do_v as_o they_o do_v if_o they_o do_v but_o think_v that_o these_o speech_n and_o deed_n shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n as_o the_o bird_n guide_v her_o flight_n with_o her_o train_n so_o the_o life_n of_o man_n be_v best_a direct_v by_o a_o continual_a recourse_n unto_o his_o end_n the_o think_n of_o death_n have_v make_v many_o sin_n avoid_v like_o the_o devil_n when_o christ_n allege_v scripture_n 4._o it_o be_v like_o a_o strainer_n all_o the_o thought_n and_o speech_n and_o action_n which_o come_v through_o it_o be_v cleanse_v and_o purify_v like_o a_o cloth_n which_o come_v out_o of_o the_o water_n see_v then_o that_o so_o much_o fruit_n grow_v of_o one_o stalk_n which_o be_v the_o number_n of_o our_o day_n let_v we_o consider_v what_o a_o harvest_n we_o have_v lose_v which_o happy_o before_o this_o day_n never_o pray_v with_o moses_n that_o the_o lord_n will_v teach_v we_o to_o number_v our_o day_n what_o if_o we_o have_v die_v in_o the_o day_n of_o our_o ignorance_n like_o judas_n which_o hang_v himself_o before_o he_o can_v see_v the_o passion_n or_o resurrection_n 5._o or_o ascension_n of_o christ_n but_o god_n have_v care_v for_o we_o more_o than_o we_o have_v care_v for_o ourselves_o we_o shall_v have_v number_v our_o day_n and_o sin_n too_o but_o alas_o how_o many_o day_n have_v we_o spend_v and_o yet_o never_o think_v why_o any_o day_n be_v give_v we_o but_o as_o the_o old_a year_n go_v and_o a_o new_a year_n come_v so_o we_o think_v that_o a_o new_a will_v follow_v that_o and_o so_o we_o think_v that_o another_o will_v come_v after_o this_o and_o so_o they_o think_v which_o be_v dead_a already_o this_o be_v not_o to_o number_v our_o day_n but_o to_o provoke_v god_n to_o shorten_v our_o day_n there_o be_v few_o here_o which_o have_v not_o see_v twenty_o year_n now_o if_o we_o have_v but_o every_o year_n learn_v one_o virtue_n since_o we_o be_v bear_v we_o may_v by_o this_o time_n have_v be_v like_o saint_n among_o man_n but_o the_o time_n be_v yet_o to_o come_v when_o we_o must_v apply_v our_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n to_o riches_n &_o pleasure_n we_o have_v apply_v our_o heart_n and_o our_o eye_n and_o our_o ear_n and_o our_o hand_n too_o but_o to_o wisdom_n we_o have_v not_o apply_v our_o heart_n there_o may_v be_v many_o cause_n but_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o cause_n if_o we_o have_v number_v our_o day_n for_o sure_o if_o a_o man_n can_v persuade_v himself_o that_o this_o be_v his_o last_o day_n as_o it_o may_v be_v he_o will_v not_o defer_v his_o repentance_n until_o to_o morrow_n if_o he_o can_v think_v that_o this_o be_v his_o last_o meal_n that_o ever_o he_o shall_v eat_v he_o will_v not_o surfeit_v if_o he_o can_v believe_v that_o the_o word_n which_o he_o do_v speak_v to_o day_n shall_v be_v the_o last_o that_o ever_o he_o shall_v speak_v he_o will_v not_o offend_v with_o his_o tongue_n if_o he_o can_v be_v persuade_v that_o this_o sermon_n shall_v be_v the_o last_o sermon_n that_o ever_o he_o shall_v hear_v he_o will_v hear_v it_o better_o than_o ever_o he_o hear_v any_o yet_o yet_o breath_n be_v in_o the_o body_n and_o the_o heart_n may_v apply_v itself_o and_o the_o eye_n may_v apply_v itself_o and_o the_o ear_n may_v apply_v itself_o and_o the_o hand_n may_v apply_v itself_o work_v while_o it_o be_v light_a i_o can_v but_o teach_v you_o with_o word_n as_o john_n baptise_a with_o water_n as_o moses_n pray_v the_o lord_n to_o teach_v he_o to_o number_v his_o day_n so_o you_o must_v pray_v the_o lord_n to_o teach_v you_o to_o number_v your_o day_n and_o now_o i_o lead_v you_o to_o number_v your_o day_n it_o may_v be_v that_o thou_o have_v but_o twenty_o year_n to_o serve_v god_n will_v thou_o not_o live_v twenty_o year_n like_o a_o christian_a that_o thou_o may_v live_v a_o thousand_o year_n like_o a_o angel_n it_o may_v be_v that_o thou_o have_v but_o ten_o year_n to_o serve_v he_o will_v thou_o not_o serve_v ten_o year_n for_o heaven_n which_o will_v serve_v twenty_o year_n for_o a_o farm_n it_o may_v be_v that_o thou_o have_v but_o five_o year_n to_o serve_v god_n will_v thou_o spend_v five_o year_n well_o to_o redeem_v all_o thy_o year_n for_o five_o yet_o god_n do_v know_v whether_o many_o here_o have_v so_o long_o to_o repent_v for_o all_o the_o year_n which_o they_o have_v spend_v in_o sin_n if_o thou_o be_v bear_v but_o to_o day_n thy_o journey_n be_v not_o a_o hundred_o year_n if_o thou_o be_v a_o man_n half_a thy_o time_n be_v spend_v already_o if_o thou_o be_v a_o old_a man_n than_o thou_o be_v draw_v to_o thy_o inn_n and_o thy_o race_n be_v but_o a_o breath_n therefore_o as_o christ_n say_v unto_o his_o disciple_n when_o he_o find_v they_o sleep_v 40_o can_v you_o not_o watch_v one_o hour_n so_o i_o say_v to_o myself_o and_o to_o you_o can_v we_o not_o pray_v can_v we_o not_o suffer_v a_o little_a while_n he_o which_o be_v tire_v can_v crawl_v a_o little_a way_n a_o little_a far_o one_o step_n more_o for_o a_o kingdom_n for_o this_o cause_n god_n will_v not_o have_v man_n know_v when_o they_o shall_v die_v because_o they_o shall_v make_v ready_a at_o all_o time_n have_v no_o more_o certainty_n of_o one_o hour_n than_o another_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n say_v watch_v because_o you_o know_v not_o when_o the_o lord_n will_v come_v to_o take_v you_o or_o to_o judge_v you_o happy_a be_v they_o which_o hear_v the_o word_n and_o keep_v it_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o death_n be_v the_o last_o upon_o earth_n that_o the_o time_n of_o man_n be_v set_v that_o his_o race_n be_v short_a that_o he_o think_v not_o of_o it_o that_o if_o he_o do_v remember_v it_o it_o will_v make_v he_o apply_v his_o mind_n to_o good_a as_o he_o do_v to_o evil_a and_o now_o i_o end_v as_o i_o begin_v the_o lord_n teach_v we_o to_o number_v our_o day_n that_o we_o may_v apply_v our_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n amen_n finis_fw-la a_o looking-glass_n for_o drunkard_n gen._n 9_o 20._o 21._o 20_o noah_n also_o begin_v to_o be_v a_o husbandman_n and_o

