answer_v the_o hope_n which_o god_n himself_o have_v draw_v we_o into_o and_o we_o may_v be_v most_o secure_a that_o he_o will_v not_o give_v such_o advantage_n to_o any_o creature_n to_o enter_v into_o judgement_n with_o he_o now_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o some_o of_o we_o have_v see_v in_o the_o interview_n perhaps_o of_o prince_n the_o coronation_n or_o marriage_n of_o king_n or_o on_o other_o occasion_n yet_o we_o have_v hear_v of_o more_o than_o we_o have_v see_v we_o have_v hear_v of_o the_o glory_n of_o solomon_n and_o many_o other_o great_a prince_n exceed_v what_o our_o time_n have_v to_o boast_v of_o and_o yet_o we_o can_v enlarge_v our_o thought_n to_o something_o above_o these_o and_o let_v our_o mind_n wander_v into_o the_o four_o corner_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o fetch_v in_o the_o glory_n and_o splendour_n of_o the_o world_n to_o make_v up_o to_o ourselves_o a_o idea_n of_o happiness_n and_o yet_o when_o we_o have_v frame_v such_o a_o utopia_n such_o a_o imaginary_a glory_n god_n who_o be_v too_o great_a and_o too_o good_a to_o deceive_v poor_a mortal_n have_v give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o his_o preparation_n for_o his_o saint_n be_v somewhat_o above_o all_o this_o and_o that_o eye_n have_v not_o see_v nor_o ear_n hear_v non_fw-la the_o heart_n of_o man_n conceive_v what_o he_o have_v lay_v up_o for_o those_o that_o love_v he_o in_o the_o next_o place_n let_v we_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v the_o bless_a state_n of_o angel_n which_o be_v first_o of_o more_o enlarge_v capacity_n than_o man_n and_o yet_o they_o find_v a_o perfect_a felicity_n therein_o we_o shall_v not_o make_v a_o judgement_n of_o the_o state_n and_o magnificence_n of_o a_o prince_n court_n by_o the_o report_n of_o some_o poor_a peasant_n who_o we_o may_v easy_o imagine_v will_v be_v ready_a to_o admire_v any_o thing_n which_o he_o shall_v see_v above_o the_o pomp_n of_o his_o landlord_n house_n where_o he_o use_v perhaps_o to_o labour_n or_o go_v sometime_o to_o pay_v some_o poor_a rent_n but_o we_o shall_v more_o easy_o believe_v some_o noble_a courtier_n of_o a_o more_o raise_v mind_n or_o some_o ambassador_n that_o have_v see_v the_o pomp_n of_o several_a prince_n court_n and_o know_v what_o belong_v to_o state_n and_o greatness_n it_o have_v be_v no_o great_a matter_n to_o have_v hear_v paul_n boast_v of_o what_o he_o see_v in_o paradise_n who_o be_v carry_v from_o these_o poor_a cottage_n of_o clay_n to_o the_o court_n of_o heaven_n like_o david_n from_o the_o sheepfold_a to_o saul_n court_n but_o the_o angel_n continual_o adore_v the_o glory_n of_o their_o king_n and_o sing_v perpetual_a hallelujah_n to_o he_o do_v easy_o persuade_v that_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o celestial_a court_n be_v far_o above_o what_o mortal_a eye_n ever_o see_v and_o beside_o the_o enlarge_a capacity_n of_o angel_n we_o may_v consider_v that_o they_o be_v incorporeal_a so_o that_o these_o corporeal_a delight_n and_o pleasure_n which_o we_o have_v the_o most_o clear_a and_o lively_a apprehension_n of_o make_v up_o none_o of_o their_o happiness_n but_o beside_o such_o delight_n which_o its_o likely_a we_o shall_v not_o want_v in_o heaven_n there_o be_v more_o pure_a and_o spiritual_a delight_n enough_o to_o make_v a_o angel_n happy_a which_o we_o can_v scarce_o conceive_v any_o thing_n of_o a_o further_a consideration_n which_o may_v argue_v the_o happiness_n of_o that_o future_a state_n be_v the_o greatness_n and_o glory_n of_o many_o wicked_a man_n here_o in_o this_o world_n let_v we_o