to_o make_v some_o seasonable_a application_n of_o the_o several_a part_n of_o my_o text_n which_o i_o have_v speak_v to_o since_o there_o be_v no_o happiness_n among_o the_o live_n but_o only_o the_o dead_a be_v bless_v first_o let_v we_o reflect_v a_o little_a upon_o ourselves_o and_o consider_v whether_o we_o live_v as_o become_v those_o that_o do_v in_o earnest_n believe_v these_o thing_n be_v

more_o lively_a for_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n than_o for_o the_o blessedness_n of_o those_o that_o be_v dead_a in_o christ_n be_v riches_n or_o honour_n or_o pleasure_n the_o most_o

wise_a choice_n see_v there_o be_v no_o happiness_n but_o among_o the_o dead_a see_v that_o you_o live_v like_a man_n that_o be_v thus_o persuade_v tear_v the_o world_n out_o of_o your_o heart_n and_o
