not_o lose_v the_o morning_n which_o certain_o be_v the_o best_a time_n for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o i_o will_v have_v you_o as_o soon_o as_o you_o wake_v fix_v your_o thought_n upon_o that_o god_n that_o give_v you_o time_n to_o think_v and_o do_v as_o holy_a david_n do_v who_o say_v as_o soon_o as_o i_o awake_v i_o be_o with_o thou_o consider_v how_o your_o bed_n may_v have_v be_v your_o grave_n for_o many_o every_o night_n go_v down_o into_o the_o place_n of_o silence_n and_o there_o take_v their_o long_a and_o last_o sleep_n consider_v also_o what_o a_o mercy_n sleep_n be_v and_o if_o we_o miss_v but_o a_o night_n rest_n how_o burdensome_a and_o uneasy_a a_o man_n will_v be_v to_o himself_o therefore_o begin_v the_o morning_n with_o blessing_n god_n for_o it_o and_o
