the_o virgin_n my_o heart_n do_v magnify_v the_o lord_n and_o the_o heart_n will_v apply_v it_o to_o the_o ear_n and_o to_o the_o tongue_n as_o christ_n say_v out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o mouth_n speak_v the_o last_o point_n be_v that_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n make_v we_o to_o apply_v our_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n moses_n command_v not_o a_o many_o book_n to_o a_o wise_a man_n learned_a but_o as_o david_n commend_v one_o book_n instead_o of_o many_o meditation_n in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n day_n and_o night_n for_o the_o read_n of_o many_o book_n say_v solomon_n be_v but_o weariness_n to_o the_o flesh_n therefore_o as_o though_o moses_n have_v mark_v what_o do_v move_v he_o most_o to_o seek_v after_o god_n he_o pray_v that_o that_o thought_n may_v run_v in_o his_o mind_n still_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n as_o many_o benefit_n come_v unto_o we_o by_o death_n so_o many_o benefit_n come_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n and_o this_o be_v one_o viz._n it_o make_v a_o man_n to_o apply_v his_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n for_o when_o he_o consider_v that_o he_o have_v but_o a_o short_a time_n to_o live_v he_o be_v careful_a to_o spend_v it_o well_o like_a moses_n of_o who_o it_o be_v say_v that_o when_o he_o consider_v how_o he_o have_v but_o a_o season_n to_o live_v he_o choose_v rather_o to_o suffer_v affliction_n with_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n then_o to_o enjoy_v the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n for_o a_o season_n this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v the_o old_a man_n fast_o and_o watch_v &_o prepare_v themselves_o more_o then_o young_a man_n because_o they_o think_v themselves_o near_o the_o grave_a like_o old_a isaac_n which_o when_o he_o be_v blind_a for_o age_n say_v unto_o esau_n behold_v i_o be_o now_o old_a and_o know_v not_o the_o day_n of_o my_o death_n that_o be_v because_o i_o be_o old_a i_o look_v to_o die_v short_o and_o therefore_o as_o isaiah_n teach_v ezechias_n to_o set_v all_o thing_n in_o order_n before_o he_o die_v so_o he_o call_v his_o elder_a son_n to_o who_o he_o think_v his_o inheritance_n belong_v that_o he_o may_v bless_v he_o before_o he_o die_v this_o wisdom_n the_o father_n call_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o cross_n which_o we_o call_v the_o best_a because_o it_o be_v the_o dear_a buy_v it_o be_v hard_o for_o a_o man_n to_o think_v of_o a_o short_a life_n and_o think_v evil_a or_o to_o think_v of_o a_o long_a life_n and_o think_v well_o therefore_o when_o jeremy_n have_v number_v all_o the_o calamity_n and_o ●ins_n of_o the_o jew_n at_o last_o he_o impute_v all_o to_o his_o lamentation_n the_o 1._o and_o the_o 9_o she_o remember_v not_o her_o end_n so_o if_o i_o may_v judge_v why_o natural_a man_n care_v for_o nothing_o but_o their_o pomp_n why_o great_a man_n care_v for_o nothing_o but_o their_o honour_n and_o dignity_n why_o covetous_a worldling_n care_v for_o nothing_o but_o their_o gain_n why_o voluptuous_a epicure_n care_v for_o nothing_o but_o their_o pleasure_n i_o may_v say_v with_o jeremy_n they_o remember_v not_o their_o end_n we_o never_o covet_v the_o same_o thing_n live_v and_o die_v therefore_o when_o solomon_n have_v speak_v of_o all_o the_o vanity_n of_o man_n at_o last_o he_o tell_v they_o all_o eccles_n 11._o v._n 9_o remember_v that_o for_o all_o these_o thing_n thou_o shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v man_n will_v never_o speak_v as_o they_o speak_v nor_o do_v as_o they_o do_v if_o they_o do_v but_o think_v their_o speech_n and_o deed_n shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n as_o the_o bird_n guide_v her_o flight_n with_o her_o trian_n so_o the_o life_n of_o man_n be_v best_a direct_v with_o a_o continual_a recourse_n unto_o his_o end_n which_o be_v in_o the_o number_n of_o our_o day_n let_v we_o consider_v what_o a_o harvest_n we_o have_v lose_v which_o happy_o before_o this_o time_n we_o never_o pray_v with_o moses_n that_o the_o lord_n will_v teach_v we_o to_o number_v our_o day_n so_o that_o we_o may_v apply_v our_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n but_o as_o the_o old_a year_n go_v and_o a_o new_a year_n come_v so_o we_o think_v that_o a_o new_a year_n will_v follow_v that_o and_o so_o we_o think_v