be_v some_o man_n in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o sickness_n violent_a in_o throw_v away_o their_o sin_n not_o for_o want_v of_o love_n unto_o they_o but_o they_o see_v the_o sea_n grow_v high_a the_o tempest_n rage_v they_o begin_v to_o apprehend_v what_o death_n be_v and_o what_o hell_n be_v and_o know_v unless_o they_o lighten_v their_o vessel_n they_o can_v be_v safe_a then_o they_o be_v busy_a in_o the_o work_n they_o throw_v overboard_n their_o usury_n their_o drunkenness_n their_o swear_n and_o such_o like_a stuff_n but_o it_o be_v not_o out_o of_o hatred_n to_o their_o sin_n but_o of_o love_n to_o themselves_o for_o if_o they_o can_v continue_v in_o their_o sin_n and_o be_v save_v when_o they_o have_v do_v they_o can_v be_v content_v not_o to_o part_v their_o practice_n and_o
