time_n of_o their_o prosperity_n and_o good_a health_n may_v learn_v how_o to_o use_v and_o behave_v they_o self_n and_o learn_v in_o time_n to_o die_v for_o nothing_o be_v more_o certain_a than_o

to_o take_v this_o journey_n in_o hand_n and_o go_v forward_o whereby_o he_o may_v be_v careful_a for_o that_o that_o will_v necessary_o follow_v but_o special_o ought_v we_o to_o remember_v these_o

turk_n which_o if_o he_o have_v the_o victory_n spare_v no_o man_n but_o without_o all_o mercy_n hew_v down_o the_o miserable_a christian_n strike_v they_o and_o shoot_v they_o through_o where_o

he_o be_v not_o before_o well_o prepare_v and_o exercise_v in_o god_n word_n so_o that_o this_o soldier_n must_v fight_v with_o his_o body_n against_o the_o turk_n and_o with_o his_o soul_n against_o the_o devil_n himself_o howbeit_o this_o shall_v be_v their_o comfort_n out_o of_o the_o prophet_n daniel_n the_o 7._o 7._o chapter_n that_o these_o murderer_n of_o christian_n &_o bloodhound_n do_v only_o by_o this_o mean_n prepare_v christian_a soul_n and_o do_v further_o they_o to_o everlasting_a life_n for_o he_o set_v himself_o with_o all_o his_o might_n in_o great_a force_n against_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n and_o chief_o war_v against_o they_o wherefore_o without_o all_o question_n when_o so_o ever_o a_o christian_a man_n be_v slay_v and_o overcome_v by_o the_o turk_n yet_o die_v he_o with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n in_o that_o that_o he_o be_v a_o christian_n for_o he_o see_v that_o this_o war_n be_v against_o the_o saint_n of_o god_o without_o cause_n for_o the_o turk_n have_v no_o lawful_a occasion_n to_o fight_v against_o the_o christian_n and_o so_o miserable_o to_o spill_v christian_a blood_n thus_o therefore_o die_v they_o so_o much_o the_o ioyfull_a see_v they_o go_v forth_o in_o the_o obedience_n of_o their_o superior_n and_o do_v not_o only_o defend_v their_o own_o country_n and_o people_n but_o also_o with_o their_o own_o blood_n help_v to_o preserve_v christian_a religion_n therefore_o good_a christian_a learn_v in_o time_n to_o die_v for_o thou_o know_v neither_o time_n nor_o hour_n neither_o place_n nor_o manner_n when_o how_o either_o what_o

learn_v this_o cunning_n while_o thou_o have_v time_n memory_n and_o opportunity_n thereunto_o then_o shall_v you_o go_v the_o sure_a way_n see_v the_o day_n must_v needs_o come_v yield_v thyself_o

howbeit_o no_o man_n be_v to_o be_v tie_v and_o bind_v to_o use_v every_o matter_n as_o it_o be_v herein_o contain_v but_o if_o any_o other_o can_v or_o have_v better_o much_o good_a do_v it_o they_o for_o i_o have_v here_o remember_v certain_a temptation_n wherein_o i_o myself_o like_o a_o poor_a simple_a plain_a man_n have_v be_v tempt_v and_o assault_v with_o and_o have_v experience_v if_o i_o

the_o last_o our_o lord_n god_o by_o his_o great_a power_n revive_v i_o wherefore_o i_o give_v unto_o he_o everlasting_a praise_n and_o thanks_n in_o christ_n our_o lord_n i_o will_v not_o say_v that_o in_o my_o day_n i_o have_v go_v to_o many_o christian_a people_n i_o have_v comfort_v they_o and_o have_v be_v at_o their_o end_n who_o name_n be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o life_n where_o i_o have_v experience_v diverse_a and_o many_o temptation_n god_o grant_v both_o thou_o &_o i_o his_o godly_a grace_n that_o we_o may_v also_o bless_o sleep_v at_o the_o last_o in_o christ_n our_o

