that_o all_o do_v so_o i_o can_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n between_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o great_a divine_a philosopher_n or_o statesman_n and_o that_o of_o the_o very_a dolt_n or_o idiot_n be_v to_o i_o a_o improbable_a paradox_n and_o i_o can_v but_o think_v that_o there_o be_v a_o gradual_a difference_n at_o least_o among_o soul_n themselves_o 10._o this_o diversity_n i_o humble_o conceive_v be_v find_v in_o all_o the_o faculty_n and_o power_n of_o the_o soul_n i_o mean_v in_o the_o understanding_n will_n and_o active_a or_o executive_a power_n in_o all_o these_o the_o difference_n be_v various_a according_a as_o man_n love_n service_n and_o good_a work_n may_v have_v be_v various_a here_o below_o those_o that_o have_v be_v most_o pious_a holy_a and_o abundant_a in_o the_o work_v of_o righteousness_n will_v have_v the_o largest_n understanding_n the_o most_o vigorous_a affection_n of_o love_n delight_n and_o joy_n and_o the_o most_o prompt_a and_o ready_a power_n and_o method_n of_o express_v they_o in_o such_o way_n and_o by_o such_o mean_n as_o be_v fit_a and_o congruous_a thereunto_o they_o will_v know_v most_o and_o love_n and_o rejoice_v most_o and_o express_v this_o love_n and_o joy_n most_o ready_o in_o the_o other_o world_n that_o serve_v the_o honour_n of_o god_n and_o the_o good_a of_o man_n most_o industrious_o in_o this._n they_o that_o have_v be_v most_o holy_a and_o live_v most_o to_o the_o acceptation_n of_o god_n in_o time_n will_v know_v he_o most_o full_o and_o love_v he_o most_o passionate_o in_o eternity_n and_o yet_o their_o knowledge_n and_o love_n as_o well_o as_o that_o of_o other_o may_v be_v capable_a of_o increase_n and_o augmentation_n as_o i_o have_v discourse_v before_o 11._o and_o there_o may_v be_v as_o great_a diversity_n in_o the_o body_n and_o bodily_a organ_n and_o sense_n of_o the_o bless_a as_o there_o be_v in_o their_o mind_n some_o may_v be_v more_o pure_a and_o spiritual_a than_o other_o and_o consequent_o more_o agile_a and_o fit_a for_o motion_n some_o may_v have_v their_o sense_n and_o the_o several_a organ_n and_o instrument_n thereof_o more_o perfect_a and_o complete_a than_o other_o and_o consequent_o more_o capable_a of_o apprehend_v their_o object_n and_o perceive_v all_o the_o perfection_n and_o curiosity_n in_o they_o some_o may_v have_v a_o more_o large_a and_o extensive_a presence_n than_o other_o and_o therefore_o be_v capable_a of_o inspect_v at_o one_o view_v more_o of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n which_o render_v they_o more_o affect_v and_o more_o amaze_a he_o that_o stand_v upon_o a_o high_a hill_n or_o turret_n behold_v more_o thing_n than_o he_o that_o stand_v in_o a_o valley_n and_o be_v much_o more_o please_v and_o delight_v therein_o yea_o be_v much_o more_o ravish_v with_o admiration_n of_o they_o 12._o how_o great_a may_v be_v the_o variety_n and_o gradual_a difference_n among_o the_o bless_a in_o these_o thing_n can_v be_v determine_v great_a have_v be_v the_o number_n of_o man_n that_o since_o the_o creation_n have_v dwell_v on_o the_o face_n of_o this_o earth_n and_o yet_o perhaps_o there_o be_v never_o two_o among_o they_o in_o all_o thing_n and_o total_o alike_o some_o difference_n in_o the_o mixture_n of_o the_o element_n of_o which_o they_o be_v compound_v in_o the_o shape_n figure_n and_o proportion_n of_o their_o body_n in_o the_o feature_n of_o their_o face_n and_o beauty_n of_o their_o countenance_n may_v be_v see_v and_o observe_v upon_o they_o and_o as_o various_a may_v be_v the_o difference_n of_o the_o glorious_a body_n of_o the_o bless_a the_o star_n be_v vast_o numerous_a and_o yet_o perchance_o the_o difference_n of_o their_o glory_n may_v be_v as_o great_a as_o their_o number_n and_o that_o none_o of_o they_o be_v in_o all_o thing_n alike_o and_o equal_a and_o such_o may_v be_v the_o inequality_n among_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o celestial_a kingdom_n 13._o and_o it_o may_v be_v modest_o suppose_v that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o the_o bless_a may_v be_v as_o various_a as_o their_o glory_n and_o perfection_n be_v the_o more_o glorious_a and_o perfect_a any_o creature_n be_v the_o more_o like_a he_o be_v to_o god_n and_o certain_o the_o more_o like_o any_o creature_n be_v to_o god_n the_o more_o it_o be_v belove_v of_o he_o why_o else_o do_v god_n despise_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n in_o comparison_n of_o a_o humble_a and_o contrite_a spirit_n and_o one_o