why_o this_o be_v but_o nature_n whereas_o to_o go_v to_o heaven_n it_o be_v necessary_a we_o walk_v in_o a_o supernatural_a path_n much_o contrary_n to_o nature_n wherefore_o sure_o this_o can_v be_v right_o light_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n in_o man_n which_o be_v call_v nature_n one_o reason_n which_o true_o be_v his_o nature_n rule_v all_o his_o action_n as_o he_o be_v man_n and_o distinguish_v he_o from_o beast_n the_o other_o be_v this_o frame_n of_o our_o material_a instrument_n which_o we_o call_v our_o body_n consist_v of_o motion_n of_o blood_n and_o spirit_n which_o have_v a_o course_n in_o we_o so_o depend_v from_o other_o cause_n that_o nevertheless_o a_o great_a part_n be_v in_o our_o power_n of_o these_o two_o nature_n reason_v often_o contradict_v the_o inferior_a and_o therefore_o grace_n and_o our_o supernatural_a way_n must_v do_v the_o same_o whereas_o for_o reason_n grace_n never_o contradict_v it_o but_o guide_v it_o and_o show_v it_o that_o many_o thing_n which_o otherwise_o it_o will_v never_o have_v attain_v to_o be_v very_o reasonable_a and_o by_o force_n of_o reason_n itself_o ought_v to_o be_v enact_v and_o put_v in_o execution_n for_o our_o supernatural_a life_n be_v like_o a_o graft_n which_o though_o it_o bear_v a_o better_a fruit_n than_o the_o stock_n yet_o can_v it_o bring_v forth_o nothing_o but_o by_o mean_n of_o that_o and_o in_o the_o season_n wherein_o the_o stock_n of_o itself_o flourish_v soul_n then_o i_o must_v employ_v my_o time_n in_o gain_v knowledge_n and_o govern_v myself_o according_a to_o it_o but_o what_o shall_v i_o seek_v to_o know_v light_n your_o enquiry_n may_v be_v full_o satisfy_v if_o you_o confine_v your_o search_n to_o these_o two_o head_n to_o learn_v the_o thing_n that_o concern_v you_o in_o the_o next_o life_n which_o be_v chief_o heaven_n and_o hell_n in_o heaven_n i_o comprehend_v all_o that_o belong_v to_o almighty_a god_n as_o well_o to_o his_o godhead_n as_o his_o humanity_n and_o second_o to_o study_v what_o in_o this_o life_n import_v you_o which_o be_v the_o real_a valuation_n of_o those_o motive_n that_o govern_v mankind_n here_o and_o the_o true_a and_o straight_o way_n that_o lead_v to_o bliss_n hereafter_o soul_n sure_o this_o can_v choose_v but_o be_v a_o pleasant_a and_o delightsome_a method_n for_o what_o more_o pleasant_a then_o to_o know_v especial_o such_o truth_n as_o most_o be_v ignorant_a of_o what_o more_o delightsome_a then_o to_o enjoy_v a_o clear_a serenity_n of_o mind_n free_a from_o those_o error_n we_o see_v our_o neighbour_n toss_v and_o turmoil_v in_o but_o above_o all_o what_o can_v be_v so_o ravish_v as_o to_o understand_v we_o be_v in_o the_o direct_a path_n towards_o those_o great_a felicity_n promise_v we_o in_o the_o next_o life_n light_n if_o you_o take_v the_o right_a course_n and_o ply_v it_o diligent_o you_o shall_v instead_o of_o that_o anxious_a and_o troublesome_a way_n you_o walk_v possess_v all_o this_o pleasure_n and_o much_o more_o whereof_o as_o yet_o you_o have_v no_o feel_n nay_o which_o you_o little_o think_v your_o whole_a pursuit_n shall_v be_v after_o pleasure_n and_o those_o the_o high_a this_o life_n can_v afford_v for_o since_o reason_n be_v our_o nature_n which_o have_v the_o great_a stroke_n in_o all_o our_o action_n and_o whatever_n be_v conformable_a to_o nature_n the_o more_o powerful_a nature_n be_v the_o more_o pleasant_a that_o must_v be_v it_o follow_v the_o pleasure_n of_o reason_n be_v great_a far_o than_o those_o of_o sense_n now_o grace_n be_v but_o a_o heighten_v of_o reason_n what_o be_v conformable_a to_o grace_n must_v be_v still_o more_o please_v to_o nature_n soul_n i_o can_v easy_o apprehend_v the_o contemplation_n of_o heaven_n must_v be_v full_a of_o pleasure_n especial_o if_o the_o contemplatour_n find_v in_o himself_o hope_v of_o attain_v thither_o but_o i_o know_v not_o how_o the_o dreadful_a consideration_n of_o hell_n and_o death_n and_o judgement_n shall_v be_v please_v be_v of_o themselves_o such_o frightful_a thing_n light_n as_o for_o those_o fearful_a object_n you_o need_v not_o trouble_v yourself_o yet_o if_o you_o find_v the_o