christian_a reader_n if_o any_o man_n will_v know_v the_o patron_n of_o this_o discourse_n let_v he_o understand_v that_o it_o belong_v to_o every_o body_n for_o there_o be_v not_o a_o man_n under_o heaven_n be_v he_o king_n or_o subject_a noble_a or_o ignoble_a barbarian_a scythian_a bond_n or_o free_n but_o live_v unavoidable_o under_o the_o law_n of_o death_n and_o within_o the_o pale_a of_o

commend_v these_o short_a meditation_n of_o a_o long_a eternity_n for_o the_o favour_n of_o protection_n as_o in_o right_n they_o appertain_v to_o every_o body_n but_o will_v every_o one_o countenance_v they_o with_o a_o friendly_a welcome_n certain_o such_o entertainment_n may_v rather_o be_v wish_v then_o hope_v for_o this_o eternity_n whereof_o i_o treat_v find_v for_o the_o most_o

into_o it_o and_o his_o tongue_n to_o discourse_v of_o it_o and_o his_o will_n to_o affect_v it_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o flash_n of_o eternity_n and_o transient_a thought_n thereof_o do_v often_o swim_v in_o the_o brain_n and_o straggle_v about_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o sensual_a worldling_n but_o there_o they_o lodge_v not_o they_o take_v not_o up_o their_o rest_n the_o covetous_a man_n soon_o

his_o way_n strive_v to_o keep_v that_o from_o his_o heart_n here_o which_o he_o can_v possible_o deliver_v his_o soul_n from_o hereafter_o his_o endless_a eternity_n thus_o be_v we_o unhappy_o
