their_o good_a in_o the_o former_a be_v signify_v his_o great_a desire_n to_o remove_v out_o of_o the_o body_n and_o to_o dwell_v with_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o latter_a be_v signify_v his_o great_a desire_n to_o abide_v in_o the_o body_n for_o their_o furtherance_n and_o joy_n of_o their_o faith_n unto_o the_o former_a his_o love_n towards_o christ_n constrain_v he_o unto_o the_o latter_a his_o love_n towards_o they_o constrain_v he_o for_o the_o former_a it_o be_v best_a for_o he_o for_o the_o latter_a it_o be_v most_o needful_a for_o they_o and_o thus_o between_o the_o former_a and_o the_o latter_a he_o be_v so_o perplex_v that_o he_o know_v not_o what_o to_o choose_v life_n or_o death_n death_n for_o his_o own_o present_a good_a or_o life_n for_o their_o further_a good_a now_o the_o thing_n which_o in_o the_o former_a reason_n i_o note_n be_v that_o the_o apostle_n desire_v even_o with_o a_o great_a desire_n to_o be_v loose_v from_o the_o prison_n of_o his_o body_n or_o to_o depart_v out_o of_o the_o body_n and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n where_o he_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o count_v this_o better_a for_o he_o in_o respect_n of_o himself_o then_o to_o live_v in_o the_o body_n whence_o i_o observe_v that_o a_o christian_a in_o respect_n of_o himself_o be_v rather_o to_o desire_v to_o die_v then_o to_o live_v to_o depart_v out_o of_o the_o body_n then_o to_o abide_v in_o the_o body_n unto_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o point_n out_o of_o this_o place_n add_v also_o that_o other_o of_o our_o apostle_n where_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n and_o in_o the_o same_o word_n almost_o he_o say_v thus_o we_o love_v rather_o to_o remove_v out_o of_o the_o body_n 5.8_o 2_o cor_fw-la 5.8_o and_o to_o dwell_v with_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o good_a old_a simeon_n you_o know_v when_o once_o he_o have_v see_v the_o messiah_n which_o be_v promise_v than_o he_o desire_v with_o all_o his_o heart_n to_o die_v say_v 2.29_o luc_n 2.29_o lord_n now_o let_v thou_o thy_o servant_n depart_v in_o peace_n for_o my_o eye_n have_v see_v thy_o salvation_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v now_o that_o i_o have_v see_v the_o promise_a messiah_n the_o sweet_a saviour_n of_o the_o world_n now_o indeed_o i_o desire_v rather_o to_o die_v then_o to_o live_v yea_o but_o be_v it_o not_o a_o great_a fault_n in_o job_n that_o he_o desire_v rather_o to_o die_v then_o to_o live_v when_o in_o the_o bitterness_n of_o his_o soul_n he_o cry_v and_o faid_fw-we why_o die_v i_o not_o in_o my_o birth_n 7.15_o job._n 3.11.6_o 9_o 7.15_o or_o why_o die_v i_o not_o when_o i_o come_v out_o of_o the_o womb_n o_o that_o god_n will_v destroy_v i_o that_o he_o will_v let_v his_o hand_n go_v and_o cut_v i_o off_o my_o soul_n choose_v rather_o to_o be_v strangle_v and_o to_o die_v then_o to_o be_v in_o my_o bone_n yes_o indeed_o this_o be_v a_o great_a fault_n in_o job_n thus_o in_o impatiency_n to_o break_v out_o and_o to_o search_v for_o death_n more_o than_o for_o treasure_n neither_o be_v any_o man_n be_v his_o cross_n or_o trouble_v never_o so_o great_a never_o so_o many_o through_o impatiency_n and_o because_o he_o be_v weary_a of_o his_o life_n to_o wish_v rather_o to_o die_v then_o to_o live_v much_o less_o be_v he_o with_o curse_a achitophel_n or_o traitorous_a judas_n to_o become_v his_o own_o butcher_n and_o to_o cut_v