near_o there_o be_v no_o man_n live_v but_o be_v assure_v that_o once_o he_o must_v pay_v the_o tribute_n due_a unto_o nature_n death_n but_o because_o most_o man_n put_v death_n è_fw-la

on_o they_o sickness_n and_o throughout_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o life_n less_o fear_v than_o death_n but_o when_o we_o apprehend_v a_o thing_n nocive_a as_o nocive_v a_o danger_n as_o a_o danger_n ready_a at_o hand_n for_o to_o assault_v we_o then_o do_v our_o dastard_a blood_n retire_v to_o the_o fountain_n of_o heat_n and_o what_o we_o can_v forcible_o withstand_v that_o we_o seek_v
