in_o your_o heart_n mitigate_v and_o abate_v the_o sense_n of_o pain_n look_v to_o it_o that_o you_o do_v not_o leave_v he_o while_o you_o live_v and_o then_o rest_v confident_a of_o this_o that_o he_o will_v not_o forsake_v you_o when_o you_o come_v to_o die_v david_n can_v say_v psal_n 23._o 4_o though_o he_o do_v walk_v through_o the_o valley_n of_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n he_o will_v fear_v no_o evil_a for_o god_n rod_n and_o staff_n do_v comfort_v he_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v the_o pain_n of_o death_n be_v worst_a at_o a_o distance_n and_o not_o seldom_o more_o terrible_a to_o the_o spectator_n than_o to_o the_o patient_n and_o i_o do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o question_n but_o the_o throw_v and_o agony_n of_o many_o poor_a woman_n in_o child-bearing_a and_o those_o
