to_o a_o summer_n day_n and_o a_o short_a life_n to_o a_o winter_n day_n now_o why_o have_v god_n appoint_v such_o a_o short_a time_n to_o man_n in_o the_o world_n sure_o lest_o he_o shall_v defer_v to_o do_v good_a as_o his_o manner_n be_v for_o though_o his_o life_n be_v short_a yet_o he_o think_v he_o have_v time_n enough_o to_o repent_v the_o prophet_n say_v our_o year_n be_v but_o

short_a but_o the_o time_n of_o man_n be_v short_a and_o therefore_o christ_n say_v in_o this_o thy_o day_n as_o though_o no_o day_n can_v be_v call_v thy_o day_n but_o this_o day_n and_o therefore_o all_o that_o thou_o have_v to_o do_v thou_o must_v do_v this_o day_n consider_v this_o all_o you_o which_o travel_n towards_o heaven_n have_v we_o not_o need_v to_o make_v haste_n which_o must_v go_v such_o a_o long_a journey_n in_o so_o short_a a_o time_n how_o can_v he_o choose_v but_o run_v which_o remember_v that_o every_o day_n run_v away_o with_o his_o life_n how_o often_o do_v the_o scripture_n put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o our_o death_n and_o yet_o we_o no_o soon_o remember_v it_o but_o in_o a_o very_a short_a time_n it_o be_v forget_v again_o even_o so_o it_o be_v with_o we_o as_o the_o fooll_n say_v in_o his_o heart_n there_o be_v no_o god_n so_o we_o say_v in_o our_o heart_n there_o be_v no_o death_n or_o at_o least_o death_n will_v not_o come_v before_o we_o be_v old_a of_o all_o number_n we_o can_v skill_v to_o number_v our_o day_n we_o can_v number_v our_o sheep_n and_o our_o ox_n and_o our_o coin_n but_o we_o think_v that_o our_o day_n be_v infinite_a and_o therefore_o we_o never_o go_v about_o to_o number_v they_o we_o can_v number_v other_o man_n day_n and_o year_n and_o think_v they_o will_v die_v ere_o it_o be_v long_o if_o we_o see_v they_o sick_a or_o sore_o or_o old_a but_o we_o can_v number_v our_o own_o therefore_o the_o devil_n do_v never_o teach_v a_o man_n to_o number_v his_o day_n because_o he_o gain_v by_o the_o forgetfulness_n of_o death_n but_o the_o lord_n which_o will_v have_v a_o man_n to_o apply_v his_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n it_o be_v he_o which_o teach_v we_o to_o number_v our_o day_n and_o therefore_o moses_n pray-unto_a he_o that_o he_o may_v apply_v his_o heart_n unto_o wisdom_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v until_o man_n think_v upon_o death_n they_o never_o apply_v their_o heart_n unto_o wisdom_n but_o busy_v themselves_o with_o worldly_a matter_n as_o though_o they_o be_v feather_v a_o nest_n that_o shall_v never_o be_v pull_v down_o therefore_o the_o way_n to_o get_v wisdom_n be_v 〈◊〉_d apply_v your_o

and_o goodness_n we_o may_v become_v like_a to_o the_o apostle_n that_o teach_v we_o therefore_o when_o solomon_n show_v man_n the_o way_n how_o to_o come_v by_o wisdom_n he_o speak_v often_o of_o
