that_o both_o the_o sea_n and_o death_n and_o hell_n deliver_v up_o their_o dead_a but_o the_o time_n will_v fail_v i_o if_o i_o shall_v go_v about_o to_o rehearse_v all_o the_o place_n of_o the_o

unto_o every_o one_o the_o which_o be_v his_o own_o &_o with_o condign_a reward_n to_o recompense_v virtue_n &_o on_o the_o outstretch_o side_z vice_n with_o due_o deserve_a punishment_n howbeit_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o in_o this_o present_a life_n there_o be_v recompense_v either_o none_o at_o all_o or_o else_o very_o slender_a for_o that_o the_o godly_a oftentimes_o mourn_v under_o the_o

justice_n of_o god_n neither_o can_v we_o restrain_v it_o to_o the_o soul_n alone_o for_o see_v that_o the_o body_n be_v not_o the_o lest_o part_n both_o in_o thing_n well_o do_v &_o in_o thing_n do_v amiss_o see_v also_o that_o the_o godly_a be_v afflict_v in_o body_n &_o again_o in_o body_n the_o ungodly_a become_v sensual_a and_o cruel_a therefore_o must_v both_o reward_n and_o punishment_n be_v
