there_o be_v between_o light_n and_o darkness_n and_o from_o hence_o it_o come_v that_o by_o how_o much_o the_o more_o our_o soul_n be_v clog_v and_o encumber_v with_o they_o by_o so_o much_o be_v this_o image_n of_o god_n within_o we_o impair_v and_o deface_v and_o therefore_o the_o friendship_n of_o this_o world_n be_v say_v to_o be_v enmity_n with_o god_n because_o every_o approach_n which_o we_o make_v to_o that_o set_v we_o at_o a_o great_a distance_n from_o he_o and_o make_v we_o more_o unlike_o he_o than_o we_o be_v before_o a_o resemblance_n therefore_o of_o god_n be_v the_o true_a standard_n of_o worth_n and_o excellency_n the_o soul_n of_o man_n which_o have_v so_o large_a a_o share_n of_o it_o must_v be_v infinite_o preferable_a to_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n which_o have_v no_o manner_n of_o affinity_n with_o he_o but_o 2_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v most_o high_o valuable_a upon_o the_o account_n of_o its_o durableness_n and_o continuance_n every_o thing_n that_o be_v true_o desirable_a and_o estimable_a in_o itsself_n receive_v a_o great_a addition_n of_o value_n and_o esteem_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o its_o be_v permanent_a and_o last_a but_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n enjoy_v this_o advantage_n in_o a_o most_o eminent_a degree_n eternity_n alone_o can_v be_v the_o measure_n of_o its_o continuance_n and_o time_n which_o shall_v destroy_v all_o other_o thing_n can_v make_v no_o conquest_n over_o this_o the_o body_n must_v die_v and_o return_v unto_o its_o earth_n but_o over_o the_o soul_n death_n have_v no_o dominion_n that_o have_v a_o be_v immortal_a and_o eternal_a and_o shall_v rise_v like_o a_o phoenix_n out_o of_o the_o funeral_n pile_n more_o lively_a and_o vigorous_a than_o it_o be_v before_o then_o as_o time_n can_v never_o put_v a_o end_n to_o its_o be_v so_o neither_o can_v it_o impair_v its_o power_n and_o ability_n that_o which_o can_v never_o die_v can_v never_o grow_v old_a since_o every_o least_o degree_n of_o fade_a and_o decay_v be_v a_o sign_n and_o symptom_n of_o a_o final_a dissolution_n the_o soul_n of_o man_n therefore_o shall_v not_o only_o enjoy_v a_o perpetual_a duration_n but_o its_o faculty_n and_o operation_n shall_v remain_v in_o their_o full_a vigour_n and_o be_v active_a and_o lively_a to_o all_o eternity_n but_o if_o the_o reasonable_a soul_n enjoy_v this_o advantage_n in_o its_o most_o absolute_a perfection_n the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n be_v whole_o destitute_a of_o so_o considerable_a a_o recommendation_n all_o the_o pleasure_n and_o advantage_n which_o it_o can_v propose_v be_v momentary_a and_o transient_a fickle_a and_o uncertain_a feeble_a and_o languish_a honour_n be_v but_o a_o blast_n which_o depend_v upon_o the_o giddy_a humour_n of_o other_o people_n pleasure_n be_v but_o a_o dream_n which_o soon_o pass_v away_o riches_n make_v themselves_o wing_n that_o they_o may_v be_v go_v from_o we_o or_o if_o any_o of_o these_o continue_v some_o time_n with_o we_o they_o pall_v upon_o our_o hand_n grow_v flatter_v and_o more_o insipid_a suppose_v they_o accompany_v we_o to_o the_o end_n of_o our_o life_n yet_o there_o at_o least_o we_o must_v take_v our_o leave_n of_o they_o and_o there_o will_v be_v no_o more_o remembrance_n of_o they_o within_o the_o land_n wherein_o all_o thing_n be_v forget_v they_o be_v the_o companion_n of_o this_o earthly_a tabernacle_n and_o have_v their_o sole_a dependence_n upon_o it_o and_o therefore_o must_v drop_v off_o when_o that_o fall_v away_o the_o time_n of_o their_o continuance_n be_v seldom_o a_o span_n long_o but_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o it_o can_v be_v no_o long_o and_o there_o be_v therefore_o as_o much_o difference_n between_o the_o true_a value_n of_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n and_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n as_o there_o be_v between_o the_o day_n of_o a_o man_n life_n and_o the_o year_n of_o eternity_n but_o 3_o the_o reasonable_a soul_n be_v high_o valuable_a upon_o the_o account_n of_o its_o self-sufficiency_n we_o be_v teach_v by_o right_a reason_n to_o place_v our_o high_a esteem_n upon_o such_o object_n as_o contain_v within_o themselves_o the_o most_o considerable_a advantage_n independent_o from_o other_o and_o without_o be_v force_v to_o seek_v for_o they_o abroad_o but_o such_o as_o this_o be_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n it_o have_v all_o within_o itself_o that_o be_v necessary_a or_o expedient_a to_o advance_v its_o true_a