be_v say_v now_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o next_o now_o if_o we_o have_v not_o remember_v our_o lord_n and_o creator_n in_o the_o day_n of_o our_o youth_n and_o withal_o have_v not_o give_v our_o

as_o much_o to_o prepare_v sacrifice_n of_o his_o body_n and_o soul_n ready_a and_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n because_o the_o night_n be_v at_o hand_n when_o he_o can_v pray_v nor_o hear_v nor_o

have_v need_n of_o wing_n therefore_o in_o the_o next_o consequence_n it_o be_v further_a to_o be_v observe_v what_o further_a duty_n we_o be_v to_o proceed_v in_o as_o follow_v moses_n in_o the_o 90._o psalm_n vers_fw-la 12_o say_v teach_v we_o to_o number_v our_o day_n that_o we_o may_v apply_v our_o heart_n unto_o wisdom_n this_o psalm_n be_v compile_v by_o moses_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o title_n at_o what_o time_n the_o spy_n return_v from_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n and_o god_n for_o the_o murmur_a of_o they_o pronounce_v that_o all_o which_o be_v above_o twenty_o year_n old_a shall_v die_v in_o the_o wilderness_n except_o caleb_n and_o josua_n that_o encourage_v their_o brother_n to_o go_v into_o canaan_n now_o when_o moses_n hear_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n pronounce_v against_o himself_o and_o all_o the_o jew_n which_o come_v out_o of_o egypt_n except_o only_o two_o that_o all_o shall_v die_v before_o they_o come_v to_o the_o land_n which_o they_o seek_v for_o he_o pray_v thus_o for_o himself_o and_o the_o rest_n teach_v we_o o_o lord_n to_o number_v our_o day_n that_o we_o may_v give_v our_o heart_n unto_o wisdom_n that_o be_v see_v we_o must_v needs_o die_v and_o that_o our_o day_n be_v short_a teach_v we_o therefore_o to_o think_v upon_o death_n that_o we_o may_v die_v in_o thy_o fear_n o_o lord_n and_o so_o to_o live_v again_o for_o evermore_o this_o show_v we_o that_o the_o consideration_n of_o our_o mortality_n will_v make_v we_o apply_v our_o heart_n to_o godliness_n therefore_o moses_n think_v of_o his_o death_n run_v to_o wisdom_n as_o a_o remedy_n against_o death_n therefore_o we_o must_v come_v to_o some_o schoolmaster_n which_o be_v like_o saint_n john_n baptist_n what_o shall_v we_o do_v that_o we_o may_v grow_v in_o knowledge_n as_o we_o grow_v in_o year_n teach_v i_o say_v moses_n to_o number_v my_o day_n that_o i_o may_v apply_v my_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n whereby_o moses_n tell_v we_o that_o this_o be_v one_o of_o his_o help_n which_o make_v he_o profit_n in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n to_o remember_v his_o day_n as_o a_o man_n which_o have_v a_o set_a time_n for_o his_o tax_n listen_v to_o the_o clock_n &_o count_v his_o hour_n so_o we_o have_v a_o set_a time_n to_o serve_v god_n work_v while_o it_o be_v day_n john_n 9.4_o say_v christ_n what_o he_o do_v mean_a by_o this_o day_n the_o apostle_n show_v we_o say_v this_o be_v the_o day_n of_o salvation_n that_o be_v this_o life_n be_v the_o day_n wherein_o we_o shall_v work_v our_o salvation_n this_o be_v a_o long_a tax_n therefore_o we_o have_v need_v to_o remember_v our_o day_n and_o lose_v not_o a_o minuit_fw-la lest_o we_o be_v be-nighted_n before_o our_o work_n be_v do_v as_o god_n have_v number_v our_o day_n so_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o remember_v our_o day_n or_o else_o it_o seem_v we_o can_v apply_v our_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n that_o be_v unless_o we_o think_v upon_o death_n we_o can_v fashion_v ourselves_o to_o a_o godly_a life_n though_o we_o be_v aswell_o instruct_v as_o moses_n be_v this_o we_o find_v daily_o in_o ourselves_o