his_o sin_n and_o then_o of_o his_o curse_n in_o his_o brethren_n first_o of_o their_o reverence_n and_o then_o of_o their_o blessing_n now_o we_o will_v speak_v of_o the_o father_n and_o after_o of_o his_o child_n then_o say_v moses_n noah_n begin_v to_o be_v a_o husbandman_n this_o be_v the_o first_o name_n which_o be_v give_v to_o noah_n after_o the_o flood_n he_o be_v call_v a_o husbandman_n and_o the_o first_o work_n which_o be_v mention_v be_v the_o plant_n of_o a_o vineyard_n one_o will_v think_v when_o all_o man_n be_v drown_v with_o the_o flood_n and_o none_o leave_v alive_a to_o

have_v entitle_v he_o king_n of_o the_o world_n and_o not_o a_o husbandman_n of_o the_o earth_n see_v there_o be_v no_o such_o man_n as_o noah_n be_v which_o have_v more_o in_o his_o hand_n than_o any_o king_n have_v in_o the_o world_n or_o shall_v have_v to_o the_o world_n end_n but_o hereby_o the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v show_v that_o god_n do_v not_o respect_n king_n for_o their_o title_n nor_o man_n for_o their_o riches_n as_o we_o do_v and_o therefore_o he_o name_v noah_n after_o the_o work_n which_o he_o do_v not_o after_o the_o possession_n which_o he_o have_v a_o husbandman_n it_o seem_v that_o there_o be_v great_a diversity_n between_o their_o age_n and_o we_o for_o if_o we_o shall_v see_v now_o a_o king_n go_v to_o plough_v a_o noble_a man_n drive_v the_o team_n a_o

with_o his_o righteousness_n the_o body_n have_v many_o garment_n but_o the_o soul_n have_v one_o garment_n every_o clout_n will_v cover_v our_o sore_n but_o the_o fine_a silk_n will_v not_o cover_v
