the_o thought_n of_o death_n judgement_n heaven_n and_o hell_n be_v good_a and_o wholesome_a godly_a and_o holy_a but_o none_o more_o than_o the_o thought_n of_o eternity_n which_o may_v worthy_o be_v

do_v the_o rest_n be_v to_o little_a purpose_n without_o this_o even_o the_o read_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v fruitless_a the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n preach_v be_v unprofitable_a many_o
