father_n have_v do_v here_o be_v a_o promise_n with_o a_o condition_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v i_o suppose_v that_o hezekiah_n in_o his_o prayer_n vers_fw-la 3d_o make_v mention_n of_o his_o fulfil_n that_o condition_n viz._n that_o david_n child_n must_v take_v heed_n to_o their_o way_n if_o they_o desire_v to_o sit_v upon_o his_o throne_n that_o they_o walk_v before_o he_o as_o david_n have_v do_v for_o say_v hezekiah_n remember_v now_o o_o lord_n i_o beseech_v thou_o how_o i_o have_v walk_v before_o thou_o in_o truth_n and_o with_o a_o perfect_a heart_n &_o have_v do_v that_o which_o be_v good_a in_o thy_o sight_n as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v lord_n i_o hope_v thou_o will_v not_o cut_v i_o off_o and_o leave_v the_o kingdom_n without_o a_o heir_n of_o the_o seed_n of_o david_n see_v thou_o do_v promise_v he_o that_o thou_o will_v not_o provide_v that_o his_o child_n take_v heed_n to_o their_o way_n that_o they_o walk_v before_o he_o as_o david_n do_v and_o through_o thy_o grace_n i_o have_v so_o walk_v in_o my_o measure_n and_o therefore_o i_o hope_v thou_o will_v not_o take_v i_o away_o who_o have_v perform_v the_o condition_n so_o that_o hezekiah_n though_o a_o very_a good_a man_n be_v afraid_a of_o death_n yet_o not_o simple_o but_o lest_o the_o kingdom_n shall_v want_v a_o heir_n of_o the_o seed_n of_o david_n and_o this_o that_o i_o have_v say_v confirm_v the_o opinion_n of_o those_o that_o say_v that_o hezekiah_n be_v loath_a to_o die_v because_o than_o he_o have_v no_o heir_n though_o that_o be_v not_o all_o the_o reason_n for_o second_o he_o be_v also_o loath_a to_o die_v in_o god_n displeasure_n so_o as_o a_o child_n of_o god_n my_o do_v for_o god_n do_v testify_v his_o temporal_a displeasure_n many_o time_n against_o his_o own_o child_n 32._o if_o his_o child_n forsake_v my_o law_n and_o walk_v not_o in_o my_o judgement_n if_o they_o break_v my_o statute_n and_o keep_v not_o my_o commandment_n then_o will_v i_o

hand_n the_o glory_n of_o the_o saint_n receive_v increase_v as_o their_o labour_n and_o pain_n be_v fruitful_a as_o divine_n say_v of_o paul_n glory_n one_o heaven_n be_v too_o much_o for_o the_o best_a saint_n that_o ever_o live_v be_v not_o the_o reward_n of_o grace_n and_o yet_o your_o heaven_n shall_v multiply_v according_a to_o the_o fruit_n of_o your_o good_a do_n which_o you_o leave_v behind_o you_o and_o this_o will_v be_v instead_o of_o do_v good_a in_o heaven_n when_o the_o saint_n leave_v that_o behind_o they_o which_o keep_v fructify_a after_o they_o have_v leave_v this_o world_n why_o quest_n what_o be_v that_o which_o they_o may_v thus_o leave_v behind_o they_o their_o good_a work_n and_o word_n answ_n and_o example_n and_o holy_a life_n their_o instruction_n exhortation_n counsel_n encouragement_n their_o remarkable_a action_n and_o suffering_n for_o christ_n by_o all_o which_o they_o act_n and_o speak_v even_o after_o death_n 4._o and_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n that_o i_o know_v whereby_o to_o do_v good_a when_o you_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o in_o this_o way_n shall_v the_o glorify_a saint_n know_v in_o heaven_n whether_o the_o good_a work_n which_o they_o leave_v behind_o they_o do_v fructify_v for_o they_o shall_v find_v and_o feel_v it_o in_o their_o enlarge_a crown_n further_a augmentation_n and_o additional_a glory_n and_o then_o they_o shall_v break_v out_o into_o new_a song_n of_o praise_n to_o god_n and_o the_o lamb_n for_o help_v they_o to_o sow_v their_o seed_n on_o earth_n which_o still_o fructify_v after_o they_o be_v go_v to_o heaven_n and_o in_o this_o way_n a_o father_n may_v convert_v his_o child_n or_o child_n after_o his_o death_n as_o as_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o many_o have_v do_v and_o then_o he_o hear_v of_o it_o in_o heaven_n two_o way_n 1._o by_o his_o additional_a glory_n 2._o by_o the_o joyful_a acclamation_n of_o the_o angel_n for_o the_o conversion_n of_o a_o sinner_n 10_o wherefore_o let_v we_o endeavour_v so_o to_o live_v here_o a_o little_a while_n that_o our_o good_a work_n may_v live_v when_o we_o be_v dead_a and_o act_v when_o we_o be_v at_o rest_n and_o speak_v when_o we_o be_v go_v down_o into_o silence_n and_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o holiness_n when_o we_o be_v in_o endless_a happiness_n and_o bring_v soul_n to_o heaven_n after_o we_o to_o tell_v we_o that_o our_o good_a work_n and_o word_n and_o example_n instruction_n exhortation_n counsel_n suffering_n grace_n be_v yet_o all_o alive_a and_o well_o and_o like_a to_o yield_v a_o further_a crop_n and_o

visit_v their_o transgression_n with_o the_o rod_n and_o their_o iniquity_n with_o stripe_n and_o he_o testify_v it_o sometime_o in_o their_o death_n as_o he_o do_v in_o the_o death_n of_o the_o

hezekiah_n be_v afraid_a that_o god_n have_v some_o controversy_n with_o he_o and_o he_o be_v loath_a to_o die_v in_o god_n displeasure_n peradventure_o he_o be_v somewhat_o lift_v up_o with_o his_o

what_o the_o sin_n be_v i_o will_v not_o positive_o determine_v only_o i_o thus_o conjecture_v but_o that_o he_o apprehend_v god_n displeasure_n for_o his_o sin_n be_v evident_a from_o the_o word_n immediate_o before_o my_o text_n say_v he_o thou_o have_v cast_v all_o my_o sin_n behind_o thy_o back_n therefore_o it_o seem_v his_o sin_n lay_v before_o the_o face_n of_o god_n till_o his_o

the_o church_n in_o a_o very_a deplore_a condition_n when_o he_o come_v to_o the_o crown_n and_o as_o for_o his_o present_a reformation_n it_o have_v not_o last_v so_o long_o as_o his_o father_n deformation_n and_o idolatry_n and_o his_o reformation_n have_v scarce_o take_v root_n as_o yet_o therefore_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o live_v long_o and_o not_o as_o yet_o to_o die_v four_o that_o which_o make_v he_o the_o more_o unwilling_a be_v the_o nature_n of_o his_o disease_n which_o by_o the_o remedy_n and_o way_n of_o cure_n a_o lump_n of_o figgs_n lay_v for_o a_o plaster_n upon_o the_o

with_o the_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o god_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o reason_n why_o hezekiah_n be_v loath_a to_o die_v now_o then_o be_v recover_v and_o have_v a_o lease_n of_o his_o life_n
