of_o that_o holy_a plaee_n no_o thing_n or_o person_n that_o be_v defile_v or_o pollute_v shall_v ever_o enter_v there_o and_o certain_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v sweet_a and_o delightful_a be_v it_o

for_o meekness_n so_o that_o there_o be_v none_o like_o he_o on_o earth_n yet_o sometime_o speak_v unadvised_o with_o his_o lip_n job_n a_o patient_a man_n even_o to_o a_o proverb_n yet_o have_v sometime_o his_o fit_n of_o impatience_n and_o discontent_n jonah_n a_o prophet_n of_o the_o lord_n yet_o very_o froward_a and_o peevish_a and_o justify_v his_o passion_n and_o anger_n not_o only_o before_o man_n but_o even_o unto_o the_o face_n of_o god_n himself_o say_v i_o do_v well_o to_o be_v angry_a even_o unto_o the_o death_n yea_o most_o if_o not_o all_o the_o saint_n and_o people_n of_o god_n mention_v in_o scripture_n though_o eminent_a for_o grace_n and_o holiness_n yet_o have_v they_o have_v some_o sin_n some_o infirmity_n or_o other_o record_v of_o they_o that_o it_o may_v be_v know_v they_o be_v man_n yea_o sinful_a man_n also_o as_o well_o as_o saint_n and_o if_o we_o expect_v communion_n with_o any_o while_n we_o be_v here_o that_o be_v not_o sinner_n as_o well_o as_o

regard_n they_o be_v free_a from_o any_o mixture_n the_o joy_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v always_o mix_v with_o fear_n and_o sorrow_n and_o so_o be_v oftentimes_o the_o joy_n of_o the_o saint_n also_o

for_o when_o a_o believer_n by_o faith_n look_v upon_o christ_n crucify_v and_o consider_v that_o a_o person_n so_o infinite_o great_a and_o glorious_a shall_v die_v such_o a_o painful_a shameful_a

life_n and_o glory_n can_v but_o break_v his_o heart_n with_o godly_a sorrow_n but_o now_o in_o heaven_n the_o joy_n of_o a_o saint_n will_v be_v free_a from_o all_o mixture_n both_o of_o sorrow_n and_o fear_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o sorrow_n for_o present_a trouble_n nor_o any_o fear_n of_o future_a danger_n all_o their_o sorrow_n will_v then_o be_v turn_v into_o joy_n the_o sight_n of_o
