latter_a part_n of_o the_o doctrine_n that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o see_v be_v eternal_a there_o be_v christian_n you_o hear_v thing_n eternal_a and_o you_o to_o who_o i_o be_o speak_v of_o these_o thing_n be_v all_o of_o you_o such_o as_o must_v live_v eternal_o among_o thing_n eternal_a the_o continuance_n of_o your_o being_n here_o among_o thing_n see_v may_v be_v different_a from_o each_o other_o some_o may_v be_v long_o other_o short_a but_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v however_o in_o kind_n your_o being_n may_v differ_v infinite_o as_o far_o as_o heaven_n and_o hell_n yet_o in_o duration_n they_o will_v all_o agree_v to_o be_v eternal_a many_o of_o we_o live_v as_o if_o they_o have_v never_o hear_v of_o thing_n eternal_a most_o as_o if_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v any_o such_o thing_n and_o true_o even_o the_o best_a of_o we_o do_v not_o improve_v as_o we_o ought_v the_o knowledge_n of_o thing_n eternal_a now_o my_o exhortation_n to_o you_o all_o be_v that_o you_o will_v serious_o consider_v and_o meditare_fw-la on_o those_o thing_n eternal_a i_o will_v direct_v my_o exhortation_n of_o you_o to_o three_o particular_n for_o your_o meditation_n 1._o meditate_v serious_o on_o eternity_n itself_o which_o be_v the_o interminable_a infinite_a endless_a duration_n of_o a_o be_v eternity_n make_v good_a thing_n infinite_o good_a and_o evil_a thing_n infinite_o evil_a the_o happiness_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n and_o the_o misery_n of_o the_o damn_a in_o hell_n have_v both_o of_o they_o a_o vast_a circumference_n but_o the_o very_a centre_n of_o both_o be_v this_o one_o thing_n eternity_n the_o crown_n of_o glorify_a saint_n and_o the_o chain_n of_o torment_a sinner_n be_v both_o make_v so_o weighty_a by_o this_o incline_n of_o eternity_n the_o mind_n of_o man_n be_v a_o vessel_n too_o narrow_a indeed_o to_o form_v or_o contain_v a_o meditation_n which_o may_v bear_v any_o proportion_n to_o eternity_n yet_o some_o devout_a man_n have_v well_o improve_v their_o meditation_n to_o help_v to_o affect_v we_o with_o the_o thought_n of_o eternity_n one_o discourse_v of_o the_o eternal_a suffering_n of_o the_o damn_a in_o hell_n thus_o represent_v they_o if_o say_v he_o the_o whole_a world_n from_o the_o low_a bottom_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o the_o high_a top_n of_o heaven_n be_v fill_v with_o small_a grain_n of_o sand_n as_o close_o as_o they_o can_v possible_o lie_v together_o and_o every_o thousand_o year_n a_o angel_n shall_v come_v and_o fetch_v away_o one_o of_o they_o until_o the_o whole_a heap_n be_v spend_v if_o then_o the_o prison_n door_n of_o hell_n may_v be_v set_v open_a and_o the_o damn_a set_v at_o liberty_n it_o will_v be_v jowful_a news_n to_o they_o yet_o those_o year_n although_o innumerable_a be_v nothing_o to_o eternity_n another_o thus_o if_o god_n shall_v make_v this_o motion_n to_o the_o damn_a that_o every_o thousand_o year_n they_o shall_v shed_v one_o single_a tear_n all_o which_o shall_v be_v keep_v together_o until_o they_o amount_v to_o the_o quantity_n of_o a_o great_a ocean_n and_o then_o with_o this_o sea_n of_o their_o tear_n he_o will_v quench_v the_o fire_n of_o hell_n and_o their_o torment_n shall_v be_v at_o a_o end_n there_o will_v say_v he_o be_v great_a joy_n in_o hell_n at_o this_o merciful_a motion_n but_o the_o weight_n of_o eternity_n in_o their_o suffering_n press_v they_o down_o every_o day_n low_a and_o low_a with_o inconceivable_a unsupportable_a misery_n o_o eternity_n my_o brethren_n if_o you_o can_v make_v your_o thought_n but_o stick_n
