may_v obtain_v 1._o cor._n 9_o as_o there_o be_v a_o heaven_n so_o there_o be_v a_o way_n to_o heaven_n one_o way_n adam_n come_v from_o paradise_n and_o by_o a_o neither_o weigh_v he_o must_v

let_v we_o see_v how_o he_o go_v to_o heaven_n he_o begin_v betimes_o for_o at_o twelve_o year_n of_o age_n he_o say_v i_o must_v go_v about_o my_o father_n business_n he_o make_v speed_n for_o john_n say_v 21.25_o that_o he_o speak_v and_o do_v more_o good_a thing_n in_o three_o and_o thirty_o year_n then_o can_v be_v write_v solomon_n show_v when_o it_o best_a time_n to_o sow_v the_o seed_n of_o virtue_n that_o it_o may_v bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o life_n and_o make_v a_o man_n always_o ready_a to_o die_v let_v he_o remember_v his_o creator_n in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o youth_n and_o so_o all_o his_o life_n shall_v run_v the_o middle_a like_o the_o beginning_n and_o the_o end_n like_o the_o middle_n for_o if_o the_o mind_n be_v plant_v in_o sin_n in_o the_o time_n of_o youth_n seldom_o any_o goodness_n bud_v out_o of_o that_o stock_n for_o virtue_n must_v have_v a_o time_n to_o grow_v the_o seed_n be_v sow_v in_o youth_n which_o come_v up_o in_o age_n as_o the_o arrow_n be_v direct_v at_o the_o first_o so_o it_o fly_v all_o the_o way_n over_o or_o under_o but_o it_o never_o find_v the_o mark_n unless_o it_o be_v level_v right_o in_o the_o hand_n so_o they_o which_o make_v a_o evil_a beginning_n forspeake_v themselves_o at_o the_o first_o and_o wander_v out_o all_o their_o race_n because_o when_o they_o shall_v have_v direct_v their_o life_n aright_o they_o wander_v clean_o contrary_a way_n therefore_o god_n require_v the_o first_o bear_v for_o his_o offering_n &_o the_o first_o fruit_n of_o his_o service_n require_v the_o first_o labour_n of_o his_o servant_n because_o the_o best_a season_n to_o seek_v god_n in_o be_v to_o seek_v he_o early_o therefore_o wisdom_n say_v they_o which_o seek_v i_o early_o shall_v find_v but_o to_o they_o which_o defer_v she_o say_v you_o shall_v seek_v i_o but_o you_o shall_v not_o find_v i_o therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n cry_v so_o often_o this_o be_v the_o acceptable_a time_n this_o be_v the_o day_n of_o

be_v past_a no_o time_n will_v fit_v for_o it_o therefore_o linger_v not_o with_o lot_n for_o if_o the_o angel_n have_v not_o snatch_v he_o away_o he_o have_v perish_v with_o sodom_n for_o his_o delay_n samuel_n begin_v to_o serve_v god_n in_o his_o minority_n and_o be_v make_v a_o prophet_n timothy_n begin_v to_o read_v the_o scripture_n in_o his_o childhood_n and_o be_v a_o evangelist_n
