divorce_v from_o their_o body_n in_o short_a when_o million_o of_o million_o of_o age_n be_v run_v out_o in_o the_o fruition_n of_o heavenly_a pleasure_n their_o happiness_n will_v be_v no_o near_o to_o its_o period_n than_o at_o the_o first_o moment_n of_o their_o admission_n into_o the_o region_n of_o glory_n 2._o it_o be_v undecay_v as_o they_o shall_v not_o cease_v to_o rejoice_v so_o their_o joy_n will_v never_o be_v impair_v or_o diminish_v there_o shall_v be_v no_o cloud_n to_o obscure_v the_o splendour_n of_o that_o eternal_a day_n our_o happiness_n will_v be_v always_o the_o

eternal_a life_n be_v the_o free_a gift_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o not_o the_o proper_a reward_n of_o our_o service_n since_o we_o owe_v a_o perfect_a obedience_n to_o our_o lord_n can_v we_o

we_o can_v conceal_v our_o infidelity_n from_o our_o omniscient_a lord_n though_o our_o fellow_n servant_n may_v be_v unacquainted_a with_o it_o deceitful_a plea_n and_o excuse_n will_v not_o avail_v we_o when_o we_o stand_v before_o that_o judge_n who_o eye_n be_v as_o a_o flame_n of_o fire_n 2._o how_o sad_a will_v the_o condition_n of_o unfaithful_a servant_n be_v in_o the_o awful_a day_n of_o account_n if_o they_o that_o be_v faithful_a shall_v enter_v into_o the_o joy_n of_o their_o lord_n than_o they_o that_o be_v unfaithful_a shall_v be_v doom_v to_o eternal_a sorrow_n as_o there_o be_v a_o vast_a difference_n between_o their_o state_n and_o their_o action_n at_o present_a so_o their_o condition_n will_v be_v vast_o different_a hereafter_o they_o that_o spend_v all_o their_o time_n in_o the_o service_n of_o sin_n and_o satan_n will_v receive_v dreadful_a wage_n even_o everlasting_a death_n at_o the_o end_n of_o it_o the_o talent_n which_o be_v now_o entrust_v with_o they_o will_v inflame_v their_o reckon_a when_o they_o stand_v at_o their_o lord_n tribunal_n since_o they_o have_v sow_o to_o the_o flesh_n they_o shall_v of_o the_o flesh_n reap_v corruption_n think_v of_o

the_o thought_n of_o appear_v before_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o you_o when_o sensible_o approach_v his_o judgment-seat_n think_v of_o that_o awful_a day_n when_o christ_n shall_v be_v reveal_v from_o

you_o who_o have_v slight_v and_o contemn_v he_o when_o he_o shall_v appear_v in_o a_o pompous_a manner_n arm_v with_o almighty_a power_n and_o attend_v with_o a_o numerous_a train_n to_o pronounce_v a_o irreversible_a sentence_n of_o condemnation_n upon_o you_o can_v you_o bear_v to_o dwell_v in_o blackness_n of_o darkness_n and_o to_o lie_v in_o unquenchable_a flame_n with_o legion_n of_o