that_o another_o will_v follow_v this_o and_o so_o they_o think_v that_o be_v dead_a long_o ago_o this_o be_v not_o to_o number_v our_o day_n but_o to_o provoke_v god_n to_o shorten_v our_o day_n there_o be_v but_o few_o here_o but_o have_v see_v twenty_o year_n now_o if_o we_o have_v but_o every_o year_n learn_v one_o virtue_n since_o we_o be_v bear_v we_o may_v by_o this_o time_n have_v be_v like_o saint_n among_o man_n but_o the_o time_n be_v yet_o to_o come_v when_o we_o shall_v apply_v our_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n to_o riches_n and_o pleasure_n we_o have_v apply_v our_o heart_n and_o our_o eye_n and_o our_o ear_n and_o our_o hand_n too_o but_o to_o wisdom_n we_o have_v not_o apply_v our_o heart_n there_o be_v many_o cause_n but_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o cause_n if_o we_o have_v number_v our_o day_n for_o sure_o if_o a_o man_n can_v persuade_v himself_o that_o this_o be_v the_o last_o day_n as_o it_o may_v be_v he_o will_v not_o defer_v his_o repentance_n until_o to_o morrow_o if_o he_o can_v think_v that_o this_o be_v his_o last_o meal_n that_o ever_o he_o shall_v eat_v he_o will_v not_o surfeit_v of_o it_o if_o he_o can_v believe_v that_o the_o word_n which_o he_o do_v speak_v to_o day_n shall_v be_v the_o last_o word_n that_o ever_o he_o shall_v speak_v he_o will_v not_o offend_v with_o his_o tongue_n if_o he_o can_v be_v persuade_v that_o this_o sermon_n shall_v be_v the_o last_o sermon_n that_o ever_o he_o shall_v hear_v he_o will_v hear_v it_o better_o than_o ever_o he_o hear_v any_o yet_o whilst_o breach_n be_v in_o the_o body_n the_o heart_n may_v apply_v itself_o and_o the_o eye_n may_v apply_v itself_o and_o the_o ear_n may_v apply_v itself_o and_o the_o hand_n may_v apply_v itself_o work_v while_o it_o be_v light_n i_o can_v but_o admonish_v you_o with_o word_n as_o john_n baptize_v with_o water_n as_o moses_n pray_v the_o lord_n to_o number_v his_o day_n so_o you_o must_v pray_v the_o lord_n to_o teach_v you_o to_o number_v your_o day_n it_o may_v be_v that_o thou_o hall_n but_o twenty_o year_n to_o serve_v god_n will_v thou_o not_o live_v twenty_o year_n like_o a_o christian_a that_o thou_o maill_v live_v a_o thousand_o year_n like_o a_o angel_n it_o may_v be_v that_o thou_o have_v but_o ten_o year_n to_o serve_v he_o will_v not_o thou_o serve_v ten_o year_n for_o heaven_n which_o will_v serve_v twenty_o year_n for_o a_o farm_n it_o may_v be_v that_o thou_o have_v but_o five_o year_n well_o to_o redeem_v all_o thy_o former_a misspend_v year_n whereby_o to_o gain_v a_o eternal_a be_v in_o heaven_n yet_o god_n do_v know_v whether_o many_o here_o present_a or_o any_o here_o present_a have_v so_o long_o to_o live_v to_o repent_v for_o all_o the_o year_n we_o have_v spend_v in_o ●…n_n if_o thou_o be_v it_o bear_v to_o day_n thy_o journey_n be_v not_o a_o hundred_o year_n if_o thou_o be_v a_o man_n half_a thy_o time_n be_v spend_v already_o if_o thou_o be_v a_o old_a man_n than_o thou_o be_v draw_v to_o thy_o inn_n and_o thy_o race_n be_v but_o a_o breach_n therefore_o as_o christ_n say_v to_o his_o disciple_n when_o he_o find_v they_o sleep_a can_v you_o not_o watch_v one_o hour_n so_o i_o say_v to_o myself_o and_o to_o you_o all_o here_o present_a can_v we_o not_o pray_v can_v we_o not_o suffer_v a_o little_a while_n he_o which_o be_v tire_v can_v travel_v a_o little_a way_n a_o little_a further_o one_o step_n more_o for_o a_o kingdom_n for_o this_o god_n will_v not_o have_v man_n know_v when_o they_o shall_v die_v because_o they_o shall_v make_v ready_a at_o all_o time_n have_v no_o more_o certainty_n of_o one_o hour_n then_o another_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n say_v watch_n because_o you_o know_v not_o when_o the_o lord_n will_v come_v to_o take_v you_o and_o judge_v you_o happy_a be_v they_o which_o hear_v the_o word_n and_o keep_v it_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o death_n be_v the_o last_o upon_o earth_n that_o the_o time_n of_o man_n be_v set_v that_o his_o race_n be_v short_a that_o he_o think_v not_o of_o it_o that_o if_o he_o do_v remember_v it_o it_o mould_v make_v he_o apply_v his_o mind_n to_o good_a as_o he_o do_v to_o evil._n and_o now_o i_o end_v as_o i_o begin_v the_o lord_n teach_v we_o to_o number_v our_o day_n that_o we_o may_v apply_v our_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n amen_n finis_fw-la a_o catalogue_n of_o book_n sell_v by_o
