part_n of_o our_o life_n away_o and_o every_o day_n we_o live_v we_o live_v a_o day_n less_o it_o be_v go_v and_o pass_v and_o never_o return_v again_o as_o water_n which_o it_o be_v go_v and_o whether_o we_o walk_v or_o do_v any_o thing_n the_o time_n pass_v while_o you_o hear_v and_o while_o i_o speak_v the_o time_n pass_v and_o never_o return_v again_o so_o the_o fashion_n of_o this_o world_n pass_v away_o all_o thing_n be_v pass_v here_o what_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o this_o that_o all_o thing_n be_v thus_o pass_v good_n that_o be_v not_o stable_n we_o say_v they_o be_v moveable_n and_o indeed_o those_o thing_n that_o we_o call_v immovables_n be_v moveable_n all_o pass_v away_o heaven_n and_o earth_n will_v pass_v away_o ere_o long_o and_o there_o will_v be_v a_o new_a heaven_n and_o a_o new_a earth_n kingdom_n pass_v away_o and_o king_n pass_v away_o and_o state_n pass_v away_o what_o be_v become_v of_o rome_n what_o be_v become_v of_o jerusalem_n what_o be_v become_v of_o babylon_n and_o all_o those_o goodly_a city_n all_o be_v pass_v away_o they_o be_v all_o go_v this_o experience_n speak_v as_o well_o as_o divinity_n now_o the_o ground_n of_o all_o this_o be_v nothing_o not_o only_o the_o nature_n of_o thing_n take_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v make_v of_o nothing_o and_o therefore_o subject_a to_o fall_v to_o their_o first_o principle_n again_o that_o be_v the_o fundamental_a reason_n why_o thing_n may_v be_v mooveable_a and_o pass_v away_o but_o that_o they_o be_v so_o it_o be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a reason_n for_o god_n may_v have_v suspend_v the_o mutability_n of_o thing_n if_o he_o will_v as_o the_o heavenly_a angel_n be_v mutable_a because_o they_o be_v create_v but_o god_n have_v suspend_v there_o mutability_n world_n without_o end_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a that_o all_o thing_n be_v of_o nothing_o it_o show_v that_o of_o themselves_o they_o may_v turn_v to_o nothing_o indeed_o but_o there_o be_v another_o reason_n behind_o accurse_v that_o now_o since_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n there_o be_v a_o curse_n upon_o all_o thing_n there_o be_v a_o sentence_n of_o mutability_n and_o change_n and_o a_o sentence_n of_o pass_v be_v pass_v upon_o all_o this_o that_o all_o thing_n that_o have_v a_o beginning_n shall_v have_v a_o end_n and_o that_o this_o world_n shall_v be_v a_o stage_n of_o change_n and_o alteration_n there_o be_v a_o sentence_n of_o vanity_n upon_o the_o creature_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v divine_o the_o creature_n be_v subject_a to_o vanity_n 8._o not_o of_o his_o own_o will_n but_o because_o god_n have_v subdue_v it_o to_o vanity_n rom._n 8._o man_n commit_v treason_n and_o therefore_o the_o creature_n which_o be_v man_n servant_n all_o mourn_n for_o their_o master_n fall_n they_o all_o mourn_v in_o black_a as_o it_o be_v all_o the_o creature_n be_v subject_a to_o vanity_n all_o the_o creature_n under_o the_o sun_n be_v subject_a to_o mutability_n and_o change_n but_o we_o may_v thank_v ourselves_o we_o be_v the_o grand-traitor_n that_o bring_v this_o misery_n upon_o the_o creature_n that_o be_v the_o true_a reason_n why_o all_o thing_n pass_v away_o and_o so_o why_o ourselves_o have_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n upon_o we_o we_o pass_v away_o and_o the_o thing_n pass_v away_o and_o we_o in_o the_o use_n of_o they_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o ground_n of_o this_o why_o thing_n pass_v away_o in_o the_o sentence_n of_o mutability_n and_o vanity_n that_o god_n have_v pass_v upon_o they_o if_o this_o be_v so_o they_o belove_v let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o pass_v much_o for_o thing_n that_o will_v pass_v away_o not_o to_o pass_v for_o they_o learn_v all_o the_o former_a direction_n the_o fashion_n of_o this_o world_n pass_v away_o shall_v we_o grieve_v much_o for_o the_o loss_n of_o that_o that_o we_o can_v hold_v we_o say_v if_o a_o glass_n be_v break_v be_v a_o man_n much_o angry_a a_o

i_o be_v move_v at_o that_o that_o god_n have_v set_v down_o a_o law_n for_o that_o one_o generation_n shall_v go_v and_o another_o shall_v follow_v after_o and_o there_o be_v a_o succession_n as_o

it_o shall_v be_v a_o use_n of_o comfort_n and_o contentment_n with_o any_o thing_n in_o this_o world_n little_a place_n or_o riches_n or_o honour_n i_o must_v leave_v they_o i_o know_v not_o how_o

that_o which_o the_o word_n do_v not_o promise_v we_o or_o that_o we_o can_v see_v experience_n of_o in_o the_o world_n why_o will_v we_o have_v a_o condition_n sever_v from_o all_o man_n the_o see_v of_o thing_n in_o a_o condition_n of_o fade_a as_o it_o shall_v teach_v we_o contentment_n in_o the_o use_n of_o all_o thing_n so_o it_o shall_v teach_v we_o moderation_n and_o wisdom_n that_o we_o

look_v to_o somewhat_o that_o may_v stand_v by_o we_o when_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v go_v will_v all_o these_o thing_n leave_v i_o and_o must_v i_o leave_v they_o how_o be_v it_o with_o i_o for_o

we_o must_v not_o pretend_v this_o and_o that_o to_o wrong_v christ_n and_o religion_n which_o be_v the_o main_a bond_n we_o must_v so_o labour_v to_o please_v other_o that_o we_o displease_v not_o our_o chief_a husband_n for_o the_o time_n will_v be_v when_o we_o shall_v neither_o marry_v nor_o give_v in_o marriage_n but_o we_o shall_v be_v as_o the_o angel_n and_o that_o time_n shall_v be_v without_o bound_n and_o limit_n for_o eternity_n and_o we_o must_v look_v to_o that_o and_o therefore_o those_o that_o marry_v let_v they_o be_v as_o if_o they_o be_v not_o marry_v you_o know_v how_o it_o fare_v with_o he_o in_o the_o gospel_n that_o pretend_v this_o for_o his_o not_o come_v to_o christ_n he_o that_o be_v marry_v say_v i_o can_v come_v he_o can_v not_o his_o excuse_n be_v more_o

when_o we_o do_v grieve_v as_o we_o be_v to_o overjoy_v when_o we_o do_v joy_n for_o our_o nature_n can_v hardly_o keep_v bound_n and_o god_n take_v it_o unkind_o when_o we_o do_v so_o when_o we_o
