It pleaseth the most righteous, and y•…•…t pa∣tient God to warne and summon, to try and arraigne the universall race of Adams sonnes (commonly) upon Beds of sicknesse before he proceed to execution of Death and Judge∣ment: Blessed those soules which prevent Judgement, Death and sicknesse to, and be∣fore the evill dayes come, Arraigne, and Judge themselves and being sick for Love to Christ, find him or seek him in his Ordi∣nances below, and get unfained Assurance of Fternall enjoyment of Him, when they are here no more.
descriptionPage 192
More particular:
One step twix't Me and Death, (twas Davids speech,)And true of sick Folks all:Line 1 Mans Leafe it fades, his Clay house cracks;Before it's dreadfull Fall.
Like Grashopper the Indian leapes,Till blasts of sicknesse rise:Line 2 Nor soule nor Body Physick hath,Then Soule and Body dies.
O happy English who for both,Have precious physicks store:How should (when Christ hath both refresh't,Thy Love and zeale be more?
