hand_n the_o peaceable-minded_n christian_n who_o intend_v and_o do_v no_o evil_a neither_o feel_v nor_o fear_v any_o but_o in_o the_o well_o ground_a hope_n of_o another_o world_n free_o enjoy_v this_o nay_o take_v all_o affliction_n not_o only_o patient_o but_o joyful_o too_o not_o bite_v but_o rather_o kiss_v the_o rod_n because_o he_o know_v there_o be_v honey_n at_o the_o end_n of_o it_o and_o that_o these_o light_a affliction_n work_v for_o he_o a_o far_o more_o exceed_a and_o eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n so_o that_o doubtless_o if_o there_o be_v any_o heaven_n upon_o earth_n it_o be_v this_o especial_o too_o when_o the_o practice_n of_o holiness_n accompany_v the_o pursuit_n of_o peace_n and_o the_o man_n have_v learn_v to_o be_v good_a as_o well_o as_o kind_n then_o he_o live_v and_o fare_v well_o yea_o more_fw-it delicious_o every_o day_n than_o the_o rich_a glutton_n himself_o it_o be_v the_o good_a conscience_n only_o that_o make_v the_o merry_a heart_n keep_v a_o continual_a feast_n the_o good_a man_n say_v solomon_n 14.14_o pro._n 14.14_o shall_v be_v satisfy_v from_o himself_o the_o love_a disposition_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o the_o innocence_n of_o his_o life_n afford_v he_o all_o the_o satisfaction_n that_o his_o heart_n can_v wish_v nay_o though_o the_o world_n frown_n and_o man_n and_o devil_n rage_n and_o threaten_v yet_o nothing_o can_v alter_v this_o happy_a state_n this_o be_v a_o joy_n that_o no_o man_n take_v away_o any_o more_o than_o the_o rattle_n of_o a_o storm_n upon_o the_o tile_n can_v put_v a_o end_n to_o the_o mirth_n that_o may_v be_v in_o the_o house_n it_o be_v upon_o this_o account_n that_o job_n resolve_v to_o hold_v fast_o his_o integrity_n and_o not_o let_v it_o go_v my_o heart_n say_v he_o job_n 27.6_o shall_v

with_o his_o own_o folly_n and_o extravagance_n but_o yet_o all_o his_o jollity_n be_v but_o like_o that_o of_o witch_n in_o their_o transportation_n who_o feed_v upon_o nothing_o but_o air_n and_o fancy_n and_o return_v from_o their_o diabolical_a entertainment_n with_o tire_a carcase_n and_o hungry_a belly_n for_o even_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o their_o laughter_n the_o heart_n be_v sorrowful_a and_o sure_o i_o be_o the_o end_n of_o that_o mirth_n be_v heaviness_n whilst_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n the_o good_a man_n be_v not_o behold_v to_o his_o imagination_n only_o for_o his_o entertainment_n but_o be_v real_o full_a and_o well_o like_n and_o have_v this_o advantage_n too_o beyond_o the_o other_o that_o he_o be_v make_v happy_a with_o less_o trouble_n and_o at_o a_o easy_a rate_n than_o the_o other_o be_v make_v miserable_a the_o one_o must_v pass_v through_o a_o cruel_a purgatory_n of_o malice_n and_o wickedness_n before_o he_o can_v get_v to_o hell_n whilst_o the_o

to_o be_v true_a if_o we_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o these_o excellent_a duty_n in_o themselves_o it_o be_v the_o privilege_n which_o the_o true_a christian_a only_o enjoy_v above_o all_o other_o person_n in_o the_o world_n that_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v his_o duty_n be_v both_o his_o interest_n and_o his_o glory_n too_o and_o at_o once_o contribute_v both_o to_o his_o present_a &_o

all_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o so_o many_o jewel_n to_o enrich_v and_o beautify_v a_o crown_n of_o glory_n why_o be_v he_o bid_v to_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n and_o to_o live_v righteous_o and_o sober_o and_o godly_a in_o this_o present_a evil_a world_n but_o only_o that_o thereby_o he_o may_v be_v capable_a of_o a_o inheritance_n among_o those_o that_o be_v thus_o sanctify_v to_o what_o end_n be_v we_o require_v to_o be_v renew_a in_o the_o spirit_n of_o our_o mind_n after_o the_o image_n of_o he_o that_o create_v we_o but_o that_o by_o our_o be_v thus_o like_o he_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o see_v he_o as_o he_o be_v and_o to_o enjoy_v he_o too_o and_o indeed_o what_o be_v that_o happiness_n which_o the_o saint_n enjoy_v in_o heaven_n but_o only_o a_o privilege_n of_o partake_v of_o the_o divine_a nature_n what_o else_o be_v glory_n but_o only_o the_o high_a perfection_n of_o grace_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o do_v but_o consider_v the_o nature_n and_o employment_n of_o just_a man_n make_v perfect_a in_o heaven_n we_o shall_v find_v they_o so_o exact_o transform_v into_o the_o image_n of_o god_n as_o if_o their_o converse_n with_o and_o resemblance_n unto_o he_o make_v up_o the_o happiness_n and_o perfection_n of_o that_o place_n it_o be_v this_o that_o make_v the_o garden_n of_o eden_n a_o pleasant_a paradise_n unto_o adam_n and_o it_o be_v this_o that_o make_v heaven_n itself_o to_o be_v heaven_n to_o the_o saint_n whilst_o they_o be_v here_o on_o earth_n their_o pure_a gold_n have_v some_o dross_n but_o there_o it_o be_v thorough_o refine_v and_o purify_v from_o all_o here_o the_o exact_a holiness_n have_v somewhat_o in_o it_o that_o require_v a_o pardon_n but_o there_o it_o be_v so_o perfect_a that_o it_o want_v none_o which_o innocent_a and_o therefore_o happy_a condition_n must_v necessary_o produce_v a_o everlasting_a peace_n and_o that_o not_o only_o with_o god_n and_o their_o own_o conscience_n but_o with_o all_o the_o world_n beside_o the_o chief_a part_n of_o our_o religion_n consist_v in_o act_n of_o piety_n unto_o god_n and_o charity_n unto_o man_n nay_o such_o stress_n have_v the_o scripture_n lay_v upon_o the_o latter_a as_o without_o it_o whole_o to_o exclude_v the_o former_a by_o this_o say_v our_o saviour_n john_n 13.35_o shall_v all_o man_n know_v that_o you_o be_v my_o

now_o this_o excellent_a grace_n which_o be_v so_o much_o our_o duty_n here_o make_v up_o the_o chief_a part_n of_o our_o happiness_n hereafter_o and_o do_v the_o most_o of_o any_o thing_n else_o
