what_o we_o be_v design_v in_o another_o world_n hence_o christ_n kingdom_n be_v say_v not_o to_o be_v of_o this_o world_n hence_o we_o be_v direct_v to_o look_v upon_o ourselves_o as_o pilgrim_n and_o stranger_n on_o this_o earth_n 3.20_o john_n 13.36_o heb._n 11.13_o 1_o pet._n 2.11_o heb._n 13.14_o phil._n 3.20_o that_o we_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n that_o we_o have_v here_o no_o continue_a city_n and_o be_v exhort_v to_o be_v in_o the_o continual_a search_n after_o one_o that_o be_v to_o come_v that_o we_o be_v counsel_v to_o set_v our_o affection_n on_o thing_n above_o and_o not_o on_o thing_n on_o the_o earth_n to_o have_v our_o conversation_n in_o another_o world_n that_o be_v to_o behave_v ourselves_o as_o those_o who_o expect_v a_o portion_n and_o a_o interest_n there_o and_o if_o we_o consider_v a_o great_a number_n of_o the_o gospel_n precept_n and_o weigh_v those_o high_a degree_n of_o virtue_n they_o oblige_v we_o to_o and_o to_o deny_v ourselves_o in_o a_o great_a many_o instance_n which_o be_v very_o hard_a and_o difficult_a and_o yet_o not_o altogether_o necessary_a for_o this_o world_n yea_o sometime_o to_o hate_n and_o despise_v this_o world_n and_o to_o choose_v the_o great_a evil_n of_o life_n together_o with_o those_o duty_n of_o overlook_a our_o own_o advantage_n for_o the_o great_a benefit_n of_o other_o of_o do_v good_a for_o evil_a of_o waste_v our_o spirit_n and_o lay_v out_o the_o strength_n and_o vigour_n of_o our_o day_n in_o do_v good_a to_o mankind_n we_o can_v but_o conclude_v that_o these_o rule_n have_v a_o respect_n to_o some_o future_a world_n and_o that_o they_o be_v design_v to_o raise_v we_o up_o to_o such_o a_o temper_n of_o mind_n as_o may_v prepare_v we_o for_o something_o god_n have_v intend_v we_o for_o when_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o end_n of_o this_o life_n of_o man_n upon_o earth_n neither_o can_v we_o possible_o have_v any_o doubt_n of_o this_o who_o believe_v the_o christian_a revelation_n the_o promise_n whereof_o have_v so_o direct_v a_o reference_n to_o a_o future_a state_n of_o thing_n this_o faith_n be_v the_o great_a support_n to_o the_o primitive_a christian_n under_o those_o hard_a circumstance_n they_o be_v in_o their_o thought_n be_v fix_v upon_o such_o promise_v as_o these_o 22.5_o revel_v 3.5.21_o 21.7_o 22.5_o he_o that_o overcome_v will_v i_o clothe_v in_o white_a raiment_n and_o i_o will_v not_o blot_v out_o his_o name_n out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o life_n and_o i_o will_v confess_v he_o before_o my_o father_n and_o he_o shall_v sit_v down_o with_o i_o in_o my_o throne_n even_o as_o i_o have_v overcome_v and_o be_o set_v down_o with_o my_o father_n in_o his_o throne_n and_o he_o shall_v inherit_v all_o thing_n and_o he_o shall_v reign_v with_o i_o for_o ever_o and_o ever_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o they_o be_v such_o great_a instance_n of_o virtue_n such_o bright_a and_o shine_v light_n to_o the_o world_n such_o glorious_a example_n of_o a_o mighty_a zeal_n for_o god_n of_o a_o ardent_a piety_n and_o devotion_n of_o the_o most_o heroic_a goodness_n the_o most_o enlarge_a charity_n a_o exemplary_a patience_n and_o a_o very_a entire_a resignation_n of_o themselves_o to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o they_o so_o ready_o part_v with_o their_o life_n and_o so_o willing_o choose_v to_o die_v to_o the_o amazement_n of_o the_o heathen_a world_n who_o observe_v of_o they_o that_o it_o be_v the_o belief_n of_o a_o life_n after_o this_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o this_o courage_n and_o resolution_n who_o therefore_o will_v not_o sometime_o suffer_v they_o to_o be_v bury_v but_o burn_v their_o body_n and_o disperse_v their_o ash_n foolish_o think_v that_o this_o will_v abate_v their_o hope_n of_o a_o resurrection_n now_o if_o this_o be_v the_o great_a thing_n that_o the_o christian_a institution_n teach_v we_o that_o this_o world_n be_v not_o our_o home_n but_o that_o we_o live_v here_o expectant_n of_o one_o to_o come_v what_o great_a reason_n have_v we_o to_o be_v fond_a of_o this_o life_n or_o who_o can_v blame_v any_o man_n for_o desire_v and_o court_v death_n upon_o these_o principle_n what_o be_v relate_v of_o trismegistus_n when_o he_o die_v whether_o ever_o say_v by_o he_o or_o no_o do_v very_o well_o become_v a_o die_a christian_a express_v his_o future_a hope_n

