communication_n and_o secondary_o in_o the_o body_n but_o contrary_o sin_n make_v its_o entrance_n first_o by_o the_o body_n and_o have_v its_o root_n and_o seat_n first_o in_o order_n of_o nature_n in_o the_o body_n &_o it_o be_v so_o communicate_v to_o the_o soul_n thus_o sin_n come_v in_o at_o the_o backdoor_n even_o at_o the_o wrong_a end_n and_o by_o the_o base_a part_n but_o grace_n come_v in_o the_o right_a way_n by_o the_o noble_a part_n sin_n have_v its_o root_n in_o the_o vile_a part_n but_o christ_n have_v his_o seat_n first_o in_o the_o better_a part_n and_o yet_o i_o must_v add_v 1._o that_o sin_n be_v not_o ripe_a till_o it_o reach_v the_o will_n though_o it_o enter_v by_o the_o flesh_n and_o sense_n it_o be_v not_o form_v nor_o to_o be_v call_v sin_n till_o it_o reach_v the_o will_n and_o as_o there_o it_o be_v situate_v but_o yet_o the_o thing_n itself_o be_v first_o in_o and_o by_o the_o flesh_n 2._o and_o the_o will_n be_v true_o the_o seat_n of_o original_a sin_n itself_o as_o well_o as_o the_o sensitive_a part_n but_o not_o the_o first_o root_n of_o the_o corruption_n though_o sin_n be_v worst_a in_o the_o rational_a part_n because_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o best_a be_v the_o worst_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o first_o there_o but_o holiness_n be_v first_o also_o in_o the_o soul_n and_o so_o communicate_v to_o the_o body_n and_o so_o also_o glory_n itself_o will_v be_v and_o therefore_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o wise_a and_o gracious_a providence_n of_o god_n that_o take_v the_o soul_n to_o heaven_n beforehand_o that_o it_o may_v be_v first_o glorify_v and_o so_o may_v be_v fit_a to_o communicate_v glory_n to_o the_o body_n and_o so_o as_o the_o natural_a soul_n dignify_v the_o natural_a body_n and_o the_o sanctify_a soul_n do_v sanctify_v the_o body_n so_o the_o glorify_a soul_n by_o reunion_n with_o the_o body_n shall_v communicate_v its_o nature_n to_o the_o body_n at_o the_o resurrection_n and_o so_o it_o will_v be_v make_v spiritual_a immortal_a and_o incorruptible_a by_o the_o soul_n and_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v make_v such_o by_o christ_n so_o that_o by_o this_o time_n you_o may_v see_v that_o there_o be_v more_o reason_n for_o the_o resurrection_n for_o all_o the_o body_n be_v turn_v to_o earth_n than_o there_o be_v reason_n that_o a_o candle_n that_o be_v go_v out_o shall_v be_v light_v again_o by_o another_o or_o than_o there_o be_v reason_n that_o i_o shall_v put_v on_o my_o clothes_n in_o the_o morning_n which_o i_o put_v off_o at_o night_n it_o be_v true_a those_o clothes_n have_v no_o power_n to_o put_v on_o themselves_o nor_o be_v there_o any_o natural_a necessitate_v cause_n of_o it_o but_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o free_a cause_n in_o i_o that_o will_v infallible_o if_o i_o live_v and_o be_v able_a produce_v it_o for_o nature_n dispose_v i_o to_o abhor_v nakedness_n and_o desire_v my_o clothes_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o morning_n i_o will_v put_v they_o on_o and_o so_o nature_n teach_v the_o separate_a soul_n to_o desire_v a_o reunion_n with_o its_o body_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o resurrection_n morning_n come_v it_o will_v glad_o take_v the_o word_n from_o christ_n and_o give_v that_o vital_a touch_n to_o the_o body_n that_o shall_v revive_v it_o and_o so_o put_v on_o its_o ancient_a garment_n but_o wonderful_o change_v from_o fleshly_a to_o spiritual_a from_o dishonourable_a into_o glorious_a and_o now_o i_o hope_v you_o see_v that_o you_o may_v put_v off_o these_o clothes_n with_o patience_n and_o submission_n and_o that_o it_o be_v no_o wrong_n to_o the_o flesh_n itself_o to_o be_v put_v off_o but_o tend_v to_o its_o high_a advancement_n at_o the_o last_o though_o the_o first_o cause_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o nest_n of_o sin_n shall_v be_v so_o break_v first_o that_o it_o shall_v first_o be_v see_v what_o sin_n have_v do_v before_o it_o be_v see_v what_o grace_n will_v do_v and_o the_o fruit_n of_o our_o own_o way_n must_v first_o be_v taste_v before_o we_o shall_v full_o feed_v and_o live_v upon_o the_o bless_a fruit_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n 11._o moreover_o as_o there_o be_v a_o resurrection_n for_o the_o body_n itself_o and_o that_o to_o a_o more_o perfect_a estate_n than_o it_o can_v here_o attain_v so_o the_o whole_a nature_n shall_v be_v perfect_v beyond_o our_o present_a comprehension_n this_o life_n be_v not_o

