A76092	Sick-bed thoughts, upon those words of the apostle in Phil. 1, 23 ... Part. I containing an answer to that great and solemn question, what that state and condition is, which a person must be found in, before he can have good and sufficient ground, not to be affraid, or unwilling to dye? / by J.B.	Batchiler, John, ca. 1615-1674.	1667 (1667)	Wing B1075; ESTC R42879	47,054	145

laert._n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d of_o all_o evil_n death_n be_v the_o most_o formidable_a but_o what_o need_v we_o go_v to_o heathen_a author_n for_o this_o since_o the_o scripture_n itself_o affirm_v it_o whilst_o it_o say_v of_o death_n that_o it_o be_v the_o king_n of_o terror_n job_n 18.14_o but_o second_o i_o answer_v that_o though_o these_o fear_n be_v find_v stir_v and_o disturb_v