without_o take_v death_n in_o our_o way_n 2._o the_o have_v the_o sting_n of_o death_n pull_v out_o for_o we_o death_n must_v be_v allow_v to_o be_v very_o terrible_a to_o a_o wicked_a man_n for_o when_o he_o die_v his_o hope_n perish_v 11.7_o prov._n 11.7_o his_o expectation_n be_v utter_o cut_v off_o there_o be_v a_o end_n of_o all_o that_o in_o which_o he_o have_v place_v his_o confidence_n the_o man_n who_o have_v calculate_v all_o his_o project_n and_o design_n mere_o for_o this_o world_n must_v needs_o be_v strange_o surprise_v when_o the_o message_n be_v bring_v he_o that_o god_n

his_o present_a enjoyment_n be_v not_o all_o he_o go_v out_o of_o this_o world_n in_o a_o state_n of_o gild_n and_o be_v hale_v to_o the_o divine_a tribunal_n and_o there_o sentence_v to_o a_o punishment_n we_o know_v little_o more_o of_o than_o this_o that_o it_o be_v certain_o a_o very_a terrible_a one_o and_o probable_o great_a than_o we_o can_v at_o present_a conceive_v it_o to_o be_v it_o be_v far_o otherwise_o with_o the_o good_a man_n he_o part_v with_o nothing_o that_o be_v overvaluable_a to_o he_o have_v never_o engage_v his_o affection_n to_o what_o he_o always_o know_v be_v to_o be_v leave_v in_o a_o few_o day_n and_o he_o go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n with_o his_o sin_n pardon_v and_o deliver_v from_o the_o threaten_n annex_v to_o the_o law_n and_o this_o be_v that_o pull_v out_o the_o sting_n of_o death_n which_o we_o owe_v to_o the_o merit_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n in_o consideration_n of_o which_o a_o christian_a may_v look_v on_o

much_o a_o burden_n to_o a_o pious_a christian_a as_o the_o sharp_a contest_v that_o be_v keep_v up_o within_o he_o betwixt_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n the_o struggle_n betwixt_o the_o principle_n of_o grace_n and_o those_o of_o a_o corrupt_a nature_n and_o the_o advantage_n which_o the_o devil_n and_o temptation_n and_o his_o own_o evil_a inclination_n not_o perfect_o subdue_v often_o get_v of_o he_o through_o the_o remainder_n of_o sin_n in_o he_o these_o be_v matter_n of_o his_o daily_a sorrow_n and_o repentance_n and_o humiliation_n and_o he_o often_o tremble_v for_o those_o sin_n he_o have_v fall_v into_o though_o long_o since_o and_o which_o yet_o he_o hope_v he_o have_v true_o repent_v of_o and_o to_o his_o very_a last_o breath_n continue_v to_o work_v out_o his_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o though_o he_o use_v all_o diligence_n 6.11_o heb_fw-mi 6.11_o according_a to_o the_o apostle_n advice_n to_o reach_v to_o the_o full_a assurance_n of_o hope_n unto_o the_o end_n yet_o he_o confider_v that_o this_o be_v a_o modest_a and_o humble_a sort_n of_o assurance_n which_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o and_o so_o very_o well_o consistent_a with_o some_o

where_o the_o devil_n shall_v have_v no_o further_o advantage_n against_o he_o where_o this_o struggle_n betwixt_o grace_n and_o nature_n shall_v perfect_o cease_v where_o he_o shall_v no_o more_o
