namely_o bless_a be_v the_o dead_a which_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n etc._n etc._n bless_a be_v the_o dead_a which_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n blessedness_n be_v a_o thing_n that_o every_o man_n natural_o

most_o terrible_a yet_o this_o be_v but_o in_o respect_n of_o nature_n for_o to_o man_n in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n it_o be_v but_o a_o rest_n from_o their_o labour_n and_o a_o entrance_n into_o

self-murder_n die_v in_o their_o sin_n and_o be_v therefore_o accurse_v it_o be_v not_o say_v bless_a be_v all_o that_o die_v no_o it_o be_v far_o otherwise_o for_o they_o that_o die_v in_o their_o
