perfection_n of_o happiness_n which_o be_v the_o sight_n of_o god_n which_o what_o it_o be_v we_o shall_v best_o tell_v when_o we_o come_v to_o it_o i_o must_v now_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o work_n of_o god_n spirit_n in_o your_o devout_a heart_n to_o consider_v more_o large_o and_o sublime_o of_o this_o point_n only_o give_v i_o leave_v by_o way_n of_o conclusion_n to_o appeal_v to_o your_o piety_n wisdom_n and_o experience_n whether_o the_o way_n of_o holiness_n be_v not_o worth_a the_o follow_n which_o end_n in_o such_o happiness_n as_o be_v beyond_o express_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o a_o vanity_n folly_n and_o extreme_a madness_n for_o man_n and_o woman_n that_o be_v build_v for_o eternity_n and_o capable_a of_o the_o high_a good_a so_o much_o to_o neglect_v their_o soul_n their_o god_n and_o their_o happiness_n by_o follow_v their_o sin_n the_o worldly_a pleasure_n profit_n and_o honour_n with_o the_o neglect_n of_o holiness_n the_o devil_n the_o evil_a world_n and_o a_o man_n own_o corrupt_a heart_n will_v allow_v he_o to_o be_v any_o thing_n so_o he_o be_v not_o holy_a let_v he_o be_v rich_a and_o fair_a and_o strong_a and_o great_a and_o honourable_a and_o witty_a and_o eloquent_a and_o civil_a and_o politic_a and_o know_v even_o in_o divine_a mystery_n any_o thing_n so_o as_o he_o be_v not_o holy_a all_o these_o thing_n as_o the_o devil_n say_v to_o christ_n will_v i_o give_v thou_o if_o thou_o will_v be_v unholy_a still_o and_o like_o myself_o holiness_n be_v that_o alone_o the_o devil_n want_v and_o despair_n of_o himself_o and_o that_o he_o most_o envy_v we_o the_o son_n of_o man_n because_o he_o know_v it_o set_v we_o in_o a_o way_n of_o happiness_n so_o infinite_o above_o he_o but_o what_o our_o saviour_n say_v matth._n 8.22_o to_o the_o young_a man_n that_o desire_v respite_n to_o bury_v his_o dead_a father_n let_v the_o dead_a bury_v the_o dead_a but_o follow_v thou_o i_o this_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o say_v to_o all_o you_o that_o hear_v i_o this_o day_n let_v dead_a heart_n bury_v themselves_o in_o dead_a comfort_n dead_a honour_n dead_a pleasure_n dead_a hope_n etc._n etc._n but_o follow_v thou_o christ_n follow_v holiness_n i_o further_o appeal_v to_o the_o justice_n of_o your_o piety_n and_o goodness_n whether_o the_o way_n of_o holiness_n and_o the_o follower_n of_o they_o deserve_v to_o be_v deride_v despise_v discountenance_v and_o discourage_v so_o much_o as_o they_o be_v by_o the_o proud_a profane_a sensual_a and_o superstitious_a mind_n of_o the_o world_n whether_o they_o which_o despise_v holiness_n do_v not_o withal_o despise_v their_o own_o soul_n their_o god_n and_o saviour_n whether_o they_o forsake_v not_o their_o own_o mercy_n who_o follow_v lie_v vanity_n whether_o this_o be_v not_o to_o glory_v in_o our_o shame_n to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o that_o which_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o reasonable_a creature_n last_o i_o appeal_v to_o your_o royal_a wisdom_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o your_o noble_a and_o christian_a prudence_n and_o piety_n whether_o those_o that_o follow_v peace_n and_o holiness_n and_o be_v fit_v to_o a_o capacity_n of_o see_v the_o great_a god_n and_o king_n of_o heaven_n in_o his_o glory_n be_v not_o also_o the_o worthy_a and_o fit_a to_o see_v the_o face_n and_o enjoy_v the_o favour_n of_o christian_a king_n on_o earth_n these_o these_o be_v they_o that_o best_o know_v the_o duty_n honour_n and_o fidelity_n they_o owe_v to_o majesty_n and_o make_v a_o conscience_n to_o pay_v it_o because_o it_o be_v a_o point_n of_o holiness_n so_o to_o do_v these_o be_v the_o propugnacula_fw-la et_fw-la munimenta_fw-la regni_fw-la et_fw-la ecclesiae_fw-la as_o be_v say_v of_o saint_n ambrose_n the_o strength_n honour_n and_o security_n of_o the_o
