this_o flatter_a dream_n of_o happiness_n from_o which_o if_o they_o persist_v in_o it_o the_o dire_a experience_n of_o a_o woeful_a eternity_n will_v ere_o long_o awake_v they_o than_o frequent_o to_o entertain_v their_o mind_n with_o the_o thought_n of_o their_o departure_n hence_o for_o when_o i_o set_v myself_o serious_o to_o think_v of_o my_o die_a hour_n that_o fair_o represent_v to_o my_o delude_a mind_n the_o true_a state_n and_o condition_n of_o all_o worldly_a happiness_n here_o i_o plain_o see_v that_o i_o be_o tenant_n at_o will_n to_o a_o thousand_o contingency_n in_o every_o one_o of_o who_o power_n it_o be_v to_o turn_v i_o out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o out_o of_o my_o happiness_n together_o every_o moment_n of_o my_o life_n and_o that_o when_o i_o have_v erect_v this_o childish_a castle_n of_o card_n and_o house_v myself_o in_o it_o as_o in_o a_o imaginary_a fortress_n of_o impregnable_a security_n it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o every_o puff_n of_o wind_n to_o blow_v it_o down_o about_o my_o ear_n and_o bury_v i_o in_o its_o ruin_n in_o every_o serious_a prospect_n of_o my_o mortality_n i_o behold_v all_o my_o worldly_a enjoyment_n which_o promise_v i_o such_o mountain_n of_o happiness_n stand_v round_o my_o deathbed_n mock_v at_o all_o my_o foolish_a hope_n and_o expose_v my_o baffle_a expectation_n to_o scorn_n and_o derision_n and_o whilst_o in_o the_o anguish_n of_o my_o soul_n i_o cry_v out_o to_o they_o o_o you_o helpless_a impotent_a thing_n what_o be_v now_o become_v of_o all_o your_o boast_a comfort_n you_o that_o promise_v to_o be_v a_o heaven_n upon_o earth_n to_o i_o why_o do_v not_o you_o now_o help_v i_o in_o this_o my_o last_o extremity_n why_o do_v not_o you_o quench_v my_o rage_a thirst_n why_o do_v not_o you_o

the_o mighty_a good_n you_o promise_v but_o only_o a_o grave_a a_o coffin_n and_o a_o winding-sheet_n alas_o poor_a deceive_v wretch_n we_o leave_v not_o thou_o but_o thou_o must_v leave_v we_o be_v summon_v away_o by_o a_o fatal_a power_n which_o we_o can_v neither_o bribe_v nor_o resist_v thy_o body_n must_v go_v down_o into_o a_o cold_a dark_a grave_n and_o there_o lie_v utter_o insensible_a till_o the_o resurrection_n thy_o soul_n must_v pass_v into_o the_o region_n of_o spirit_n whither_o we_o be_v not_o permit_v to_o follow_v thou_o and_o where_o thou_o will_v have_v nothing_o to_o

now_o perform_v so_o little_a miserable_a comforter_n be_v you_o all_o and_o physician_n of_o no_o value_n such_o thought_n as_o these_o the_o remembrance_n of_o our_o mortality_n will_v be_v frequent_o suggest_v to_o we_o and_o if_o such_o thought_n do_v not_o cool_v and_o allay_v the_o heat_n of_o our_o affection_n to_o the_o world_n we_o be_v incurable_o fond_a of_o be_v deceive_v and_o

with_o the_o delight_n of_o this_o world_n our_o mind_n be_v general_o too_o frolic_a and_o jovial_a to_o admit_v of_o any_o serious_a impression_n and_o if_o at_o any_o time_n any_o good_a thought_n come_v in_o to_o visit_v we_o as_o those_o two_o angel_n do_v lot_n in_o sodom_n to_o warn_v we_o of_o the_o dire_a fate_n that_o hang_v over_o we_o our_o affection_n like_o the_o drunken_a sodomite_n

