and_o thou_o will_v not_o sin_n for_o ever_o of_o the_o four_o last_o thing_n of_o death_n chap._n i._n omit_v the_o diverse_a explication_n which_o devout_a man_n have_v make_v of_o death_n let_v we_o only_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v a_o good_a and_o a_o bad_a death_n the_o one_o a_o entrance_n into_o joy_n the_o other_o into_o torment_n of_o those_o who_o die_v a_o happy_a death_n we_o have_v this_o beatification_n out_o of_o holy_a scripture_n 14._o apoc._n 14._o beati_fw-la mortui_fw-la qui_fw-la in_o domino_fw-la moriuntur_fw-la blessed_n be_v the_o dead_a who_o die_v in_o our_o lord_n where_o i_o will_v have_v thou_o note_n that_o they_o be_v term_v bless_v who_o be_v dead_a and_o afterward_o die_v bless_a be_v the_o dead_a who_o dye_n not_o the_o live_n whence_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o it_o be_v a_o blessedness_n to_o begin_v betimes_o to_o die_v to_o this_o world_n and_o not_o to_o be_v find_v live_v when_o death_n shall_v come_v of_o the_o other_o death_n the_o royal_a prophet_n tell_v we_o what_o it_o be_v 33._o psal_n 33._o mors_fw-la peccatorum_fw-la pessima_fw-la the_o death_n of_o sinner_n be_v the_o worst_a and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o sinner_n take_v upon_o they_o to_o live_v to_o much_o in_o this_o life_n and_o neglect_v the_o memory_n of_o death_n think_v there_o shall_v be_v no_o end_n of_o enjoy_v their_o pleasure_n to_o this_o effect_n the_o same_o prophet_n say_v vidi_n impium_fw-la superexaltatum_fw-la et_fw-la elevatum_fw-la super_fw-la cedros_fw-la libani_n 36._o psal_n 36._o et_fw-la transivi_fw-la et_fw-la ecce_fw-la non_fw-la erat_fw-la etc._n etc._n i_o have_v see_v say_v he_o the_o impious_a man_n high_o exalt_v and_o advance_v as_o the_o cedar_n of_o libanus_n and_o i_o pass_v by_o &_o behold_v he_o be_v not_o and_o i_o seek_v he_o and_o his_o place_n be_v not_o find_v and_o indeed_o happy_a it_o be_v for_o the_o sinner_n if_o after_o this_o life_n he_o have_v no_o place_n or_o be_v since_o both_o his_o place_n &_o being_n shall_v be_v so_o miserable_a 1._o consider_v man_n nature_n to_o be_v such_o that_o it_o can_v possible_o avoid_v death_n it_o remain_v as_o a_o punishment_n for_o that_o sin_n which_o we_o all_o consent_v unto_o in_o our_o first_o parent_n therefore_o that_o thou_o may_v the_o better_o consider_v this_o death_n imagine_v thyself_o who_o must_v once_o die_v to_o lie_v upon_o thy_o death_n bed_n lament_v by_o thy_o friend_n despair_v of_o by_o physician_n and_o expect_v hourly_o to_o give_v up_o thy_o last_o breath_n 2._o then_o thou_o will_v easy_o perceive_v thy_o folly_n in_o spend_v so_o much_o time_n which_o be_v give_v thou_o to_o serve_v god_n in_o the_o service_n of_o the_o world_n in_o follow_v thy_o own_o unlawful_a appetite_n and_o reject_v god_n holy_a

