conceive_v pleasant_a divine_a joy_n move_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o earthly_a joy_n do_v but_o only_o pitch_v upon_o a_o high_a object_n these_o two_o way_n divine_a joy_n manifest_v itself_o to_o we_o first_o union_n be_v the_o principal_a conduit-pipe_n through_o which_o this_o joy_n proceed_v a_o soul_n unite_v to_o the_o lord_n have_v all_o from_o he_o what_o a_o ocean_n of_o joy_n come_v into_o the_o soul_n with_o that_o appropriate_a title_n god_n be_v i_o for_o all_o true_a joy_n flow_v as_o natural_o from_o this_o as_o the_o river_n run_v from_o the_o sea_n and_o indeed_o the_o cause_n of_o man_n misery_n in_o earth_n arise_v from_o a_o notknowing_a himself_n unite_v to_o the_o lord_n by_o one_o spirit_n for_o this_o union_n be_v much_o more_o glorious_a than_o any_o relation_n on_o earth_n and_o carry_v all_o sweetness_n and_o delight_n with_o it_o the_o knot_n of_o union_n be_v tie_v so_o strong_a by_o divine_a love_n that_o what_o ever_o be_v god_n pleasure_n can_v never_o be_v a_o saint_n pain_n propriety_n give_v life_n to_o a_o cause_n when_o a_o soul_n can_v say_v god_n and_o all_o in_o he_o be_v i_o and_o for_o i_o what_o joy_n do_v you_o think_v it_o will_v produce_v then_o second_o possession_n add_v much_o to_o a_o divine_a joy_n thus_o faith_n do_v give_v the_o soul_n a_o possession_n of_o he_o who_o possess_v all_o thing_n until_o a_o man_n have_v possession_n in_o his_o own_o land_n he_o can_v never_o full_o rejoice_v for_o this_o aggravate_v my_o joy_n when_o i_o have_v so_o much_o as_o at_o my_o command_n good_a old_a simeon_n when_o he_o have_v embrace_v christ_n in_o the_o arm_n of_o faith_n then_o for_o joy_n desire_v to_o die_v that_o he_o may_v full_o possess_v he_o thus_o a_o soul_n when_o enjoy_v christ_n in_o the_o arm_n of_o faith_n his_o sorrow_n be_v go_v what_o joy_n be_v there_o for_o the_o lose_a prodigal_n when_o he_o be_v come_v to_o his_o father_n house_n as_o in_o outward_a delight_n those_o of_o incorporation_n be_v better_o than_o those_o of_o adhesion_n so_o inward_a joy_n they_o be_v strong_a because_o they_o proceed_v from_o a_o fruition_n of_o good_a not_o a_o speculative_a apprehension_n now_o god_n be_v such_o a_o infinite_a eternal_a good_a that_o the_o soul_n be_v unite_v to_o he_o joy_n by_o this_o dilate_v and_o open_v the_o heart_n whence_o it_o be_v call_v laetitia_n which_o signify_v joy_n to_o be_v a_o spread_a passion_n for_o the_o object_n be_v so_o universal_o good_a and_o sweet_a that_o divine_a joy_n can_v be_v bind_v but_o run_v out_o free_o to_o this_o glorious_a object_n and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o lock_v up_o of_o divine_a joy_n but_o it_o run_v forth_o as_o the_o father_n to_o meet_v the_o lose_a prodigal_n the_o nature_n of_o this_o joy_n as_o one_o say_v be_v like_o the_o water_n of_o esculapius_n his_o well_o which_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o putrefaction_n this_o i_o be_o sure_a of_o where_o the_o soul_n joy_n in_o god_n there_o can_v no_o poison_n mix_v with_o it_o and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o excess_n in_o this_o delight_n for_o heaven_n be_v its_o proper_a title_n which_o signify_v a_o kingdom_n of_o joy_n at_o thy_o right_a hand_n be_v pleasure_n for_o evermore_o now_o the_o excellency_n of_o divine_a joy_n further_o appear_v in_o two_o thing_n 1._o first_o it_o behold_v life_n in_o eternity_n for_o in_o all_o natural_a thing_n joy_n do_v arise_v from_o some_o kind_n of_o life_n or_o motion_n eternal_a life_n be_v the_o womb_n of_o divine_a joy_n that_o first_o bring_v it_o forth_o and_o be_v the_o nurse_n that_o feed_v it_o and_o strengthen_v it_o therefore_o when_o the_o soul_n right_o understand_v that_o it_o shall_v live_v with_o the_o lord_n the_o spirit_n be_v exalt_v to_o satiate_v itself_o upon_o life_n on_o the_o contrary_a take_v a_o man_n that_o know_v not_o this_o life_n for_o the_o most_o part_n when_o he_o come_v to_o die_v he_o be_v sad_a despair_a for_o death_n natural_o produce_v sorrow_n as_o life_n do_v joy_n therefore_o there_o shall_v be_v more_o joy_n in_o heaven_n at_o the_o conversion_n of_o one_o sinner_n then_o of_o ninety_o nine_o that_o need_v no_o repentance_n to_o intimate_v unto_o we_o that_o the_o joy_n of_o a_o dead_a man_n raise_v to_o life_n be_v much_o increase_v by_o the_o difficulty_n it_o meet_v with_o in_o conquer_a death_n 2._o second_o divine_a joy_n transport_v the_o soul_n beyond_o a_o fear_n of_o suffer_v nay_o the_o soul_n thus_o set_v upon_o glory_n rejoice_v in_o tribulation_n itself_o col._n 1.11_o therefore_o the_o saint_n of_o old_a rejoice_v that_o they_o be_v count_v worthy_a to_o suffer_v now_o affliction_n be_v a_o evil_a not_o to_o be_v desire_v yet_o consider_v the_o event_n all_o suffering_n that_o they_o make_v way_n for_o a_o great_a glory_n thus_o a_o saint_n in_o divine_a joy_n see_v to_o the_o end_n of_o all_o suffering_n and_o as_o a_o woman_n in_o travail_n forget_v her_o pain_n for_o joy_n that_o a_o manchild_n be_v bear_v into_o the_o world_n so_o divine_a joy_n snatch_v up_o the_o soul_n above_o all_o earthly_a burden_n as_o some_o martyr_n sing_v in_o the_o fire_n m._n philpot_n say_v the_o world_n wonder_v how_o we_o can_v be_v so_o merry_a in_o such_o misery_n but_o they_o consider_v not_o that_o god_n turn_v our_o misery_n into_o felicity_n so_o vincentius_n laugh_v at_o the_o torture_n lay_v upon_o he_o say_v they_o be_v his_o jocularia_fw-la &_o ludicra_fw-la matter_n of_o sport_n and_o pastine_fw-fr to_o he_o now_o another_o reason_n why_o saint_n joy_v in_o suffering_n be_v christ_n go_v as_o a_o pattern_n before_o we_o heb._n 12.2_o who_o for_o the_o joy_n that_o be_v set_v before_o he_o endure_v the_o cross_n despise_v the_o shame_n old_a latimer_n tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v the_o great_a promotion_n god_n give_v in_o this_o world_n thus_o a_o soul_n in_o divine_a joy_n call_v death_n no_o more_o marah_n but_o naomi_n a_o man_n in_o heavenly_a joy_n we_o may_v ask_v he_o quid_fw-la agis_fw-la but_o may_v as_o well_o draw_v in_o all_o the_o breath_n of_o the_o world_n as_o tell_v what_o a_o saint_n be_v about_o not_o that_o there_o be_v want_n of_o word_n but_o want_v in_o word_n to_o express_v it_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v unspeakable_a joy_n 1_o pet._n 1.8_o not_o but_o that_o we_o may_v speak_v of_o it_o but_o we_o can_v describe_v the_o dimension_n of_o this_o joy_n thus_o far_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o divine_a joy_n a_o encouragement_n to_o joy_n in_o the_o lord_n as_o a_o bird_n while_o prison_v in_o a_o cage_n sing_v little_a and_o doleful_o but_o when_o set_v at_o liberty_n in_o the_o open_a air_n it_o sing_v sweet_o so_o a_o saint_n be_v in_o a_o cage_n of_o a_o unclean_a world_n where_o his_o joy_n be_v but_o sparkle_v but_o when_o in_o the_o open_a air_n of_o god_n sweet_a kingdom_n than_o the_o soul_n will_v sing_v sweet_o as_o the_o singer_n of_o israel_n rejoice_v then_o in_o hope_n o_o my_o soul_n let_v thy_o winter_n season_n be_v pass_v over_o with_o delight_n for_o thy_o summer_n be_v nigh_o be_v thou_o afraid_a of_o death_n look_v into_o the_o land_n of_o the_o live_n and_o