our_o jovial_a air_n and_o so_o long_o as_o we_o continue_v in_o this_o light_n vain_a temper_n there_o be_v nothing_o will_v be_v grateful_a to_o we_o but_o frothy_a mirth_n or_o loose_a company_n or_o gay_a idea_n of_o ourselves_o and_o of_o our_o own_o wit_n or_o wealth_n or_o beauty_n or_o finery_n and_o thus_o we_o shall_v fool_v away_o our_o life_n in_o perpetual_a vanity_n and_o impertinence_n in_o roll_v about_o from_o vanity_n to_o vanity_n and_o never_o be_v serious_n till_o we_o be_v force_v to_o it_o by_o some_o woeful_a experience_n but_o now_o to_o fix_v such_o a_o rove_a and_o volatile_a temper_n and_o thereby_o to_o render_v it_o accessible_a and_o hospitable_a to_o wise_a and_o good_a thought_n i_o know_v nothing_o more_o necessary_a than_o the_o frequent_a remembrance_n of_o our_o mortality_n for_o as_o for_o the_o future_a world_n of_o endless_a joy_n and_o torment_n though_o they_o be_v in_o themselves_o the_o most_o serious_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n yet_o be_v both_o future_a and_o invisible_a vain_a and_o sensual_a mind_n be_v not_o so_o capable_a of_o apprehend_v they_o with_o that_o degree_n of_o certainty_n that_o be_v necessary_a to_o render_v they_o affect_v and_o prevalent_a but_o that_o we_o must_v die_v we_o be_v all_o as_o certain_a of_o as_o of_o our_o present_a existence_n and_o therefore_o this_o if_o any_o thing_n must_v move_v and_o affect_v we_o if_o therefore_o together_o with_o those_o gay_a idea_n that_o possess_v our_o mind_n we_o will_v ever_o and_o anon_o mingle_v that_o of_o our_o mortality_n that_o will_v soon_o reduce_v our_o squander_v thought_n and_o make_v we_o serious_a in_o despite_n of_o our_o tooth_n as_o for_o instance_n when_o in_o thy_o night_n thought_n thou_o be_v pride_v thyself_o in_o the_o pomp_n and_o splendour_n of_o thy_o outward_a condition_n think_v thus_o with_o thyself_o alas_o within_o a_o little_a while_o this_o bed_n which_o now_o be_v as_o gay_a and_o as_o soft_a as_o the_o sleep_n and_o the_o sin_n it_o entertain_v must_v be_v my_o deathbed_n here_o i_o must_v lie_v a_o languish_a sad_a corpse_n which_o nothing_o in_o all_o this_o world_n can_v help_v or_o

with_o the_o image_n of_o a_o feast_n as_o to_o give_v myself_o any_o ease_n or_o content_v with_o these_o gay_a thing_n i_o be_o now_o so_o proud_a of_o and_o when_o at_o length_n i_o have_v groan_v away_o my_o fleet_a breath_n i_o must_v be_v remove_v from_o all_o my_o company_n &_o attendance_n into_o a_o dark_a lonely_a and_o desolate_a hole_n of_o earth_n where_o all_o my_o present_a pomp_n must_v expire_v and_o be_v overcast_v with_o everlasting_a darkness_n again_o when_o in_o the_o morning_n thou_o be_v entertain_v thy_o vanity_n with_o thy_o beauty_n thy_o wit_n or_o thy_o fine_a clothes_n think_v thus_o with_o thyself_o alas_o fond_a soul_n all_o these_o gay_a object_n of_o thy_o pride_n must_v ere_o long_o convert_v to_o rottenness_n and_o corruption_n that_o curl_a forehead_n must_v be_v bedew_v with_o clammy_a sweat_v those_o sprightly_a eye_n must_v wax_v as_o dim_v as_o a_o sullied_a mirror_n that_o charm_a voice_n must_v grow_v as_o weak_a as_o the_o faint_a echo_n of_o a_o distant_a valley_n and_o all_o those_o lily_n and_o rose_n on_o thy_o cheek_n must_v wither_v into_o the_o paleness_n of_o death_n and_o shroud_v themselves_o in_o the_o horror_n of_o the_o grave_a again_o when_o in_o the_o afternoon_n thou_o have_v be_v entertain_v thyself_o with_o mirth_n or_o sport_n or_o luxury_n go_v down_o into_o the_o charnel-house_n and_o there_o survey_v
