A96863	The saints entrance into peace and rest by death: as it was held forth in a sermon / preached at the funerall of that honourable statesman, and ever to be valued father and lover of his country, Sir William Armyne baronet one of the members of the high court of Parliament: in the day when hee was buryed with his fathers, being honourably but mournfully attended from London where he dyed, to Lenton in Lincolnshire, where he was interred, in the ancient sepulchre of his ancestors, May 10. 1651.

death_n and_o call_v it_o but_o sleep_n thomas_n be_v content_a to_o die_v also_o it_o be_v easy_o apply_v to_o our_o purpose_n that_o saint_n shall_v no_o more_o fear_n to_o die_v then_o rest_n in_o
