Which lines in this excerpt from the play Everyman show that Everyman is reluctant to go with Death and wants to delay the time of his final journey?

To think on thee, it maketh my heart sick,

For all unready is my book of reckoning.

But twelve year and I might have abiding,

My counting book I would make so clear,

That my reckoning I should not need to fear.

Wherefore, Death, I pray thee, for God's mercy,

Spare me till I be provided of remedy.

A.) To think on thee, it maketh my heart sick,

B.) But twelve year and I might have abiding,

C.) Wherefore, Death, I pray thee, for God's mercy,

D.) Spare me till I be provided of remedy.
