body_n cease_v not_o to_o be_v a_o body_n when_o the_o clothes_n be_v put_v off_o that_o the_o body_n may_v take_v its_o rest_n in_o a_o warm_a bed_n so_o it_o be_v not_o the_o body_n that_o make_v a_o man_n animus_fw-la cujusque_fw-la cuique_fw-la it_o be_v the_o mind_n or_o soul_n of_o man_n that_o be_v the_o man._n when_o the_o body_n be_v lay_v aside_o in_o the_o grave_a a_o man_n do_v not_o

2._o consider_v that_o as_o a_o man_n unclothe_v himself_o before_o he_o go_v to_o take_v his_o rest_n in_o his_o bed_n so_o death_n to_o a_o godly_a man_n be_v but_o a_o unclothing_n of_o he_o for_o sleep_n and_o rest_n and_o here_o meditate_v on_o the_o resemblance_n between_o death_n and_o the_o unclothing_n of_o ourselves_o for_o sleep_n and_o rest_n 1._o before_o a_o man_n lay_v off_o his_o

i_o desire_v say_v he_o to_o be_v dissolve_v nisi_fw-la se_fw-la vinctum_fw-la putaverat_fw-la non_fw-la optaverat_fw-la dissolvi_fw-la if_o he_o have_v not_o think_v his_o soul_n bind_v and_o gird_v to_o his_o body_n he_o will_v not_o have_v desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v every_o ache_n pain_n and_o sickness_n that_o god_n lay_v upon_o the_o body_n be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v a_o forewarn_n to_o

2._o a_o man_n can_v take_v such_o sweet_a refreshment_n in_o his_o clothes_n as_o when_o he_o be_v unclothe_v so_o a_o godly_a man_n can_v never_o rest_v from_o his_o labour_n whilst_o he_o be_v in_o the_o body_n but_o he_o will_v be_v always_o burden_v weary_a and_o groan_v in_o this_o earthly_a tabernacle_n he_o be_v bear_v to_o labour_n as_o the_o spark_n fly_v upward_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o rest_v from_o sin_n from_o temptation_n from_o trouble_n from_o labour_n without_o and_o from_o fear_n within_o till_o a_o christian_a lay_n aside_o his_o body_n the_o garment_n of_o the_o soul_n death_n make_v he_o to_o rest_v from_o all_o his_o labour_n while_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o the_o body_n it_o be_v absent_a from_o the_o lord_n the_o proper_a rest_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o saint_n everlasting_a habitation_n but_o death_n carry_v lazarus_n into_o abraham_n bosom_n 3._o when_o a_o man_n put_v off_o all_o his_o clothes_n to_o go_v to_o his_o bed_n he_o lie_v not_o down_o naked_a and_o uncovered_a but_o take_v a_o cover_v upon_o he_o thus_o when_o the_o soul_n leave_v the_o body_n it_o lay_v aside_o his_o clothes_n yet_o lie_v not_o he_o without_o a_o cover_v man_n bed_n be_v

his_o soul_n be_v lay_v up_o till_o the_o morning_n of_o the_o resurrection_n but_o a_o wicked_a man_n may_v think_v on_o it_o as_o a_o dark_a prison_n reserve_v his_o body_n as_o his_o soul_n be_v