off_o his_o own_o day_n for_o this_o be_v to_o repine_v against_o the_o high_a and_o to_o take_v our_o own_o matter_n out_o of_o god_n into_o our_o own_o hand_n a_o christian_a therefore_o in_o respect_n of_o himself_o be_v to_o desire_n rather_o to_o die_v then_o to_o live_v but_o in_o no_o sort_n through_o impatiency_n or_o because_o he_o be_v weary_a of_o his_o life_n yea_o but_o be_v not_o death_n terrible_a even_o unto_o the_o godly_a and_o do_v they_o not_o oftentimes_o so_o shrink_v thereat_o that_o they_o be_v afraid_a of_o it_o yes_o sure_o death_n in_o itself_o and_o in_o it_o own_o nature_n be_v so_o terrible_a that_o david_n be_v in_o great_a heaviness_n and_o distress_n by_o reason_n of_o saul_n cruelty_n express_v it_o thus_o say_v 55.5_o psal_n 55.5_o the_o terror_n of_o death_n be_v fall_v upon_o i_o whereby_o he_o mean_v that_o he_o be_v so_o afraid_a of_o his_o enemy_n as_o if_o death_n have_v be_v ready_a to_o seize_v upon_o he_o and_o sure_o but_o for_o christ_n jesus_n that_o he_o have_v season_v it_o and_o that_o through_o he_o it_o be_v but_o a_o passage_n unto_o a_o better_a life_n we_o may_v all_o of_o we_o even_o the_o best_a of_o we_o well_o fear_v death_n as_o the_o fruit_n of_o sin_n and_o as_o the_o reward_n or_o wage_n of_o sin_n how_o then_o do_v we_o say_v that_o a_o christian_a in_o respect_n of_o himself_o be_v to_o desire_n rather_o to_o die_v then_o to_o live_v we_o must_v understand_v that_o a_o christian_n be_v to_o desire_v rather_o to_o die_v then_o to_o live_v but_o how_o not_o simple_o rather_o to_o die_v then_o to_o live_v but_o so_o as_o paul_n do_v rather_o to_o die_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n then_o to_o live_v he_o do_v not_o say_v to_o die_v and_o to_o be_v ride_v out_o of_o the_o misery_n of_o this_o life_n for_o so_o many_o desire_n who_o desire_n be_v not_o good_a and_o for_o who_o it_o be_v better_a rather_o to_o live_v in_o the_o body_n then_o to_o die_v but_o he_o say_v to_o die_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n be_v we_o not_o then_o while_o we_o live_v here_o in_o the_o body_n with_o christ_n and_o christ_n with_o we_o if_o we_o will_v speak_v as_o the_o scripture_n usual_o do_v we_o be_v not_o while_o we_o live_v here_o in_o the_o body_n we_o be_v in_o christ_n by_o his_o spirit_n and_o christ_n in_o we_o by_o faith_n as_o appear_v by_o many_o place_n of_o holy_a scripture_n but_o in_o the_o usual_a phrase_n of_o the_o scripture_n then_o principal_o we_o be_v faid_fw-we to_o be_v with_o christ_n when_o after_o the_o separation_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n we_o do_v in_o soul_n enjoy_v the_o continual_a presence_n of_o christ_n in_o heaven_n where_o he_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n even_o as_o the_o apostle_n witness_v where_o he_o say_v while_o we_o be_v at_o home_n in_o the_o body_n we_o be_v absent_a from_o the_o lord_n 5.6_o 2_o cor._n 5.6_o not_o from_o be_v in_o the_o lord_n but_o from_o dwell_v with_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o heavenly_a place_n so_o that_o first_o our_o earthly_a house_n of_o this_o tabernacle_n must_v be_v destroy_v before_o we_o can_v be_v with_o christ_n where_o he_o be_v as_o he_o be_v man_n when_o then_o we_o say_v that_o a_o christian_a in_o respect_n of_o himself_o be_v to_o desire_n rather_o to_o die_v then_o to_o live_v the_o meaning_n be_v that_o he_o be_v rather_o to_o desire_v the_o separation_n of_o his_o soul_n from_o his_o body_n