warning_n let_v we_o therefore_o speedy_o seek_v that_o city_n which_o be_v above_o will_v you_o o_o sinner_n get_v a_o title_n to_o this_o habitation_n then_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o sincere_o close_a with_o he_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v purchase_v with_o your_o money_n nor_o procure_v by_o your_o labour_n if_o you_o accept_v of_o jesus_n you_o shall_v free_o receive_v it_o if_o you_o persist_v in_o your_o stubborn_a rejection_n of_o he_o you_o shall_v never_o obtain_v it_o heaven_n be_v a_o purchase_a possession_n christ_n have_v buy_v it_o with_o the_o invaluable_a price_n of_o his_o precious_a blood_n and_o if_o he_o become_v you_o that_o shall_v be_v you_o also_o you_o will_v have_v a_o sure_a title_n to_o it_o which_o can_v never_o be_v lose_v but_o will_v issue_v in_o a_o actual_a possession_n of_o it_o if_o you_o lay_v hold_v of_o christ_n with_o the_o hand_n of_o faith_n while_o you_o live_v you_o may_v secure_o commit_v your_o soul_n into_o his_o hand_n when_o

assurance_n of_o the_o happy_a disposure_n of_o their_o soul_n after_o their_o separation_n from_o their_o body_n this_o be_v not_o unattainable_a by_o they_o this_o will_v not_o be_v unprofitable_a to_o they_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o labour_v after_o it_o and_o a_o attainment_n to_o it_o will_v be_v very_o beneficial_a and_o advantageous_a to_o they_o this_o will_v comfort_v they_o under_o all_o the_o frailty_n and_o infirmity_n the_o perishing_n and_o decay_n of_o their_o outward_a man_n and_o mighty_o sweeten_v all_o the_o trouble_n and_o affliction_n wherewith_o they_o be_v exercise_v during_o their_o continuance_n in_o it_o this_o will_v familiarize_v death_n and_o render_v its_o approach_n welcome_a to_o they_o death_n be_v terrible_a to_o nature_n the_o soul_n be_v natural_o unwilling_a to_o leave_v its_o old_a dwelling-place_n nature_n can_v but_o abhor_v a_o dissolution_n beside_o violent_a pain_n do_v ordinary_o attend_v the_o take_n down_o of_o this_o earthly_a structure_n but_o they_o can_v embrace_v the_o king_n of_o terror_n with_o joy_n and_o holy_a triumph_n who_o be_v able_a to_o say_v with_o the_o apostle_n 2_o tim._n 1.12_o i_o know_v who_o i_o have_v believe_v and_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o keep_v that_o which_o i_o have_v commit_v unto_o he_o against_o that_o day_n we_o ought_v to_o give_v diligence_n to_o make_v our_o call_v and_o election_n sure_a for_o so_o a_o entrance_n shall_v be_v minister_v unto_o we_o abundant_o into_o the_o everlasting_a kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n 2_o pet._n 1.10_o 11._o but_o if_o we_o want_v this_o assurance_n we_o can_v comfortable_o walk_v through_o the_o valley_n of_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n but_o what_o trouble_v will_v possess_v our_o spirit_n if_o when_o our_o soul_n be_v go_v to_o be_v unclothe_v of_o their_o earthly_a house_n we_o know_v not_o whether_o ever_o they_o shall_v be_v clothe_v upon_o with_o a_o house_n which_o be_v from_o heaven_n if_o when_o they_o be_v launch_v into_o eternity_n we_o know_v not_o whether_o they_o be_v enter_v into_o a_o bright_a or_o a_o black_a eternity_n in_o order_n to_o our_o obtain_v this_o assurance_n let_v we_o serious_o and_o diligent_o search_v our_o heart_n and_o try_v our_o way_n put_v forth_o direct_a act_n of_o faith_n upon_o christ_n and_o beg_v of_o god_n to_o shed_v abroad_o his_o love_n in_o our_o heart_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n six_o i_o infer_v what_o vast_a obligation_n believer_n be_v under_o to_o their_o bless_a lord_n how_o high_o be_v they_o oblige_v to_o he_o who_o descend_v from_o his_o imperial_a throne_n tabernacle_v among_o we_o dwell_v in_o a_o house_n of_o clay_n and_o submit_v to_o a_o dissolution_n that_o he_o may_v procure_v for_o they_o a_o eternal_a habitation_n with_o himself_o in_o the_o high_a heaven_n by_o die_v he_o conquer_v death_n so_o as_o to_o render_v it_o a_o bless_a gain_n and_o advantage_n to_o they_o and_o to_o give_v they_o cause_n to_o triumph_v over_o it_o in_o their_o sharp_a encounter_n with_o it_o how_o shall_v we_o love_v and_o live_v to_o that_o bless_a