where_o attribute_v to_o patriarch_n prophet_n and_o apostle_n etc._n etc._n when_o their_o glorification_n be_v express_v by_o their_o sit_v down_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o that_o of_o other_o saint_n by_o their_o sit_v down_o with_o they_o in_o allusion_n to_o the_o eastern_a manner_n of_o feast_v this_o privilege_n of_o a_o more_o eminent_a seat_n be_v particular_o assign_v to_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n by_o our_o saviour_n when_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o many_o shall_v come_v from_o the_o 8.11_o east_n and_o the_o west_n and_o shall_v sit_v down_o with_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o so_o again_o to_o the_o apostle_n very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o that_o you_o 19.28_o which_o have_v follow_v i_o in_o the_o regeneration_n when_o the_o son_n of_o man_n shall_v sit_v in_o the_o throne_n of_o his_o glory_n you_o also_o shall_v sit_v upon_o twelve_o throne_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o this_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o apostle_n only_o and_o not_o of_o his_o disciple_n at_o large_a because_o of_o the_o twelve_o throne_n and_o why_o shall_v twelve_o of_o they_o only_o be_v specify_v if_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v throne_n of_o a_o high_a order_n or_o what_o extraordinary_a will_v our_o saviour_n have_v promise_v to_o his_o disciple_n and_o this_o be_v further_a confirm_v by_o st._n john_n who_o in_o the_o description_n of_o the_o heavenly_a jerusalem_n make_v the_o twelve_o apostle_n the_o foundation_n of_o the_o city_n and_o the_o 21.14_o wall_n of_o the_o city_n say_v he_o have_v twelve_o foundation_n and_o in_o they_o the_o name_n of_o the_o twelve_o apostle_n of_o the_o lamb._n a_o place_n exact_o parallel_v to_o that_o of_o the_o twelve_o throne_n to_o dispatch_v all_o in_o a_o word_n the_o condition_n of_o saint_n in_o glory_n be_v express_v in_o scripture_n by_o their_o be_v make_v like_o like_a unto_o the_o angel_n and_o it_o be_v of_o itself_o 22.30_o reasonable_a to_o think_v that_o the_o same_o general_a order_n and_o proportion_n shall_v be_v observe_v in_o both_o these_o son_n of_o god_n angel_n and_o men._n but_o now_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o the_o angel_n have_v their_o different_a order_n and_o hierarchy_n be_v distinguish_v into_o throne_n and_o dominion_n principality_n and_o power_n and_o into_o angel_n and_o arch-angel_n and_o that_o some_o of_o they_o sit_v near_o to_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n than_o other_o whereupon_o the_o talmudist_n call_v michael_n the_o archangel_n the_o prince_n of_o face_n or_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o presence_n be_v as_o they_o say_v so_o near_o to_o the_o king_n of_o heaven_n as_o to_o be_v admit_v to_o sit_v down_o by_o he_o and_o register_v the_o good_a action_n of_o the_o israelite_n and_o say_v the_o angel_n gabriel_n of_o himself_o i_o be_o gabriel_n that_o stand_v 1.19_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n he_o distinguish_v himself_o as_o much_o by_o his_o station_n as_o by_o his_o name_n and_o the_o vision_n of_o isaia_n represent_v one_o of_o the_o angelic_a order_n cover_v their_o face_n with_o their_o wing_n which_o suppose_v they_o to_o be_v near_o than_o ordinary_a to_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n so_o as_o not_o to_o be_v able_a to_o abide_v the_o glory_n of_o it_o without_o the_o help_n of_o a_o veil_n since_o therefore_o there_o be_v such_o a_o variety_n in_o the_o angelical_a station_n and_o our_o future_a condition_n be_v general_o represent_v by_o they_o this_o alone_o be_v enough_o to_o put_v we_o upon_o think_v that_o our_o glorification_n must_v admit_v of_o the_o like_a gradual_a diversity_n and_o it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o natural_a order_n and_o decency_n seem_v to_o require_v that_o the_o member_n of_o christ_n mystical_a body_n shall_v retain_v the_o same_o diversity_n in_o the_o other_o world_n that_o st._n paul_n ascribe_v to_o 12._o they_o in_o this_o that_o there_o shall_v still_o be_v a_o eye_n and_o a_o hand_n a_o head_n and_o a_o foot_n more_o honourable_a and_o less_o honourable_a part_n whereof_o the_o natural_a heaven_n exhibit_v a_o very_a convenient_a emblem_n in_o which_o one_o star_n differ_v from_o another_o star_n in_o glory_n and_o after_o all_o though_o there_o be_v no_o plain_a proof_n to_o be_v have_v for_o this_o yet_o there_o be_v such_o a_o obvious_a congruity_n in_o the_o thing_n as_o will_v convince_v