the_o church_n militant_a yet_o that_o they_o pray_v for_o particular_a person_n or_o in_o particular_a case_n or_o that_o they_o pray_v as_o mediator_n or_o that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v pray_v to_o themselves_o all_o this_o we_o utter_o deny_v but_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n unquestionable_a that_o they_o adore_v the_o god_n of_o heaven_n in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o be_v suitable_a to_o a_o state_n of_o bliss_n and_o perfection_n admire_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o nature_n extol_v his_o majesty_n praise_v he_o continual_o and_o never_o rest_v from_o give_v he_o thanks_o for_o the_o infinite_a

like_a for_o though_o this_o be_v a_o visionary_a representation_n not_o a_o set_a history_n of_o the_o particular_a state_n of_o heaven_n yet_o the_o analogy_n it_o bear_v to_o it_o plain_o show_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o just_a man_n make_v perfect_a do_v with_o the_o bless_a angel_n make_v up_o one_o heavenly_a chorus_n to_o adore_v the_o infinite_a majesty_n of_o god_n and_o to_o chant_v out_o praise_n and_o hallelujah_n unto_o he_o to_o everlasting_a age_n 3._o and_o hence_o it_o follow_v three_o that_o the_o life_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o light_n be_v a_o life_n of_o the_o most_o

it_o be_v possible_a understand_v his_o perfection_n together_o with_o the_o astonish_a reason_n of_o his_o decree_n and_o operation_n whatever_o notion_n our_o soul_n have_v of_o god_n in_o this_o life_n we_o be_v fain_o to_o gather_v by_o look_v into_o the_o glass_n of_o his_o creation_n and_o of_o his_o word_n as_o the_o mean_n of_o see_v what_o we_o be_v able_a to_o discover_v and_o that_o imperfect_a vision_n we_o have_v be_v but_o a_o reflex_n vision_n by_o the_o help_n of_o weak_a consideration_n and_o discourse_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o our_o apprehension_n be_v so_o

work_n 4._o from_o this_o clear_a and_o intimate_a knowledge_n which_o the_o saint_n in_o light_n enjoy_v it_o follow_v yet_o further_o that_o their_o life_n there_o be_v a_o life_n of_o purity_n because_o st._n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o without_o holiness_n no_o man_n shall_v see_v the_o lord_n heb._n 12._o 14._o and_o our_o saviour_n promise_n of_o see_v god_n particular_o belong_v to_o

cleanse_v and_o sanctify_v our_o soul_n and_o so_o to_o fit_v they_o for_o a_o life_n of_o bliss_n and_o perfection_n with_o himself_o be_v the_o great_a work_n of_o god_n here_o and_o this_o he_o

for_o a_o life_n of_o everlasting_a peace_n other_o to_o mortify_v we_o and_o make_v we_o weary_a of_o our_o lust_n other_o to_o curb_v and_o bridle_v our_o passion_n other_o to_o defend_v we_o from_o

of_o this_o be_v draw_v from_o the_o common_a notion_n of_o happiness_n for_o after_o all_o the_o nice_a dispute_n which_o have_v be_v about_o it_o happiness_n must_v be_v a_o state_n of_o delight_n
