david_n abode_n in_o this_o world_n during_o which_o time_n wheresoever_o he_o shall_v be_v he_o will_v walk_v before_o god_n for_o that_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o emphasis_n of_o the_o plural_a number_n land_n according_a to_o the_o original_a the_o world_n consist_v of_o many_o country_n several_a land_n and_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o man_n either_o by_o force_n or_o willing_o to_o remove_v from_o one_o country_n to_o another_o but_o a_o good_a man_n when_o he_o change_v his_o country_n yet_o alter_v not_o his_o religion_n yea_o wherever_o he_o be_v he_o resolve_v to_o serve_v his_o god_n the_o better_a to_o illustrate_v this_o interpretation_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o proceed_v by_o these_o three_o step_n 1._o this_o present_a world_n be_v just_o call_v the_o land_n of_o the_o live_n or_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o hebrew_n a_o land_n of_o life_n in_o this_o land_n it_o be_v that_o every_o man_n enjoy_v a_o natural_a life_n and_o every_o saint_n lead_v a_o spiritual_a life_n in_o this_o land_n it_o be_v that_o as_o we_o enjoy_v a_o temporal_a so_o we_o lay_v hold_v on_o eternal_a life_n indeed_o that_o life_n which_o the_o saint_n lead_v in_o heaven_n must_v be_v begin_v on_o earth_n there_o it_o shall_v be_v manifest_v but_o here_o it_o be_v confer_v then_o be_v the_o consummation_n but_o now_o must_v be_v the_o inchoation_n of_o that_o life_n which_o shall_v never_o end_v and_o sure_o since_o this_o be_v the_o land_n wherein_o not_o only_o the_o life_n of_o nature_n but_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n be_v vouchsafe_v yea_o that_o life_n of_o glory_n be_v obtain_v assure_v and_o after_o a_o sort_n begin_v it_o may_v very_o well_o deserve_v this_o appellation_n of_o the_o land_n of_o the_o live_n 2._o in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v that_o we_o be_v most_o proper_o say_v to_o walk_v in_o heaven_n we_o shall_v be_v comprehensores_fw-la possessor_n as_o in_o our_o country_n on_o earth_n we_o be_v viatores_fw-la traveller_n as_o in_o the_o way_n there_o we_o shall_v be_v on_o throne_n as_o conqueror_n here_o it_o be_v we_o march_v as_o soldier_n final_o there_o we_o shall_v sit_v down_o 21._o rest_v from_o all_o our_o labour_n here_o it_o be_v we_o must_v work_v and_o walk_v the_o temple_n a_o type_n of_o heaven_n be_v fix_v and_o so_o a_o place_n of_o rest_n where_o the_o people_n do_v settle_v and_o enjoy_v god_n presence_n but_o the_o tabernacle_n a_o type_n of_o this_o world_n be_v ambulatory_a remove_v from_o place_n to_o place_n after_o death_n we_o shall_v lie_v in_o abraham_n bosom_n but_o in_o this_o life_n it_o be_v we_o walk_v in_o abraham_n step_n 12._o 3._o last_o and_o chief_o this_o present_a world_n be_v the_o place_n and_o this_o life_n the_o only_a time_n wherein_o this_o duty_n of_o walk_v before_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o be_v perform_v the_o term_n to_o which_o a_o saint_n walk_v be_v that_o other_o land_n of_o the_o live_n the_o heavenly_a mansion_n but_o the_o ground_n whereon_o he_o must_v walk_v be_v this_o earthly_a desert_n that_o which_o be_v here_o call_v the_o land_n be_v in_o that_o parallel_a scripture_n style_v the_o light_n of_o the_o live_n indeed_o 4._o as_o our_o bless_a saviour_n say_v when_o the_o night_n to_o wit_v of_o death_n come_v no_o man_n can_v work_v the_o light_n the_o day_n namely_o of_o life_n be_v the_o time_n allot_v we_o for_o work_v not_o much_o unlike_a be_v that_o of_o solomon_n there_o be_v no_o work_n nor_o device_n nor_o knowledge●_n nor_o wisdom_n in_o the_o grave_n whither_o thou_o go_v only_a this_o time_n whilst_o we_o be_v go_v to_o the_o grave_n be_v the_o season_n as_o of_o converse_v with_o man_n so_o walk_v before_o god_n 35._o oh_o therefore_o let_v the_o prophet_n counsel_n be_v acceptable_a seek_v the_o lord_n whilst_o he_o may_v be_v find_v and_o call_v upon_o he_o whilst_o he_o be_v near_o that_o be_v according_a to_o