god_n of_o hell_n and_o of_o everlasting_a torment_n and_o peyne_v and_o like_v as_o the_o heathen_a in_o time_n past_a be_v persuade_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v feign_a which_o the_o poete_n feign_v of_o tartarus_n and_o phlegeton_n of_o minoe_n &_o radamanthis_n of_o hell_n and_o the_o region_n of_o the_o develishe_a and_o of_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o same_o whereupon_o seneca_n take_v occasion_n to_o say_v that_o the_o poete_v delude_v and_o fear_v we_o with_o vain_a menass_n and_o fear_n so_o verayly_a a_o great_a part_n of_o man_n think_v that_o these_o be_v but_o tale_n and_o contemn_v they_o as_o vain_a thretenynge_n which_o be_v set_v forth_o to_o we_o in_o holy_a scripture_n of_o hell_n of_o eternal_a death_n of_o the_o fire_n wherein_o shall_v be_v wail_v and_o gnashing_n of_o tethe_fw-mi of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n together_o to_o partake_v either_o joy_n or_o peyne_v when_o otherwise_o all_o these_o thing_n do_v imprynte_a in_o the_o heart_n of_o godly_a man_n and_o such_o as_o live_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n a_o wonderful_a fear_n and_o horror_n and_o be_v as_o the_o po●te_n say_v name_n which_o even_o sow_v fearful_a in_o our_o ear_n thou_o have_v the_o first_o and_o chief_a cause_n why_o we_o for_o the_o most_o part_n all_o of_o we_o in_o this_o wise_n differ_v the_o reformation_n of_o our_o life_n ¶_o the_o second_o cause_n now_o let_v we_o proceed_v unto_o a_o other_o cause_n which_o be_v the_o hope_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n this_o hope_n be_v great_a in_o very_o dead_a but_o yet_o it_o be_v such_o as_o they_o may_v well_o enough_o deceyve_v themselves_o with_o al._n for_o of_o their_o hope_n they_o have_v no_o sure_a trial_n at_o all_o with_o this_o hope_n i_o say_v the_o continual_a enemy_n of_o mank_v keep_v man_n in_o sin_n wonderful_o and_o by_o setting_a forth_o to_o he_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n bring_v he_o unto_o this_o pass_n that_o he_o fear_v not_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n at_o all_o but_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o that_o like_a as_o god_n grant_v forgevenes_n at_o the_o first_o to_o the_o repentaunte_n and_o most_o fatherly_a show_v his_o mercy_n unto_o such_o as_o be_v convert_v unto_o he_o so_o do_v he_o also_o sharp_o punyshe_v those_o man_n which_o do_v continue_v obstinate_o in_o vice_n such_o man_n then_o as_o repent_v not_o unfeyned_o conceyve_v a_o false_a hope_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n but_o the_o devyl_n notwithstanding_o by_o set_v forth_o to_o man_n this_o hope_n bring_v this_o thing_n to_o pass_v that_o they_o live_v on_o forth_o quiet_o and_o secur_o in_o vice_n and_o wickedness_n nor_o think_v erneste_o with_o themselves_o at_o any_o time_n of_o any_o reformation_n or_o amendment_n yea_o they_o despise_v thabundaunce_n and_o riches_n of_o the_o bountifulness_n and_o long_o suffer_v of_o god_n be_v ignorant_a that_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n do_v induce_v and_o lead_v unto_o repentance_n as_o paul_n testifye●…_n ▪_o in_o this_o place_n also_o let_v we_o call_v that_o thy●…_n unto_o remembrance_n which_o our_o saviour_n speak_v of_o in_o s._n mat._n repent_v because_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v at_o hand_n and_o also_o that_o which_o the_o lord_n speak_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o his_o prophet_n esai_n unto_o who_o shall_v i_o have_v respect_n but_o unto_o such_o as_o repent_v and_o be_v low_a in_o spirit_n and_o fear_v my_o commandment_n in_o s._n luke_n also_o he_o declare_v the_o same_o thing_n except_o you_o repent_v you_o be_v all_o of_o you_o utter_o cast_v away_o and_o in_o the_o act_n peter_n say_v in_o this_o wise_n repent_v therefore_o and_o be_v convert_v that_o your_o sin_n may_v be_v take_v away_o here_o i_o may_v allege_v infinite_a place_n of_o scripture_n which_o make_v very_o plain_o for_o this_o purpose_n that_o no_o man_n which_o do_v not_o unfeigned_o repent_v can_v conceyve_v certain_a hope_n to_o have_v remission_n of_o his_o sin_n which_o i_o will_v omi●_n at_o this_o tyme._n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o he_o look_v in_o vain_a for_o to_o hau●_n forgevenes_n at_o god_n hand_n which_o