a_o wicked_a man_n may_v die_v in_o stupidity_n but_o not_o in_o peace_n he_o may_v then_o be_v secure_a but_o he_o be_v not_o safe_a though_o he_o then_o have_v no_o trouble_n yet_o he_o have_v

he_o can_v die_v in_o peace_n but_o now_o a_o godly_a man_n who_o heart_n be_v sprinkle_v from_o a_o evil_a conscience_n have_v peace_n in_o his_o death_n usual_o he_o have_v peace_n with_o his_o

your_o weapon_n of_o rebellion_n and_o return_v unto_o your_o duty_n how_o can_v those_o person_n rational_o hope_v that_o god_n shall_v be_v a_o friend_n to_o they_o when_o they_o die_v who_o be_v

the_o peace_n and_o the_o prince_n of_o peace_n there_o be_v no_o peace_n to_o be_v have_v out_o of_o christ._n let_v he_o say_v god_n lay_v hold_v upon_o my_o strength_n that_o be_v upon_o christ_n that_o he_o may_v make_v peace_n with_o i_o and_o he_o shall_v make_v peace_n with_o i_o have_v a_o care_n that_o you_o be_v not_o find_v in_o your_o sin_n nor_o in_o yourselves_o nor_o in_o your_o

thus_o good_a simeon_n be_v here_o he_o pray_v for_o death_n let_v i_o depart_v let_v i_o be_v go_v out_o of_o this_o world_n do_v thou_o lord_n send_v for_o i_o that_o i_o may_v come_v to_o thou_o
