out_o of_o heaven_n no_o not_o one_o hour_n this_o make_v the_o martyr_n so_o willing_a to_o abide_v any_o kind_n of_o death_n that_o tyranny_n can_v devise_v to_o be_v rid_v of_o their_o sinful_a band_n and_o this_o corruptible_a burden_n which_o press_v down_o the_o soul_n that_o look_v after_o christ_n like_o his_o disciple_n when_o he_o ascend_v to_o heaven_n 10._o all_o be_v trouble_v and_o weariness_n and_o vanity_n to_o the_o godly_a mind_n whether_o he_o eat_v or_o drink_v or_o sleep_v he_o count_v it_o a_o servitude_n unto_o the_o flesh_n and_o wish_v with_o david_n to_o be_v rid_v from_o these_o necessity_n so_o the_o knowledge_n and_o love_n of_o god_n make_v a_o man_n forget_v his_o own_o flesh_n make_v he_o despice_fw-la the_o whole_a world_n take_v away_o the_o difference_n from_o life_n and_o death_n change_v his_o nature_n which_o he_o can_v never_o overcome_v and_o teach_v he_o to_o renounce_v his_o dear_a self_n and_o say_v though_o he_o shall_v die_v not_o my_o will_n but_o thy_o will_n be_v do_v all_o this_o appear_v in_o this_o example_n what_o operation_n be_v in_o the_o knowledge_n and_o love_n of_o christ_n it_o make_v the_o world_n irksome_a unto_o paul_n which_o all_o man_n natural_o desire_v it_o make_v death_n pleasant_a unto_o he_o which_o all_o man_n natural_o abhor_v although_o they_o be_v weary_a of_o their_o life_n and_o have_v no_o pleasure_n from_o morning_n to_o night_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o please_v they_o to_o change_v which_o they_o needs_o must_v they_o never_o loathe_v but_o love_v their_o misery_n i_o will_v not_o die_v one_o hour_n to_o live_v for_o ever_o do_v not_o the_o wicked_a themselves_o prophecy_n by_o their_o fear_n of_o death_n a_o worse_a condition_n of_o some_o dreadful_a judgement_n after_o this_o life_n prepare_v for_o sinner_n and_o all_o that_o contemn_v god_n when_o none_o but_o they_o stand_v in_o such_o fear_n of_o death_n why_o do_v one_o wish_n for_o it_o and_o another_o tremble_v to_o hear_v of_o it_o if_o it_o be_v but_o a_o sleep_n no_o man_n will_v fear_v it_o at_o all_o for_o who_o fear_v to_o take_v his_o rest_n when_o the_o night_n approach_v if_o it_o do_v take_v away_o sense_n and_o feeling_n and_o make_v man_n tree_n or_o stone_n no_o man_n will_v fear_v it_o at_o all_o for_o who_o will_v fear_v stroke_n if_o he_o can_v feel_v no_o more_o than_o a_o stone_n or_o who_o will_v care_v for_o any_o thing_n if_o he_o have_v no_o sense_n of_o anything_o will_v any_o man_n tremble_v so_o to_o be_v as_o the_o dead_a creature_n which_o have_v no_o sense_n of_o evil_a they_o must_v needs_o be_v in_o better_a case_n than_o the_o happy_a man_n in_o this_o life_n which_o be_v not_o without_o the_o sense_n of_o evil_a therefore_o this_o fear_n of_o death_n which_o you_o see_v in_o all_o but_o the_o faithful_a do_v presage_v some_o strange_a torment_n some_o heavy_a change_n and_o sharp_a punishment_n to_o those_o man_n which_o they_o begin_v to_o taste_v already_o before_o they_o die_v like_o the_o spirit_n which_o persecute_v saul_n before_o his_o end_n 14._o they_o desire_v not_o to_o be_v dissolve_v but_o they_o fear_v to_o be_v dissolve_v they_o go_v not_o to_o christ_n but_o their_o departure_n be_v a_o everlasting_a departure_n from_o christ_n to_o the_o damn_a to_o the_o devil_n to_o hell_n without_o either_o end_n or_o ease_n or_o patience_n to_o endure_v it_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o no_o man_n be_v willing_a to_o die_v before_o his_o conscience_n be_v quiet_v toward_o god_n and_o that_o he_o can_v catch_v some_o hope_n of_o a_o better_a life_n after_o this_o life_n he_o which_o know_v that_o he_o shall_v go_v to_o christ_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o he_o shall_v die_v