for_o the_o better_a handle_n and_o benefit_n of_o your_o memory_n i_o will_v range_v into_o these_o three_o sort_n 1_o the_o death_n of_o guilt_n by_o which_o we_o be_v bind_v o-ove_a to_o eternal_a

separation_n of_o grace_n from_o our_o soul_n 3._o the_o death_n which_o be_v oppose_v to_o the_o lif_n of_o joy_n and_o comfort_n which_o be_v a_o thousand_o time_n more_o terrible_a than_o all_o death_n if_o it_o be_v true_o and_o as_o it_o be_v indeed_o apprehend_v which_o latter_a death_n that_o you_o may_v the_o better_o conceive_v of_o i_o will_v open_v it_o a_o little_a to_o you_o god_n join_v with_o every_o man_n soul_n and_o give_v to_o the_o most_o wicked_a man_n some_o seem_a life_n of_o grace_n and_o some_o colourable_a life_n of_o comfort_n for_o else_o they_o will_v endure_v a_o hell_n here_o upon_o earth_n for_o the_o first_o although_o the_o wicked_a have_v no_o true_a grace_n yet_o they_o have_v a_o shadow_n of_o it_o as_o be_v manifest_a in_o their_o moral_a virtue_n so_o for_o the_o second_o for_o comfort_n they_o have_v some_o although_o no_o true_a comfort_n for_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o comfort_n as_o the_o sun_n be_v of_o light_n which_o all_o both_o

thus_o much_o for_o the_o second_o point_n the_o kind_n of_o this_o death_n 3._o death_n for_o the_o sign_n of_o this_o death_n the_o sign_n of_o it_o may_v be_v take_v from_o they_o of_o the_o