that_o the_o forgetfulness_n of_o death_n make_v we_o to_o apply_v our_o heart_n unto_o folly_n and_o pleasure_n and_o all_o voluptuousness_n that_o contrary_a to_o his_o advice_n work_v your_o salvation_n we_o work_v our_o damnation_n therefore_o this_o be_v the_o fruit_n which_o come_v to_o a_o man_n by_o number_v or_o remember_v his_o day_n god_n teach_v man_n to_o apply_v his_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n and_o that_o be_v his_o lesson_n which_o he_o give_v for_o that_o purpose_n remember_v thy_o day_n that_o be_v think_v that_o wisdom_n be_v a_o long_a study_n and_o that_o thou_o have_v but_o a_o short_a time_n to_o get_v it_o and_o this_o will_v make_v thou_o get_v ground_n of_o virtue_n therefore_o five_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v note_v in_o these_o word_n first_o that_o death_n be_v the_o heaven_n of_o every_o man_n whether_o he_o sit_v in_o the_o throne_n or_o keep_v in_o a_o cottage_n at_o last_o he_o must_v knock_v at_o death_n door_n the_o second_o be_v that_o man_n life_n be_v decree_v and_o his_o bound_n appoint_v which_o he_o can_v pass_v three_o that_o our_o day_n be_v few_o as_o though_o we_o be_v send_v into_o this_o world_n but_o to_o see_v it_o four_o the_o aptness_n of_o man_n to_o forget_v death_n rather_o than_o any_o thing_n else_o last_o to_o remember_v how_o short_a a_o time_n we_o have_v to_o live_v will_v make_v we_o to_o apply_v our_o heart_n to_o that_o which_o be_v good_a for_o the_o first_o point_n be_v that_o as_o every_o man_n have_v a_o day_n to_o come_v into_o this_o world_n so_o he_o shall_v have_v a_o day_n to_o go_v out_o of_o this_o world_n we_o be_v not_o lodge_v in_o a_o castle_n but_o in_o a_o inn_n where_o we_o be_v but_o guest_n &_o therefore_o s._n peter_n call_v we_o pilgrim_n and_o stranger_n we_o be_v not_o citizen_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o citizen_n of_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v we_o have_v here_o no_o abide_v city_n but_o we_o look_v for_o one_o to_o come_v as_o christ_n say_v my_o kingdom_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n so_o we_o may_v say_v my_o dwell_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n but_o the_o soul_n sore_v up-ward_n whence_o it_o come_v and_o the_o body_n stoop_v downward_o whence_o it_o come_v every_o man_n be_v but_o a_o tenant_n at_o will_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o sure_a but_o death_n in_o paradise_n we_o may_v live_v or_o die_v every_o thing_n and_o every_o day_n suffer_v some_o eclipse_n and_o nothing_o stand_v at_o a_o stay_n but_o our_o creator_n call_v to_o another_o let_v we_o leave_v this_o world_n our_o father_n summon_v we_o and_o we_o shall_v summon_v our_o child_n to_o the_o grave_n so_o in_o a_o hour_n we_o be_v and_o be_v not_o we_o may_v well_o be_v call_v earthen_a vessel_n for_o we_o be_v soon_o change_v what_o
of_o a_o true_a christian_a which_o the_o apostle_n s_o paul_n give_v unto_o the_o thessalonian_o the_o first_o &_o the_o 5.16.17.18_o say_n rejoice_v evermore_o pray_v continual_o in_o all_o thing_n give_v thanks_n from_o these_o be_v to_o be_v gather_v many_o profitable_a instruction_n for_o the_o first_o to_o rejoice_v evermore_o it_o be_v not_o a_o indifferent_a thing_n to_o rejoice_v and_o not_o to_o rejoice_v but_o we_o be_v command_v to_o rejoice_v to_o show_v that_o we_o break_v a_o commandment_n if_o we_o rejoice_v not_o but_o here_o god_n command_v to_o rejoice_v as_o though_o some_o man_n do_v not_o rejoice_v enough_o therefore_o you_o must_v understand_v to_o who_o he_o speak_v thus_o in_o the_o psal_n 149.5_o it_o be_v say_v let_v the_o saint_n be_v joyful_a with_o

