by_o hear-say_n they_o hear_v minister_n speak_v of_o heaven_n and_o read_v it_o in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o they_o know_v it_o in_o themselves_o they_o know_v it_o by_o what_o god_n have_v

a_o better_a and_o endure_v substance_n eternal_a life_n be_v begin_v already_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o saint_n there_o be_v heaven_n already_o in_o the_o saint_n and_o therefore_o no_o marvel_n though_o their_o conversation_n be_v in_o heaven_n the_o four_o reason_n god_n have_v so_o order_v thing_n in_o this_o world_n on_o purpose_n that_o he_o may_v wean_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o saint_n from_o the_o world_n the_o lord_n love_v to_o have_v the_o heart_n of_o his_o saint_n to_o be_v in_o heaven_n where_o he_o have_v treasure_v up_o such_o glorious_a thing_n for_o they_o and_o because_o that_o the_o saint_n while_o they_o be_v here_o in_o the_o world_n &_o have_v so_o much_o of_o the_o world_n in_o they_o they_o will_v feign_v be_v live_v here_o in_o the_o world_n therefore_o god_n

be_v the_o reason_n why_o god_n people_n have_v meet_v with_o such_o cross_n in_o the_o world_n why_o the_o lord_n have_v keep_v his_o saint_n so_o low_a and_o mean_a in_o the_o world_n it_o may_v be_v you_o be_v ready_a to_o draw_v ill_a conclusion_n from_o thence_o and_o to_o think_v i_o be_o afraid_a god_n do_v not_o love_v i_o that_o he_o keep_v i_o so_o low_a and_o mean_a and_o i_o meet_v with_o such_o cross_n and_o other_o do_v not_o oh_o gather_v not_o such_o ill_a conclusion_n as_o these_o be_v it_o be_v because_o he_o will_v gather_v your_o heart_n to_o heaven_n and_o wean_v you_o

that_o be_v a_o hundred_o time_n big_a than_o that_o be_v so_o it_o be_v with_o many_o hypocrite_n they_o have_v a_o great_a show_n of_o religion_n than_o many_o that_o have_v truth_n of_o godliness_n and_o that_o be_v true_o gracious_a they_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o wonder_v at_o the_o excellent_a part_n that_o they_o have_v excellent_a ability_n it_o may_v be_v they_o will_v discourse_v

for_o the_o earth_n to_o fall_v down_o low_a than_o it_o be_v for_o the_o fire_n and_o air_n to_o ascend_v up_o high_a because_o every_o creature_n do_v move_v towards_o the_o centre_n of_o it_o
