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

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

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

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
