the_o day_n of_o the_o end_n of_o this_o world_n as_o also_o i_o hold_v opinion_n and_o certain_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o man_n live_v that_o know_v the_o end_n of_o his_o own_o life_n as_o the_o scripture_n testify_v unless_o he_o be_v instruct_v and_o teach_v from_o above_o by_o some_o singular_a revelation_n and_o therefore_o upon_o this_o certain_a belief_n i_o bold_o affirm_v that_o the_o end_n of_o this_o world_n have_v always_o be_v &_o ever_o be_v altogether_o uncerteine_a and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o mortal_a man_n as_o the_o lord_n say_v to_o know_v the_o time_n and_o the_o season_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v put_v in_o his_o own_o will_n &_o power_n yea_o that_o man_n can_v comprehend_v the_o same_o by_o any_o natural_a knowledge_n as_o the_o truth_n

they_o as_o the_o sorrow_n of_o a_o woman_n in_o travel_n and_o they_o shall_v not_o escape_v by_o which_o word_n we_o be_v warn_v that_o the_o last_o ruin_n and_o end_n of_o this_o world_n shall_v

as_o i_o take_v it_o why_o the_o lord_n do_v exhort_v we_o every_o where_o to_o watch_v because_o that_o as_o great_a no_o man_n be_v certain_a of_o the_o end_n of_o his_o own_o life_n so_o much_o