unwilling_o but_o he_o which_o can_v not_o hope_v for_o a_o better_a world_n must_v needs_o leave_v this_o world_n grudginglie_o and_o fear_v death_n more_o than_o all_o the_o terror_n of_o life_n he_o have_v rather_o to_o be_v sick_a and_o cold_a and_o hungry_a and_o want_v and_o beg_v then_o go_v with_o death_n because_o he_o know_v what_o he_o suffer_v here_o but_o he_o know_v not_o what_o he_o shall_v suffer_v hereafter_o therefore_o he_o which_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o be_v dissolve_v have_v not_o ●earned_a christ_n yet_o as_o paul_n do_v for_o no_o man_n esteem_v this_o life_n when_o he_o begin_v to_o taste_v of_o the_o next_o 14._o but_o then_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n do_v fall_v from_o he_o like_o the_o mantle_n of_o elias_n when_o he_o be_v rapt_v into_o heaven_n the_o apostle_n have_v see_v many_o good_a thing_n in_o his_o day_n and_o be_v never_o satisfy_v willing_a to_o be_v dissolve_v but_o thirst_v still_o and_o no_o water_n can_v quench_v his_o thirst_n until_o he_o drink_v of_o the_o water_n of_o life_n and_o then_o he_o thirst_v no_o more_o so_o nothing_o can_v fill_v the_o soul_n which_o be_v make_v for_o god_n but_o god_n alone_o riches_n and_o honour_n 29._o &_o pleasure_n do_v not_o make_v simeon_n willing_a to_o die_v but_o the_o sight_n of_o christ_n happy_a be_v the_o eye_n which_o see_v he_o for_o they_o be_v as_o willing_a to_o die_v as_o simeon_n be_v 2d_o so_o soon_o as_o john_n baptist_n do_v see_v our_o saviour_n 11._o and_o know_v that_o it_o be_v he_o he_o debase_v himself_o as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v nobody_o and_o will_v not_o be_v account_v of_o but_o seek_v to_o loose_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o people_n that_o christ_n may_v have_v all_o although_o he_o be_v a_o prophet_n and_o more_o than_o a_o prophet_n and_o not_o a_o great_a among_o the_o son_n of_o woman_n so_o when_o paul_n have_v see_v his_o saviour_n he_o forget_v all_o that_o he_o love_v all_o that_o he_o desire_v and_o all_o that_o he_o possess_v no_o joy_n no_o glory_n no_o life_n now_o but_o to_o die_v all_o thing_n must_v yield_v to_o the_o son_n and_o be_v content_a with_o john_n that_o he_o increase_v and_o we_o decrease_v this_o be_v our_o glory_n and_o life_n that_o he_o live_v in_o glory_n 28._o it_o be_v enough_o say_v jacob_n for_o i_o that_o joseph_n my_o son_n live_v it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o that_o jesus_n our_o saviour_n reign_v if_o the_o head_n be_v crown_v all_o the_o body_n be_v more_o honour_a therefore_o let_v we_o glory_v that_o christ_n be_v glorify_v and_o rejoice_v as_o much_o that_o he_o be_v ascend_v as_o our_o father_n rejoice_v that_o he_o descend_v for_o where_o the_o head_n be_v there_o the_o body_n must_v needs_o be_v i_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v he_o call_v his_o death_n not_o a_o destruction_n but_o a_o dissolution_n for_o three_o cause_n first_o he_o depart_v from_o this_o life_n and_o have_v no_o more_o society_n with_o they_o that_o live_v upon_o the_o earth_n second_o his_o soul_n depart_v from_o the_o body_n until_o the_o day_n of_o resurrection_n than_o she_o find_v she_o own_o body_n again_o and_o they_o rejoice_v like_o friend_n which_o be_v meet_v together_o three_o he_o depart_v from_o this_o vale_n of_o misery_n into_o the_o paradise_n of_o joy_n and_o all_o felicity_n to_o live_v and_o reign_v with_o god_n for_o ever_o in_o assurance_n whereof_o he_o say_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v with_o christ_n so_o that_o death_n be_v the_o way_n to_o christ_n as_o the_o dove_n find_v no_o rest_n until_o she_o come_v to_o the_o ark_n 9_o so_o the_o faithful_a find_v no_o rest_n till_o they_o come_v

