and_o death_n that_o be_v ever_o mindful_a of_o his_o death_n quest_n but_o before_o i_o make_v a_o end_n i_o must_v answer_v one_o question_v five_o z._n whether_o the_o death_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v not_o in_o scripture_n compare_v to_o a_o sleep_n as_o well_o as_o the_o death_n of_o the_o godly_a answ_n i_o answer_v that_o in_o scripture_n wicked_a man_n be_v say_v to_o fall_v asleep_a when_o they_o die_v 28._o 1_o king_n 1st_a 28._o it_o be_v say_v of_o idolatrous_a jeroboam_fw-la that_o he_o sleep_v with_o his_o father_n of_o baasha_n and_o omri_n those_o wicked_a king_n that_o

be_v asleep_a sometime_o have_v no_o benefit_n rest_n nor_o ease_v thereby_o when_o the_o sick_a man_n awake_v he_o be_v many_o time_n more_o sick_a than_o he_o be_v before_o he_o go_v to_o sleep_v some_o man_n be_v much_o disquiet_v in_o their_o sleep_n by_o hideous_a and_o fearful_a dream_n nabuchadnezzar_n when_o he_o be_v asleep_a have_v a_o most_o scare_v dream_n and_o when_o he_o awake_v he_o be_v amaze_v therewith_o so_o it_o be_v with_o a_o wicked_a man_n death_n to_o a_o wicked_a man_n be_v a_o sleep_n but_o it_o be_v a_o terrify_a sleep_n the_o soul_n that_o go_v immediate_o to_o

in_o the_o grave_a asleep_a but_o how_o even_o as_o a_o malefactor_n that_o sleep_v in_o prison_n the_o night_n before_o he_o be_v execute_v but_o when_o he_o awake_v he_o be_v hurry_v and_o drag_v to_o execution_n so_o the_o wicked_a man_n fall_v asleep_a in_o death_n but_o when_o he_o awake_v he_o awake_v to_o everlasting_a damnation_n but_o a_o child_n of_o god_n when_o he_o sleep_v the_o sleep_n of_o death_n he_o sleep_v in_o his_o father_n house_n &_o when_o he_o awake_v he_o awake_v to_o everlasting_a happiness_n use_v 4_o and_o this_o make_v way_n for_o the_o four_o and_o last_o use_v which_o be_v a_o use_n of_o very_o great_a consequence_n and_o it_o be_v to_o beseech_v you_o all_o that_o you_o will_v labour_v so_o to_o live_v that_o when_o you_o fall_v asleep_a you_o may_v

i_o beseech_v you_o labour_v so_o to_o live_v that_o when_o you_o fall_v asleep_a your_o sleep_n may_v be_v a_o happy_a sleep_n unto_o you_o that_o when_o you_o awake_v in_o the_o morning_n of_o the_o
