of_o it_o that_o we_o be_v perpetual_o ascend_v and_o climb_v up_o high_o still_o advance_v from_o one_o degree_n of_o goodness_n to_o another_o and_o continual_o aspire_v after_o a_o near_a

be_v not_o absolute_a but_o in_o comparison_n with_o our_o present_a state_n and_o i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o great_a reason_n to_o doubt_v but_o that_o the_o bless_a spirit_n above_o who_o

which_o be_v in_o heaven_n be_v perfect_a still_o aspire_v after_o a_o near_o and_o more_o perfect_a resemblance_n of_o god_n who_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n be_v so_o far_o beyond_o and_o before_o that_o of_o any_o creature_n that_o they_o may_v be_v for_o ever_o approach_v near_o to_o it_o and_o yet_o never_o overtake_v it_o and_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v no_o inconsiderable_a ingredient_n and_o enhancement_n of_o the_o happiness_n of_o heaven_n that_o the_o holiness_n of_o good_a man_n which_o be_v the_o similitude_n of_o god_n be_v never_o at_o a_o stand_n nor_o at_o its_o full_a

that_o in_o heaven_n we_o shall_v be_v liable_a to_o relapse_n to_o go_v backward_o or_o fall_v from_o that_o holy_a and_o happy_a state_n but_o this_o be_v a_o comfortable_a consideration_n that_o

be_v certain_a that_o a_o equality_n with_o god_n in_o any_o of_o his_o perfection_n be_v not_o to_o be_v attain_v by_o any_o creature_n and_o therefore_o can_v be_v think_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n
