we_o he_o will_v be_v all_o thing_n to_o we_o himself_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v 1_o cor._n 14._o 18._o that_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n when_o christ_n shall_v give_v up_o the_o

i_o may_v compare_v these_o joy_n of_o heaven_n to_o those_o receipt_n which_o contain_v the_o very_a spirit_n of_o thing_n the_o very_a life_n and_o quintessence_n of_o thing_n extract_v out_o a_o

all_o the_o drug_n of_o worldly_a pleasure_n can_v administer_v unto_o we_o for_o all_o the_o happiness_n that_o can_v be_v have_v here_o nay_o further_a all_o the_o happiness_n god_n can_v create_v to_o man_n as_o man_n here_o on_o earth_n be_v but_o as_o one_o drop_n to_o the_o bottomless_a ocean_n of_o god_n glory_n and_o yet_o this_o fall_v short_a this_o be_v too_o scant_a a_o comparison_n
