and_o of_o good_a name_n est_fw-la which_o i_o may_v fit_o term_v little_a death_n &_o the_o beginning_n of_o death_n itself_o and_o we_o must_v first_o of_o all_o acquaint_v ourselves_o with_o

death_n as_o the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o former_a promise_n do_v plain_o import_v hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o to_o many_o man_n the_o sorrow_n and_o pang_n of_o death_n be_v nothing_o so_o grievous_a and_o troublesome_a as_o the_o affliction_n &_o cross_n which_o be_v lay_v on_o they_o in_o the_o course_n of_o their_o life_n the_o second_o way_n of_o god_n presence_n be_v by_o a_o

into_o heaven_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o example_n of_o lazarus_n and_o thus_o much_o of_o the_o first_o duty_n which_o a_o sick_a man_n be_v to_o perform_v unto_o himself_o namely_o that_o he_o