and_o in_o soul_n to_o be_v with_o christ_n where_o he_o be_v as_o man_n till_o he_o may_v both_o in_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v there_o with_o he_o for_o ever_o then_o to_o live_v in_o the_o body_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v plain_a and_o clear_a as_o first_o because_o christ_n be_v the_o husband_n and_o we_o the_o spouse_n if_o we_o belong_v unto_o christ_n as_o than_o it_o be_v better_a for_o the_o spouse_n to_o live_v with_o her_o husband_n then_o to_o live_v apart_o from_o her_o husband_n 5.32_o eph._n 5.32_o so_o be_v it_o better_o for_o we_o to_o be_v loose_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n then_o to_o live_v in_o the_o body_n second_o because_o heaven_n be_v our_o home_n and_o here_o we_o be_v but_o pilgrim_n and_o stranger_n as_o than_o it_o be_v better_a to_o be_v at_o home_o then_o where_o we_o be_v but_o pilgrim_n and_o stranger_n 11.13_o heb._n 11.13_o so_o be_v it_o better_o for_o we_o to_o be_v loose_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n then_o to_o live_v in_o the_o body_n three_o because_o it_o be_v better_a for_o the_o soul_n to_o be_v join_v unto_o christ_n then_o unto_o a_o sinful_a body_n for_o as_o david_n say_v of_o mesech_n and_o of_o the_o tent_n of_o kedar_n woe_n be_v i_o that_o i_o be_o constrain_v to_o dwell_v in_o mesech_n ●_o psal_n 120._o ●_o and_o to_o have_v my_o habitation_n among_o the_o tent_n of_o kedar_n so_o may_v the_o soul_n say_v of_o the_o body_n woe_n be_v i_o that_o i_o be_o constrain_v to_o dwell_v in_o this_o sinful_a body_n better_a it_o be_v for_o i_o to_o be_v join_v unto_o christ_n 4._o because_o the_o body_n be_v as_o a_o prison_n of_o the_o soul_n wherein_o it_o want_v free_a liberty_n to_o do_v what_o
blessing_n of_o health_n wealth_n strength_n liberty_n and_o the_o like_a so_o far_o as_o he_o see_v it_o to_o be_v good_a and_o needful_a for_o us._n so_o that_o in_o the_o blessing_n of_o grace_n all_o these_o thing_n be_v give_v as_o in_o the_o cause_n now_o in_o the_o blessing_n of_o peace_n be_v give_v all_o the_o good_a thing_n themselves_o which_v proceed_v from_o that_o cause_n whether_o they_o be_v spiritual_a grace_n or_o temporal_a blessing_n for_o so_o i_o understand_v and_o conceive_v hereof_o that_o in_o the_o blessing_n of_o peace_n be_v give_v all_o thing_n whatsoever_o be_v either_o certain_a token_n or_o probable_a sign_n of_o peace_n with_o god_n so_o that_o the_o spiritual_a grace_n of_o god_n be_v certain_a token_n of_o our_o peace_n with_o god_n and_o the_o temporal_a blessing_n of_o god_n be_v probable_a sign_n thereof_o as_o adversity_n and_o trouble_n be_v probable_a sign_n unto_o man_n of_o god_n displeasure_n even_o all_o these_o be_v give_v in_o the_o blessing_n of_o peace_n what_o blessing_n then_o of_o god_n can_v we_o wish_v or_o pray_v for_o to_o our_o brethren_n which_o be_v not_o treasure_v up_o in_o the_o blessing_n of_o grace_n and_o peace_n the_o one_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o good_a thing_n and_o the_o other_o be_v the_o good_a thing_n themselves_o the_o one_o release_n we_o from_o sin_n the_o other_o free_v we_o from_o a_o evil_a conscience_n the_o only_a two_o fiend_n that_o trouble_v and_o torment_v we_o will_v you_o then_o learn_v in_o a_o brief_a and_o short_a sum_n to_o comprehend_v whatsoever_o blessing_n be_v needful_a to_o be_v pray_v for_o for_o your_o brethren_n i_o think_v you_o will_v be_v willing_a for_o long_a prayer_n either_o