you_o no_o good_a and_o if_o this_o argument_n prevail_v to_o get_v off_o your_o heart_n beyond_o thing_n that_o be_v for_o a_o season_n there_o will_v arise_v these_o two_o question_n o_o that_o i_o

that_o after_o a_o little_a time_n the_o body_n of_o man_n may_v be_v dissolve_v and_o so_o their_o soul_n be_v there_o for_o ever_o where_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o world_n be_v that_o be_v his_o expression_n 3._o a_o three_o argument_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v well_o with_o 10._o you_o for_o eternity_n be_v this_o to_o know_v what_o seed_n of_o eternity_n god_n have_v begin_v to_o plant_v in_o your_o heart_n this_o be_v a_o certain_a truth_n there_o be_v no_o soul_n that_o god_n intend_v eternal_a life_n unto_o but_o god_n begin_v eternal_a life_n in_o this_o world_n you_o know_v what_o st._n john_n say_v he_o that_o hate_v his_o brother_n have_v not_o eternal_a life_n abide_v in_o he_o eternal_a life_n be_v begin_v in_o this_o world_n in_o all_o that_o shall_v be_v save_v therefore_o think_v with_o yourselves_o what_o seed_n of_o eternity_n have_v i_o put_v into_o my_o soul_n all_o common_a grace_n and_o moral_a virtue_n be_v not_o a_o seed_n that_o will_v grow_v up_o to_o eternal_a life_n but_o save_v grace_n will_v though_o it_o be_v under_o the_o clod_n for_o the_o present_a it_o will_v grow_v up_o eternity_n four_o examine_v the_o scripture_n look_v into_o the_o book_n of_o god_n and_o see_v whether_o the_o scripture_n speak_v 4._o well_o on_o your_o side_n because_o that_o in_o this_o book_n in_o this_o scripture_n there_o god_n have_v reveal_v the_o eternal_a counsel_n of_o his_o will_n and_o the_o great_a thing_n about_o man_n eternal_a estate_n there_o be_v little_a in_o all_o the_o book_n of_o the_o creature_n the_o book_n of_o creation_n reveal_v of_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n will_v about_o bring_v man_n to_o his_o eternal_a estate_n but_o in_o this_o book_n of_o the_o scripture_n he_o have_v reveal_v his_o will_n concern_v this_o and_o therefore_o confider_v do_v this_o speak_v well_o of_o your_o side_n thus_o by_o these_o portion_n argument_n you_o may_v know_v how_o it_o shall_v be_v with_o you_o for_o eternity_n but_o what_o shall_v we_o do_v to_o get_v a_o portion_n in_o those_o thing_n 2._o that_o shall_v be_v eternal_a first_o labour_v to_o bring_v all_o thing_n in_o subordination_n to_o eternity_n do_v not_o

you_o have_v a_o estate_n increase_a more_o than_o another_o what_o will_v you_o do_v with_o it_o how_o will_v you_o use_v it_o wherein_o do_v you_o count_v the_o good_a of_o it_o to_o consist_v that_o by_o these_o thing_n i_o have_v come_v from_o god_n i_o hope_v to_o make_v use_n of_o they_o to_o fit_v i_o for_o eternal_a mercy_n and_o to_o treasure_n up_o eternal_a mercy_n by_o a_o sanctify_a holy_a use_n of_o these_o thing_n but_o when_o temporal_a thing_n come_v in_o and_o your_o heart_n rest_v upon_o they_o without_o subordination_n to_o eternal_a thing_n this_o be_v infinite_o dangerous_a second_o make_v conscience_n of_o the_o little_a time_n you_o 2._o have_v o_o it_o be_v but_o a_o little_a time_n you_o have_v let_v that_o be_v consecrate_v and_o devote_v to_o

three_o labour_v to_o be_v exact_a in_o all_o that_o you_o do_v for_o 3._o you_o be_v work_v for_o eternity_n as_o zeuxis_n the_o painter_n when_o he_o be_v ask_v why_o he_o be_v so_o accurate_a in_o