for_o thou_o death_n be_v but_o life_n grow_v out_o of_o it_o sorrow_n be_v joy_n in_o its_o seed_n bud_v forth_o suffering_n be_v but_o so_o many_o lesser_a crown_n break_v forth_o into_o great_a

that_o joy_n be_v divine_a joy_n arise_v from_o a_o sight_n of_o and_o affection_n to_o the_o most_o glorious_a object_n now_o in_o the_o work_n of_o joy_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o there_o be_v a_o union_n to_o and_o with_o the_o object_n for_o no_o man_n can_v delight_v in_o that_o which_o he_o neither_o know_v nor_o affect_v and_o indeed_o these_o two_o be_v the_o wing_n of_o the_o soul_n that_o heighten_v this_o joy_n now_o in_o the_o order_n of_o joy_n these_o two_o thing_n much_o aggravate_v it_o first_o contemplation_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n fix_v upon_o the_o object_n for_o

by_o way_n of_o expression_n as_o to_o we_o do_v not_o so_o much_o rejoice_v in_o his_o fiat_fw-la as_o in_o his_o vidit_fw-la not_o so_o much_o when_o he_o give_v all_o creature_n a_o be_v as_o

as_o one_o with_o he_o in_o christ_n be_v take_v with_o the_o object_n the_o thought_n of_o god_n be_v sweet_a to_o he_o as_o david_n i_o think_v of_o thou_o in_o the_o night_n season_n and_o it_o be_v sweet_a to_o i_o for_o serious_a meditation_n carry_v this_o soul_n sometime_o in_o a_o rapture_n above_o itself_o and_o when_o a_o saint_n come_v to_o apprehend_v their_o infinite_a good_a in_o

so_o transport_v beyond_o themselves_o that_o they_o have_v forget_v their_o worldly_a business_n and_o be_v as_o man_n lose_v to_o reason_n 2._o the_o second_o be_v strength_n of_o desire_n for_o strong_a desire_n be_v never_o at_o rest_n until_o they_o be_v satiate_v with_o the_o object_n of_o their_o desire_n for_o desire_n be_v like_o a_o woman_n with_o child_n never_o quiet_v till_o she_o
