Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
2 And as the Seed, unless it die, It is not quickened; So we first die, and afterwards Are raised from the dead.
3 Death doth approach▪ all Men must die, And turn unto the dust; The Grave that is the House for all, And thither go we must.
4 Uncertain is the time of death, 'Tis certain all must die; And certain 'tis when death doth come, Comes in eternity,
5 No Mortal can himself deliver From th' power of the Grave; And as we die, so we are sure Another life to have.