true_o repent_v not_o with_o his_o herte_n ▪_o and_o although_o there_o be_v no_o time_n o●_n repentance_n late_o in_o god_n sight_n as_o appear_v by_o thexample_n of_o the_o thief_n which_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o scripture_n also_o god_n will_v not_o the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n but_o that_o he_o repent_v and_o live_v yet_o who_o may_v not_o see_v how_o dangerous_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o differ_v the_o reformation_n of_o our_o life_n since_o that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n as_o the_o poet_n say_v in_o such_o favour_n with_o god_n that_o he_o can_v assure_v himself_o of_o the_o next_o morrow_n follow_v for_o many_o time_n death_n creep_v &_o stele_v upon_o we_o when_o we_o look_v jest_n for_o it_o so_o that_o than_o there_o be_v no_o time_n of_o repentance_n leave_v nor_o space_n to_o reform_v and_o amend_v our_o lyviug_n here_o i_o think_v it_o needs_o to_o speak_v of_o those_o thing_n which_o plinius_n make_v mention_v of_o in_o his_o natural_a history_n touching_n sudden_a death_n sense_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o almost_o in_o our_o time_n more_o common_a than_o the_o same_o for_o not_o long_o ago_o two_o old_a man_n of_o our_o country_n which_o dwelte_v both_o in_o one_o cytye_n die_v sodaynlye_o upon_o a_o certain_a night_n when_o they_o do_v resort_v unto_o a_o certain_a woman_n that_o they_o be_v wont_a to_o company_n with_o all_o the_o one_o die_v of_o a_o sudden_a passion_n the_o other_o be_v thrust_v through_o with_o a_o dagger_n and_o never_o neither_o of_o they_o ever_o speak_v word_n after_o that_o time_n now_o ▪_o let_v every_o man_n judge_n for_o himself_o in_o what_o danger_n these_o twain_o dye_v and_o though_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n common_a as_o well_o to_o the_o godly_a as_o ungodly_a to_o dye_v sudden_o and_o the_o just_a can_v not_o be_v but_o in_o good_a state_n what_o death_n so_o ever_o they_o die_v yet_o very_o a_o man_n can_v not_o devise_v how_o horryble_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v for_o one_o to_o dye_v thus_o which_o be_v with_o out_o repentance_n of_o how_o many_o have_v we_o hear_v which_o be_v slay_v out_o of_o hand_n by_o multyplyenge_a word_n among_o other_o ruffyan_n in_o tavern_n which_o have_v be_v take_v in_o bed_n with_o other_o man_n wyve_n or_o have_v be_v other_o wise_n sudden_o cast_v away_o by_o one_o mean_n or_o other_o in_o gamn_v or_o otherwise_o to_o pass_v by_o those_o which_o have_v break_v their_o neck_n of_o horseback_n have_v perysh_v sodaynlye_o by_o shypwreake_n and_o have_v be_v oppress_v with_o the_o ruin_n and_o falling_n of_o house_n upon_o they_o or_o with_o some_o other_o such_o chance_n let_v we_o then_o admit_v this_o that_o god_n will_v have_v the_o sinner_n to_o repent_v rather_o than_o to_o dye_v as_o he_o undoubted_o will_v yet_o by_o reason_n of_o uncertain_a chance_n we_o can_v not_o without_o great_a danger_n diferre_v the_o reformation_n of_o our_o life_n yea_o though_o we_o put_v our_o hope_n firm_o in_o the_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n we_o must_v repent_v therefore_o while_o we_o live_v upon_o yearthe_n and_o be_v lusty_a and_o have_v our_o helthe_n but_o the_o world_n be_v clean_a contrary_n for_o we_o see_v daily_o that_o the_o yongeman_n give_v himself_o to_o belly_n cheer_n drink_v and_o riot_n he_o flaterethe_v himself_o and_o say_v to_o himself_o that_o he_o may_v live_v many_o year_n and_o therefore_o mind_v not_o any_o thing_n the_o reformation_n and_o amendment_n of_o his_o life_n but_o differ_v and_o put_v that_o thing_n of_o until_o his_o old_a age_n whereunto_o whether_o he_o shall_v ever_o attain_v or_o never_o it_o be_v hear_v for_o any_o man_n to_o say_v for_o tell_v i_o one_o of_o many_o thousand_o which_o have_v live_v until_o that_o age_n but_o for_o his_o pleasure_n let_v we_o admytte_n that_o he_o may_v live_v so_o long_o as_o he_o will_v wish_v what_o do_v he_o than_o i_o pray_v you_o go_v he_o about_o any_o reformation_n or_o amendment_n of_o his_o life_n no_o no._n this_o be_v ever_o more_o his_o sayinge_v i_o will_v amend_v to_o morrow_n to_o morrow_n and_o thus_o with_o such_o delayinge_v he_o flater_v and_o deceive_v himself_o at_o length_n for_o he_o be_v uncertain_a even_o as_o all_o