methinks_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o body_n itself_o much_o more_o of_o the_o soul_n if_o we_o be_v believer_n we_o shall_v submit_v content_o to_o death_n while_o you_o be_v here_o you_o know_v

say_v sure_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o your_o heart_n will_v not_o suffer_v you_o considerate_o to_o say_v so_o consult_v with_o your_o new_a nature_n with_o the_o holy_a principle_n that_o be_v in_o you_o me_n think_v you_o shall_v not_o be_v content_a to_o remain_v for_o ever_o at_o such_o a_o distance_n from_o god_n as_o you_o be_v if_o you_o can_v i_o blame_v you_o not_o to_o be_v

sanctification_n which_o you_o have_v or_o which_o be_v to_o be_v attain_v in_o this_o life_n be_v you_o content_a to_o live_v for_o ever_o with_o no_o more_o knowledge_n or_o love_n of_o god_n no_o

humility_n or_o heavenly_a mindedness_n be_v you_o content_v rather_o to_o live_v for_o ever_o under_o all_o the_o pride_n and_o ignorance_n and_o passion_n and_o selfishness_n and_o lust_n and_o worldliness_n and_o all_o other_o sin_n that_o here_o beset_v you_o rather_o than_o to_o remove_v to_o the_o place_n of_o perfection_n and_o yield_v that_o death_n shall_v break_v the_o vessel_n and_o nest_n of_o your_o corruption_n if_o you_o care_v so_o little_a for_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o see_v so_o little_a beauty_n in_o his_o image_n and_o see_v so_o little_a odiousness_n in_o sin_n that_o you_o have_v rather_o keep_v it_o for_o ever_o than_o go_v to_o god_n by_o the_o passage_n of_o death_n i_o blame_v you_o not_o to_o be_v afraid_a to_o die_v but_o if_o otherwise_o why_o do_v you_o desire_v perfection_n and_o deliverance_n and_o yet_o be_v so_o loath_a to_o come_v and_o receive_v it_o when_o you_o know_v that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v have_v on_o earth_n 19_o moreover_o be_v you_o content_v to_o remain_v for_o ever_o as_o unserviceable_a to_o god_n as_o here_o you_o be_v alas_o how_o little_o do_v you_o for_o he_o how_o much_o do_v you_o to_o displease_v he_o lie_v together_o all_o the_o service_n of_o your_o life_n and_o how_o small_a and_o poor_a a_o matter_n be_v it_o and_o will_v you_o still_o live_v at_o these_o rate_n will_v this_o content_v you_o i_o think_v it_o shall_v not_o if_o you_o have_v grace_n in_o your_o heart_n why_o then_o do_v you_o not_o desire_v to_o depart_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n there_o you_o shall_v be_v perfect_o fit_v for_o his_o service_n and_o therefore_o perfect_o perform_v it_o what_o other_o service_n god_n will_v have_v for_o we_o we_o can_v yet_o tell_v but_o love_n and_o praise_v we_o be_v sure_o will_v be_v the_o chief_a and_o the_o rest_n will_v be_v good_a and_o holy_a and_o honourable_a what_o ever_o it_o be_v if_o you_o be_v christian_n i_o think_v the_o sense_n of_o your_o unprofitableness_n and_o of_o your_o unpleasing_a frame_n of_o heart_n and_o life_n shall_v be_v your_o daily_a grief_n and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v desire_v the_o state_n where_o you_o may_v be_v more_o serviceable_a and_o not_o be_v so_o unwilling_a of_o it_o 20._o last_o i_o will_v ask_v you_o be_v you_o content_v to_o attain_v no_o other_o end_n of_o all_o your_o life_n and_o labour_n and_o suffering_n than_o here_o you_o do_v attain_v what_o be_v it_o that_o you_o pray_v for_o and_o seek_v and_o strive_v for_o be_v it_o for_o no_o more_o than_o be_v to_o be_v have_v on_o earth_n if_o you_o have_v no_o high_a design_n intention_n or_o desire_n i_o can_v much_o blame_v you_o to_o be_v loath_a to_o die_v but_o if_o you_o have_v i_o think_v no_o man_n shall_v be_v unwilling_a to_o attain_v his_o end_n what_o have_v you_o do_v and_o suffer_v so_o much_o for_o heaven_n and_o now_o will_v you_o