to_o the_o same_o excess_n of_o riot_n speak_v evil_a of_o you_o let_v we_o therefore_o take_v care_n so_o to_o govern_v ourselves_o that_o our_o conversation_n may_v become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o we_o may_v walk_v worthy_a of_o that_o high_a vocation_n whereunto_o we_o be_v call_v and_o that_o in_o every_o thing_n we_o may_v adorn_v the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o god_n and_o of_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n let_v we_o see_v to_o it_o that_o our_o life_n may_v in_o all_o their_o part_n bear_v some_o proportion_n with_o the_o purity_n and_o tendency_n of_o our_o faith_n the_o doctrine_n we_o own_o and_o profess_v the_o promise_n which_o be_v lay_v before_o we_o for_o our_o encouragement_n the_o example_n our_o bless_a saviour_n himself_o have_v give_v we_o and_o the_o great_a thing_n we_o tell_v the_o world_n we_o expect_v and_o hope_v for_o that_o so_o if_o we_o suffer_v here_o it_o may_v be_v evident_a we_o suffer_v because_o we_o will_v not_o 1st_a be_v conform_v to_o this_o world_n but_o be_v transform_v by_o the_o renew_n of_o our_o mind_n and_o do_v approve_v what_o be_v the_o good_a and_o acceptable_a and_o perfect_a will_n of_o god._n and_o then_o we_o may_v expect_v that_o 5._o as_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n do_v abound_v in_o we_o so_o our_o consolation_n also_o shall_v abound_v by_o christ_n we_o may_v then_o rest_v assure_v that_o our_o present_a suffering_n shall_v be_v recompense_v with_o a_o glory_n which_o shall_v unconceivable_o exceed_v all_o that_o be_v troublesome_a and_o afflict_a in_o what_o we_o sustain_v at_o present_a if_o we_o suffer_v because_o we_o will_v not_o make_v shipwreck_n of_o faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n because_o we_o offer_v unto_o god_n more_o excellent_a sacrifice_n than_o other_o and_o because_o it_o be_v our_o care_n and_o business_n to_o walk_v worthy_a of_o our_o god_n unto_o all_o well-pleasing_a to_o be_v fruitful_a in_o every_o good_a work_n and_o increase_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n we_o may_v certain_o attain_v to_o be_v of_o such_o a_o temper_n as_o the_o apostle_n here_o discover_v in_o the_o text._n we_o may_v arrive_v to_o make_v the_o same_o

reveal_v in_o we_o which_o lead_v i_o to_o the_o second_o point_n i_o take_v notice_n of_o from_o the_o word_n viz._n that_o sincere_a christian_n may_v at_o present_a be_v thorough_o assure_v that_o the_o suffering_n of_o this_o present_a life_n do_v not_o bear_v any_o proportion_n with_o the_o glory_n they_o shall_v be_v recompense_v with_o hereafter_o they_o may_v upon_o a_o due_a weigh_v of_o the_o suffering_n of_o this_o present_a time_n and_o a_o future_a glory_n together_o attain_v such_o a_o full_a conviction_n of_o the_o huge_a advantage_n the_o glory_n they_o shall_v be_v reward_v with_o have_v above_o all_o the_o suffering_n they_o can_v at_o present_a endure_v as_o will_v mighty_o dispose_v they_o to_o bear_v with_o great_a equanimity_n and_o encounter_v with_o wonderful_a fortitude_n all_o the_o uneasy_a and_o frightful_a occurrence_n unto_o which_o they_o can_v be_v expose_v in_o this_o world_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o christ_n and_o on_o the_o account_n of_o their_o religion_n we_o have_v in_o the_o text_n the_o sedate_n and_o deliberate_a judgement_n and_o determination_n of_o one_o who_o be_v as_o thorough_o accomplish_v to_o speak_v to_o this_o point_n as_o any_o mere_a man_n can_v be_v he_o have_v experience_v the_o suffering_n of_o this_o present_a time_n in_o as_o abundant_a measure_n and_o to_o as_o