rejoice_v evermore_o it_o be_v not_o in_o this_o as_o christ_n say_v that_o which_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o i_o say_v unto_o all_o but_o that_o which_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o i_o say_v unto_o all_o solomon_n say_v five_o time_n that_o this_o be_v the_o portion_n of_o man_n under_o the_o sun_n to_o receive_v in_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n with_o thankfulness_n and_o to_o rejoice_v in_o they_o he_o which_o will_v have_v we_o holy_a as_o he_o be_v holy_a will_v have_v we_o joyful_a as_o he_o be_v joyful_a he_o which_o will_v have_v we_o do_v his_o will_n upon_o earth_n as_o the_o angel_n do_v in_o heaven_n will_v have_v we_o rejoice_v upon_o earth_n as_o the_o angel_n rejoice_v in_o heaven_n he_o which_o have_v ordain_v we_o the_o kingdom_n of_o saint_n will_v have_v we_o rejoice_v that_o we_o have_v such_o a_o kingdom_n to_o receive_v therefore_o he_o say_v to_o his_o disciple_n rejoice_v that_o your_o name_n be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o life_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v call_v the_o comforter_n because_o we_o shall_v have_v joy_n in_o it_o i_o will_v send_v you_o the_o comforter_n say_v christ_n to_o show_v that_o they_o which_o have_v the_o spirit_n have_v comfort_n too_o and_o they_o which_o resist_v comfort_n resist_v the_o spirit_n therefore_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v call_v the_o consolation_n of_o israel_n and_o that_o joy_n be_v where_o christ_n be_v as_o the_o light_n be_v where_o the_o sun_n be_v therefore_o the_o chief_a joy_n be_v call_v the_o joy_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o show_v that_o they_o have_v the_o chief_a joy_n that_o have_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o great_a peace_n be_v call_v the_o peace_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n to_o show_v that_o they_o have_v the_o great_a peace_n which_o have_v a_o good_a conscience_n therefore_o the_o faithful_a be_v to_o be_v anoint_v with_o the_o oil_n of_o joy_n esay_n 61.3_o as_o though_o joy_n be_v their_o countenance_n therefore_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v clothe_v with_o the_o garment_n of_o gladness_n as_o though_o gladness_n do_v compass_v they_o like_o a_o garment_n saint_n paul_n in_o all_o his_o epistle_n do_v join_v grace_n and_o peace_n together_o to_o show_v that_o the_o peace_n of_o god_n do_v follow_v they_o which_o have_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n it_o be_v say_v in_o deut._n 30.9_o that_o god_n rejoice_v to_o do_v we_o good_a and_o in_o the_o 28._o deut._n the_o jew_n be_v reproove_v because_o they_o rejoice_v not_o in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n as_o the_o lord_n love_v a_o cheerful_a giver_n so_o he_o love_v a_o cheerful_a seruer_n and_o a_o cheerful_a preacher_n and_o a_o cheerful_a hearer_n and_o a_o cheerful_a worshipper_n as_o david_n say_v let_v we_o sing_v hearty_o unto_o the_o lord_n show_v as_o it_o be_v a_o tune_n which_o

do_v all_o thing_n cheerefu_o therefore_o now_o i_o may_v say_v unto_o those_o which_o resist_v comfort_n and_o nourish_v grief_n as_o the_o prophet_n say_v who_o have_v require_v these_o thing_n of_o you_o god_n do_v require_v no_o sorrow_n but_o the_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n no_o fear_n but_o the_o fear_n to_o sin_n no_o care_n but_o the_o care_n to_o please_v god_n nay_o he_o have_v forbid_v all_o

we_o be_v teach_v to_o discern_v of_o spirit_n and_o doctrine_n so_o we_o must_v discern_v of_o care_n and_o sorrow_n when_o we_o sorrow_n for_o any_o thing_n but_o sin_n our_o sorrow_n be_v murmur_v

the_o next_o duty_n to_o pray_v continual_o after_o rejoice_v continual_o he_o bid_v we_o pray_v continual_o show_v that_o it_o must_v be_v such_o rejoice_v continual_o that_o we_o may_v pray_v