not_o go_v to_o it_o have_v you_o rather_o all_o your_o labour_n be_v lose_v do_v you_o desire_v to_o be_v happy_a or_o do_v you_o not_o if_o you_o do_v as_o certain_o you_o do_v will_v you_o not_o go_v where_o happiness_n it_o to_o be_v have_v when_o you_o be_v sure_a that_o it_o be_v not_o not_o to_o be_v have_v on_o earth_n what_o say_v you_o be_v there_o not_o plain_a reason_n in_o all_o this_o that_o i_o propound_v to_o you_o it_o be_v a_o sad_a case_n when_o man_n seek_v not_o god_n and_o heaven_n as_o their_o felicity_n but_o only_o as_o a_o lesser_a evil_n than_o hell_n which_o they_o will_v endure_v rather_o than_o enjoy_v when_o they_o can_v keep_v no_o long_o this_o earthly_a life_n which_o they_o account_v their_o felicity_n where_o this_o be_v the_o case_n it_o be_v a_o sad_a case_n and_o be_v not_o this_o a_o common_a case_n there_o will_v not_o be_v so_o much_o unwillingness_n to_o depart_v and_o now_o christian_a reader_n i_o beseech_v thou_o weigh_v these_o forego_n consideration_n and_o judge_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o a_o contradiction_n to_o thy_o profession_n and_o unseemly_a for_o a_o believer_n to_o be_v unwilling_a to_o die_v when_o god_n shall_v call_v he_o much_o more_o to_o cast_v away_o evelasting_a life_n for_o the_o save_n of_o his_o temporal_a life_n but_o a_o little_o long_a o_o learn_v the_o needful_a lesson_n of_o self-denial_n especial_o in_o this_o point_n of_o deny_v your_o life_n he_o that_o can_v do_v this_o can_v do_v all_o and_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o he_o be_v mortify_v indeed_o and_o he_o that_o can_v do_v all_o the_o rest_n and_o stick_v but_o at_o this_o and_o can_v part_v with_o any_o thing_n for_o christ_n save_o his_o life_n do_v indeed_o do_v nothing_o nor_o be_v it_o esteem_v self-denying_a it_o be_v a_o lesson_n therefore_o that_o be_v exceed_o necessary_a to_o be_v learn_v and_o worthy_a all_o your_o time_n and_o diligence_n even_o to_o deny_v your_o life_n for_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n perhaps_o you_o will_v say_v we_o live_v in_o day_n of_o peace_n and_o liberty_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o like_a to_o be_v call_v to_o martyrdom_n what_o need_v then_o have_v we_o to_o learn_v this_o lesson_n i_o answer_v 1._o you_o be_v uncertain_a what_o change_v you_o may_v see_v but_o if_o you_o never_o suffer_v yet_o you_o must_v be_v sure_a that_o you_o have_v a_o heart_n that_o will_v suffer_v if_o god_n do_v call_v you_o to_o it_o for_o though_o you_o may_v be_v save_v without_o suffering_n where_o you_o be_v not_o call_v to_o it_o yet_o you_o can_v be_v save_v without_o a_o heart_n that_o will_v suffer_v if_o you_o be_v put_v upon_o it_o 2._o and_o if_o you_o can_v deny_v your_o life_n for_o christ_n you_o will_v not_o sincere_o deny_v your_o pleasure_n or_o profit_n or_o honour_n for_o he_o if_o you_o will_v not_o suffer_v death_n for_o he_o if_o he_o call_v you_o to_o it_o you_o will_v not_o sincere_o suffer_v loss_n and_o wrong_n and_o reproach_n for_o he_o which_o almost_o every_o christian_a must_v expect_v so_o that_o to_o try_v your_o own_o sincerity_n you_o shall_v look_v after_o it_o 3._o and_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o death_n will_v short_o come_v and_o than_o if_o you_o have_v not_o learn_v this_o lesson_n to_o deny_v yourselves_o even_o in_o case_n of_o life_n you_o will_v die_v unwilling_o and_o uncomfortable_o at_o least_o i_o think_v i_o may_v reason_v thus_o with_o any_o man_n of_o you_o good_a or_o bad_a either_o death_n be_v indeed_o terrible_a or_o not_o if_o it_o be_v not_o why_o do_v you_o so_o fear_v it_o when_o it_o come_v if_o it_o be_v why_o do_v you_o not_o as_o well_o fear_v it_o before_o it_o come_v even_o in_o your_o youth_n and_o health_n for_o you_o be_v sure_a then_o that_o you_o must_v die_v as_o if_o it_o be_v upon_o you_o a_o wonderful_a thing_n it_o be_v that_o man_n heart_n shall_v be_v so_o unreasonable_o insensible_a and_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v so_o great_a a_o difference_n in_o the_o affection_n of_o most_o in_o regard_n of_o death_n it_o be_v no_o matter_n of_o doubt_n or_o