high_a degree_n as_o any_o man_n he_o feel_v all_o the_o smart_n and_o pain_n that_o suffering_n can_v produce_v he_o have_v take_v a_o view_n of_o cruelty_n in_o its_o most_o various_a and_o terrify_a form_n and_o shape_v and_o have_v look_v further_o into_o the_o future_a glory_n than_o any_o pious_a soul_n can_v ordinary_o see_v whilst_o it_o carry_v along_o with_o it_o this_o mortal_a clog_n so_o that_o here_o we_o have_v the_o conclusion_n of_o one_o who_o experimental_o understand_v both_o the_o nature_n and_o extent_n of_o a_o believer_n suffering_n and_o glory_n better_a than_o any_o other_o person_n upon_o earth_n you_o may_v read_v a_o account_n of_o his_o suffering_n in_o 2_o cor._n 11._o 23_o etc._n etc._n and_o you_o may_v guess_v how_o sit_v he_o be_v to_o make_v a_o judgement_n concern_v the_o future_a glory_n from_o what_o he_o himself_o have_v experience_n of_o as_o he_o report_v it_o himself_o in_o 2_o cor._n 12._o 4._o but_o if_o we_o have_v not_o so_o express_v a_o testimony_n concern_v this_o business_n from_o this_o apostle_n yet_o if_o we_o will_v but_o compare_v the_o great_a suffering_n which_o have_v be_v inflict_v on_o sincere_a christian_n in_o any_o age_n of_o the_o world_n or_o the_o great_a suffering_n we_o can_v imagine_v possible_a to_o be_v inflict_v by_o man_n with_o those_o excellent_a account_n the_o scripture_n do_v give_v of_o the_o future_a glory_n and_o withal_o remember_v how_o short_a all_o intelligible_a word_n do_v fall_v of_o express_v and_o describe_v this_o glory_n to_o the_o full_a that_o common_a principle_n of_o reason_n which_o direct_v and_o enable_v we_o to_o judge_n of_o and_o determine_v the_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o inferior_a matter_n when_o present_v to_o our_o consideration_n must_v necessary_o prompt_v we_o to_o conclude_v that_o present_a suffering_n do_v not_o bear_v a_o proportion_n with_o the_o promise_a glory_n if_o we_o compare_v these_o matter_n with_o sedateness_n and_o approve_v ourselves_o impartial_a reason_n itself_o as_o assist_v by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n will_v as_o certain_o direct_v we_o to_o conclude_v for_o the_o future_a glory_n as_o it_o will_v influence_n and_o authorise_v we_o to_o determine_v that_o a_o massy_a mountain_n be_v more_o ponderous_a than_o a_o light_n and_o almost_o imperceptible_a feather_n we_o huge_o wrong_v ourselves_o and_o injure_v the_o interest_n of_o piety_n in_o that_o we_o wave_v the_o due_a compare_v of_o matter_n and_o do_v not_o so_o diligent_o and_o with_o such_o consideration_n as_o become_v we_o set_v the_o encouragement_n we_o have_v to_o virtue_n and_o holiness_n in_o a_o just_a opposition_n to_o whatsoever_o may_v be_v pretend_v a_o discouragement_n thereunto_o do_v we_o compare_v aright_o eternal_a inheritance_n with_o temporal_a occurrence_n and_o the_o uncertain_a unsatisfy_v short-lived_a honour_n pleasure_n etc._n etc._n of_o this_o world_n with_o the_o certain_a constant_a uninterrupted_a endless_a torment_n and_o misery_n of_o the_o next_o world_n we_o shall_v have_v more_o fix_v and_o sound_a judgement_n and_o resolution_n touch_v these_o thing_n than_o we_o ordinary_o have_v and_o if_o the_o common_a principle_n of_o reason_n will_v teach_v we_o to_o make_v such_o a_o determination_n on_o a_o due_a compare_v of_o these_o matter_n together_o how_o much_o more_o will_v our_o mind_n be_v

as_o we_o have_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n to_o assure_v we_o of_o a_o happy_a and_o bless_a eternity_n if_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o suffering_n and_o difficulty_n inconvenience_n and_o
