ever_o show_v better_a and_o great_a at_o a_o distance_n than_o they_o prove_v in_o our_o possession_n but_o this_o that_o they_o carry_v no_o proportion_n to_o the_o appetite_n of_o the_o mind_n which_o be_v of_o a_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a nature_n and_o can_v never_o hope_v to_o receive_v adequate_a satisfaction_n from_o any_o thing_n here_o below_o wherefore_o if_o these_o vast_a capacity_n and_o desire_n be_v place_v in_o we_o by_o a_o be_v of_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o if_o a_o be_v infinite_o wise_a can_v do_v nothing_o in_o vain_a than_o it_o follow_v that_o our_o soul_n be_v create_v not_o only_o for_o this_o world_n but_o to_o live_v in_o another_o where_o they_o shall_v converse_v with_o and_o enjoy_v such_o bright_a and_o glorious_a object_n as_o will_v complete_o gratify_v and_o delight_v they_o and_o from_o hence_o i_o deduce_v a_o four_o argument_n for_o the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n viz._n 4._o from_o the_o common_a appetite_n in_o man_n to_o live_v for_o ever_o and_o in_o that_o eternal_a state_n to_o possess_v the_o chief_a good_a which_o will_v satiate_v the_o high_a and_o most_o extensive_a desire_n of_o the_o mind_n every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n love_v happiness_n and_o will_v enjoy_v it_o eternal_o it_o be_v not_o only_o the_o desire_n of_o st._n paul_n to_o be_v dissolve_v and_o be_v with_o christ_n but_o the_o wish_n of_o balaam_n to_o die_v the_o death_n of_o the_o righteous_a he_o believe_v a_o future_a life_n and_o that_o good_a man_n shall_v be_v bless_v in_o it_o and_o he_o wish_v he_o may_v have_v a_o share_n of_o their_o blessedness_n we_o have_v have_v great_a experience_n of_o god_n goodness_n who_o have_v enrich_v we_o with_o many_o favour_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o believe_v that_o he_o love_v we_o and_o do_v intend_v good_a to_o we_o in_o the_o whole_a contrivance_n and_o constitution_n of_o our_o nature_n wherein_o he_o only_o can_v put_v these_o unextinguishable_a appetite_n to_o live_v and_o subsist_v happy_o for_o ever_o and_o to_o partake_v of_o such_o felicity_n as_o this_o world_n do_v not_o afford_v and_o which_o indeed_o be_v no_o where_o to_o be_v find_v but_o in_o his_o infinite_o perfect_a be_v now_o he_o who_o love_v we_o exceed_o well_o and_o of_o who_o bounty_n we_o have_v share_v thus_o large_o already_o will_v not_o have_v endue_v our_o nature_n with_o those_o vehement_a appetite_n which_o unless_o he_o be_v please_v in_o fit_a time_n to_o give_v they_o satisfaction_n can_v only_o serve_v to_o distract_v and_o torture_v our_o mind_n and_o render_v we_o extreme_o miserable_a for_o such_o a_o treatment_n will_v be_v not_o only_o inconsistent_a with_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n which_o appear_v in_o every_o part_n of_o the_o world_n but_o repugnant_a to_o his_o boundless_a goodness_n which_o always_o dispose_v he_o to_o promote_v the_o happiness_n pity_v the_o weakness_n and_o supply_v the_o want_n of_o his_o poor_a creature_n it_o be_v hope_n of_o enjoyment_n of_o everlasting_a happiness_n which_o make_v we_o to_o bear_v injury_n pain_n and_o loss_n patient_o and_o at_o length_n yield_v to_o the_o stroke_n of_o death_n with_o a_o willing_a and_o content_a mind_n but_o have_v we_o reason_n to_o believe_v that_o death_n will_v make_v a_o utter_a end_n both_o of_o body_n and_o soul_n as_o the_o conceit_n thereof_o all-along_a this_o life_n will_v be_v a_o intolerable_a burden_n so_o we_o shall_v leave_v the_o world_n with_o deep_a horror_n but_o if_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o our_o nature_n and_o