i_o have_v learn_v that_o i_o have_v here_o no_o abide_v city_n but_o i_o seek_v one_o to_o come_v the_o benefit_n of_o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o text_n be_v many_o 1._o it_o will_v teach_v

a_o abide_a city_n either_o like_o the_o old_a feign_a enchant_a castle_n it_o will_v vanish_v and_o come_v to_o little_a while_o we_o think_v we_o have_v fast_o hold_v of_o it_o or_o else_o we_o must_v leave_v it_o we_o know_v not_o how_o soon_o it_o be_v full_a of_o trouble_n and_o vexation_n when_o we_o enjoy_v it_o and_o very_o unstable_a and_o uncertain_a be_v our_o stay_n in_o it_o 2._o but_o let_v it_o be_v as_o good_a as_o it_o will_v or_o can_v be_v yet_o this_o text_n tell_v of_o a_o city_n that_o be_v better_a worth_n our_o thought_n a_o abide_a city_n a_o city_n that_o can_v

to_o come_v peace_n with_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o the_o hope_n of_o eternal_a life_n it_o be_v true_a while_o we_o be_v in_o this_o city_n that_o continue_v not_o this_o inferior_a world_n god_n almighty_n require_v a_o due_a care_n for_o external_o and_o industry_n in_o our_o employment_n and_o diligence_n in_o our_o calling_n it_o be_v part_n of_o that_o service_n we_o owe_v to_o

shall_v resign_v up_o your_o endeavour_n therein_o to_o the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o almighty_a god_n 3._o it_o will_v remove_v all_o vexatious_a solicitousness_n and_o anxiety_n from_o you_o when_o you_o shall_v have_v such_o consideration_n as_o these_o almighty_a god_n it_o be_v true_a have_v place_v i_o in_o this_o world_n as_o in_o a_o passage_n to_o another_o and_o require_v of_o i_o a_o

or_o labour_n i_o will_v use_v it_o sober_o cheerful_o thankful_o if_o he_o bless_v i_o with_o increase_n or_o great_a plenty_n i_o will_v increase_v my_o humility_n sobriety_n and_o thankfulness_n but_o if_o it_o be_v not_o his_o pleasure_n to_o bless_v i_o with_o plenty_n and_o increase_n his_o will_v be_v do_v i_o have_v enough_o in_o that_o i_o have_v there_o be_v another_o more_o abide_a city_n wherein_o i_o shall_v have_v supply_n without_o want_n or_o fear_n or_o care_n 3._o this_o consideration_n will_v give_v abundance_n of_o quietness_n patience_n tranquillity_n of_o mind_n in_o

nor_o tear_n nor_o fear_n nor_o poverty_n nor_o sorrow_n nor_o want_n nor_o reproach_n i_o will_v therefore_o with_o all_o patience_n cheerfulness_n and_o contentedness_n bear_v whatsoever_o god_n
