your_o good_a work_n may_v glorify_v god_n your_o heavenly_a father_n who_o work_v both_o the_o will_n and_o the_o deed_n so_o then_o we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v not_o simple_o evil_a to_o do_v good_a

may_v be_v know_v that_o they_o be_v the_o adopt_a son_n of_o god_n for_o when_o christ_n die_v there_o be_v a_o strange_a alteration_n of_o nature_n the_o earth_n do_v shake_v the_o power_n of_o heaven_n lose_v their_o power_n the_o grave_n open_v the_o dead_a arise_v there_o be_v darkness_n upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n as_o if_o day_n have_v be_v turn_n into_o night_n which_o when_o man_n see_v they_o confess_v yea_o the_o very_a enemy_n of_o christ_n himself_o confess_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o divine_a power_n say_v doubtless_o this_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n so_o when_o christian_n die_v to_o the_o world_n and_o live_v unto_o god_n when_o they_o by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n spirit_n do_v crucify_v sin_n and_o quicken_v righteousness_n there_o be_v also_o

like_o other_o man_n life_n christ_n funeral_n be_v solemnize_v by_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o moon_n by_o the_o power_n of_o heaven_n by_o the_o grave_n and_o the_o dead_a by_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o stone_n and_o all_o the_o insensible_a creature_n whereof_o in_o their_o kind_n some_o blush_v some_o tremble_v some_o faint_v and_o all_o mourn_v for_o the_o death_n of_o their_o lord_n and_o

at_o worldly_a man_n funeral_n yea_o such_o as_o beseem_v not_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o nation_n so_o christian_n life_n and_o death_n too_o be_v solemnize_v and_o grace_v with_o the_o ornament_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o joy_n of_o heavenly_a angel_n with_o the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n &_o the_o applause_n of_o the_o godly_a thing_n not_o regard_v of_o the_o wicked_a nor_o beseem_v the_o hellhound_n of_o this_o world_n but_o doubtless_o when_o man_n see_v these_o light_n they_o must_v needs_o glorify_v god_n and_o say_v god_n have_v do_v great_a thing_n for_o they_o and_o when_o the_o wicked_a themselves_o see_v such_o a_o alteration_n in_o they_o as_o they_o may_v stand_v a_o far_o off_o and_o wonder_v at_o but_o never_o attain_v unto_o they_o must_v be_v enforce_v spite_n of_o their_o heart_n to_o give_v god_n the_o glory_n as_o achan_n do_v say_v this_o be_v the_o truth_n and_o so_o it_o be_v and_o as_o the_o jew_n do_v doubtless_o these_o be_v good_a man_n the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o god_n a_o man_n may_v by_o their_o behaviour_n know_v of_o who_o bring_v up_o they_o be_v by_o their_o habit_n and_o spiritual_a attire_n a_o man_n may_v discern_v they_o to_o be_v the_o citizen_n of_o the_o heavenly_a jerusalem_n bless_a be_v god_n in_o so_o much_o as_o they_o must_v go_v a_o little_a far_o with_o the_o wicked_a in_o the_o book_n of_o wisdom_n and_o say_v we_o be_v fool_n and_o they_o be_v wise_a howsoever_o we_o count_v their_o life_n madness_n before_o we_o be_v they_o that_o play_v the_o madman_n and_o have_v weary_v ourselves_o in_o the_o way_n of_o unrighteousness_n and_o with_o balam_n oh_o that_o we_o may_v die_v the_o death_n of_o the_o righteous_a and_o that_o our_o last_o end_n may_v be_v like_a unto_o they_o and_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o for_o the_o glorify_v of_o god_n in_o this_o life_n it_o be_v necessary_a for_o christian_n to_o exercise_v work_n of_o mercy_n as_o give_v of_o alm_n and_o other_o good_a work_n appoint_v of_o god_n in_o his_o word_n even_o before_o man_n as_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n so_o also_o be_v it_o as_o necessary_a for_o the_o encouragement_n of_o the_o godly_a and_o first_o of_o the_o painful_a pastor_n and_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n and_o then_o of_o other_o christian_n to_o the_o godly_a minister_n it_o be_v no_o small_a comfort_n and_o
