because_o he_o will_v not_o have_v his_o creature_n wear_v out_o with_o a_o tedious_a misery_n and_o transitory_a vanity_n a_o vanity_n of_o misery_n that_o be_v in_o this_o vain_a miserable_a life_n of_o mortality_n i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o four_o a_o five_o thing_n that_o follow_v in_o the_o text_n that_o i_o may_v haste_v on_o we_o have_v hope_n we_o have_v hope_n in_o christ_n we_o have_v hope_n in_o christ_n in_o this_o life_n our_o hope_n in_o this_o life_n be_v not_o upon_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n for_o if_o it_o be_v in_o this_o life_n only_o it_o be_v miserable_a our_o life_n be_v a_o misery_n misery_n there_o be_v the_o five_o and_o this_o be_v a_o certain_a truth_n and_o it_o will_v plain_o appear_v to_o we_o in_o many_o passage_n if_o we_o will_v believe_v either_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n or_o the_o experience_n of_o the_o godly_a i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o stand_v to_o proveit_v you_o will_v ask_v i_o how_o it_o will_v be_v raise_v from_o this_o

all_o the_o rest_n be_v miserable_a more_o or_o less_o the_o very_a comparison_n that_o be_v use_v do_v manifest_o declare_v unto_o we_o that_o there_o be_v a_o measure_n of_o misery_n to_o every_o

that_o be_v in_o this_o life_n and_o of_o this_o life_n so_o long_o as_o they_o look_v to_o this_o life_n i_o say_v they_o be_v style_v miserable_a but_o the_o best_a thing_n even_o christ_n himself_o our_o hope_n itself_o say_v what_o you_o can_v here_o be_v hope_n and_o here_o be_v christ_n in_o the_o text_n and_o yet_o not_o withstand_v here_o be_v misery_n too_o now_o than_o we_o reason_v thus_o that_o if_o the_o best_a thing_n in_o this_o life_n be_v miserable_a than_o the_o rest_n be_v no_o better_o than_o so_o that_o the_o best_a be_v no_o better_o it_o be_v plain_a because_o let_v we_o have_v what_o we_o will_v have_v in_o all_o the_o world_n yet_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v here_o it_o be_v misery_n if_o this_o be_v so_o than_o we_o must_v come_v to_o the_o conclusion_n we_o
