There be two kind of people which will not sleep: the first be the children which weep and grieve when they shall go to bed, for because they know not the commodities that be in the sleep, they know not that the sleep refresheth a1 mans body, and make th him to forget all the labours which he hath had before: this the children know not, therefore they go with an ill will to bed. The other be […], which be given to great drinking, they care not though they be all night at it, and commonly the sleep doth […] harm, for be maketh them heavy foreheads. So like wise there be two kind of men that feareth death, which death in very deed ought not to be feared: for he is the best physician that ever was, he […] at a clap from all miseries and diseases: therefore he ought not to be […]: but as I told you two kind of men there be that fear him, the children, that is to say they that are childish to god wards, that are ignorant in scripture, that know not what great […] we shall receive at God's hands after this life, but they are all wholly set and bent upon this world: and these are the children that will not go to […], that is to say, that […] death that are […] to go out of this world.

Now when they have heard God's word and believed that same: no doubt all the fear of death will be vanished & gone quite a way. For they shall find in gods word, that death hath lost his strength, that he can not hurt any more. Likewise they that be drunkards, that is to say, that be […] sinners, let them repent here where the time of grace is, let them amend their lives, be sorry for that they, have done: and take heed hence forward, and believe in Christ, to be saved by and thorough his passion.