of_o resist_v foul_a sin_n and_o the_o like_a but_o alas_o thy_o time_n be_v short_a thou_o have_v many_o purpose_n but_o where_o be_v the_o time_n to_o perform_v they_o in_o after_o this_o life_n there_o be_v no_o time_n of_o satisfaction_n or_o of_o merit_n assure_v thyself_o that_o these_o discourse_n thy_o soul_n will_v have_v at_o that_o terrible_a hour_n therefore_o use_v time_n which_o be_v now_o so_o merciful_o give_v thou_o 25._o de_fw-fr imitat_fw-la christ_n lib_n 2._o cap._n 25._o and_o do_v now_o what_o thou_o will_v then_o have_v wish_v to_o have_v do_v 3._o this_o be_v the_o hour_n of_o indifferency_n in_o which_o thy_o eye_n be_v open_v thou_o shall_v see_v thing_n as_o they_o be_v not_o paint_v and_o false_o set_v forth_o by_o thy_o prejudicate_a affection_n here_o what_o thou_o esteem_v in_o thy_o life_n time_n beautiful_a will_v seem_v foul_a what_o then_o be_v most_o pleasant_a thou_o will_v not_o now_o endure_v to_o behold_v since_o by_o the_o consideration_n of_o death_n we_o grow_v so_o judicious_a to_o esteem_v every_o thing_n as_o it_o deserve_v will_v to_o god_n we_o do_v always_o carry_v about_o with_o we_o the_o memory_n thereof_o how_o sincere_o shall_v we_o then_o serve_v god_n and_o perform_v the_o end_n for_o which_o we_o be_v send_v into_o this_o world_n how_o innocent_o shall_v we_o live_v how_o charitable_o one_o to_o another_o how_o diligent_a in_o perform_v many_o good_a work_n and_o how_o strong_a in_o resist_a sin_n 4._o contemplate_v with_o thyself_o be_v in_o this_o agony_n thy_o life_n be_v more_o and_o more_o despair_v off_o that_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n et_fw-la qui_fw-la iuxta_fw-la i_o erant_fw-la de_fw-fr long_a steterunt_fw-la 37._o psal_n 37._o and_o they_o who_o be_v near_o i_o stand_v a_o far_o of_o from_o i_o even_o thy_o very_a friend_n will_v leave_v thou_o show_v their_o great_a affection_n by_o shed_v a_o few_o unprofitable_a or_o feigned_a tear_n for_o thou_o and_o be_v thus_o leave_v of_o all_o consider_v what_o the_o friendship_n of_o this_o world_n be_v which_o be_v end_v by_o death_n if_o it_o last_o so_o long_o make_v thy_o friendship_n therefore_o with_o the_o saint_n and_o angel_n who_o will_v never_o leave_v thou_o but_o chief_o make_v friendship_n with_o good_a work_n gather_v as_o many_o together_o as_o thou_o can_v while_o thou_o be_v in_o perfect_a health_n for_o they_o be_v those_o who_o be_v to_o be_v thy_o chief_a friend_n who_o will_v not_o fear_v to_o appear_v with_o thou_o before_o that_o severe_a judge_n &_o allege_v strong_a argument_n for_o thou_o will_v bring_v thou_o to_o eternal_a happiness_n 5._o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o great_a moment_n to_o imprint_v in_o thy_o soul_n the_o consideration_n for_o what_o place_n we_o be_v create_v if_o we_o persuade_v ourselves_o we_o be_v make_v for_o this_o world_n we_o be_v much_o deceive_v for_o place_v thyself_o as_o thou_o do_v before_o in_o the_o point_n of_o death_n thou_o shall_v see_v thou_o be_v create_v for_o a_o other_o world_n which_o be_v to_o last_v for_o ever_o it_o be_v but_o the_o body_n the_o mean_a part_n of_o thou_o that_o die_v now_o thy_o soul_n be_v

be_v because_o it_o rule_v the_o body_n and_o make_v that_o sensual_a part_n obey_v unto_o reason_n but_o if_o thy_o soul_n depart_v from_o thy_o body_n be_v condemn_v to_o eternal_a pain_n it_o be_v because_o thy_o soul_n behave_v itself_o like_o a_o slave_n obey_v her_o servant_n and_o permit_v that_o to_o command_z which_o be_v create_v to_o obey_v 6._o if_o the_o place_n of_o thyself_o near_o unto_o death_n have_v make_v thou_o more_o capable_a to_o understand_v the_o danger_n of_o thy_o estate_n serious_o think_v with_o thyself_o and_o without_o any_o art_n of_o persuasion_n that_o thou_o