jesus_n through_o who_o we_o be_v more_o than_o conqueror_n over_o our_o last_o enemy_n who_o be_v go_v to_o heaven_n to_o prepare_v a_o place_n for_o we_o and_o will_v receive_v we_o into_o it_o that_o where_o he_o be_v there_o we_o may_v be_v also_o seven_o i_o infer_v that_o a_o believer_n conversation_n ought_v to_o be_v in_o heaven_n shall_v we_o not_o be_v frequent_o conversant_a in_o that_o glorious_a place_n where_o we_o hope_v eternal_o to_o dwell_v see_v we_o be_v stranger_n in_o the_o earth_n we_o shall_v live_v like_o those_o who_o know_v they_o have_v no_o continue_a city_n here_o let_v we_o endeavour_v frequent_o to_o mount_v up_o on_o the_o wing_n of_o our_o thought_n and_o affection_n to_o the_o excellent_a glory_n last_o i_o infer_v that_o the_o saint_n have_v a_o solid_a ground_n of_o comfort_n under_o the_o death_n of_o their_o godly_a relative_n we_o can_v but_o mourn_v to_o see_v those_o structure_n wherein_o we_o take_v pleasure_n lay_v in_o the_o dust_n and_o go_v to_o be_v a_o feast_n for_o worm_n to_o think_v that_o we_o shall_v see_v the_o desire_n of_o our_o eye_n no_o more_o in_o this_o world_n but_o shall_v we_o not_o be_v comfort_v when_o we_o consider_v that_o their_o soul_n be_v go_v into_o a_o far_o better_a habitation_n than_o they_o dwell_v in_o while_n they_o cohabit_v with_o we_o that_o they_o have_v exchange_v our_o embrace_n for_o christ_n that_o they_o be_v now_o triumph_v and_o rejoice_v in_o the_o heavenly_a mansion_n that_o the_o loss_n be_v only_o we_o they_o be_v gainer_n by_o their_o departure_n and_o ever_o long_o we_o shall_v go_v to_o they_o and_o dwell_v with_o they_o for_o evermore_o i_o shall_v conclude_v with_o a_o address_n to_o the_o near_a relation_n of_o our_o decease_a friend_n i_o must_v acknowledge_v your_o loss_n to_o be_v very_o great_a it_o be_v no_o small_a affliction_n to_o be_v deprive_v of_o such_o a_o love_a husband_n and_o indulgent_a father_n yet_o you_o ought_v not_o to_o mourn_v as_o those_o who_o have_v no_o hope_n they_o who_o observe_v his_o conversation_n may_v from_o thence_o take_v knowledge_n that_o he_o have_v be_v with_o jesus_n he_o adorn_v the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n his_o saviour_n he_o be_v a_o burn_a and_o shine_a light_n in_o the_o place_n where_o divine_a providence_n fix_v he_o therefore_o you_o have_v no_o ground_n to_o question_v his_o exchange_n of_o a_o earthly_a for_o a_o heavenly_a habitation_n and_o the_o church_n militant_a for_o the_o triumphant_a assembly_n of_o the_o first-born_a be_v it_o put_v to_o his_o choice_n whether_o he_o will_v stay_v where_o he_o be_v or_o return_v to_o you_o he_o will_v prefer_v the_o former_a to_o the_o latter_a you_o ought_v humble_o and_o silent_o to_o acquiesce_v in_o god_n sovereign_a will_n who_o be_v righteous_a in_o all_o his_o way_n and_o holy_a in_o all_o his_o work_n and_o to_o depend_v upon_o he_o who_o have_v promise_v to_o be_v a_o husband_n to_o the_o widow_n and_o a_o father_n to_o the_o fatherless_a let_v i_o exhort_v his_o child_n to_o a_o imitation_n of_o that_o excellent_a example_n which_o he_o have_v set_v they_o and_o to_o a_o remembrance_n of_o and_o compliance_n with_o those_o wholesome_a instruction_n which_o he_o have_v give_v they_o these_o advantage_n you_o be_v now_o deprive_v of_o but_o a_o serious_a reflection_n upon_o they_o may_v be_v beneficial_a to_o you_o if_o not_o they_o will_v aggravate_v your_o gild_n it_o have_v be_v better_a for_o you_o to_o have_v descend_v from_o a_o turk_n or_o pagan_a than_o from_o such_o a_o eminent_a christian_a as_o your_o decease_a father_n be_v if_o you_o prove_v degenerate_a child_n how_o sad_a will_v it_o be_v if_o he_o who_o put_v up_o so_o many_o prayer_n for_o your_o salvation_n before_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n shall_v testify_v against_o you_o to_o the_o aggravation_n of_o your_o condemnation_n before_o the_o tribunal_n of_o justice_n he_o be_v go_v before_o you_o must_v follow_v after_o how_o soon_o you_o know_v not_o death_n have_v make_v three_o breach_n in_o your_o family_n within_o the_o compass_n of_o a_o few_o year_n and_o shall_v not_o these_o frequent_a warning_n put_v you_o in_o mind_n of_o your_o
