forefather_n be_v stranger_n and_o sojourner_n and_o absent_a from_o our_o country_n this_o be_v the_o present_a state_n and_o condition_n of_o all_o man_n in_o this_o world_n we_o have_v here_o no_o continue_a city_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o second_o thing_n which_o i_o observe_v in_o the_o word_n ii_o our_o hope_n be_v a_o expectation_n as_o to_o another_o we_o seek_v one_o to_o come_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o continue_a city_n that_o we_o shall_v after_o this_o life_n be_v end_v enter_v upon_o a_o eternal_a state_n where_o good_a man_n shall_v be_v unspeakable_o happy_a and_o wicked_a man_n unspeakable_o miserable_a i_o shall_v not_o doubt_v you_o so_o little_a christian_n as_o to_o stand_v to_o prove_v life_n everlasting_a be_v a_o article_n of_o our_o creed_n which_o we_o all_o profess_v to_o believe_v take_v therefore_o that_o for_o grant_v which_o christianity_n command_v you_o to_o believe_v and_o which_o the_o time_n now_o forbid_v i_o to_o insist_v on_o the_o proof_n of_o i_o shall_v only_o deduce_v this_o one_o practical_a inference_n since_o we_o have_v here_o no_o continue_a city_n but_o look_v for_o a_o abide_a city_n a_o eternal_a state_n hereafter_o let_v we_o prepare_v for_o it_o and_o to_o quicken_v our_o diligence_n in_o this_o so_o important_a a_o affair_n consider_v that_o this_o life_n as_o short_a and_o as_o uncertain_a as_o it_o be_v be_v the_o only_a time_n we_o have_v to_o seek_v this_o abide_a city_n which_o we_o look_v for_o it_o be_v here_o alone_o we_o must_v seek_v this_o city_n it_o be_v here_o we_o must_v secure_v to_o ourselves_o a_o happy_a eternity_n or_o no_o where_o when_o this_o life_n end_v when_o we_o be_v in_o the_o grave_a it_o will_v be_v too_o late_o there_o as_o solomon_n assure_v we_o be_v no_o work_n counsel_n nor_o device_n in_o the_o grave_n whither_o we_o be_v go_v that_o as_o job_n describe_v it_o be_v a_o land_n of_o darkness_n itself_o and_o of_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n without_o any_o order_n and_o where_o the_o light_n be_v as_o darkness_n no_o delay_n therefore_o be_v to_o be_v admit_v sure_o i_o be_o there_o be_v nothing_o so_o well_o deserve_v our_o care_n as_o this_o this_o be_v our_o main_n concern_v the_o chief_a business_n of_o our_o life_n and_o shall_v we_o then_o neglect_v it_o shall_v we_o drudge_n toil_n and_o labour_n to_o make_v provision_n for_o a_o short_a frail_a life_n and_o shall_v we_o do_v nothing_o at_o all_o take_v no_o care_n for_o a_o long_a eternal_a one_o shall_v we_o mind_v time_n and_o disregard_n eternity_n this_o one_o will_v think_v be_v such_o egregious_a folly_n as_o no_o rational_a creature_n can_v possible_o be_v guilty_a of_o but_o alas_o we_o see_v how_o busy_a man_n general_o be_v about_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n and_o how_o they_o scarce_o trouble_v their_o head_n with_o the_o thought_n of_o another_o how_o vain_o do_v most_o man_n deceive_v themselves_o with_o the_o hope_n of_o a_o long_a life_n think_v they_o shall_v have_v time_n enough_o hereafter_o to_o seek_v this_o abide_a city_n but_o to_o cure_v if_o possible_a such_o man_n fond_a presumption_n let_v they_o consider_v what_o i_o before_o say_v of_o the_o uncertainty_n of_o our_o state_n in_o this_o world_n let_v they_o consider_v how_o short_a how_o frail_a a_o thing_n life_n be_v what_o be_v your_o life_n say_v s._n james_n it_o be_v a_o vapour_n that_o appear_v for_o a_o little_a time_n and_o then_o vanish_v quick_o do_v it_o pass_v away_o soon_o be_v it_o go_v wherefore_o so_o weighty_a a_o affair_n as_o this_o ought_v not_o to_o

that_o therefore_o thou_o have_v yet_o many_o year_n to_o live_v and_o that_o it_o will_v be_v time_n enough_o in_o thy_o old_a age_n when_o thy_o strength_n be_v decay_v and_o thy_o day_n be_v
