one_o that_o go_v out_o of_o prison_n that_o be_v to_o say_v with_o cheerfulness_n and_o assurance_n of_o salvation_n yet_o nevertheless_o we_o make_v too_o much_o lamentation_n for_o he_o which_o be_v wrong_a to_o jesus_n christ_n as_o if_o his_o child_n be_v with_o he_o in_o misery_n it_o be_v also_o a_o wrong_n to_o the_o decease_a for_o if_o we_o shall_v but_o taste_v a_o few_o drop_n and_o behold_v but_o the_o sparkle_n of_o the_o glory_n and_o contentment_n which_o they_o receive_v with_o god_n we_o will_v say_v our_o tear_n be_v injurious_a and_o wherefore_o shall_v we_o envy_v their_o repose_n doubtless_o if_o our_o tear_n can_v bring_v he_o again_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v it_o for_o they_o will_v say_v wherefore_o have_v thou_o trouble_v our_o rest_n and_o bring_v our_o soul_n again_o into_o this_o filthiness_n and_o put_v we_o again_o into_o the_o combat_n after_o the_o victory_n they_o have_v rather_o that_o we_o will_v prepare_v ourselves_o to_o go_v to_o they_o and_o that_o we_o will_v think_v they_o be_v not_o lose_v but_o go_v before_o we_o and_o let_v our_o chief_a work_n be_v to_o prepare_v ourselves_o to_o die_v instead_o of_o mourning_n for_o they_o and_o turn_v our_o mourning_n with_o a_o holy_a fear_n into_o a_o holy_a care_n and_o deep_a contemplation_n and_o indeed_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n so_o soon_o take_v from_o we_o those_o we_o so_o much_o affect_v be_v that_o he_o will_v have_v a_o pledge_n of_o we_o in_o take_v the_o one_o half_a of_o ourselves_o unto_o he_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v so_o dispose_v of_o ourselves_o that_o he_o may_v also_o have_v the_o rest_n and_o that_o all_o our_o desire_n may_v run_v that_o way_n in_o so_o much_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o house_n nor_o in_o the_o chamber_n

of_o our_o soul_n ever_o think_v to_o go_v the_o same_o way_n and_o to_o follow_v that_o currant_n these_o thought_n ought_v to_o change_v our_o sorrow_n and_o desire_n and_o turn_v our_o mind_n

even_o so_o to_o die_v quiet_o and_o peaceable_o we_o must_v put_v off_o all_o care_n and_o earthly_a thought_n and_o have_v dispose_v of_o our_o house_n as_o god_n say_v to_o ezechias_n for_o the_o
