_o he_o as_o the_o husbandman_n in_o dry_a weather_n wait_v for_o a_o shower_n of_o rain_n and_o then_o set_v in_o his_o plow_n again_o for_o the_o body_n sometime_o one_o shall_v meet_v with_o one_o that_o have_v true_a need_n that_o be_v in_o distress_n for_o his_o bodily_a
