If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

I know I have a bit of proliferation of projects at the moment but this one is pre-recorded so should be done very quickly.

I have used the author name in the intros which is given in the printed text, but it is a pseudo-Latinization and therefore I couldn't find out anything about the author. The author is Otto Werdmüller, which took me a while to confirm until I found the original book from which this was translated (handwritten!).

Sections:
  • Preface
  • Declaring What Death Is
  • That the Time of Death is Uncertain
  • That It is God Which Hath Laid the Burden of Death Upon Us
  • That God Sendeth Death Because of Sin
  • That God Turneth Death Unto Good
  • That Death in Itself is Grievous to the Body and the Soul
  • That We All Commonly are Afraid of Death
  • The Commodity of Death, When It Delivereth Us from This Short Transitory Time
  • Another Commodity, When Death Delivereth Us from This Miserable
  • Witness That This Life is Miserable
  • That Consideration of Death Beforehand is Profitable to All Virtues
  • In Death We Learn the Right Knowledge of Ourselves and of God, and are Occasioned to Give Ourselves Unto God
  • That the Dead Ceaseth from Sin
  • That the Dead is Delivered from This Vicious World, Having not Only This Advantage, That He Sinneth No More, But Also is Discharged from Other Sins
  • That the Dead Obtaineth Salvation
  • Similitudes, That Death is Wholesome
  • Witness That Death is Wholesome
  • That Death Cannot Be Avoided, Item, of Companions of Them That Die
  • Of Natural Help in Danger of Death
  • That God is Able and Will Help for Christ’s Sake
  • That God Hath Promised His Help and Comfort
  • God Setteth to His Own Helping Hand, in Such Ways and at Such Time, as is Best of All
  • Examples of God's Help
  • That It is Necessary to Prepare for This Journey
  • Provision Concerning Temporal Goods, Children, and Friends, Which Must Be Left Behind
  • Preparation Concerning Ghostly Matters; with What Cogitations the Mind Ought Most to Be Exercised
  • Of Repentance and Sorrow for Sin
  • Of True Faith
  • Of Hope
  • Of the Sacraments
  • Of Prayer
  • The Form of Prayer
  • A Form of Prayer and Thanksgiving
  • That the Prayer is Heard
  • That the Word of God is to Be Practised and Used
  • Amendment of Life Necessary
  • Exhortation Unto Patience
  • The Original and Fruit of Patience
  • That a Man, While He is yet in Health, Ought to Prepare Himself Beforehand
  • That the Foresaid Things Ought by Time, and in Due Season, to Be Taken in Hand
  • How the Sick Ought to Be Spoken Unto, If Need Shall Require
  • Of the Burial, and What is to Be Done Towards Those That are Departed Hence
  • How They Ought to Be Comforted, Whose Dear Friends are Dead
  • That Unto Such as Die It is Profitable to Depart Out of This Life
  • What Profit the Death of Friends Bringeth to Such as are Left Behind Have
  • Companions That Suffer Like Heaviness of Heart
  • Through God’s Help All Heart-Sorrow is Eased
  • We Must Furnish Ourselves with Prayer and Patience
  • Ensamples of Patience in Like Case
  • The Commodity of Patience
  • We Ought So to Love Our Children and Friends, That We May Forsake Them
  • Of the Death of Young Persons in Especial
  • Of the Death of the Aged
  • Of Strange Death
  • An Exhortation Written by the Lady Jane, the Night Before She Suffered, in the End of the New Testament in Greek, which She Sent to Her Sister Lady Katherine

Working on this. It's at Archive, but it's deriving very slowly.
