prophet_n esay_n in_o chap._n 61.7_o for_o their_o shame_n they_o shall_v have_v double_a and_o for_o confusion_n they_o shall_v rejoice_v in_o their_o portion_n they_o shall_v inherit_v the_o land_n for_o ever_o and_o everlasting_a joy_n shall_v be_v unto_o they_o mark_v not_o only_o pleasure_n but_o pleasure_n for_o evermore_o not_o only_a joy_n but_o everlasting_a joy_n they_o shall_v not_o

of_o that_o glory_n and_o happiness_n which_o they_o shall_v enjoy_v when_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o receive_v the_o fullness_n of_o it_o in_o their_o father_n kingdom_n but_o yet_o in_o a_o glass_n

this_o heavenly_a subject_n well_o then_o be_v it_o so_o that_o god_n be_v please_v to_o provide_v and_o prepare_v a_o kingdom_n for_o his_o people_n then_o in_o the_o next_o place_n by_o way_n of_o discovery_n this_o will_v serve_v to_o discover_v two_o thing_n to_o we_o concern_v the_o people_n of_o god_n first_o it_o discover_v the_o excellency_n of_o god_n people_n for_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v prepare_v such_o a_o excellent_a kingdom_n for_o his_o people_n and_o account_v they_o worthy_a to_o enjoy_v such_o a_o excellent_a reward_n oh_o than_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v true_a that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v a_o excellent_a people_n and_o that_o they_o be_v wonderful_a high_a in_o god_n esteem_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v crown_v with_o glory_n and_o clothe_v with_o majesty_n in_o a_o heavenly_a kingdom_n oh_o than_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v true_a that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v a_o glorious_a people_n and_o wonderful_a precious_a in_o god_n account_n and_o if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v count_v worthy_a to_o dwell_v in_o his_o presence_n and_o behold_v his_o glory_n than_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v a_o honourable_a people_n and_o wonderful_a famous_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n though_o it_o may_v be_v they_o be_v much_o

though_o they_o be_v much_o reproach_v and_o brand_v with_o shame_n by_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o of_o a_o truth_n there_o be_v none_o in_o the_o world_n so_o glorious_a as_o they_o and_o though_o they_o be_v count_v the_o filth_n and_o the_o offscouring_a of_o the_o world_n by_o ungodly_a people_n yet_o there_o be_v none_o in_o the_o world_n so_o honourable_a as_o they_o for_o pray_v consider_v the_o poor_a and_o mean_a of_o god_n people_n be_v prince_n of_o heaven_n and_o they_o that_o be_v most_o despise_v be_v now_o heir_n of_o a_o glorious_a kingdom_n and_o joint_a heir_n with_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v count_v a_o great_a honour_n and_o dignity_n among_o man_n to_o be_v a_o earthly_a prince_n or_o a_o heir_n to_o a_o earthly_a kingdom_n and_o he_o that_o be_v heir_n to_o a_o earthly_a crown_n be_v count_v a_o excellent_a person_n and_o worthy_a of_o honour_n and_o great_a respect_n but_o the_o mean_a of_o god_n people_n be_v far_o more_o excellent_a than_o he_o for_o they_o be_v all_o the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o the_o live_a god_n and_o heir_n with_o christ_n to_o a_o heavenly_a crown_n and_o kingdom_n and_o they_o be_v so_o lovely_a and_o honourable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n as_o that_o he_o account_v they_o his_o jewel_n and_o esteem_v they_o his_o peculiar_a treasure_n and_o tender_v they_o as_o he_o tender_v the_o apple_n of_o his_o own_o
