these_o two_o reason_n 1._o because_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v any_o certain_a day_n or_o hour_n of_o any_o man_n death_n 2_o because_o we_o have_v medicine_n prepare_v for_o we_o by_o he_o who_o have_v create_v we_o both_o to_o preserve_v we_o from_o disease_n and_o to_o drive_v out_o disease_n hence_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o neither_o disease_n bring_v death_n neither_o be_v death_n the_o cause_n of_o disease_n nay_o death_n and_o disease_n agree_v no_o better_a than_o fire_n and_o water_n a_o natural_a disease_n hate_v death_n as_o every_o part_n of_o the_o live_a
