ravish_a beauty_n of_o truth_n and_o goodness_n which_o be_v too_o dazzle_v for_o mortal_a eye_n where_o our_o will_n shall_v be_v reduce_v to_o a_o sweet_a and_o bless_a composure_n and_o our_o affection_n centre_v and_o unite_v in_o god_n and_o goodness_n and_o fill_v with_o those_o ardour_n of_o which_o we_o be_v not_o now_o capable_a but_o when_o we_o be_v fill_v with_o all_o the_o fullness_n of_o god_n when_o we_o 19_o ephes_n 3._o 19_o shall_v know_v and_o see_v and_o adore_v and_o magnify_v god_n the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o bring_v we_o into_o eternal_a glory_n when_o we_o shall_v be_v pass_v the_o dotage_n of_o this_o present_a life_n and_o shall_v have_v none_o in_o heaven_n but_o god_n when_o 25._o psal_n 73._o 25._o we_o shall_v have_v gather_v up_o the_o wander_a power_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o fix_v they_o upon_o god_n the_o author_n and_o the_o object_n of_o our_o happiness_n then_o shall_v we_o find_v word_n fit_a to_o express_v those_o incomparable_a attainment_n about_o which_o we_o do_v now_o but_o chatter_v and_o give_v imperfect_a account_n of_o as_o child_n do_v when_o they_o talk_v of_o man_n affair_n but_o when_o we_o shall_v be_v with_o the_o lord_n we_o shall_v then_o understand_v the_o happy_a change_n of_o our_o society_n we_o now_o converse_v with_o man_n of_o variable_a temper_n of_o difficult_a passion_n of_o contradict_v interest_n of_o ungovernable_a lust_n so_o that_o a_o solitary_a wilderness_n be_v many_o time_n more_o desirable_a than_o such_o unacceptable_a company_n but_o when_o we_o shall_v be_v with_o the_o lord_n we_o shall_v also_o be_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o just_a man_n make_v perfect_a 23._o heb._n 12._o 23._o with_o man_n refine_v and_o purge_v from_o dregs_o and_o dross_n from_o all_o that_o will_v abate_v of_o the_o purity_n and_o sincerity_n of_o pleasure_n that_o we_o shall_v there_o enjoy_v from_o suitable_a correspondency_n in_o a_o word_n to_o be_v with_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o perfect_o happy_a and_o that_o the_o fore-thought_n of_o a_o end_n may_v not_o disturb_v the_o present_a enjoyment_n we_o shall_v be_v for_o ever_o with_o the_o lord_n we_o shall_v not_o enter_v upon_o possession_n to_o be_v eject_v again_o but_o shall_v receive_v a_o kingdom_n that_o can_v be_v shake_v we_o shall_v find_v a_o treasure_n that_o fail_v not_o a_o last_a glory_n a_o perpetual_a spring_n a_o never-dying_a happiness_n joy_n that_o will_v not_o wither_v or_o decay_v in_o sixty_o or_o eighty_o year_n and_o many_o time_n a_o great_a deal_n soon_o the_o pleasure_n of_o this_o life_n have_v no_o relish_n in_o they_o but_o all_o our_o remain_a day_n be_v evil_a in_o which_o we_o say_v that_o we_o have_v 12._o eccles_n 12._o no_o pleasure_n in_o they_o but_o the_o duration_n of_o the_o happiness_n of_o heaven_n do_v not_o waste_n or_o diminish_v it_o it_o remain_v fresh_a and_o flourish_a and_o full_a of_o satisfaction_n we_o shall_v ever_o be_v with_o the_o lord_n so_o as_o never_o to_o desire_v to_o change_v our_o place_n or_o company_n we_o shall_v never_o be_v weary_a of_o what_o we_o do_v nor_o of_o what_o we_o enjoy_v and_o there_o can_v no_o addition_n be_v make_v to_o this_o happiness_n but_o by_o a_o consideration_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o enjoy_v it_o as_o single_a person_n by_o ourselves_o alone_o but_o all_o holy_a man_n who_o be_v call_v together_o shall_v be_v equal_o in_o his_o presence_n and_o if_o not_o equal_o yet_o full_o as_o happy_a as_o their_o capacity_n will_v admit_v four_o which_o be_v the_o four_o thing_n i_o have_v to_o consider_v from_o these_o word_n so_o shall_v we_o ever_o be_v with_o the_o lord_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d so_o after_o that_o manner_n with_o reference_n to_o what_o be_v before_o say_v we_o which_o be_v alive_a and_o remain_v shall_v be_v catch_v up_o together_o with_o they_o in_o the_o cloud_n to_o meet_v the_o lord_n in_o the_o air_n and_o so_o shall_v we_o ever_o be_v with_o the_o lord_n that_o every_o holy_a man_n and_o woman_n shall_v have_v a_o distinct_a knowledge_n of_o and_o a_o particular_a correspondence_n with_o every_o other_o member_n of_o the_o same_o triumphant_a church_n i_o do_v not_o define_v but_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o knowledge_n of_o and_o converse_v with_o one_o another_o we_o may_v