never_o think_v of_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n and_o thereby_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o so_o many_o lewd_a so_o many_o false_a so_o many_o stubborn_a so_o much_o falsehood_n so_o much_o sin_n &_o filthiness_n bear_v such_o a_o great_a swinge_n that_o at_o the_o length_n almighty_a god_n will_v be_v so_o angry_a that_o within_o a_o while_n there_o will_v be_v no_o way_n to_o escape_v no_o

on_o the_o behalf_n of_o weakling_n and_o of_o such_o as_o be_v frail_a in_o their_o live_n and_o conversation_n i_o think_v good_a to_o advise_v and_o warn_v they_o that_o they_o do_v not_o make_v

perish_v everlasting_o from_o which_o our_o lord_n gracious_o vouchsafe_v to_o keep_v we_o amen_o again_o that_o such_o weakling_n in_o their_o conversation_n receive_v the_o time_n of_o grace_n in_o

and_o enjoy_v everlasting_a life_n namely_o to_o hear_v god_n word_n as_o christ_n say_v and_o believe_v the_o same_o it_o require_v no_o great_a cunning_n wisdom_n strength_n might_n liveland_n and_o

victory_n that_o a_o poor_a wretched_a weak_a and_o sick_a man_n that_o by_o reason_n of_o weakness_n can_v scant_o move_v hand_n nor_o foot_n can_v overcome_v so_o great_a a_o giant_n as_o death_n only_o with_o a_o christian-like_a hear_n and_o a_o believe_a heart_n but_o thus_o can_v christ_n avenge_v himself_o upon_o such_o a_o strong_a enemy_n death_n that_o will_v glad_o have_v eat_v and_o swallow_a up_o christ_n that_o he_o have_v so_o wonderful_o take_v away_o the_o strength_n from_o death_n that_o a_o poor_a wretched_a man_n may_v overcome_v death_n &_o beside_o that_o may_v mock_v and_o laugh_v he_o to_o scorn_n that_o be_v i_o think_v death_n right_o to_o despise_v and_o contemn_v but_o how_o come_v that_o to_o pass_v that_o we_o overrun_v and_o weary_v by_o death_n shall_v nevertheless_o abide_v still_o alive_a that_o be_v as_o christ_n himself_o say_v john_n 11._o 11._o where_o he_o say_v thus_o i_o be_o the_o resurrection_n and_o the_o life_n who_o so_o ever_o believe_v on_o i_o shall_v live_v although_o he_o seem_v to_o die_v and_o whosoever_o live_v and_o believe_v on_o i_o shall_v nevermore_o die_v this_o be_v the_o right_a and_o only_a cause_n that_o the_o faithful_a yea_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o death_n embrace_v the_o right_a life_n christ_n our_o lord_n that_o give_v again_o unto_o they_o life_n for_o as_o little_a now_o can_v death_n any_o more_o weary_a or_o overcome_v our_o lord_n or_o hold_v he_o in_o death_n so_o little_o can_v he_o either_o punish_v or_o quarrel_v with_o any_o faithful_a man_n for_o see_v that_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o life_n do_v still_o live_v and_o can_v nevermore_o be_v overcome_v so_o may_v the_o faithful_a never_o abide_v prisoner_n in_o death_n but_o he_o break_v out_o valiant_o with_o christ_n
