and_o live_v not_o in_o a_o wound_a state_n the_o face_n of_o death_n will_v waken_v conscience_n and_o cause_v it_o to_o speak_v much_o loud_a than_o it_o do_v in_o health_n and_o in_o prosperity_n

and_o that_o have_v cost_v we_o so_o dear_a as_o it_o have_v do_v when_o we_o be_v in_o love_n with_o holiness_n and_o know_v that_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v perfect_a in_o it_o till_o after_o

heaven_n to_o we_o and_o turn_v back_o our_o desire_n how_o easy_o shall_v we_o get_v above_o these_o trifte_n and_o perceive_v the_o vanity_n of_o all_o below_o and_o how_o unworthy_a they_o be_v to_o be_v once_o regard_v 8._o moreover_o it_o be_v much_o long_o of_o this_o last_o enemy_n that_o god_n be_v so_o dishonour_v by_o the_o fear_n and_o drooping_n of_o believer_n they_o be_v but_o

overwholm_v with_o doubt_n and_o troublesome_a fear_n lest_o they_o have_v not_o the_o faith_n and_o hope_n of_o saint_n and_o lest_o the_o love_n of_o god_n abide_v not_o in_o they_o and_o lest_o their_o heart_n be_v more_o on_o earth_n than_o heaven_n when_o they_o find_v themselves_o afraid_a of_o die_v and_o to_o have_v dark_a amaze_a thought_n about_o eternity_n and_o to_o think_v with_o less_o trouble_n and_o fear_n of_o earth_n than_o of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v this_o make_v they_o think_v that_o they_o be_v yet_o but_o worldling_n and_o have_v not_o place_v their_o happiness_n with_o god_n when_o perhaps_o it_o be_v but_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n that_o cause_v these_o unjust_a conclusion_n christian_n i_o shall_v tell_v thou_o more_o anon_o that_o god_n may_v be_v true_o love_v and_o desire_v by_o thou_o and_o heaven_n may_v be_v much_o more_o value_v than_o earth_n and_o yet_o the_o natural_a fear_n of_o death_n that_o stand_v in_o thy_o way_n may_v much_o perplex_v

this_o enemy_n be_v not_o the_o small_a cause_n of_o many_o of_o our_o particular_a sin_n and_o of_o the_o apostasy_n of_o many_o hypocrite_n indeed_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o strong_a of_o our_o