but_o consider_v how_o the_o great_a one_o of_o the_o earth_n many_o of_o which_o have_v be_v wicked_a man_n do_v bash_v themselves_o continual_o in_o river_n of_o pleasure_n and_o enjoy_v for_o many_o year_n together_o whatever_o their_o heart_n can_v wish_v and_o what_o we_o ordinary_o see_v great_a one_o now_o enjoy_v be_v little_a to_o the_o glory_n of_o a_o belshazzer_n a_o darius_n a_o alexander_n a_o ner●_n the_o grand_a signior_n the_o king_n of_o china_n and_o yet_o all_o this_o be_v but_o as_o the_o crumb_n that_o fall_v from_o the_o child_n table_n what_o then_o can_v we_o imagine_v they_o to_o be_v feed_v with_o these_o be_v but_o the_o spilling_n or_o the_o overflowing_n of_o his_o bounty_n to_o his_o very_a enemy_n how_o great_a then_o be_v that_o which_o he_o have_v reserve_v for_o those_o to_o who_o he_o have_v purpose_v to_o show_v the_o exceed_a riches_n of_o his_o grace_n to_o give_v the_o world_n a_o proof_n of_o his_o bounty_n and_o glory_n as_o a_o prince_n that_o will_v make_v a_o entertainment_n for_o ostentation_n and_o show_v his_o great_a respect_n to_o some_o of_o his_o special_a and_o most_o belove_a friend_n we_o read_v often_o in_o scripture_n of_o the_o preparation_n that_o god_n have_v make_v for_o his_o saint_n which_o be_v but_o a_o metaphorical_a expression_n of_o the_o greatness_n of_o that_o glory_n which_o he_o have_v ordain_v they_o to_o as_o those_o entertainment_n which_o man_n do_v long_o prepare_v for_o do_v far_o exceed_v what_o they_o on_o a_o sudden_a make_v be_v unaware_o surprise_v by_o the_o come_n of_o their_o friend_n i_o will_v yet_o add_v another_o proof_n of_o the_o greatness_n of_o that_o glory_n which_o we_o hope_v for_o take_v from_o the_o fore-tasts_a which_o many_o have_v of_o it_o here_o which_o have_v make_v they_o glory_n in_o tribulation_n triumph_n in_o the_o flame_n and_o not_o only_o abate_v but_o whole_o take_v away_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o most_o exquisite_a torment_n that_o some_o martyr_n have_v feel_v no_o more_o in_o the_o fire_n than_o if_o they_o have_v be_v in_o a_o bed_n of_o rose_n some_o after_o long_a conflict_n and_o terror_n have_v have_v such_o ravish_a joy_n that_o they_o have_v cry_v to_o god_n to_o hold_v they_o can_v bear_v no_o more_o if_o such_o glimpse_n have_v so_o ravish_v they_o what_o be_v the_o full_a view_n and_o clear_a vision_n let_v we_o imagine_v a_o confection_n the_o least_o drop_n of_o which_o distil_v into_o a_o draught_n of_o gall_n or_o wormwood_n or_o whatever_o can_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v more_o bitter_a and_o distasteful_a shall_v whole_o alter_v the_o taste_n of_o it_o make_v it_o most_o please_a and_o delicious_a how_o sweet_a will_v a_o full_a draught_n of_o it_o be_v without_o the_o least_o mixture_n of_o any_o thing_n distasteful_a and_o unpleasing_a so_o if_o such_o drop_n of_o spiritual_a joy_n be_v able_a to_o sweeten_v the_o bitter_a cup_n of_o affliction_n what_o shall_v we_o think_v of_o bathe_v ourselves_o and_o drink_v our_o fill_n in_o those_o river_n of_o pleasure_n at_o god_n right_a hand_n for_o evermore_o without_o the_o least_o mixture_n of_o any_o sorrow_n or_o trouble_n to_o allay_v the_o sweetness_n thereof_o i_o have_v hitherto_o in_o general_n show_v that_o the_o glory_n of_o heaven_n be_v like_a to_o be_v very_o great_a and_o inconceivable_a much_o more_o inexpressible_a but_o i_o have_v not_o yet_o attempt_v to_o show_v what_o it_o be_v or_o wherein_o it_o consist_v and_o while_o i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v express_v if_o i_o shall_v go_v about_o to_o set_v it_o
