it_o be_v for_o good_a use_n as_o well_o to_o remember_v and_o consider_v it_o as_o to_o understand_v it_o but_o now_o i_o go_v on_o to_o tell_v you_o what_o the_o scripture_n teach_v concern_v

it_o do_v not_o make_v he_o cease_v to_o be_v but_o take_v asunder_o awhile_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n it_o carry_v the_o one_o to_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o other_o to_o another_o world_n so_o that_o both_o continue_v to_o be_v though_o they_o be_v not_o unite_v as_o before_o the_o word_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o that_o he_o have_v create_v the_o world_n as_o it_o be_v a_o house_n of_o

there_o be_v no_o respect_n to_o god_n no_o pity_n of_o other_o no_o not_o of_o themselves_o i_o do_v not_o wonder_v that_o man_n heretofore_o consider_v not_o when_o they_o love_v their_o life_n

now_o god_n that_o have_v make_v a_o law_n to_o bind_v and_o to_o order_v man_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o speech_n certain_o he_o will_v judge_v man_n by_o that_o law_n you_o know_v that_o king_n and_o

because_o god_n and_o man_n be_v injure_v by_o word_n as_o well_o as_o by_o action_n first_o concern_v god_n you_o read_v of_o some_o psal_n 73._o that_o set_v their_o mouth_n against_o god_n and_o

that_o that_o not_o only_o declare_v its_o own_o excellency_n but_o the_o unrighteousness_n and_o obliquity_n of_o the_o contrary_a therefore_o christ_n shall_v proceed_v by_o the_o law_n because_o

the_o first_o table_n of_o the_o law_n and_o to_o do_v justice_n that_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o second_o table_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o say_v he_o he_o have_v show_v thou_o what_o be_v

teach_v to_o believe_v under_o pain_n of_o anathema_n and_o the_o great_a curse_n that_o whosoever_o die_v if_o he_o have_v not_o in_o this_o life_n attain_v to_o perfection_n and_o thorough_o purge_v

now_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v how_o can_v a_o man_n die_v comfortable_o and_o in_o peace_n and_o with_o a_o joyful_a heart_n when_o he_o think_v with_o himself_o that_o albeit_o perhaps_o after_o some_o year_n he_o shall_v go_v to_o heaven_n yet_o in_o the_o mean_a space_n his_o soul_n must_v go_v into_o such_o a_o place_n of_o unspeakable_a torment_n where_o if_o the_o matter_n be_v not_o well_o ply_v by_o the_o prayer_n of_o they_o that_o be_v alive_a and_o by_o well_o see_v the_o priest_n they_o may_v hap_v to_o lie_v for_o many_o year_n i_o say_v how_o can_v the_o doctrine_n of_o popery_n beget_v a_o peaceful_a death_n when_o it_o teach_v a_o expectation_n of_o such_o a_o hellish_a purgatory_n second_o every_o papist_n as_o he_o be_v bind_v of_o a_o certain_a to_o believe_v a_o purgatory_n so_o further_o must_v he_o believe_v that_o he_o can_v in_o this_o life_n be_v assure_v of_o salvation_n otherwise_o then_o by_o a_o kind_n of_o confuse_a hope_n which_o may_v
