of_o that_o whatsoever_o they_o be_v like_a to_o be_v they_o will_v be_v they_o in_o excess_n for_o we_o may_v rational_o suppose_v that_o the_o future_a happiness_n of_o good_a pastor_n will_v exceed_v that_o of_o most_o other_o man_n not_o only_o because_o they_o have_v be_v near_o to_o god_n in_o their_o sacred_a employment_n and_o do_v he_o more_o valuable_a service_n but_o also_o as_o they_o be_v fit_v and_o prepare_v for_o the_o reception_n of_o great_a bliss_n for_o as_o god_n have_v all_o along_o suit_v his_o command_n to_o the_o present_a capacity_n of_o his_o creature_n so_o doubtless_o he_o will_v at_o last_o suit_n his_o future_a beatitude_n to_o the_o capacity_n of_o the_o receiver_n also_o those_o therefore_o who_o by_o a_o long_a course_n of_o heavenly_a exercise_n and_o by_o a_o continue_a engagement_n in_o holy_a office_n have_v dilate_v and_o extend_v the_o capacity_n of_o their_o soul_n be_v likely_a at_o last_o to_o obtain_v those_o high_a degree_n of_o glory_n that_o be_v full_o suit_v to_o their_o enlarge_a faculty_n for_o though_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o all_o the_o vessel_n of_o mercy_n shall_v be_v equal_o fill_v with_o glory_n yet_o i_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o certain_a that_o all_o those_o vessel_n shall_v not_o be_v of_o equal_a size_n and_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o a_o more_o capacious_a vessel_n when_o fill_v will_v receive_v more_o than_o a_o lesser_a vessel_n though_o equal_o full_a faithful_n pastor_n therefore_o as_o have_v most_o exercise_v and_o consequent_o most_v enlarge_v their_o grace_n will_v be_v capable_a of_o great_a degree_n of_o happiness_n since_o they_o not_o only_o abound_v in_o all_o the_o grace_n of_o other_o christian_n but_o in_o the_o additional_a grace_n peculiar_a to_o their_o own_o holy_a function_n and_o so_o come_v with_o a_o double_a capacity_n to_o receive_v those_o reward_n which_o god_n without_o doubt_n will_v then_o proportion_v to_o the_o capacity_n of_o the_o receiver_n so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v degree_n of_o glory_n hereafter_o then_o certain_o the_o high_a stall_n of_o honour_n shall_v be_v secure_v to_o those_o who_o have_v faithful_o labour_v in_o the_o word_n and_o doctrine_n and_o so_o salvation_n will_v be_v more_o to_o they_o than_o to_o other_o men._n when_o from_o attend_v upon_o the_o altar_n of_o god_n they_o shall_v be_v advance_v to_o those_o