where_o it_o can_v not_o silence_v and_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o man_n though_o never_o so_o forward_o to_o raise_v objection_n against_o what_o have_v be_v contend_v for_o and_o to_o equalise_v the_o glory_n of_o heaven_n for_o the_o other_o world_n have_v its_o leveller_n as_o well_o as_o this_o that_o can_v yet_o obtain_v leave_n of_o his_o own_o modesty_n to_o expect_v as_o bright_a a_o crown_n as_o the_o virgin_n mary_n or_o st._n paul_n have_v thus_o far_o assert_v the_o different_a degree_n of_o glory_n which_o i_o have_v the_o long_o insist_v upon_o because_o it_o be_v a_o very_a practical_a as_o well_o as_o notional_a theory_n be_v of_o great_a consequence_n to_o the_o encouragement_n of_o heroic_a goodness_n i_o come_v now_o to_o consider_v the_o second_o thing_n propose_v that_o one_o of_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o glory_n shall_v be_v the_o reward_n of_o those_o who_o suffer_v persecution_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o righteousness_n that_o be_v of_o martyr_n and_o here_o for_o the_o eviction_n of_o this_o have_v already_o show_v that_o there_o be_v degree_n of_o glory_n in_o proportion_n to_o the_o degree_n of_o virtue_n i_o think_v it_o will_v suffice_v to_o show_v that_o martyrdom_n be_v one_o of_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o virtue_n for_o the_o argument_n reduce_v to_o form_n will_v stand_v thus_o a_o high_a degree_n of_o virtue_n shall_v have_v a_o high_a degree_n of_o glory_n but_o martyrdom_n be_v a_o high_a degree_n of_o virtue_n therefore_o martyrdom_n shall_v have_v a_o high_a degree_n of_o glory_n the_o first_o proposition_n be_v what_o we_o have_v be_v prove_v hitherto_o to_o infer_v the_o conclusion_n therefore_o there_o needs_o only_o a_o proof_n of_o the_o second_o here_o therefore_o my_o business_n shall_v be_v to_o give_v a_o short_a representation_n of_o the_o excellency_n of_o martyrdom_n the_o honour_n of_o martyrdom_n be_v so_o great_a in_o the_o primitive_a church_n that_o even_o the_o commonness_n of_o it_o which_o depretiate_v every_o thing_n else_o can_v not_o diminish_v from_o its_o veneration_n it_o be_v then_o think_v of_o so_o great_a excellence_n as_o to_o supply_v the_o room_n of_o baptism_n and_o the_o new_a convert_n who_o early_a and_o sudden_a execution_n prevent_v his_o solemn_a admission_n into_o the_o christian_a church_n be_v yet_o esteem_v a_o very_a good_a member_n of_o christ_n mystical_a body_n and_o number_v with_o his_o best_a saint_n in_o glory_n everlasting_a the_o same_o honour_n to_o martyr_n make_v they_o choose_v their_o tomb_n for_o the_o place_n of_o their_o devotion_n and_o god_n himself_o be_v please_v to_o signalise_v his_o special_a regard_n to_o these_o his_o saint_n and_o to_o show_v how_o precious_a their_o death_n 4._o be_v in_o his_o sight_n by_o make_v the_o place_n of_o their_o rest_n the_o stage_n of_o his_o miracle_n nor_o be_v there_o any_o thing_n in_o all_o this_o more_o strange_a and_o extraordinary_a than_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o virtue_n itself_o which_o be_v thus_o honour_v a_o general_a representation_n of_o which_o be_v thus_o give_v by_o the_o pen_n of_o a_o celebrate_a writer_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n a_o church_n which_o 336_o by_o the_o way_n have_v make_v more_o martyr_n and_o have_v few_o than_o any_o in_o the_o world_n but_o she_o have_v deal_v long_o enough_o in_o blood_n to_o be_v able_a to_o form_v a_o idea_n of_o martyrdom_n from_o the_o martyr_n which_o she_o have_v make_v we_o see_v say_v one_o of_o her_o son_n nothing_o in_o the_o church_n more_o noble_a than_o martyrdom_n it_o be_v the_o high_a jorm_n of_o virtue_n the_o last_o expression_n of_o charity_n and_o when_o a_o man_n have_v shed_v his_o blood_n and_o part_v with_o his_o life_n for_o jesus_n christ_n there_o be_v not_o any_o instance_n that_o can_v further_o be_v expect_v from_o his_o love_n just_o therefore_o may_v we_o acknowledge_v nothing_o more_o august_n in_o religion_n than_o martyr_n they_o be_v the_o hero_n of_o christianity_n the_o gallant_a man_n of_o this_o state_n the_o noble_a part_n of_o this_o mystical_a body_n there_o be_v no_o greatness_n that_o give_v not_o way_n to_o their_o dignity_n whatever_o we_o admire_v be_v below_o their_o worth_n and_o according_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o one_o of_o the_o wise_a father_n of_o the_o church_n he_o mean_v st._n cyprian_n it_o be_v more_o to_o be_v a_o martyr_n than_o to_o be_v a_o apostle_n neither_o have_v any_o thing_n be_v ever_o more_o honour_a in_o
