the_o lord_n will_v condemn_v you_o from_o their_o example_n and_o say_v do_v not_o such_o and_o such_o live_v in_o the_o family_n and_o place_n where_o you_o live_v and_o do_v not_o you_o behold_v

of_o heaven_n for_o they_o have_v christ_n their_o head_n go_v before_o to_o take_v possession_n of_o heaven_n in_o their_o name_n therefore_o they_o have_v a_o right_n to_o heaven_n as_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o citizen_n although_o he_o shall_v travel_v in_o another_o country_n yet_o his_o name_n be_v enrol_v there_o and_o he_o have_v possession_n there_o he_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o

they_o be_v not_o bondslave_n as_o before_o they_o be_v deliver_v from_o bondage_n be_v make_v free_a of_o heaven_n as_o if_o so_o be_v that_o foreigner_n or_o such_o as_o be_v slave_n shall_v come_v

they_o be_v infranchize_v in_o heaven_n and_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o bondage_n of_o the_o law_n sin_n and_o satan_n they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v freeman_n of_o the_o city_n of_o heaven_n five_o all_o the_o saint_n have_v right_a to_o all_o the_o common_a stock_n treasury_n and_o riches_n of_o heaven_n whatsoever_o privilege_n belong_v to_o the_o charter_n of_o heaven_n the_o saint_n have_v

their_o happiness_n confirm_v as_o sure_a as_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n have_v and_o as_o any_o bless_a soul_n in_o abraham_n bosom_n look_v how_o they_o be_v confirm_v in_o a_o happy_a estate_n so_o as_o they_o can_v be_v make_v miserable_a so_o be_v every_o believer_n though_o he_o live_v in_o this_o world_n he_o have_v this_o privilege_n in_o be_v a_o citizen_n of_o heaven_n that_o he_o

privilege_n of_o free-trade_n to_o heaven_n you_o know_v that_o freeman_n in_o the_o city_n have_v privilege_n of_o trade_n more_o than_o foreigner_n have_v foreigner_n be_v fain_o to_o pay_v custom_n and_o double_a tax_n more_o than_o the_o free-citizen_n so_o the_o saint_n they_o have_v the_o privilege_n of_o free-trade_n in_o heaven_n for_o any_o thing_n that_o do_v concern_v they_o they_o have_v a_o freeintercourse_n with_o heaven_n which_o other_o have_v not_o eight_o they_o have_v now_o for_o the_o present_a communion_n with_o the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n there_o be_v communion_n &_o
