we_o to_o remove_v both_o heaven_n and_o earth_n in_o quest_n of_o our_o repose_n if_o both_o of_o they_o fail_v we_o in_o the_o end_n so_o that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o find_v it_o and_o if_o

thereof_o render_v we_o incapable_a to_o repair_v our_o loss_n 19_o whatsoever_o action_n you_o do_v here_o below_o all_o the_o recompense_n that_o the_o world_n can_v give_v you_o for_o they_o can_v enrich_v you_o and_o if_o you_o do_v not_o take_v your_o aim_n beyond_o time_n all_o the_o hour_n thereof_o be_v fatal_a to_o you_o see_v every_o moment_n may_v sound_v your_o retreat_n but_o such_o a_o retreat_n as_o have_v no_o return_n 20._o undervalue_v all_o thing_n here_o below_o see_v all_o that_o you_o set_v your_o eye_n upon_o change_v countenance_n with_o you_o and_o let_v your_o

your_o mind_n from_o enjoy_v that_o rest_n which_o it_o desire_v 3._o consider_v that_o all_o sin_n carry_v their_o torment_n along_o with_o they_o and_o that_o god_n punish_v they_o in_o the_o thought_n aswell_o as_o in_o the_o will_n and_o that_o with_o a_o continual_a punishment_n see_v the_o remembrance_n of_o they_o be_v both_o the_o torment_n and_o executioner_n 4._o the_o sinner_n never_o take_v his_o pastime_n with_o delight_n because_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n pursue_v he_o always_o to_o punish_v he_o without_o intermission_n and_o mingle_v so_o many_o thorn_n among_o his_o rose_n that_o the_o sigh_n of_o his_o heart_n do_v often_o belie_v the_o cheerfulness_n of_o his_o countenance_n 5._o imagine_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o disturbance_n of_o a_o malefactor_n fain_o will_v he_o flee_v from_o his_o punishment_n but_o the_o thought_n of_o his_o crime_n do_v torment_v he_o incessant_o so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o sinner_n as_o god_n be_v every_o where_o so_o the_o sinner_n feel_v his_o justice_n in_o every_o place_n which_o keep_v his_o soul_n upon_o the_o rack_n by_o the_o remembrance_n of_o his_o sin_n 6._o think_v not_o to_o find_v any_o delight_n yea_o in_o your_o very_a pleasure_n have_v your_o soul_n contaminate_v with_o the_o stain_n of_o your_o crime_n god_n be_v please_v to_o change_v the_o nature_n of_o your_o contentment_n and_o to_o turn_v the_o subject_n of_o your_o consolation_n into_o that_o of_o your_o torment_n 7._o let_v the_o wicked_a man_n withhold_v no_o delightful_a thing_n from_o his_o sense_n and_o let_v voluptuousness_n be_v their_o nursing-mother_n her_o breast_n be_v always_o fill_v with_o bitterness_n to_o seed_v they_o see_v that_o by_o chastisement_n from_o above_o they_o find_v a_o unsavoury_a taste_n in_o the_o most_o delicious_a dish_n 8._o trust_v not_o to_o the_o testimony_n of_o wicked_a man_n for_o god_n lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o they_o to_o such_o a_o extremity_n as_o to_o make_v they_o insensible_a of_o his_o correction_n and_o as_o this_o stupidity_n be_v a_o mark_n of_o their_o reprobation_n so_o it_o witness_v before_o hand_n the_o eternity_n of_o the_o torment_n to_o which_o they_o be_v

proper_o belong_v unto_o it_o it_o be_v the_o effect_n and_o innocency_n the_o cause_n 10._o hell_n also_o follow_v sin_n unseparable_o so_o that_o sin_n cause_v its_o own_o torment_n in_o bring_v they_o forth_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o necessity_n of_o justice_n which_o do_v always_o punish_v it_o 11._o know_v for_o a_o truth_n that_o the_o repose_n of_o the_o conscience_n bring_v forth_o peace_n to_o the_o soul_n and_o as_o both_o these_o together_o make_v up_o a_o heaven_n upon_o earth_n so_o there_o be_v no_o other_o hell_n but_o that_o which_o consist_v in_o the_o privation_n of_o
