true_o i_o be_o thy_o servant_n i_o be_o thy_o servant_n thus_o do_v david_n and_o thus_o ought_v we_o but_o do_v we_o thus_o we_o all_o profess_v ourselves_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n and_o what_o

our_o church_n teach_v we_o to_o confess_v the_o device_n and_o desire_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n 3._o and_o like_o those_o of_o who_o saint_n peter_n speak_v that_o wrought_v the_o will_n of_o the_o

therefore_o let_v we_o sit_v down_o and_o consider_v with_o ourselves_o 1._o what_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v which_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o serve_v and_o according_a to_o saint_n paul_n

2._o benignissimus_fw-la in_o adjuvando_fw-la most_o gracious_a in_o assist_v who_o as_o in_o justice_n he_o may_v command_v what_o he_o will_v so_o in_o mercy_n will_v enable_v we_o if_o we_o seek_v

that_o nothing_o be_v more_o reasonable_a than_o after_o david_n pattern_n in_o our_o generation_n to_o serve_v the_o will_n of_o god_n from_o the_o character_n of_o his_o life_n 2._o proceed_v we_o more_o brief_o to_o the_o threefold_a character_n of_o his_o death_n by_o which_o be_v describe_v the_o state_n of_o the_o dead_a 1._o he_o fall_v asleep_a that_o respect_v the_o person_n 2._o be_v

precede_v the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v by_o some_o intepreter_n refer_v to_o this_o clause_n he_o fall_v asleep_o in_o which_o construction_n they_o afford_v we_o a_o good_a instruction_n namely_o that_o death_n befall_v we_o not_o by_o chance_n cor._n but_o by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n it_o be_v appoint_v say_v the_o apostle_n for_o man_n once_o to_o die_v and_o not_o only_o the_o thing_n

29._o we_o can_v neither_o stay_v long_o nor_o go_v soon_o than_o god_n please_v a_o consideration_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o contentation_n both_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o

let_v this_o go_v i_o may_v further_o observe_v that_o it_o be_v say_v of_o david_n he_o fall_v asleep_a after_o he_o have_v serve_v the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o his_o generation_n or_o serve_v his_o

it_o be_v say_v of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n that_o though_o the_o jew_n seek_v to_o take_v he_o 4._o yet_o no_o man_n lay_v hand_n on_o he_o for_o his_o hour_n be_v not_o come_v yea_o he_o say_v of_o

of_o his_o departure_n 7._o when_o he_o have_v finish_v his_o course_n it_o be_v that_o which_o may_v very_o much_o comfort_v we_o whensoever_o death_n seem_v to_o or_o real_o do_v approach_v that_o as_o we_o die_v not_o before_o the_o time_n which_o god_n have_v allot_v we_o to_o live_v so_o neither_o before_o the_o service_n be_v do_v which_o he_o have_v appoint_v for_o we_o in_o our_o

but_o that_o which_o i_o here_o especial_o take_v notice_n of_o be_v that_o death_n be_v resemble_v to_o a_o sleep_n it_o be_v observable_a among_o profane_a writer_n both_o greek_a and_o latin_a
