therefore_o first_o what_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o wherein_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o blessedness_n do_v consist_v i_o will_v only_o name_v the_o essential_o of_o it_o that_o your_o apprehension_n may_v be_v right_a and_o forbear_v to_o say_v much_o as_o be_v do_v already_o 1._o the_o first_o thing_n considerable_a in_o our_o everlasting_a blessedness_n will_v be_v our_o personal_a perfection_n of_o the_o whole_a man_n this_o be_v in_o order_n to_o the_o perfection_n of_o our_o everlasting_a operation_n and_o enjoyment_n our_o body_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o flesh_n and_o blood_n nor_o

body_n and_o immortal_a and_o incorruptible_a and_o undefiled_a our_o soul_n will_v be_v perfect_v in_o their_o natural_a perfection_n and_o in_o their_o moral_n they_o shall_v be_v of_o more_o

like_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n 2._o the_o next_o thing_n considerable_a in_o our_o blessedness_n be_v our_o approximation_n or_o approach_n to_o god_n we_o shall_v be_v admit_v into_o the_o holy_a and_o bring_v as_o near_o he_o as_o our_o nature_n be_v capable_a of_o and_o we_o be_v fit_a for_o 3._o moreover_o we_o shall_v be_v member_n of_o the_o new_a jerusalem_n and_o receive_v our_o glory_n

will_v be_v glorify_v on_o we_o as_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o victory_n 5._o and_o we_o shall_v behold_v the_o face_n of_o the_o bless_a god_n and_o see_v his_o wisdom_n and_o power_n and_o glory_n and_o know_v as_o we_o be_v know_v though_o we_o can_v now_o full_o know_v the_o manner_n yet_o in_o that_o sense_n as_o our_o angel_n be_v say_v to_o behold_v the_o face_n of_o god_n mat._n 18._o 10._o we_o also_o shall_v behold_v it_o 6._o we_o shall_v also_o enjoy_v he_o in_o the_o near_a relation_n and_o by_o the_o most_o raise_a vigorous_a affection_n of_o our_o soul_n we_o shall_v be_v

first_o we_o may_v take_v it_o as_o that_o which_o leave_v no_o room_n for_o any_o addition_n that_o all_o this_o will_v be_v everlasting_a leave_v not_o any_o doubt_n or_o fear_n of_o a_o cessation_n abundance_n of_o glorious_a adjunct_n of_o this_o felicity_n may_v be_v mention_v but_o i_o pass_v they_o all_o by_o and_o do_v but_o name_v these_o few_o which_o be_v the_o essential_a constitutive_a

you_o may_v have_v somewhat_o of_o that_o in_o your_o eye_n that_o i_o be_o persuade_v you_o to_o intend_v and_o seek_v and_o the_o rather_o because_o i_o perceive_v that_o many_o of_o the_o godly_a have_v not_o such_o distinct_a apprehension_n of_o the_o constitutive_a part_n of_o this_o felicity_n as_o they_o shall_v have_v but_o much_o wrong_a their_o soul_n and_o god_n himself_o and_o the_o

for_o you_o though_o you_o be_v despise_v and_o persecute_v in_o the_o world_n do_v you_o account_v this_o for_o certainty_n and_o excellency_n to_o be_v worth_a all_o yea_o that_o all_o be_v dross_n and_o dung_n to_o this_o thus_o must_v you_o do_v if_o you_o will_v be_v true_a convert_v for_o all_o such_o be_v heavenly_a in_o their_o mind_n and_o heart_n and_o in_o the_o drift_n of_o all_o

god_n and_o his_o holy_a way_n have_v your_o very_a love_n and_o desire_v and_o delight_n and_o take_v not_o that_o for_o a_o save_a change_n when_o you_o have_v rather_o live_v a_o worldly_a ungodly_a life_n if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o fear_n of_o punishment_n i_o shall_v speak_v but_o little_a of_o this_o because_o i_o touch_v upon_o it_o before_o when_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o christ_n must_v have_v your_o heart_n and_o because_o it_o be_v but_o a_o consectary_n of_o the_o last_o or_o contain_v in_o it_o but_o yet_o i_o think_v it_o best_o to_o present_v it_o here_o distinct_o to_o your_o consideration_n because_o a_o slavish_a kind_n of_o religiousness_n do_v deceive_v so_o many_o and_o because_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n be_v here_o express_v i_o deny_v not_o but_o holy_a fear_n be_v excee_o useful_a to_o we_o even_o a_o fear_n of_o the_o threaten_n and_o judgement_n of_o god_n but_o yet_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o in_o fear_n there_o be_v much_o more_o that_o be_v common_a to_o the_o unsanctified_a then_o there_o be_v in_o love_n desire_v and_o delight_n though_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v the_o beginning_n of_o wisdom_n it_o be_v love_n
