of_o outer_a darkness_n beside_o it_o be_v the_o sate_a of_o many_o the_o near_o they_o approach_v to_o death_n that_o the_o less_o apt_a they_o be_v to_o believe_v it_o and_o so_o perish_v in_o

therefore_o probable_a that_o their_o last_o sickness_n will_v be_v very_o uncomfortable_a though_o their_o repentance_n shall_v prove_v sincere_a and_o their_o soul_n save_v in_o the_o day_n of_o

shall_v now_o tell_v they_o that_o their_o repentance_n do_v come_v too_o late_o to_o meet_v with_o that_o mercy_n they_o so_o long_o abuse_v and_o that_o it_o be_v all_o owe_a to_o their_o fear_n of_o death_n and_o the_o apprehend_o dreadful_a consequence_n of_o die_a if_o he_o shall_v tell_v they_o that_o the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n be_v lose_v and_o so_o the_o bait_n to_o entice_v they_o go_v every_o thing_n about_o they_o look_v sad_a and_o mournful_a and_o such_o a_o change_n of_o their_o condition_n from_o health_n to_o sickness_n and_o the_o gate_n of_o death_n must_v needs_o
