opportunity_n and_o that_o we_o have_v no_o opportunity_n of_o do_v it_o beyond_o this_o life_n why_o be_v not_o do_v good_a the_o consequence_n of_o these_o two_o premise_n how_o come_v it_o that_o man_n know_v the_o necessity_n of_o do_v it_o and_o the_o benefit_n of_o it_o when_o do_v and_o the_o time_n allot_v they_o to_o do_v it_o in_o and_o yet_o there_o be_v so_o little_o do_v the_o reason_n i_o think_v be_v this_o that_o man_n promise_v to_o themselves_o still_o better_a opportunity_n than_o the_o present_a time_n they_o think_v afford_v they_o they_o put_v the_o execution_n of_o their_o good_a purpose_n off_o from_o day_n to_o day_n and_o imagine_v that_o a_o more_o convenient_a season_n will_v present_v itself_o that_o to_o morrow_n and_o the_o next_o day_n may_v produce_v some_o new_a matter_n and_o change_v the_o circumstance_n of_o thing_n to_o their_o advantage_n and_o waver_v about_o in_o these_o uncertainty_n till_o life_n itself_o the_o great_a opportunity_n be_v unexpected_o cut_v off_o and_o all_o their_o thought_n perish_v whereas_o if_o they_o be_v as_o wise_a in_o this_o as_o in_o other_o matter_n they_o will_v rather_o argue_v thus_o i_o find_v i_o be_o oblige_v by_o nature_n reason_n and_o religion_n and_o god_n be_v thank_v by_o my_o own_o inclination_n to_o do_v all_o the_o good_a i_o can_v and_o i_o know_v assure_o withal_o that_o the_o good_a to_o be_v do_v by_o i_o be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o this_o life_n while_o it_o please_v god_n to_o continue_v i_o in_o this_o world_n and_o because_o i_o can_v possible_o tell_v how_o long_o i_o have_v to_o live_v and_o what_o be_v like_a to_o be_v the_o number_n of_o my_o day_n and_o that_o every_o day_n produce_v some_o strange_a instance_n of_o the_o uncertainty_n of_o life_n and_o the_o suddenness_n of_o death_n therefore_o i_o must_v put_v my_o design_n of_o do_v good_a in_o execution_n present_o for_o fear_v i_o shall_v be_v prevent_v my_o desire_n and_o resolution_n may_v prove_v abortive_a if_o i_o defer_v they_o any_o long_o therefore_o my_o purpose_n shall_v be_v as_o soon_o as_o possible_o they_o can_v performance_n can_v any_o premise_n be_v plain_a can_v any_o consequence_n be_v just_a and_o more_o reasonable_a than_o this_o i_o must_v do_v good_a whilst_o i_o have_v opportunity_n but_o i_o can_v tell_v how_o long_o this_o opportunity_n may_v last_v or_o when_o it_o will_v end_v i_o be_o only_o sure_a of_o the_o present_a time_n that_o which_o i_o have_v in_o possession_n be_v only_o i_o therefore_o if_o i_o will_v secure_v myself_o i_o must_v do_v all_o the_o good_a i_o can_v immediate_o and_o whilst_o the_o time_n be_v in_o my_o hand_n the_o time_n to_o come_v be_v none_o of_o i_o i_o be_o not_o master_n of_o the_o ensue_a year_n nor_o can_v command_v the_o month_n that_o be_v enter_v if_o i_o bid_v the_o morning_n hasten_v or_o the_o evening_n slacken_v its_o pace_n because_o that_o i_o intend_v to_o do_v some_o good_a they_o neither_o hear_v nor_o mind_n i_o but_o proceed_v according_a to_o appointment_n and_o each_o of_o they_o may_v find_v i_o cold_a and_o senseless_a and_o incapable_a of_o either_o do_v or_o receive_v any_o far_a good_a in_o this_o world_n and_o therefore_o when_o st._n paul_n advise_v to_o do_v good_a whilst_o we_o have_v opportunity_n he_o advise_v we_o to_o do_v it_o as_o soon_o as_o possible_o we_o can_v and_o that_o we_o lose_v no_o opportunity_n by_o delay_n it_o may_v otherwise_o happen_v to_o we_o as_o it_o do_v to_o the_o poor_a man_n that_o promise_v himself_o such_o ease_n and_o

those_o thing_n be_v which_o thou_o have_v provide_v we_o frame_v a_o great_a many_o fine_a project_n in_o our_o head_n contrive_v abundance_n of_o good_a design_n and_o intend_v to_o do_v the_o lord_n know_v how_o much_o charity_n but_o the_o sentence_n pass_v out_o from_o god_n upon_o we_o and_o cut_v we_o off_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o our_o purpose_n and_o what_o be_v then_o become_v of_o all_o our_o good_a intention_n we_o be_v go_v to_o a_o place_n where_o great_a account_n will_v be_v have_v of_o all_o the_o good_a we_o actual_o have_v do_v and_o will_v have_v do_v if_o we_o have_v have_v but_o opportunity_n but_o little_a or_o none_o at_o all_o will_v be_v have_v of_o that_o which_o vanish_v in_o design_n and_o go_v no_o far_o than_o the_o brain_n but_o that_o may_v not_o be_v the_o worst_a in_o some_o case_n where_o we_o shall_v give_v account_n for_o all_o the_o ability_n and_o opportunity_n we_o have_v of_o do_v good_a but_o over-slipt_a or_o quite_o neglect_v but_o second_o there_o be_v a_o opportunity_n of_o the_o will_n as_o well_o as_o time_n which_o must_v be_v take_v hold_v of_o for_o though_o the_o opportunity_n of_o time_n may_v be_v continue_v to_o a_o man_n yet_o the_o will_n and_o inclination_n may_v be_v change_v the_o will_n we_o know_v be_v very_o uncertain_a and_o tack_n about_o with_o every_o new_a variety_n of_o accident_n the_o
