as_o for_o sudden_a death_n it_o be_v evil_a to_o they_o which_o lead_v a_o evil_a life_n because_o it_o find_v they_o unprepared_a it_o carry_v they_o away_o sudden_o unto_o torment_n but_o it_o be_v not_o evil_a to_o they_o which_o live_v well_o because_o it_o find_v they_o prepare_v it_o free_v they_o from_o much_o pain_n which_o other_o endure_v through_o long_a sickness_n and_o carry_v they_o

night_n as_o if_o they_o may_v die_v before_o morning_n and_o therefore_o whensoever_o death_n come_v it_o find_v they_o prepare_v and_o be_v a_o benefit_n unto_o they_o 2_o again_o if_o the_o

against_o they_o as_o have_v appear_v of_o late_a in_o the_o rebel_n of_o ireland_n now_o the_o devil_n be_v as_o a_o terrone_n rebel_n in_o the_o lord_n kingdom_n who_o then_o will_v he_o most_o

to_o be_v small_a and_o light_a at_o the_o time_n of_o death_n he_o make_v great_a and_o heavy_a even_o as_o a_o tree_n or_o 12._o piece_n of_o wood_n while_o it_o swim_v in_o a_o river_n seem_v to_o

make_v it_o heavy_a and_o begin_v most_o to_o trouble_v their_o conscience_n with_o it_o that_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a they_o may_v by_o it_o be_v bring_v to_o desperation_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o temptation_n when_o the_o godly_a seem_v most_o to_o be_v overcome_v they_o be_v but_o like_a to_o a_o man_n in_o a_o trance_n who_o lie_v as_o though_o he_o be_v dead_a 10._o yet_o he_o have_v life_n in_o he_o and_o therefore_o as_o paul_n see_v that_o life_n be_v in_o eutiches_n embrace_v he_o and_o deliver_v he_o alive_a when_o the_o people_n take_v he_o up_o for_o dead_a so_o god_n see_v life_n in_o the_o righteous_a be_v tempt_v when_o man_n take_v they_o for_o dead_a and_o he_o will_v at_o last_o so_o restore_v they_o as_o that_o they_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o with_o he_o 3_o last_o other_o behold_v they_o which_o be_v repute_v righteous_a to_o die_v very_o stranglie_o to_o rave_v to_o blaspheme_v to_o utter_v many_o idle_a and_o impious_a speech_n to_o be_v unrulie_a and_o behave_v themselves_o very_a foolishlie●_n they_o begin_v to_o suspect_v their_o profession_n but_o let_v they_o know_v that_o these_o thing_n may_v arise_v from_o the_o extremity_n of_o their_o

misbehave_v themselves_o rather_o like_o madman_n than_o christian_n and_o therefore_o as_o paul_n say_v of_o himself_o after_o regeneration_n it_o 17._o be_v no_o more_o i_o that_o do_v it_o but_o the_o sin_n that_o dwell_v in_o i_o so_o may_v i_o say_v of_o they_o it_o be_v not_o they_o which_o do_v it_o but_o the_o disease_n which_o be_v upon_o they_o all_o sin_n commit_v by_o the_o righteous_a in_o those_o extremity_n be_v but_o sin_n of_o ignorance_n because_o they_o want_v the_o use_n of_o reason_n to_o judge_v of_o sin_n they_o be_v also_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n arise_v from_o the_o frailty_n of_o their_o flesh_n and_o for_o they_o they_o will_v afterward_o repent_v if_o they_o recover_v the_o use_n of_o reason_n and_o be_v able_a to_o know_v they_o to_o be_v sin_n or_o if_o they_o do_v not_o they_o be_v free_o pardon_v in_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n as_o well_o as_o other_o such_o sin_n be_v wherefore_o i_o say_v to_o those_o which_o censure_v they_o

or_o extraordinary_a the_o ordinary_a evil_n be_v those_o which_o either_o all_o man_n or_o most_o man_n do_v suffer_v and_o these_o be_v either_o corporal_a or_o spiritual_a corporal_a as_o

shall_v have_v their_o fiery_a trial_n in_o this_o world_n by_o bicker_n 20._o buffet_n and_o winnowing_n of_o satan_n they_o be_v fool_n and_o slow_a of_o heart_n to_o believe_v like_o the_o two_o
