that_o they_o which_o desire_v with_o comfort_n to_o bear_v the_o pang_n of_o death_n must_v die_v by_o faith_n that_o be_v they_o must_v set_v before_o their_o eye_n the_o promise_n of_o remission_n

it_o be_v that_o obedience_n to_o god_n in_o death_n be_v against_o corrupt_a nature_n and_o therefore_o our_o duty_n be_v the_o more_o to_o inure_v ourselves_o to_o the_o perform_n of_o it_o and_o that_o which_o the_o bless_a apostle_n say_v of_o himself_o i_o die_v daily_o aught_o to_o be_v continual_o our_o resolution_n and_o practice_n if_o we_o shall_v inquire_v how_o this_o may_v be_v do_v the_o answer_n be_v when_o god_n lay_v affliction_n upon_o we_o in_o our_o life_n time_n then_o by_o endeavour_v to_o bear_v they_o with_o patience_n meekness_n and_o lowliness_n for_o every_o

death_n of_o all_o and_o thus_o do_v whensoever_o god_n strike_v we_o with_o death_n we_o shall_v with_o comfort_n endure_v the_o same_o the_o three_o particular_a affliction_n be_v satanical_a

the_o question_n of_o conscience_n be_v how_o such_o person_n as_o be_v possess_v or_o fear_v possession_n or_o else_o endure_v molestation_n by_o the_o devil_n in_o their_o house_n may_v have_v
