infinite_a difference_n be_v there_o between_o these_o two_o state_n and_o how_o well_o must_v we_o needs_o think_v it_o worth_a all_o the_o pain_n and_o labour_n that_o we_o can_v take_v in_o this_o

and_o i_o speak_v now_o to_o those_o that_o do_v believe_v it_o that_o everlasting_a pain_n which_o the_o wicked_a will_v be_v condemn_v to_o be_v not_o a_o light_n or_o gentle_a pain_n but_o the_o

different_a state_n of_o man_n in_o that_o other_o and_o everlasting_a life_n that_o will_v begin_v when_o this_o be_v over_o i_o think_v i_o may_v fair_o ask_v again_o what_o god_n can_v have_v do_v more_o either_o to_o deter_v we_o from_o sin_n than_o to_o threaten_v hell_n torment_n to_o those_o that_o live_v in_o it_o or_o to_o encourage_v we_o to_o obedience_n than_o to_o promise_v to_o those_o that_o continue_v in_o well_o do_v the_o unspeakable_a happiness_n of_o heaven_n certain_o if_o these_o motive_n will_v not_o prevail_v upon_o we_o no_o other_o can_v be_v propose_v that_o will_v prevail_v nay_o further_o though_o i_o have_v hitherto_o speak_v to_o you_o as_o to_o christian_n which_o believe_v the_o scripture_n and_o that_o there_o will_v certain_o be_v another_o life_n after_o this_o even_o such_o a_o life_n as_o i_o have_v be_v speak_v of_o a_o everlasting_a life_n of_o perfect_a happiness_n or_o extreme_a misery_n yet_o if_o you_o have_v at_o all_o attend_v to_o

both_o i_o shall_v now_o dare_v to_o address_v myself_o to_o you_o even_o though_o i_o think_v you_o believe_v very_o little_a of_o these_o thing_n and_o methinks_v i_o shall_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o i_o may_v prevail_v with_o you_o and_o persuade_v you_o to_o repentance_n by_o these_o gospel_n motive_n of_o heaven_n and_o hell_n even_o although_o the_o revelation_n thereof_o be_v not_o certain_a and_o undoubted_a although_o there_o be_v some_o just_a reason_n to_o question_v the_o truth_n of_o they_o for_o put_v the_o case_n that_o it_o be_v very_o uncertain_a whether_o there_o will_v be_v a_o eternal_a life_n or_o no_o nay_o put_v the_o case_n that_o it_o be_v ten_o to_o one_o that_o it_o be_v much_o more_o probable_a that_o there_o will_v not_o be_v any_o such_o life_n after_o this_o yet_o when_o we_o consider_v what_o eternity_n be_v and_o what_o a_o vast_a difference_n there_o be_v between_o live_v in_o perfect_a joy_n and_o in_o everlasting_a burn_a and_o when_o

by_o the_o strict_a holiness_n and_o virtue_n even_o the_o bare_a possibility_n that_o there_o will_v be_v a_o eternal_a life_n though_o we_o have_v no_o certain_a revelation_n and_o no_o other_o very_o good_a assurance_n give_v we_o of_o it_o will_v be_v abundant_o sufficient_a to_o deter_v we_o from_o sin_n and_o to_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o well-doing_n for_o if_o we_o live_v well_o here_o and_o there_o be_v real_o a_o eternal_a life_n it_o will_v be_v happy_a for_o we_o that_o we_o have_v make_v this_o preparation_n for_o it_o but_o if_o there_o shall_v indeed_o be_v no_o other_o

even_o a_o much_o great_a uncertainty_n whether_o there_o will_v be_v a_o eternal_a life_n after_o this_o yet_o when_o we_o consider_v what_o a_o eternal_a life_n be_v when_o we_o consider_v that_o

the_o evil_a thing_n which_o it_o threaten_v to_o deter_v we_o from_o sin_n be_v as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o they_o the_o great_a that_o we_o be_v capable_a of_o enjoy_v or_o suffer_v and_o consequent_o the_o most_o probable_a to_o raise_v our_o hope_n and_o to_o excite_v our_o fear_n to_o the_o high_a pitch_n for_o the_o argument_n that_o do_v most_o strong_o persuade_v we_o to_o any_o
