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

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

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

in_o hope_n after_o they_o have_v refresh_v themselves_o with_o sleep_n to_o put_v they_o on_o again_o so_o when_o the_o soul_n lay_v aside_o her_o body_n it_o be_v in_o hope_n of_o rise_v again_o of_o a_o reunion_n of_o the_o soul_n with_o the_o same_o body_n which_o a_o man_n do_v lay_v aside_o so_o to_o put_v off_o the_o body_n as_o one_o that_o shall_v put_v it_o on_o again_o in_o a_o