that_o tremble_v at_o his_o word_n isa_n 66.1_o 2._o be_v it_o not_o because_o there_o be_v more_o of_o his_o image_n on_o such_o a_o person_n than_o on_o the_o frame_n and_o fabric_n of_o the_o material_a earth_n and_o heaven_n why_o do_v god_n love_n and_o take_v more_o delight_n in_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n than_o in_o man_n and_o angel_n and_o all_o the_o holy_a myriad_n that_o be_v about_o his_o throne_n of_o which_o i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o doubt_n be_v it_o not_o for_o this_o reason_n that_o he_o be_v a_o far_o more_o illustrious_a image_n of_o his_o attribute_n and_o perfection_n than_o any_o or_o all_o of_o they_o 14._o how_o god_n will_v manifest_v a_o various_a and_o different_a affection_n to_o the_o bless_a according_a to_o the_o difference_n of_o their_o perfection_n i_o can_v affirm_v whether_o he_o will_v do_v it_o by_o internal_a effusion_n of_o joy_n and_o consolation_n or_o by_o external_n effect_n and_o demonstration_n or_o by_o both_o which_o seem_v most_o probable_a i_o know_v not_o that_o be_v a_o question_n that_o i_o will_v leave_v for_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o other_o world_n but_o that_o god_n can_v and_o do_v do_v it_o be_v past_a doubt_n with_o i_o he_o manifest_v a_o peculiar_a love_n to_o his_o only_a belove_a son_n and_o can_v do_v so_o to_o all_o the_o member_n of_o his_o body_n in_o several_a measure_n and_o proportion_n 15._o this_o great_a variety_n of_o love_n and_o affection_n will_v cause_n no_o envy_n or_o emulation_n among_o the_o bless_a for_o they_o be_v free_a of_o all_o sinful_a passion_n affection_n and_o inclination_n and_o do_v rejoice_v in_o the_o effusion_n and_o manifestation_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o other_o as_o well_o as_o to_o themselves_o particular_a advantage_n be_v matter_n of_o common_a joy_n as_o all_o the_o heavenly_a quire_n do_v rejoice_v in_o the_o pre-eminence_n of_o christ_n jesus_n so_o do_v they_o in_o the_o advantage_n of_o each_o other_o 16._o but_o though_o this_o variety_n cause_v no_o envy_n or_o emulation_n in_o heaven_n yet_o methinks_v the_o meditation_n of_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o great_a spur_n and_o incentive_a to_o piety_n virtue_n and_o good_a work_n here_o on_o earth_n certain_o it_o ought_v to_o make_v we_o abound_v in_o all_o the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v capable_a of_o the_o great_a manifestation_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n since_o those_o that_o be_v most_o diligent_a in_o his_o service_n since_o those_o that_o be_v the_o most_o pious_a and_o virtuous_a in_o this_o world_n will_v be_v the_o most_o glorious_a and_o excellent_a in_o the_o other_o and_o those_o that_o be_v most_o worthy_a will_v be_v most_o belove_v of_o god_n and_o receive_v the_o great_a evidence_n and_o demonstration_n of_o his_o affection_n the_o consideration_n of_o it_o shall_v put_v we_o upon_o vigorous_a endeavour_n after_o a_o mighty_a holiness_n and_o virtue_n that_o we_o may_v be_v the_o object_n of_o god_n choice_n and_o peculiar_a love_n in_o heaven_n 17._o it_o be_v a_o question_n controvert_v among_o divine_n whether_o the_o bless_a have_v any_o knowledge_n of_o each_o other_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o i_o humble_o conceive_v that_o from_o what_o i_o have_v say_v in_o the_o foregoing_a page_n it_o will_v not_o be_v difficult_a to_o resolve_v it_o so_o long_o a_o tract_n of_o time_n as_o eternity_n may_v minister_v sundry_a occasion_n and_o opportunity_n to_o friend_n and_o relation_n for_o the_o know_v of_o each_o other_o and_o since_o it_o be_v not_o spend_v in_o solitude_n and_o retirement_n but_o in_o mutual_a presence_n society_n and_o conversation_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a almost_o that_o they_o shall_v escape_v the_o knowledge_n of_o one_o another_o 18._o the_o memory_n and_o narration_n of_o the_o mighty_a work_n and_o providence_n of_o god_n of_o which_o they_o have_v knowledge_n in_o this_o world_n will_v bring_v man_n to_o the_o cognizance_n of_o each_o other_o there_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a memory_n in_o man_n there_o be_v a_o sensitive_a and_o a_o intellectual_a memory_n the_o first_o of_o these_o depend_v upon_o those_o idea_n and_o similitude_n of_o thing_n that_o by_o the_o mediation_n of_o our_o sense_n have_v be_v impress_v upon_o our_o mind_n the_o other_o depend_v of_o such_o thing_n as_o by_o reason_n and_o discourse_n be_v fix_v