word_n wanton_a gesture_n and_o dainty_a fare_n with_o many_o other_o pleasure_n do_v because_v unto_o sin_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o wine_n why_o hang_v the_o bush_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o

shorten_v the_o life_n and_o eat_v the_o flesh_n as_o a_o fire_n consume_v the_o wood_n it_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o strife_n and_o a_o great_a worker_n in_o the_o court_n this_o be_v it_o which_o bring_v labour_n and_o sickness_n and_o death_n into_o the_o world_n even_o the_o envy_n of_o the_o serpent_n and_o the_o devil_n and_o it_o will_v condemn_v thou_o in_o thy_o conscience_n if_o thou_o be_v a_o envious_a man_n nothing_o resemble_v god_n more_o than_o love_n for_o god_n be_v love_n so_o if_o thou_o have_v love_n thou_o resemble_v god_n but_o if_o thou_o have_v envy_n and_o be_v a_o adversary_n thou_o resemble_v the_o devil_n for_o thou_o can_v not_o come_v near_o the_o devil_n any_o way_n than_o to_o be_v envious_a as_o the_o dust_n come_v with_o the_o wind_n so_o the_o devil_n come_v with_o envy_n and_o he_o that_o be_v possess_v with_o envy_n be_v possess_v with_o the_o devil_n why_o do_v the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o three_o chapter_n of_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o colossian_n above_o all_o thing_n put_v on_o love_n because_o love_n be_v best_a of_o all_o why_o do_v he_o call_v love_v the_o band_n of_o perfection_n because_o it_o bind_v all_o virtue_n together_o if_o love_n be_v the_o band_n of_o perfection_n to_o bind_v all_o virtue_n together_o then_o envy_n be_v the_o band_n of_o impiety_n to_o bind_v all_o sin_n together_o therefore_o if_o we_o must_v cast_v off_o all_o but_o love_n we_o must_v cast_v off_o envy_n thou_o can_v not_o come_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o peace_n without_o love_n the_o kingdom_n of_o satan_n be_v at_o peace_n and_o shall_v not_o god_n kingdom_n be_v at_o peace_n shall_v we_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o the_o flesh_n the_o world_n and_o the_o devil_n and_o be_v at_o variance_n with_o god_n and_o at_o strife_n one_o with_o another_o fire_n be_v cruel_a wrath_n be_v rage_v but_o who_o can_v stand_v before_o envy_n proverb_n 27._o and_o if_o none_o can_v stand_v before_o envy_n how_o can_v envy_n stand_v before_o god_n if_o thou_o can_v not_o forgive_v he_o that_o do_v offend_v thou_o thou_o pray_v against_o thyself_o and_o ask_v vengeance_n upon_o thou_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v thou_o not_o to_o let_v the_o sun_n go_v down_o upon_o thy_o wrath_n ephes_n 5._o 26._o charity_n envy_v not_o say_v paul_n therefore_o see_v thou_o have_v charity_n lest_o thou_o be_v count_v a_o envious_a person_n the_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n be_v arm_v with_o horn_n with_o hoof_n with_o tusk_n and_o such_o like_a to_o take_v revenge_n but_o nature_n have_v leave_v nothing_o for_o man_n to_o put_v he_o in_o

envy_v john_n say_v he_o that_o hate_v his_o brother_n be_v a_o manslayer_n and_o love_v not_o god_n neither_o know_v god_n if_o a_o envious_a man_n say_v he_o say_v he_o love_v god_n he_o be_v a_o liar_n because_o he_o hate_v his_o image_n if_o he_o say_v he_o know_v god_n he_o be_v a_o liar_n how_o can_v thou_o love_v god_n and_o hate_v good_a man_n &_o how_o can_v thou_o love_v learning_n when_o thou_o hate_v the_o learned_a so_o do_v the_o envious_a man_n all_o both_o good_a and_o bad_a therefore_o this_o be_v the_o worst_a sin_n because_o it_o come_v near_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n consider_v therefore_o who_o thou_o hate_v even_o thy_o image_n the_o devil_n be_v appoint_v to_o hate_v man_n and_o not_o man_n to_o hate_v man_n and_o if_o thou_o hate_v a_o good_a man_n thou_o hate_v god_n if_o thou_o hate_v a_o evil_a man_n thou_o hate_v one_o like_o thyself_o and_o if_o thou_o hate_v one_o like_o thyself_o thou_o hate_v thy_o own_o soul_n therefore_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v have_v peace_n with_o all_o man_n can_v thou_o not_o hate_v the_o sin_n and_o love_v the_o person_n as_o the_o physician_n hate_v the_o disease_n and_o yet_o love_v the_o

therefore_o paul_n say_v 30._o grieve_v not_o the_o spirit_n show_v that_o the_o spirit_n be_v often_o grieve_a before_o it_o be_v quench_v and_o that_o when_o a_o man_n begin_v to_o grieve_v and_o

religion_n because_o the_o preacher_n do_v not_o agree_v or_o because_o the_o life_n of_o professor_n give_v some_o offence_n therefore_o paul_n show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o they_o
