fur_n nay_o they_o be_v not_o loath_a to_o take_v the_o excrement_n of_o the_o poor_a worm_n which_o they_o into_o brave_a silk_n and_o satin_n turn_v then_o do_v they_o beg_v of_o fish_n pearl_n for_o the_o neck_n and_o find_v in_o sea-sand_n precious_a stone_n to_o deck_v their_o sinful_a body_n than_o they_o take_v great_a pain_n to_o digg_n and_o delve_v in_o earth_n for_o golden_a gain_n and_o when_o they_o have_v this_o borrow_a treasure_n get_v about_o the_o street_n they_o jet_v and_o frisk_v and_o trot_v provoke_v other_o thus_o to_o look_v on_o they_o deem_v themselves_o better_a than_o other_o man_n but_o great_a folly_n than_o this_o be_v not_o know_v for_o one_o to_o boast_v of_o that_o be_v not_o his_o own_o yet_o thus_o have_v i_o too_o oft_o do_v and_o be_v glad_a when_o i_o brave_a clothes_n upon_o my_o body_n have_v therefore_o i_o will_v now_o put_v off_o this_o pedlar_n pack_n which_o all_o this_o day_n have_v burden_v thus_o my_o back_n can_v i_o as_o quick_o put_v off_o my_o foul_a sin_n and_o in_o new_a robe_n of_o grace_n my_o soul_n put_v in_o as_o i_o can_v cast_v these_o filthy_a rag_n aside_o that_o from_o man_n eye_n my_o sinful_a shame_n do_v hide_v then_o shall_v i_o be_v receive_v a_o welcome_a guest_n of_o christ_n my_o saviour_n to_o his_o glorious_a feast_n where_o angel_n patriarch_n and_o prophet_n old_a apostle_n martyr_n and_o the_o saint_n do_v hold_v a_o feast_n of_o joy_n thus_o shall_v i_o then_o be_v blessed_v in_o robe_n of_o glory_n in_o eternal_a rest_n of_o sleep_n sleep_n be_v the_o image_n and_o picture_n of_o death_n in_o which_o we_o seem_v senseless_a and_o void_a of_o breath_n the_o bed_n seem_v as_o the_o grave_a in_o which_o we_o lay_v our_o body_n mould_n which_o turn_v to_o dust_n and_o clay_n and_o to_o the_o saint_n death_n be_v true_o but_o a_o sleep_n that_o do_v refresh_v their_o mind_n and_o safe_o keep_v their_o weary_a soul_n which_o when_o they_o be_v awake_a i_o mean_v alive_a very_o

therefore_o they_o do_v great_o desire_v and_o long_o to_o be_v dissolve_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n in_o who_o their_o joy_n and_o quiet_a do_v consist_v beside_o christ_n warm_v have_v the_o earth_n cold_a bed_n for_o his_o belove_a when_o he_o lay_v his_o head_n to_o rest_v three_o day_n therein_o and_o have_v oft_o call_v death_n but_o a_o sleep_n once_o to_o a_o jew_n enthrall_v four_o day_n in_o grave_n then_o do_v he_o groan_v and_o weep_v and_o say_v friend_n lazarus_n do_v sweet_o sleep_v and_o of_o the_o ruler_n jayrus_n his_o dead_a daughter_n he_o say_v she_o sleep_v which_o move_v some_o to_o laughter_n and_o holy_a martyr_n go_v as_o cheerful_o to_o take_v their_o death_n as_o in_o rose_n bed_n to_o lie_v because_o they_o know_v death_n to_o be_v but_o a_o sleep_n which_o do_v refresh_v their_o soul_n and_o body_n keep_v safe_a and_o unhurt_a unto_o that_o glorious_a day_n when_o they_o shall_v rise_v to_o live_v with_o christ_n foray_v but_o unto_o wicked_a man_n death_n be_v a_o terror_n which_o to_o remember_v fill_v their_o soul_n with_o horror_n if_o then_o the_o thought_n of_o death_n their_o mind_n affright_v how_o will_v they_o be_v amaze_v to_o feel_v his_o might_n when_o he_o do_v strike_v they_o with_o his_o deadly_a dart_n how_o loath_a will_v then_o the_o soul_n from_o body_n part_n because_o like_a friend_n they_o live_v on_o earth_n in_o joy_n well_o clad_v well_o feed_v and_o feel_v not_o much_o annoy_n now_o if_o a_o man_n to_o mortify_v one_o part_n of_o his_o weak_a body_n in_o such_o deadly_a smart_n be_v put_v unto_o that_o make_v he_o groan_n and_o cry_v oh_o than_o what_o will_v be_v the_o great_a misery_n for_o he_o to_o suffer_v when_o through_o every_o limb_n he_o feel_v death_n pang_n fierce_o assail_a he_o first_o from_o extreme_a part_n finger_n foot_n and_o toe_n then_o leg_n and_o arm_n and_o so_o in_o order_n go_v through_o every_o joint_n vein_n muscle_n sinew_n bone_n till_o at_o the_o heart_n it_o