very_o reasonable_o believe_v when_o we_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o our_o comfort_n and_o content_v now_o to_o enjoy_v the_o society_n of_o our_o friend_n and_o it_o can_v be_v think_v that_o that_o bless_a company_n will_v derogate_v from_o but_o will_v rather_o add_v to_o each_o other_o happiness_n to_o the_o torment_n of_o wicked_a man_n they_o shall_v see_v who_o be_v admit_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n there_o shall_v be_v weep_v and_o 28._o luke_n 13._o 28._o gnash_n of_o tooth_n when_o you_o shall_v see_v abraham_n and_o isaac_n and_o jacob_n and_o all_o the_o prophet_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o you_o yourselves_o thrust_v out_o and_o why_o shall_v it_o be_v difficult_a to_o believe_v that_o they_o who_o be_v there_o shall_v see_v and_o know_v one_o another_o and_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o same_o place_n and_o they_o shall_v come_v from_o the_o east_n and_o 29._o verse_n 29._o from_o the_o west_n and_o from_o the_o north_n and_o from_o the_o south_n and_o shall_v sit_v down_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n in_o the_o verse_n of_o my_o text_n it_o be_v say_v they_o shall_v meet_v together_o they_o shall_v all_o meet_v the_o same_o lord_n and_o partake_v of_o the_o same_o happiness_n and_o join_v in_o the_o same_o song_n of_o praise_n and_o triumph_n and_o who_o can_v think_v when_o they_o be_v call_v together_o to_o meet_v their_o lord_n that_o they_o shall_v then_o be_v separate_v and_o know_v nothing_o of_o one_o another_o particular_a state_n no_o sure_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n will_v be_v perfect_v in_o heaven_n so_o shall_v we_o ever_o be_v with_o the_o lord_n so_o in_o company_n and_o consort_n so_o as_o to_o be_v together_o love_v one_o to_o another_o as_o well_o as_o love_a god_n and_o make_v accession_n to_o each_o other_o happiness_n by_o be_v so_o far_o ever_o with_o the_o lord_n from_o this_o account_n of_o these_o word_n i_o may_v make_v divers_a inference_n i_o take_v up_o with_o three_o 1._o if_o holy_a man_n shall_v be_v thus_o for_o ever_o with_o the_o lord_n then_o we_o may_v be_v content_a to_o wait_v with_o patience_n for_o a_o complete_a happiness_n till_o that_o day_n come_v if_o it_o please_v god_n to_o exercise_v we_o with_o sorrow_n and_o trouble_n in_o this_o life_n we_o must_v remember_v it_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n to_o which_o 22._o act_n 14._o 22._o we_o be_v pass_v through_o these_o many_o tribulation_n all_o the_o affliction_n of_o this_o life_n can_v make_v we_o thorough_o miserable_a not_o final_o miserable_a we_o be_v able_a to_o see_v through_o they_o to_o what_o be_v reserve_v in_o the_o heaven_n for_o we_o when_o we_o be_v for_o ever_o with_o the_o lord_n we_o shall_v never_o be_v divert_v or_o disturb_v or_o call_v off_o from_o the_o continual_a enjoyment_n of_o that_o fullness_n of_o joy_n we_o can_v be_v for_o ever_o miserable_a affliction_n be_v but_o for_o a_o while_n and_o in_o comparison_n of_o eternity_n they_o endure_v but_o for_o a_o moment_n but_o when_o all_o these_o cloud_n be_v blow_v over_o then_o at_o the_o morning_n of_o the_o resurrection_n there_o will_v open_v upon_o we_o a_o glory_n bright_a than_o the_o noonday_n sun_n a_o glory_n that_o will_v never_o set_v or_o fade_v because_o our_o lord_n will_v one_o day_n take_v we_o to_o be_v so_o near_o himself_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v well_o content_a whilst_o we_o be_v here_o in_o the_o body_n to_o be_v exercise_v as_o it_o shall_v please_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n 2._o we_o shall_v ever_o be_v with_o the_o lord_n but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o portion_n of_o all_o man_n as_o have_v be_v already_o say_v and_o beside_o the_o concur_v testimony_n of_o the_o whole_a scripture_n the_o next_o epistle_n tell_v we_o what_o will_v become_v of_o wicked_a man_n at_o the_o second_o come_v of_o christ_n wherefore_o this_o exhortation_n have_v here_o a_o proper_a place_n that_o we_o will_v so_o live_v now_o as_o that_o we_o may_v hereafter_o be_v for_o ever_o with_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o i_o express_v in_o the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n if_o any_o man_n 26._o john_n 12._o 26._o serve_v i_o let_v he_o follow_v i_o and_o where_o i_o be_o there_o shall_v also_o my_o servant_n