for_o they_o or_o for_o yourselves_o be_v very_o wearisome_a unto_o you_o pray_v then_o for_o grace_n and_o peace_n unto_o they_o first_o for_o grace_n then_o for_o peace_n for_o unto_o who_o grace_n be_v give_v peace_n shall_v be_v grant_v but_o if_o grace_n be_v not_o first_o peace_n shall_v not_o follow_v no_o more_o than_o the_o stream_n run_v where_o the_o fountain_n be_v dry_v up_o 2._o in_o this_o apostolical_a salutation_n i_o observe_v a_o most_o evident_a testimony_n of_o the_o apostle_n love_v towards_o the_o philippian_n and_o consequent_o of_o their_o love_n towards_o their_o brethren_n that_o use_v it_o for_o belove_a how_o can_v i_o give_v a_o better_a testimony_n of_o my_o love_n towards_o you_o then_o if_o with_o the_o apostle_n i_o say_v unto_o you_o grace_n be_v with_o you_o and_o peace_n from_o god_n our_o father_n etc._n etc._n can_v i_o pray_v better_o for_o you_o then_o when_o i_o pray_v that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n may_v abound_v towards_o you_o that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n may_v be_v manifest_a in_o you_o can_v i_o wish_v you_o better_o than_o when_o i_o wish_v that_o you_o may_v have_v peace_n with_o god_n peace_n within_o yourselves_o &_o peace_n one_o with_o another_o can_v i_o desire_v better_a thing_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n for_o you_o then_o that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n may_v continual_o prevent_v and_o follow_v you_o and_o that_o thence_o all_o spiritual_a grace_n and_o temporal_a blessing_n may_v be_v minister_v unto_o you_o both_o for_o this_o life_n and_o that_o that_o be_v to_o come_v or_o can_v my_o affection_n of_o love_n be_v more_o inflame_v towards_o you_o than_o when_o thus_o i_o pour_v out_o my_o soul_n for_o you_o that_o so_o by_o grace_n you_o may_v be_v release_v from_o sin_n and_o the_o punishment_n thereof_o and_o by_o peace_n from_o the_o pitiful_a throb_v of_o a_o torment_a conscience_n do_v not_o moses_n and_o josua_n and_o samuel_n and_o david_n and_o daniel_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o prophet_n thus_o manifest_v their_o love_n unto_o the_o people_n of_o god_n by_o pray_v for_o they_o and_o wish_v all_o good_a thing_n unto_o they_o do_v not_o our_o bless_a saviour_n thus_o show_v his_o love_n towards_o his_o apostle_n and_o all_o they_o that_o shall_v believe_v through_o their_o preach_n when_o he_o make_v that_o long_a prayer_n for_o they_o 17._o joh._n 17._o and_o thus_o shall_v we_o testify_v our_o love_n unto_o our_o brethren_n even_o by_o christian_a salutation_n holy_a prayer_n and_o hearty_a wish_n for_o grace_n and_o peace_n unto_o they_o from_o god_n etc._n etc._n but_o such_o testimony_n be_v not_o now_o common_a nay_o he_o that_o shall_v now_o give_v such_o a_o testimony_n of_o his_o love_n unto_o any_o of_o his_o brethren_n by_o such_o a_o form_n of_o salutation_n he_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o be_v note_v for_o his_o pain_n and_o odious_o to_o be_v traduce_v whereof_o as_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n so_o neither_o do_v i_o think_v it_o meet_v that_o this_o be_v the_o form_n of_o

