resolution_n we_o shall_v not_o find_v any_o danger_n or_o difficulty_n at_o all_o yet_o what_o be_v the_o pain_n that_o death_n bring_v we_o nay_o what_o can_v she_o do_v with_o those_o pain_n we_o feel_v we_o accuse_v she_o of_o all_o the_o evil_n we_o abide_v in_o end_v our_o life_n and_o consider_v not_o how_o many_o more_o wound_n or_o grievous_a sickness_n we_o have_v endure_v without_o death_n or_o how_o many_o more_o vehement_a pain_n we_o have_v suffer_v in_o this_o life_n in_o the_o which_o we_o call_v even_o she_o to_o our_o succour_n all_o the_o pain_n our_o life_n yield_v we_o at_o the_o last_o hour_n we_o impute_v to_o death_n not_o mark_v that_o life_n begin_v and_o continue_v in_o all_o sort_n of_o pain_n must_v also_o necessary_o end_v in_o pain_n not_o mark_v i_o say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o remainder_n of_o our_o life_n not_o death_n that_o torment_v we_o the_o end_n of_o our_o navigation_n that_o pain_v we_o not_o the_o haven_n we_o be_v to_o enter_v which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o safeguard_n against_o all_o wind_n we_o complain_v of_o death_n where_o we_o shall_v complain_v of_o life_n as_o if_o one_o have_v be_v long_o sick_a and_o beginning_n to_o be_v well_o shall_v accuse_v his_o health_n of_o his_o last_o pain_n and_o not_o the_o relic_n of_o his_o disease_n tell_v i_o what_o be_v it_o else_o to_o be_v dead_a but_o to_o be_v no_o more_o live_n in_o the_o world_n absolute_o and_o simple_o not_o to_o be_v in_o the_o world_n be_v it_o any_o pain_n do_v we_o then_o feel_v any_o pain_n when_o as_o yet_o we_o be_v not_o have_v we_o ever_o more_o resemblance_n of_o death_n then_o when_o we_o sleep_v or_o ever_o more_o rest_n then_o at_o that_o time_n now_o if_o this_o be_v no_o pain_n why_o accuse_v we_o death_n of_o the_o pain_n our_o life_n give_v we_o at_o our_o departure_n unless_o also_o we_o will_v fond_o accuse_v the_o time_n when_o as_o yet_o we_o be_v not_o of_o the_o pain_n we_o feel_v at_o our_o birth_n if_o the_o come_n in_o be_v with_o tear_n be_v it_o wonder_v that_o such_o be_v the_o go_v out_o if_o the_o beginning_n of_o our_o be_v be_v the_o beginning_n of_o our_o pain_n be_v it_o marvel_v that_o such_o be_v the_o end_n but_o if_o our_o not_o be_v in_o time_n past_a have_v be_v without_o pain_n &_o all_o this_o be_v contrariwise_o full_a of_o pain_n who_o shall_v we_o by_o reason_n accuse_v of_o the_o last_o pain_n the_o not_o be_v to_o come_v or_o the_o remnant_n of_o this_o present_a be_v we_o think_v we_o die_v not_o but_o when_o we_o yield_v up_o our_o last_o gasp_n but_o if_o we_o mark_v well_o we_o die_v every_o day_n every_o hour_n every_o moment_n we_o apprehend_v death_n as_o a_o thing_n unusual_a to_o we_o and_o yet_o have_v nothing_o so_o common_a in_o us._n our_o live_n be_v but_o continual_a die_a look_v how_o much_o we_o live_v we_o die_v how_o much_o we_o increase_v our_o life_n decrease_v we_o enter_v not_o a_o step_n into_o life_n but_o we_o enter_v a_o step_n into_o death_n who_o have_v live_v a_o three_o part_n of_o his_o year_n have_v a_o three_o part_n of_o himself_o dead_a who_o half_o his_o year_n be_v already_o half_o dead_a of_o our_o life_n all_o the_o time_n past_a be_v dead_a the_o present_a life_n and_o die_v at_o once_o and_o the_o future_a likewise_o shall_v die_v the_o past_a be_v no_o more_o the_o future_a be_v not_o yet_o the_o present_a be_v and_o no_o more_o be_v brief_o this_o whole_a life_n be_v but_o a_o death_n it_o be_v as_o a_o candle_n light_v in_o our_o body_n in_o one_o the_o wind_n make_v it_o melt_v away_o in_o another_o blow_v it_o clean_o out_o many_o time_n ere_o it_o be_v half_o burn_v in_o other_o it_o endure_v to_o the_o end_n howesoever_o it_o be_v look_v how_o much_o it_o shine_v so_o much_o it_o burn_v her_o shine_a be_v her_o burn_a her_o light_n be_v a_o vanish_v smoke_n her_o last_o fire_n her_o last_o wike_n and_o her_o last_o drop_n of_o moisture_n so_o be_v it_o in_o the_o life_n of_o man_n life_n and_o death_n in_o man_n be_v all_o one_o if_o we_o call_v the_o last_o breath_n death_n so_o must_v we_o all_o the_o rest_n all_o proceed_n from_o one_o place_n and_o all_o in_o one_o manner_n one_o only_a difference_n there_o be_v between_o this_o life_n and_o that_o we_o call_v death_n that_o during_o the_o one_o we_o have_v always_o whereof_o to_o die_v and_o after_o the_o other_o there_o remain_v only_o whereof_o to_o live_v in_o sum_n even_o he_o that_o think_v death_n simple_o to_o be_v the_o end_n of_o man_n ought_v not_o to_o fear_v it_o in_o asmuch_o as_o who_o desire_v to_o live_v long_o desire_v to_o die_v long_o and_o who_o fear_v soon_o to_o die_v fear_v to_o speak_v proper_o lest_o he_o may_v not_o long_o die_v but_o unto_o we_o bring_v up_o in_o a_o more_o holy_a school_n death_n be_v a_o far_a other_o thing_n neither_o need_n we_o as_o the_o pagan_n of_o consolation_n against_o death_n but_o that_o death_n serve_v we_o as_o a_o consolation_n against_o all_o sort_n of_o affliction_n so_o that_o we_o must_v not_o only_o strengthen_v ourselves_o as_o they_o not_o to_o fear_v it_o but_o accustom_v ourselves_o to_o hope_v for_o it_o for_o unto_o we_o it_o be_v not_o a_o depart_n from_o pain_n and_o evil_n but_o a_o access_n unto_o all_o good_a not_o the_o end_n of_o life_n but_o the_o end_n of_o death_n and_o the_o beginning_n of_o life_n better_o say_v solomon_n be_v the_o day_n of_o death_n than_o the_o day_n of_o birth_n and_o why_o because_o it_o be_v not_o to_o we_o a_o last_o day_n but_o the_o dawn_n of_o a_o everlasting_a day_n no_o more_o shall_v we_o have_v in_o that_o glorious_a light_n either_o sorrow_n for_o the_o past_a or_o expectation_n of_o the_o future_a for_o all_o shall_v be_v there_o present_a unto_o we_o &_o that_o