interest_n and_o satisfaction_n it_o be_v but_o direct_v its_o contemplation_n to_o a_o right_a object_n but_o fix_v the_o thought_n upon_o a_o worthy_a entertainment_n and_o it_o be_v at_o all_o time_n secure_a of_o such_o a_o employment_n as_o be_v at_o once_o both_o profitable_a and_o delightful_a if_o any_o thing_n from_o without_o do_v ruffle_v or_o discompose_v it_o it_o be_v but_o retire_v within_o itself_o and_o it_o be_v beyond_o the_o reach_n of_o all_o outward_a inconvenience_n nothing_o can_v deprive_v it_o of_o a_o true_a satisfaction_n if_o it_o take_v care_n to_o preserve_v a_o unspotted_a innocence_n and_o it_o need_v not_o be_v behold_v to_o any_o thing_n but_o itsself_n for_o the_o most_o refine_a pleasure_n and_o the_o most_o precious_a advantage_n but_o how_o precarious_a on_o the_o other_o side_n and_o how_o absolute_o dependent_a upon_o something_o else_o to_o set_v they_o off_o be_v all_o the_o seem_a convenience_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n they_o have_v nothing_o real_a and_o substantial_a to_o recommend_v they_o and_o be_v therefore_o force_v to_o court_v the_o sense_n and_o debauch_v they_o first_o that_o by_o they_o they_o may_v afterward_o corrupt_v the_o soul_n they_o must_v flatter_v the_o body_n and_o sly_o insinuate_v themselves_o into_o the_o favour_n of_o that_o before_o they_o expose_v themselves_o to_o the_o scrutiny_n of_o the_o understanding_n or_o undergo_v the_o test_n of_o a_o due_a examination_n their_o value_n be_v found_v upon_o fancy_n and_o opinion_n and_o they_o be_v oblige_v for_o their_o welcome_n and_o entertainment_n rather_o to_o the_o mistake_a conception_n of_o other_o than_o to_o any_o real_a worth_n within_o themselves_o they_o can_v at_o all_o administer_v satisfaction_n but_o as_o juggler_n play_v their_o trick_n by_o the_o confederacy_n of_o other_o if_o the_o sense_n be_v out_o of_o humour_n the_o world_n can_v delight_v we_o if_o the_o body_n be_v indispose_v the_o world_n can_v divert_v we_o nay_o if_o the_o soul_n be_v but_o otherwise_o addict_v and_o do_v not_o play_v booty_n against_o itself_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n can_v contribute_v nothing_o to_o our_o delight_n but_o it_o be_v sweet_a entertainment_n will_v be_v gall_n and_o bitterness_n how_o vast_o more_o considerable_a than_o must_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v which_o be_v always_o possess_v of_o a_o independent_a satisfaction_n than_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n which_o have_v nothing_o solid_a in_o they_o and_o which_o can_v in_o the_o least_o advance_v our_o enjoyment_n but_o by_o the_o connivance_n of_o those_o who_o they_o design_v to_o impose_v upon_o and_o thus_o much_o may_v suffice_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v much_o more_o valuable_a than_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n as_o it_o have_v a_o near_a resemblance_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n to_o which_o they_o be_v direct_o contrary_a as_o its_o continuance_n will_v be_v to_o all_o eternity_n whereas_o they_o be_v transitory_a and_o soon_o decay_v and_o as_o that_o have_v a_o stock_n of_o happiness_n within_o itsself_n to_o which_o they_o can_v contribute_v but_o by_o the_o assistance_n of_o other_o i_o proceed_v now_o to_o the_o consideration_n of_o my_o second_o general_n namely_o two_o to_o reflect_v upon_o the_o dismal_a consequence_n of_o have_v lose_v our_o soul_n and_o how_o little_a able_a the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n be_v to_o make_v any_o tolerable_a amends_o for_o so_o deplorable_a a_o misfortune_n you_o have_v be_v already_o tell_v that_o by_o lose_v our_o soul_n the_o annihilation_n of_o our_o being_n can_v possible_o be_v mean_v since_o in_o that_o sense_n they_o can_v never_o be_v lose_v by_o we_o but_o it_o be_v the_o precipitate_v of_o they_o into_o a_o state_n of_o misery_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v impossible_a ever_o to_o redeem_v they_o and_o the_o utter_a lose_v they_o to_o all_o the_o intent_n of_o happiness_n and_o satisfaction_n this_o therefore_o be_v the_o condition_n which_o fall_v under_o our_o present_a consideration_n and_o for_o which_o all_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v any_o tolerable_a compensation_n for_o our_o better_a understanding_n this_o deplorable_a condition_n i_o shall_v consider_v it_o one_a in_o relation_n to_o the_o advantage_n of_o which_o we_o be_v deprive_v two_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o misery_n to_o which_o we_o be_v expose_v 1._o then_o i_o shall_v