the_o caldee_n version_n whilst_o we_o live_v since_o as_o s._n bernard_n both_o witty_o and_o pious_o after_o death_n there_o will_v be_v no_o time_n of_o call_v upon_o god_n when_o god_n shall_v be_v so_o present_a to_o the_o godly_a that_o there_o will_v be_v no_o need_n and_o so_o remote_a from_o the_o wicked_a that_o there_o will_v be_v no_o possibility_n of_o call_v on_o he_o remember_v the_o advice_n which_o our_o bless_a saviour_n give_v the_o jew_n walk_v whilst_o you_o have_v the_o light_n which_o though_o there_o it_o be_v mean_v principal_o of_o the_o gospel_n yet_o it_o may_v be_v secondary_o refer_v to_o this_o life_n and_o whilst_o we_o have_v this_o light_n of_o life_n let_v it_o be_v our_o care_n to_o walk_v with_o god_n to_o this_o end_n be_v please_v to_o consider_v serious_o these_o two_o thing_n 1._o this_o present_a be_v the_o only_a time_n whether_o we_o read_v the_o word_n i_o will_v please_v or_o i_o will_v walk_v both_o be_v to_o be_v perform_v here_o or_o not_o at_o all_o after_o death_n there_o be_v no_o place_n either_o 75._o for_o prayer_n or_o tear_n in_o the_o grave_n there_o be_v neither_o ability_n nor_o opportunity_n of_o walk_v it_o be_v say_v of_o enoch_n that_o before_o his_o translation_n he_o have_v this_o testimony_n and_o so_o must_v we_o if_o at_o all_o that_o he_o please_v god_n to_o wit_n by_o walk_v before_o he_o it_o will_v be_v too_o late_o to_o begin_v this_o spiritual_a when_o we_o be_v at_o the_o end_n of_o our_o natural_a journey_n in_o vain_a be_v that_o salvation_n hope_v for_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o hell_n which_o be_v wrought_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o 17._o the_o earth_n behold_v now_o be_v the_o accept_a time_n behold_v now_o be_v the_o day_n of_o salvation_n the_o prize_n of_o glory_n must_v be_v win_v and_o the_o race_n of_o piety_n run_v now_o or_o never_o 2._o the_o present_a time_n be_v but_o short_a very_o short_a though_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o this_o land_n be_v only_o live_v man_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o long_o live_v it_o be_v call_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o most_o ap●ly_a a_o time_n of_o sojourn_v and_o therefore_o our_o stay_n can_v be_v long_o this_o whole_a world_n be_v but_o as_o a_o common_a inn_n wherein_o some_o stay_n but_o a_o few_o hour_n the_o most_o but_o a_o few_o day_n none_o can_v dwell_v always_o o_o then_o as_o we_o must_v go_v on_o constant_o so_o let_v we_o begin_v present_o aphor._n the_o way_n be_v long_o the_o day_n be_v short_a the_o work_n great_a the_o time_n little_a we_o need_v not_o grudge_v to_o hold_v out_o till_o evening_n we_o have_v need_n to_o set_v forth_o in_o the_o morning_n and_o whilst_o we_o have_v opportunity_n let_v we_o serious_o resolve_v and_o speedy_o practice_v this_o duty_n of_o walk_v before_o the_o lord_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v consider_v the_o word_n distinct_o and_o absolute_o in_o themselves_o represent_v to_o you_o both_o david_n resolve_v upon_o a_o duty_n and_o the_o duty_n upon_o which_o he_o resolve_v in_o the_o matter_n manner_n and_o season_n of_o performance_n it_o now_o remain_v that_o i_o proceed_v more_o brief_o to_o a_o conjunctive_a and_o relative_a discussion_n of_o they_o as_o depend_v on_o the_o precedent_n verse_n that_o you_o may_v see_v what_o be_v the_o impulsive_a cause_n oblige_v

the_o sense_n of_o which_o connexion_n if_o you_o please_v take_v in_o this_o large_a paraphrase_n as_o if_o david_n have_v say_v oh_o my_o god_n thou_o have_v wipe_v away_o tear_n from_o my_o eye_n to_o thou_o therefore_o i_o will_v lift_v they_o up_o in_o thankfulness_n thou_o have_v keep_v my_o foot_n from_o fall_v how_o can_v i_o employ_v they_o better_o than_o in_o walk_v before_o thou_o thou_o have_v deliver_v my_o soul_n from_o death_n to_o who_o but_o thou_o shall_v i_o dedicate_v my_o life_n it_o be_v thy_o free_a gift_n to_o i_o it_o be_v my_o due_a debt_n to_o thou_o i_o can_v
