who_o honour_v thou_o in_o this_o world_n but_o to_o resplendent_a and_o most_o excellent_a verity_n herself_o axi_fw-la thy_o discourse_n have_v make_v i_o change_v my_o mind_n &_o i_o be_o now_o so_o far_o from_o fear_v death_n that_o contrariwise_o i_o ardent_o desire_v the_o same_o and_o to_o express_v myself_o more_o magnanimious_o i_o be_o already_o in_o a_o manner_n out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o begin_v to_o enter_v into_o these_o divine_a and_o eternal_a path_n so_o that_o be_v whole_o ease_v of_o my_o infirmity_n i_o be_o quite_o become_v another_o man_n than_o that_o i_o be_v before_o cicero_n in_o his_o dialogue_n of_o old_a age_n towards_o the_o end_n there_o remain_v a_o four_o reason_n which_o seem_v to_o vex_v and_o torment_v old_a age_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o approach_n of_o death_n which_o at_o that_o time_n can_v not_o be_v far_o off_o but_o i_o think_v that_o old_a man_n to_o be_v very_o miserable_a which_o in_o the_o space_n of_o so_o long_a time_n before_o never_o learn_v that_o death_n simple_o be_v not_o to_o be_v fear_v but_o rather_o to_o be_v contemn_v if_o it_o destroy_v the_o soul_n as_o some_o think_v but_o according_a to_o my_o opinion_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v desire_v see_v it_o lead_v man_n to_o a_o place_n where_o he_o shall_v live_v eternal_o we_o can_v find_v any_o one_o betwixt_o these_o two_o opinion_n what_o shall_v i_o then_o fear_v if_o i_o either_o feel_v no_o misery_n at_o all_o or_o if_o i_o shall_v be_v happy_a after_o death_n beside_o this_o be_v there_o any_o man_n so_o foolish_a how_o young_a a_o gul_n soever_o he_o be_v to_o suppose_v that_o he_o have_v a_o patent_n of_o his_o life_n but_o till_o the_o evening_n he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o that_o that_o even_o youth_n itself_o be_v subject_a to_o many_o more_o kind_n of_o death_n than_o old_a age_n young_a man_n soon_o fall_v into_o disease_n they_o be_v more_o grievous_o sick_a and_o hardly_o heal_v so_o that_o it_o be_v rare_a to_o see_v man_n live_v to_o be_v old_a if_o this_o be_v not_o we_o shall_v live_v more_o wise_o and_o happy_o for_o old_a man_n be_v endue_v with_o the_o understanding_n of_o counsel_n and_o wisdom_n and_o without_o they_o commonwealth_n can_v not_o stand_v on_o foot_n but_o let_v we_o come_v to_o this_o fear_n of_o present_a death_n and_o in_o that_o old_a age_n be_v wrongful_o charge_v to_o be_v subject_a to_o this_o apprehension_n see_v this_o be_v a_o more_o common_a accident_n with_o youth_n for_o my_o part_n i_o feel_v in_o the_o death_n of_o my_o son_n &_o your_o brother_n of_o who_o great_a hope_n of_o good_a hereafter_o be_v conceive_v that_o death_n threaten_v all_o age_n some_o body_n may_v reply_v that_o a_o young_a man_n hope_n to_o live_v long_o which_o one_o age_a can_v expect_v this_o hope_n be_v true_o the_o hope_n of_o a_o young_a man_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o a_o light_a head_n for_o be_v there_o a_o great_a sottishness_n than_o to_o make_v sure_a and_o certain_a of_o that_o which_o be_v altogether_o uncertain_a and_o unsure_a but_o a_o old_a man_n have_v no_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n to_o conceive_v any_o such_o hope_n and_o i_o affirm_v that_o his_o condition_n herein_o be_v far_o better_a than_o a_o young_a man_n in_o that_o he_o have_v obtain_v what_o the_o young_a man_n do_v but_o hope_n for_o and_o that_o be_v long_a life_n which_o the_o old_a man_n have_v pass_v i_o pray_v you_o what_o length_n do_v you_o find_v in_o a_o man_n life_n fetch_v down_o unto_o i_o the_o long_a of_o all_o other_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o age_n of_o the_o king_n of_o the_o tartessian_o for_o i_o find_v in_o book_n that_o one_o arganthonius_n reign_v fourscore_o and_o live_v sixscore_o year_n but_o i_o see_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o