the_o author_n of_o our_o nature_n be_v infinite_o good_a and_o always_o act_v suitable_o to_o that_o goodness_n and_o if_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o infinite_a goodness_n to_o bestow_v all_o that_o endless_a bliss_n and_o felicity_n upon_o its_o creature_n which_o it_o not_o only_o have_v make_v they_o capable_a of_o but_o which_o it_o have_v incline_v their_o very_a nature_n earnest_o to_o desire_v and_o hope_n for_o then_o we_o may_v from_o hence_o beyond_o all_o question_n and_o doubt_n conclude_v the_o immortality_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o our_o hope_n of_o a_o joyful_a eternity_n can_v no_o where_o rest_n so_o safe_o as_o upon_o the_o divine_a goodness_n 5._o i_o shall_v but_o name_v one_o argument_n more_o though_o it_o be_v of_o unconquerable_a force_n to_o prove_v the_o future_a subsistence_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o that_o be_v divine_a providence_n which_o govern_v the_o world_n preserve_v all_o thing_n in_o their_o natural_a order_n and_o observe_v whatever_o be_v do_v upon_o earth_n to_o the_o end_n all_o man_n may_v receive_v a_o treatment_n from_o god_n agreeable_a to_o their_o behaviour_n that_o those_o who_o love_n and_o fear_v and_o serve_v god_n may_v partake_v of_o the_o glory_n with_o which_o he_o will_v reward_v the_o heavenly-minded_n and_o that_o they_o who_o neglect_v and_o forget_v and_o dishonour_n god_n may_v be_v banish_v into_o outer_a darkness_n that_o they_o who_o have_v do_v good_a in_o their_o generation_n and_o show_v pity_n to_o their_o fellow-creature_n may_v obtain_v a_o recompense_n and_o they_o who_o have_v be_v impure_a and_o malicious_a and_o have_v lay_v wait_v for_o the_o righteous_a oppress_v the_o poor_a and_o not_o spare_v the_o widow_n may_v receive_v judgement_n without_o mercy_n but_o since_o this_o equal_a distribution_n of_o reward_n and_o punishment_n which_o the_o divine_a justice_n do_v require_v be_v not_o make_v in_o this_o world_n we_o have_v full_a assurance_n our_o soul_n shall_v live_v in_o another_o and_o there_o have_v judgement_n pass_v upon_o they_o according_a to_o their_o desert_n it_o now_o but_o remain_v that_o i_o make_v a_o short_a reflection_n or_o two_o upon_o this_o discourse_n 2._o if_o our_o soul_n shall_v survive_v our_o body_n it_o ought_v not_o only_o to_o encourage_v we_o to_o be_v patient_a and_o resign_v to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n under_o the_o great_a variety_n of_o trouble_n and_o affliction_n which_o happen_v in_o this_o life_n but_o also_o to_o arm_v we_o against_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n since_o death_n only_o will_v lay_v open_a a_o passage_n for_o we_o into_o another_o life_n which_o will_v infinite_o surpass_v this_o for_o as_o much_o as_o there_o we_o shall_v be_v deliver_v from_o all_o those_o thing_n which_o render_v our_o present_a condition_n either_o dangerous_a or_o uncomfortable_a we_o shall_v no_o long_o be_v expose_v to_o the_o temptation_n of_o wicked_a man_n or_o of_o our_o own_o lust_n now_o so_o dangerous_a and_o dreadful_a to_o we_o when_o admit_v into_o the_o conversation_n of_o angel_n and_o soul_n make_v perfect_a we_o shall_v not_o so_o much_o as_o suspect_v treachery_n and_o wrong_n when_o out_o of_o reach_n of_o the_o malice_n of_o man_n and_o devil_n we_o shall_v not_o fear_v pain_n and_o disease_n wherewith_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a our_o incorruptible_a nature_n shall_v be_v affect_v in_o a_o word_n we_o never_o again_o shall_v be_v liable_a to_o the_o power_n of_o death_n the_o king_n of_o fear_n for_o our_o lord_n say_v we_o can_v die_v any_o more_o the_o
