be_v in_o honour_n abide_v not_o psal_n 49._o 12._o and_o solomon_n say_v if_o a_o man_n live_v many_o year_n and_o rejoice_v in_o they_o all_o yet_o let_v he_o remember_v the_o day_n of_o darkness_n for_o they_o shall_v be_v many_o eccles._n 11._o 8._o they_o shall_v be_v many_o in_o comparison_n to_o the_o long_a life_n on_o earth_n the_o sinner_n than_o be_v to_o enjoy_v what_o he_o get_v here_o but_o a_o little_a while_n and_o be_v to_o be_v much_o long_o without_o it_o for_o as_o he_o come_v naked_a into_o the_o world_n so_o he_o must_v return_v naked_a out_o of_o it_o perhaps_o he_o spend_v the_o great_a part_n of_o his_o life_n in_o get_v and_o enjoy_v but_o for_o a_o little_a while_n in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o it_o his_o labour_n and_o care_n take_v up_o the_o most_o of_o

with_o the_o psalmist_n very_o every_o man_n in_o his_o best_a estate_n be_v altogether_o vanity_n and_o by_o consequence_n it_o must_v be_v true_a what_o our_o text_n say_v he_o that_o sow_v

all_o this_o felicity_n and_o not_o be_v afraid_a of_o these_o man_n not_o be_v discourage_v in_o our_o duty_n nor_o impatient_a if_o we_o suffer_v by_o they_o for_o they_o shall_v soon_o be_v cut_v down_o as_o the_o grass_n and_o wither_v as_o the_o green_a herb_n psal_n 37._o 2._o within_o a_o little_a while_o the_o powerful_a wicked_a man_n will_v be_v weak_a and_o the_o rich_a poor_a he_o
