the_o ermite_n answer_v that_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o appetite_n or_o desire_n sensitive_a we_o be_v not_o bind_v but_o contrary_a it_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o appetite_n or_o desire_n reasonable_a voluntary_a and_o free_a under_o which_o the_o appetite_n sensitive_a ought_v to_o be_v both_o subject_n &_o govern_v the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v for_o that_o according_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o divyne_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o leave_v our_o own_o life_n and_o to_o accept_v death_n for_o the_o certain_a &_o sure_a salvation_n of_o our_o neighbour_n much_o more_o than_o be_v we_o bind_v to_o this_o charity_n for_o our_o own_o salvation_n the_o which_o we_o know_v for_o certain_a can_v be_v have_v ordinary_o if_o first_o we_o die_v not_o and_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o desire_v this_o last_o and_o eternal_a felicity_n we_o be_v consequent_o bind_v to_o desire_v all_o the_o mean_n necessary_a to_o the_o attain_v thereof_o and_o for_o not_o desire_v of_o death_n with_o reason_n as_o aforesaid_a many_o christian_n be_v damn_v which_o if_o they_o may_v will_v choose_v to_o live_v in_o this_o miserable_a world_n for_o ever_o &_o will_v say_v to_o almighty_a

manifest_a and_o plain_a that_o such_o man_n love_v not_o god_n and_o they_o have_v not_o charity_n see_v they_o never_o care_v to_o see_v his_o face_n wherein_o consist_v all_o our_o true_a and_o chief_a bliss_n and_o thus_o by_o this_o answer_n the_o merchant_n be_v thorough_o satisfy_v and_o he_o say_v this_o be_v a_o good_a point_n worthy_a to_o be_v well_o consider_v of_o many_o

in_o no_o wise_n secular_a and_o worldly_a man_n but_o without_o all_o doubt_n they_o be_v deceive_v for_o we_o be_v there_o unto_o all_o bind_v indifferent_o question_n the_o second_o question_n the_o second_o question_n be_v whether_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v a_o ill_a opinion_n of_o those_o that_o die_v unwilling_o the_o ermite_n answer_v say_v my_o son_n take_v heed_n to_o my_o word_n for_o in_o this_o place_n i_o will_v tell_v thou_o another_o point_n which_o as_o i_o think_v be_v of_o very_a few_o understand_v assure_v thyself_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o desire_v long_a life_n except_o it_o be_v to_o make_v some_o spiritual_a fruit_n either_o in_o himself_o or_o other_o wherefore_a when-soev_a a_o sick-man_n die_v unwilling_o and_o that_o he_o desire_v the_o prolong_n of_o hi●_n life_n principal_o to_o other_o end_n then_o to_o do_v spiritual_a good_a either_o in_o himself_o or_o in_o other_o i_o say_v that_o in_o this_o case_n he_o sin_v great_o my_o reason_n be_v for_o that_o if_o he_o have_v the_o virtue_n of_o hope_n and_o charity_n he_o will_v more_o desire_v to_o be_v join_v with_o his_o god_n than_o any_o other_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o in_o any_o sort_n give_v or_o ordain_v to_o that_o end_n that_o be_v the_o conjunction_n and_o union_n with_o the_o sovereign_a good_a it_o be_v needful_a then_o to_o satisfy_v thy_o demand_n with_o a_o distinction_n wherefore_o i_o say_v unto_o thou_o when_o a_o sick_a man_n die_v unwilling_o to_o the_o end_n he_o will_v abide_v in_o this_o world_n to_o joy_n and_o triumph_n &_o not_o to_o the_o
