of_o it_o imagine_v that_o the_o party_n so_o undertake_v do_v intend_v to_o cast_v a_o figure_n and_o to_o tell_v fortune_n as_o we_o call_v it_o but_o if_o you_o will_v careful_o attend_v to_o the_o

sober_a divine_a to_o resolve_v to_o the_o question_n than_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o to_o speak_v within_o some_o latitude_n and_o compass_v of_o time_n or_o in_o general_a wise_a it_o may_v well_o be_v know_v how_o short_a our_o time_n be_v in_o this_o sort_n i_o say_v the_o shortneste_a of_o our_o time_n may_v be_v know_v by_o those_o various_a metaphor_n similitude_n or_o comparison_n wherewith_o in_o the_o follow_a scripture_n man_n his_o life_n &_o day_n be_v set_v forth_o in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n job._n 7.6_o 7._o &_o 9.25_o 26._o psal_n 38.39_o &_o 103.15_o 16._o 144_o 4._o

psal_n 39.5_o because_o that_o scripture_n come_v very_o near_o to_o the_o metaphor_n which_o paul_n use_v in_o the_o text_n there_o we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v roll_v up_o our_o time_n so_o close_o and_o near_o together_o that_o there_o be_v but_o the_o scantling_n of_o a_o hand-bredth_n lest_o unto_o we_o second_o to_o speak_v punctual_o to_o a_o point_n or_o moment_n of_o time_n there_o be_v no_o man_n able_a to_o say_v how_o short_a the_o time_n be_v whether_o in_o respect_n of_o christ_n second_o come_v or_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o own_o death_n first_o none_o know_v the_o punctual_a time_n day_n or_o hour_n when_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n and_o for_o proof_n thereof_o see_v mat._n 24.36_o &c_n &c_n 25.13_o mar._n 13.35_o 2_o that_o none_o know_v

people_n for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v aware_a of_o may_v be_v prove_v by_o luk._n 21.35_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n shall_v come_v as_o a_o snare_n upon_o the_o

for_o christ_n come_v to_o judgement_n when_o he_o come_v as_o sodom_n or_o as_o the_o old_a world_n do_v expect_v the_o desrtruction_n of_o fire_n or_o the_o deluge_n of_o water_n second_o that_o the_o time_n betwixt_o this_o and_o our_o die_a day_n be_v short_a than_o the_o most_o do_v imagine_v may_v be_v prove_v by_o eccle._n 9.12_o where_o it_o be_v affirm_v that_o death_n come_v and_o seize_v upon_o the_o most_o of_o man_n even_o as_o unexpected_o as_o the_o net_n or_o snare_n do_v the_o fish_n or_o foul_a the_o truth_n of_o this_o be_v see_v in_o sad_a and_o frequent_a