contention_n and_o division_n among_o we_o be_v it_o not_o so_o that_o we_o wound_v &_o kill_v one_o another_o if_o not_o with_o sword_n yet_o with_o tongue_n whet_v like_o sword_n fasten_v lie_n and_o slander_n and_o suspicion_n one_o upon_o another_o be_v it_o not_o so_o that_o we_o rather_o eat_v and_o devour_v one_o another_o then_o wish_v one_o a_o other_o good_a yes_o sure_o the_o godly_a man_n may_v now_o sorrow_n with_o david_n and_o say_v woe_n be_v i_o that_o i_o be_o constrain_v to_o dwell_v with_o mesech_n 120.4.5.6_o psal_n 120.4.5.6_o and_o to_o have_v my_o habitation_n among_o the_o tent_n of_o kedar_n my_o soul_n have_v long_o dwell_v among_o they_o that_o be_v enemy_n unto_o peace_n i_o labour_v for_o peace_n but_o when_o i_o speak_v unto_o they_o thereof_o they_o make_v they_o ready_a to_o battle_n and_o be_v it_o so_o with_o we_o and_o can_v we_o say_v that_o we_o be_v so_o affection_a one_o unto_o another_o as_o that_o we_o wish_v grace_n and_o peace_n from_o god_n one_o unto_o another_o nay_o well_o may_v we_o flatter_v ourselves_o but_o in_o truth_n we_o can_v say_v so_o for_o as_o they_o only_o love_v god_n that_o love_n their_o brethren_n so_o they_o only_o wish_v peace_n from_o god_n unto_o their_o brethren_n that_o love_n to_o live_v in_o peace_n with_o their_o brethren_n belove_a we_o be_v brethren_n why_o shall_v we_o then_o strive_v one_o with_o another_o why_o then_o shall_v there_o be_v heartburning_n in_o one_o against_o another_o rather_o we_o shall_v be_v at_o peace_n one_o with_o another_o and_o wish_v grace_n and_o peace_n from_o god_n one_o unto_o another_o thus_o do_v the_o apostle_n and_o herein_o leave_v a_o example_n for_o we_o to_o follow_v that_o as_o he_o walk_v in_o love_n towards_o all_o the_o saint_n in_o christ_n jesus_n so_o we_o also_o shall_v walk_v in_o love_n one_o towards_o a_o other_o let_v therefore_o the_o same_o mind_n be_v in_o we_o that_o be_v in_o our_o apostle_n and_o let_v we_o from_o our_o very_a soul_n wish_v grace_n and_o peace_n from_o god_n one_o unto_o another_o let_v our_o greeting_n be_v with_o holy_a prayer_n for_o abundance_n of_o all_o the_o lord_n mercy_n unto_o our_o brethren_n and_o so_o let_v we_o testify_v our_o love_a affection_n towards_o they_o 3._o in_o this_o apostolical_a salutation_n i_o observe_v a_o brief_a sum_n of_o christian_a religion_n in_o the_o use_n whereof_o we_o show_v forth_o a_o most_o notable_a testimony_n of_o our_o faith_n i_o can_v only_o note_v the_o point_n of_o christianity_n brief_o which_o it_o contain_v and_o must_v leave_v the_o serious_a consideration_n and_o meditation_n of_o they_o unto_o yourselves_o the_o 1._o point_n be_v that_o all_o blessing_n whether_o spiritual_a grace_n or_o temporal_a blessing_n bestow_v upon_o we_o be_v from_o god_n the_o father_n by_o jesus_n christ_n his_o son_n so_o also_o say_v the_o apostle_n james_n say_v every_o good_a give_v and_o every_o perfect_a gift_n be_v from_o above_o 1.17_o jam._n 1.17_o and_o come_v down_o from_o the_o father_n of_o light_n with_o who_o be_v no_o variableness_n neither_o shadow_v by_o turn_v and_o so_o we_o confess_v when_o we_o pray_v for_o grace_n and_o peace_n whereby_o all_o blessing_n be_v signify_v unto_o our_o brethren_n from_o god_n our_o father_n etc._n etc._n his_o name_n therefore_o for_o every_o blessing_n we_o have_v be_v to_o be_v bless_v and_o praise_v for_o ever_o and_o that_o song_n of_o david_n be_v of_o all_o god_n child_n to_o be_v take_v up_o praise_v thou_o the_o lord_n o_o my_o soul_n 103._o psal_n 103._o and_o all_o that_o be_v within_o i_o praise_v his_o holy_a name_n praise_v the_o lord_n o_o my_o soul_n and_o forget_v not_o all_o his_o benefit_n etc._n etc._n the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o only_a god_n be_v to_o be_v pray_v unto_o
