be_v say_v as_o we_o in_o the_o first_o part_n have_v show_v that_o the_o death_n of_o the_o body_n be_v not_o hurtful_a to_o man_n and_o in_o that_o respect_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v fearful_a so_o we_o suppose_v that_o in_o this_o second_o part_n we_o have_v declare_v by_o what_o mean_v we_o may_v make_v the_o same_o to_o be_v very_o profitable_a unto_o we_o and_o have_v show_v in_o the_o first_o place_n how_o that_o we_o must_v settle_v our_o house_n by_o a_o decent_a order_n of_o our_o good_n that_o we_o ought_v to_o inure_v our_o body_n to_o a_o patient_a suffering_n of_o pain_n and_o that_o we_o must_v prepare_v our_o soul_n by_o a_o timely_a preparation_n to_o meet_v death_n courageous_o after_o that_o we_o have_v teach_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o disarm_v it_o and_o so_o to_o strengthen_v ourselves_o through_o christian_a faith_n that_o its_o sting_n may_v not_o prick_v our_o soul_n and_o bring_v it_o to_o the_o second_o death_n and_o withal_o we_o have_v endeavour_v to_o establish_v the_o waver_a soul_n in_o this_o faith_n and_o to_o relieve_v the_o trouble_a conscience_n with_o comfortable_a speech_n and_o example_n that_o may_v instruct_v they_o and_o last_o we_o have_v make_v it_o apparent_a that_o death_n open_v a_o door_n for_o our_o soul_n to_o a_o life_n true_o happy_a which_o she_o shall_v receive_v with_o all_o advantage_n honour_n and_o perfect_a