and_o piety_n the_o hour_n pass_v away_o so_o do_v the_o month_n that_o past_a never_o return_v again_o &_o what_o will_v come_v hereafter_o we_o know_v not_o every_o one_o must_v be_v content_v with_o the_o time_n allot_v he_o to_o live_v for_o as_o he_o that_o play_v a_o part_n upon_o a_o stage_n need_v not_o to_o repeat_v the_o whole_a comedy_n from_o one_o end_n to_o the_o other_o to_o

wise_a man_n shall_v live_v as_o long_o as_o the_o old_a man_n that_o ever_o live_v in_o the_o world_n because_o a_o short_a life_n be_v long_o enough_o for_o a_o man_n to_o carry_v himself_o therein_o honest_o and_o virtuous_o and_o so_o if_o our_o day_n shoot_v out_o at_o length_n we_o must_v be_v no_o more_o weary_a of_o they_o than_o labourer_n that_o after_o the_o beauty_n of_o the_o

have_v former_o purchase_v whatsoever_o be_v do_v according_a to_o nature_n we_o may_v place_v in_o the_o rank_n of_o good_a thing_n but_o what_o be_v more_o natural_a than_o to_o see_v old_a man_n die_v the_o same_o fall_v out_o to_o youth_n but_o somewhat_o against_o nature_n and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o despite_n of_o she_o so_o that_o when_o young_a man_n die_v i_o think_v i_o see_v as_o it_o be_v a_o great_a fire_n quench_v by_o a_o huge_a quantity_n of_o water_n where_o as_o contrariwise_o old_a man_n drop_n away_o of_o themselves_o without_o any_o violence_n offer_v like_a to_o a_o fire_n that_o quench_v of_o itself_o and_o even_o as_o apple_n but_o green_a and_o unripe_a fall_v not_o from_o the_o tree_n except_o we_o violent_o pluck_v they_o off_o &_o be_v ripe_a they_o fall_v off_o without_o use_v any_o great_a force_n thereto_o so_o also_o young_a man_n seem_v to_o die_v not_o without_o some_o violence_n offer_v to_o their_o nature_n &_o old_a man_n quite_o otherwise_o the_o which_o so_o cheer_v i_o up_o that_o the_o near_o i_o approach_v unto_o death_n the_o near_o i_o discern_v myself_o to_o hale_v in_o with_o that_o harbour_n and_o port_n where_o i_o pretend_v to_o anchor_n after_o so_o long_o &_o dangerous_a a_o navigation_n all_o the_o age_n of_o our_o life_n be_v limit_v but_o only_o old_a age_n wherein_o we_o live_v virtuous_o as_o long_o as_o the_o mean_n yet_o remain_v to_o labour_v in_o our_o vocation_n and_o otherwise_o to_o hold_v death_n in_o contempt_n the_o which_o may_v be_v the_o reason_n also_o that_o old_a age_n be_v more_o ardent_a and_o courageous_a than_o youth_n this_o be_v that_o which_o solon_n answer_v to_o the_o tyrant_n lisistratus_fw-la who_o interrogated_a he_o concern_v virtue_n wherewith_o he_o so_o brave_v he_o and_o be_v always_o opposite_a to_o his_o design_n because_o say_v solon_n i_o be_o old_a but_o the_o end_n of_o this_o life_n be_v then_o most_o sweet_a and_o excellent_a when_o the_o same_o nature_n which_o build_v deface_v also_o her_o work_n when_o a_o man_n till_o the_o last_o retain_v his_o sense_n &_o understanding_n entire_a for_o even_o as_o the_o carpenter_n or_o architect_n can_v easy_o