consideration_n of_o heaven_n take_v hold_v of_o your_o soul_n which_o when_o they_o be_v once_o settle_v and_o well_o possess_v of_o your_o heart_n will_v alone_o so_o entertain_v and_o fill_v you_o that_o you_o will_v be_v free_a and_o secure_a from_o the_o irksomeness_n of_o other_o apprehension_n but_o you_o must_v first_o strive_v to_o be_v in_o love_n with_o heaven_n and_o heavenly_a thing_n if_o possible_o you_o can_v soul_n i_o confess_v hitherto_o my_o consideration_n have_v be_v very_o dry_a i_o not_o be_v able_a to_o make_v any_o apprehension_n of_o what_o pleasure_n can_v possible_o be_v find_v where_o all_o that_o give_v we_o content_a here_o will_v be_v want_v the_o second_o discourse_n light_n now_o if_o you_o be_v sure_a to_o find_v there_o the_o same_o pleasure_n you_o enjoy_v here_o in_o this_o only_o change_v that_o what_o ever_o make_v they_o short_a noisome_a tedious_a or_o allay_v they_o here_o with_o any_o other_o discommodity_n be_v not_o there_o to_o be_v find_v so_o that_o the_o pleasure_n be_v there_o more_o clear_a more_o sweet_a perpetual_a and_o never_o cloy_a you_o must_v of_o necessity_n make_v a_o good_a apprehension_n of_o a_o desirable_a place_n and_o lovely_a end_n to_o aim_v at_o soul_n if_o you_o can_v make_v i_o see_v this_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v be_v better_o affect_v to_o heaven_n &_o that_o with_o a_o natural_a tie_n whereas_o now_o i_o force_v myself_o to_o love_v a_o thing_n which_o i_o can_v understand_v what_o it_o be_v light_n well_o then_o do_v you_o take_v pleasure_n in_o company_n of_o friend_n with_o who_o you_o can_v be_v free_a soul_n very_o much_o especial_o if_o their_o discourse_n be_v such_o as_o go_v down_o with_o some_o smartnesse_n and_o delight_n light_n at_o least_o then_o there_o be_v one_o pleasure_n in_o heaven_n which_o you_o can_v relish_v for_o friend_n and_o acquaintance_n you_o can_v want_v there_o all_o that_o be_v in_o heaven_n know_v all_o be_v familiar_a with_o all_o and_o their_o heart_n lie_v open_a to_o all_o so_o that_o what_o delight_v you_o can_v imagine_v in_o conversation_n you_o shall_v have_v there_o a_o thousand_o fold_v multiply_v above_o what_o it_o be_v here_o soul_n but_o that_o which_o please_v i_o here_o be_v to_o be_v with_o a_o friend_n in_o a_o corner_n where_o no_o body_n may_v hear_v our_o discourse_n for_o it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a annoyance_n to_o have_v any_o one_o partaker_n of_o our_o secret_n light_n and_o why_o if_o you_o have_v reflect_v upon_o it_o be_v it_o troublesome_a to_o have_v overhearer_n of_o your_o discourse_n soul_n because_o some_o will_v laugh_v at_o my_o folly_n or_o imperfection_n and_o jeer_v at_o my_o conceit_n different_z from_o they_o other_o will_v carry_v tale_n abroad_o and_o make_v a_o business_n of_o nothing_o other_o be_v indiscreet_a and_o altogether_o unable_a to_o give_v i_o either_o advice_n or_o comfort_n but_o talk_v nonsense_n and_o rather_o trouble_v i_o then_o do_v i_o good_a light_n then_o if_o the_o company_n be_v such_o that_o from_o every_o one_o you_o can_v promise_v yourself_o all_o respect_n love_n prudence_n and_o such_o part_n as_o shall_v be_v fit_a to_o improve_v &_o heighten_v the_o content_a you_o aim_v at_o the_o plurality_n of_o those_o with_o who_o you_o converse_v will_v rather_o strengthen_v your_o pleasure_n than_o any_o way_n diminish_v it_o soul_n it_o be_v true_a but_o i_o can_v conceive_v if_o the_o company_n be_v great_a than_o a_o certain_a proportion_n which_o by_o interchange_n may_v still_o keep_v life_n in_o the_o discourse_n but_o that_o the_o conversation_n must_v either_o be_v hinder_v by_o many_o speak_n at_o once_o or_o dull_a by_o one_o party_n speak_n so_o seldom_o light_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o you_o do_v apprehend_v the_o whole_a multitude_n without_o intermission_n speak_v together_o and_o that_o he_o that_o speak_v perfect_o understand_v all_o the_o rest_n and_o

according_a to_o the_o course_n of_o our_o conversation_n soul_n if_o this_o be_v true_a i_o see_v a_o extreme_a increase_n of_o pleasure_n in_o heaven_n over_o the_o great_a our_o