by_o the_o magistrate_n iudg_v to_o die_v first_o well-beloved_a almighty_a god_n give_v you_o his_o grace_n and_o true_a patience_n whereby_o you_o may_v bear_v and_o patient_o suffer_v this_o your_o deserve_a cross_n lay_v upon_o you_o see_v the_o matter_n be_v come_v thus_o far_o with_o you_o that_o god_n judgement_n and_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o magistrate_n be_v fall_v upon_o you_o yield_v yourself_o willing_o thereunto_o and_o think_v that_o this_o correction_n come_v from_o god_n himself_o therefore_o refuse_v not_o the_o correction_n of_o the_o almighty_a as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o job_n the_o 5._o 5._o see_v then_o that_o every_o man_n judgement_n come_v from_o god_n our_o lord_n as_o it_o be_v in_o solomon_n the_o 29._o of_o his_o proverb_n 29._o receive_v such_o judgement_n and_o punishment_n up_o from_o our_o lord_n god_n as_o a_o fatherly_a correction_n as_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n witness_v chapter_n 12._o where_o the_o text_n say_v thus_o 12._o my_o son_n make_v not_o light_a of_o the_o correction_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o despair_v not_o when_o thou_o be_v punish_v by_o he_o for_o the_o lord_n do_v correct_v he_o who_o he_o love_v and_o he_o beat_v every_o son_n which_o he_o take_v to_o himself_o and_o so_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v 8._o as_o solomon_n say_v in_o his_o high_a song_n the_o 8._o chapter_n that_o the_o love_n which_o the_o lord_n bear_v we_o be_v as_o strong_a as_o death_n it_o appear_v unto_o the_o world_n as_o though_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v very_a misfortune_n death_n and_o destruction_n howbeit_o there_o be_v under_o such_o love_n great_a mercy_n goodness_n life_n and_o blessedness_n hide_v for_o if_o we_o be_v judge_v we_o be_v correct_v by_o the_o lord_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o we_o

to_o behold_v that_o you_o under_o punishment_n may_v see_v grace_n under_o correction_n peace_n and_o under_o death_n life_n thus_o shall_v not_o this_o cross_n lay_v upon_o you_o be_v very_o sore_a and_o fearful_a but_o you_o may_v bear_v it_o and_o you_o also_o shall_v patient_o suffer_v it_o for_o god_n can_v soon_o end_v this_o cross_n that_o you_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o carry_v it_o for_o as_o much_o then_o as_o god_n our_o lord_n have_v appoint_v to_o every_o man_n a_o certain_a end_n of_o his_o life_n which_o he_o shall_v not_o pass_v job._n 14._o 14._o think_v you_o now_o that_o

therefore_o after_o what_o manner_n you_o have_v take_v your_o life_n from_o god_n and_o that_o you_o shall_v so_o soon_o deliver_v it_o he_o again_o but_o set_v your_o will_n to_o god_n will_v and_o

through_o it_o to_o everlasting_a life_n amen_n secondary_o for_o as_o much_o as_o you_o have_v now_o hear_v that_o this_o cross_n and_o punishment_n come_v from_o god_n himself_o and_o be_v lay_v upon_o you_o by_o god_n through_o a_o ordinary_a magistrate_n you_o shall_v understand_v now_o further_o well_o learn_v to_o know_v the_o great_a and_o earnest_a anger_n of_o god_n over_o sin_n for_o it_o be_v no_o small_a matter_n before_o god_n when_o a_o man_n behave_v himself_o contrary_a to_o god_n law_n and_o continual_o without_o cease_v offend_v and_o provoke_v god_n with_o his_o

well-beloved_a that_o you_o do_v persuade_v yourself_o as_o though_o god_n himself_o be_v against_o you_o and_o be_v angry_a with_o you_o by_o reason_n of_o forepast_a sin_n yet_o you_o shall_v not_o

lay_v hand_n on_o they_o punish_v they_o and_o utter_o condemn_v they_o therefore_o see_v god_n first_o will_v make_v you_o to_o live_v he_o will_v before_o humble_v you_o &_o see_v he_o will_v
