whereas_o he_o say_v my_o day_n be_v as_o a_o span_n long_o he_o may_v have_v say_v they_o be_v not_o a_o inch_n long_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o world_n duration_n 3._o david_n may_v have_v say_v my_o age_n in_o this_o world_n be_v exceed_o little_a in_o comparison_n of_o the_o duration_n of_o the_o other_o world_n the_o age_n to_o come_v be_v no_o less_o than_o a_o eternity_n and_o though_o it_o have_v a_o beginning_n it_o shall_v have_v no_o end_n so_o that_o whereas_o the_o psalmist_n say_v my_o day_n be_v as_o a_o hand_n breadth_n he_o may_v have_v say_v they_o be_v as_o a_o hair_n

begin_v with_o this_o world_n and_o shall_v continue_v in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v and_o so_o be_v coaetaneous_a with_o both_o the_o world_n but_o all_o these_o be_v far_o short_a of_o this_o

utmost_a imaginable_a extent_n of_o time_n in_o comparison_n of_o eternity_n be_v far_o less_o than_o a_o instant_n be_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o long_a time_n be_v it_o possible_a to_o divide_v eternity_n into_o part_n a_o million_o of_o year_n will_v not_o be_v so_o much_o as_o a_o ten_o hundred_o thousand_o part_n and_o what_o then_o be_v seventy_o or_o fourscore_o year_n no_o wonder_v