rest_v and_o there_o alone_o like_o a_o besieged_a prince_n his_o soul_n look_v out_o for_o help_v of_o friend_n who_o she_o do_v little_a doubt_n will_v so_o forsake_v she_o in_o her_o extreme_a need_n to_o wit_n youth_n physic_n helpless_a friend_n indeed_o then_o do_v she_o great_o fear_v tremble_v and_o quake_v expect_v hourly_o when_o the_o fiend_n will_v take_v her_o wretched_a self_n and_o then_o when_o she_o do_v see_v the_o flatter_a doctor_n part_v with_o his_o fee_n the_o weeping_z of_o his_o wife_n the_o loss_n of_o all_o jewel_n and_o brave_a apparel_n that_o be_v not_o small_a grief_n and_o vexation_n to_o his_o wretched_a mind_n that_o all_o his_o wealth_n he_o so_o must_v leave_v behind_o which_o he_o do_v gather_v with_o such_o grief_n and_o ca●e_n to_o serve_v the_o lord_n he_o have_v no_o time_n to_o spare_v and_o last_o now_o to_o think_v what_o will_v become_v of_o soul_n and_o body_n how_o the_o noisome_a worm_n serpent_n and_o vermin_n shall_v take_v for_o their_o food_n that_o dainty_a body_n which_o he_o think_v too_o good_a to_o tread_v on_o earth_n or_o to_o come_v in_o the_o air_n this_o will_v almost_o drive_v he_o into_o despair_n but_o when_o he_o think_v his_o soul_n must_v come_v before_o heart_n search_v judge_n and_o when_o he_o see_v the_o score_n of_o his_o great_a sin_n which_o his_o own_o conscience_n show_v and_o have_v not_o where_o to_o pay_v for_o well_o he_o know_v he_o do_v not_o show_v his_o faith_n by_o live_v well_o and_o therefore_o do_v deserve_v nothing_o but_o hell_n which_o when_o the_o soul_n do_v think_v on_o slavish_a fear_n in_o wicked_a man_n do_v bring_v they_o to_o despair_v which_o cause_v they_o to_o fret_v to_o howl_v and_o cry_v to_o think_v how_o bliss_n they_o lose_v in_o hell_n they_o will_v lie_v for_o evermore_o in_o torment_n past_a expression_n but_o all_o this_o while_n i_o have_v make_v a_o digression_n from_o what_o i_o do_v intend_v at_o first_o to_o write_v it_o seem_v i_o be_o mislead_v by_o darksome_a night_n of_o bad_a man_n death_n in_o which_o they_o can_v sleep_v for_o hellish_a fiend_n their_o soul_n awake_a do_v keep_v therefore_o i_o will_v pray_v to_o god_n that_o he_o may_v keep_v my_o soul_n and_o body_n so_o that_o i_o may_v sleep_v in_o rest_n and_o peace_n in_o bed_n as_o in_o my_o grave_n and_o that_o in_o mercy_n he_o will_v free_o save_v both_o soul_n and_o body_n to_o that_o bless_a day_n of_o resurrection_n that_o in_o heaven_n always_o i_o may_v with_o saint_n and_o angel_n shine_v as_o bright_a as_o do_v the_o sun_n and_o praise_n god_n day_n and_o night_n of_o the_o week_n the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v first_o compose_v the_o week_n into_o seav'n_n day_n as_o moses_n show_v thereby_o to_o teach_v we_o how_o to_o spend_v our_o time_n in_o meditation_n of_o his_o work_n divine_a and_o in_o three_o week_n god_n have_v his_o great_a work_n show_v the_o first_o be_v of_o the_o world_n creation_n in_o which_o the_o power_n and_o might_n of_o god_n appear_v the_o next_o be_v preservation_n in_o the_o year_n and_o age_n since_o till_o this_o same_o very_a hour_n and_o the_o three_o week_n do_v show_v his_o love_n and_o power_n in_o the_o redemption_n of_o all-fallen_a mankind_n but_o i_o be_o weak_a in_o body_n dull_a in_o mind_n so_o that_o not_o one_o of_o these_o i_o can_v declare_v as_o be_v befit_v for_o the_o best_a that_o be_v may_v come_v far_o short_a in_o such_o a_o sacred_a theme_n therefore_o i_o only_o do_v intend_v and_o mean_v to_o show_v each_o several_a day_n denomination_n and_o therein_o touch_v the_o work_n of_o god_n creation_n and_o in_o this_o place_n i_o now_o will_v brief_o speak_v of_o man_n frail_a life_n in_o david_n general_a week_n for_o he_o divide_v the_o life_n of_o mortal_a

ten_o year_n man_n be_v a_o harmless_a child_n and_o as_o a_o lamb_n his_o life_n be_v meek_a and_o mild_a but_o after_o that_o goat-like_a he_o skip_v and_o joy_n in_o foolish_a vanity_n and_o idle_a
