of_o that_o holy_a plaee_n no_o thing_n or_o person_n that_o be_v defile_v or_o pollute_v shall_v ever_o enter_v there_o and_o certain_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v sweet_a and_o delightful_a be_v it_o a_o thing_n that_o we_o may_v suppose_v possible_a as_o indeed_o it_o be_v not_o that_o here_o we_o can_v have_v communion_n with_o the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o with_o they_o only_o yet_o the_o best_a of_o they_o have_v now_o so_o many_o weakness_n and_o imperfection_n as_o will_v render_v the_o pure_a society_n of_o they_o sometime_o uncomfortable_a for_o here_o be_v in_o their_o imperfect_a state_n they_o must_v be_v bear_v withal_o in_o many_o thing_n for_o they_o be_v still_o man_n subject_a to_o like_a passion_n and_o infirmtiy_n with_o other_o moses_n a_o man_n eminent_a for_o meekness_n so_o that_o there_o be_v none_o like_o he_o on_o earth_n yet_o sometime_o speak_v unadvised_o with_o his_o lip_n job_n a_o patient_a man_n even_o to_o a_o proverb_n yet_o have_v sometime_o his_o fit_n of_o impatience_n and_o discontent_n jonah_n a_o prophet_n of_o the_o lord_n yet_o very_o froward_a and_o peevish_a and_o justify_v his_o passion_n and_o anger_n not_o only_o before_o man_n but_o even_o unto_o the_o face_n of_o god_n himself_o say_v i_o do_v well_o to_o be_v angry_a even_o unto_o the_o death_n yea_o most_o if_o not_o all_o the_o saint_n and_o people_n of_o god_n mention_v in_o scripture_n though_o eminent_a for_o grace_n and_o holiness_n yet_o have_v they_o have_v some_o sin_n some_o infirmity_n or_o other_o record_v of_o they_o that_o it_o may_v be_v know_v they_o be_v man_n yea_o sinful_a man_n also_o as_o well_o as_o saint_n and_o if_o we_o expect_v communion_n with_o any_o while_n we_o be_v here_o that_o be_v not_o sinner_n as_o well_o as_o

heavenly_a creature_n but_o at_o death_n the_o saint_n shall_v know_v their_o old_a friend_n and_o fellow-servant_n and_o then_o those_o heavenly_a and_o triumphant_a chariot_n shall_v carry_v up_o their_o depart_a soul_n with_o shouting_n and_o acclamation_n of_o joy_n into_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n where_o they_o shall_v make_v relation_n of_o the_o strange_a and_o wonderful_a providence_n of_o god_n towards_o they_o while_o they_o be_v here_o and_o join_v together_o in_o the_o high_a praise_n of_o god_n for_o evermore_o in_o this_o world_n the_o sight_n of_o one_o angel_n though_o a_o
