have_v occasion_n to_o do_v it_o hereafter_o when_o i_o come_v to_o handle_v the_o other_o point_n for_o all_o these_o place_n that_o prove_v our_o happiness_n to_o be_v in_o god_n alone_o and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n unto_o it_o they_o all_o prove_v this_o point_n i_o shall_v select_v some_o few_o for_o present_a to_o mention_v that_o first_o wherein_o this_o argument_n be_v treat_v in_o it_o be_v the_o same_o with_o this_o wherein_o happiness_n be_v seat_v mat._n 5._o at_o the_o beginning_n our_o saviour_n there_o in_o this_o sermon_n upon_o the_o mount_n purposely_o treat_v of_o happiness_n and_o blessedness_n he_o set_v the_o crown_n of_o blessedness_n or_o happiness_n on_o the_o head_n of_o many_o thing_n as_o bless_a be_v those_o that_o be_v poor_a in_o spirit_n bless_v be_v those_o that_o mourn_n bless_v be_v the_o meek_a etc._n etc._n but_o among_o all_o those_o he_o mention_n there_o he_o mention_n none_o of_o those_o create_v good_a thing_n wherein_o a_o man_n may_v suppose_v they_o shall_v be_v there_o be_v not_o bless_a be_v the_o rich_a man_n or_o bless_a be_v the_o honourable_a man_n or_o the_o wiseman_n or_o he_o that_o enjoy_v the_o good_n of_o beauty_n or_o riches_n or_o strength_n of_o body_n and_o the_o like_a none_o of_o those_o thing_n mention_v but_o all_o these_o thing_n that_o be_v mention_v there_o be_v spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a grace_n that_o put_v a_o man_n into_o fellowship_n and_o communion_n with_o god_n the_o second_o scripture_n be_v that_o in_o psal_n 34.12_o where_o the_o psalmist_n be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o direction_n come_v to_o i_o my_o child_n &_o i_o will_v instruct_v you_o in_o the_o way_n to_o happiness_n who_o be_v he_o that_o desire_v to_o see_v good_a to_o live_v long_o and_o see_v good_a day_n to_o see_v happiness_n and_o to_o come_v to_o happiness_n where_o he_o mention_n none_o of_o those_o thing_n as_o i_o name_v before_o but_o the_o same_o that_o our_o saviour_n seem_v to_o express_v and_o he_o exclude_v other_o thing_n he_o direct_v to_o spiritual_a way_n and_o spiritual_a mean_n for_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o happiness_n but_o for_o earthly_a thing_n he_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o once_o name_v they_o and_o then_o again_o psal_n 73._o about_o the_o beginning_n there_o be_v a_o full_a proof_n of_o it_o in_o the_o whole_a beginning_n there_o the_o prophet_n reckon_v up_o the_o propriety_n and_o the_o happiness_n of_o wicked_a man_n and_o express_v it_o so_o much_o the_o full_a because_o the_o glister_n of_o these_o worldly_a thing_n have_v dazzle_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o psalmist_n and_o they_o have_v almost_o make_v his_o foot_n to_o stippe_v ver._n 2._o he_o be_v so_o take_v with_o the_o flare_v of_o earthly_a thing_n and_o the_o prosperous_a state_n of_o man_n in_o worldly_a thing_n that_o he_o begin_v to_o bless_v in_o his_o heart_n and_o think_v well_o of_o those_o that_o enjoy_v they_o and_o to_o repine_v at_o his_o own_o estate_n and_o thus_o he_o be_v carry_v away_o till_o god_n bring_v he_o into_o the_o sanctuary_n verse_n 18._o there_o he_o find_v that_o all_o those_o that_o have_v they_o be_v not_o happy_a but_o those_o that_o have_v they_o be_v set_v in_o slippery_a place_n there_o be_v no_o solidity_n of_o happiness_n that_o can_v be_v gather_v out_o of_o those_o thing_n when_o god_n bring_v he_o into_o the_o sanctuary_n than_o he_o learn_v there_o that_o there_o be_v no_o true_a happiness_n in_o all_o these_o earthly_a thing_n and_o so_o psal_n 144._o the_o last_o verse_n the_o psalmist_n there_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o verse_n seem_v to_o look_v this_o way_n as_o though_o there_o be_v happiness_n in_o these_o create_a thing_n happy_a be_v the_o people_n that_o be_v in_o such_o a_o case_n the_o people_n that_o flourish_n in_o prosperity_n as_o in_o the_o forego_n verse_n and_o so_o far_o indeed_o as_o they_o be_v conjoin_v with_o god_n there_o be_v something_o of_o happiness_n in_o they_o but_o lest_o any_o shall_v mistake_v the_o prophet_n he_o correct_v himself_o again_o and_o say_v as_o if_o he_o do_v unsay_v what_o he_o he_o have_v say_v happy_a be_v the_o people_n who_o have_v god_n for_o their_o lord_n they_o be_v happy_a man_n who_o god_n be_v the_o lord_n that_o be_v the_o right_n of_o it_o it_o be_v not_o these_o thing_n wherein_o true_a happiness_n lie_v though_o they_o may_v be_v subservient_fw-fr to_o it_o and_o something_o conducible_a to_o happiness_n yet_o our_o happiness_n do_v lie_v in_o our_o conjunction_n with_o god_n and_o therefore_o the_o prophet_n jer._n 9.23_o give_v a_o caution_n let_v not_o the_o wiseman_n glory_n in_o his_o wisdom_n nor_o the_o strong_a man_n in_o his_o strength_n nor_o the_o rich_a man_n glory_n in_o his_o riches_n none_o of_o these_o thing_n can_v make_v a_o man_n happy_a these_o be_v not_o the_o thing_n that_o a_o man_n can_v delight_v in_o or_o boast_v of_o there_o must_v be_v other_o thing_n that_o must_v make_v up_o this_o happiness_n or_o else_o we_o shall_v come_v short_a of_o it_o and_o so_o in_o 1_o tim._n 6.17_o see_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v concern_v one_o thing_n which_o have_v

which_o be_v to_o do_v themselves_o good_a and_o steer_v their_o own_o course_n aright_o as_o also_o to_o advance_v god_n glory_n labour_v by_o their_o knowledge_n to_o do_v good_a to_o other_o and_o

to_o knowledge_n we_o must_v labour_v for_o prudence_n prudent_o to_o make_v choice_n of_o what_o we_o hear_v and_o what_o we_o read_v to_o make_v choice_n of_o those_o that_o will_v most_o increase_v

that_o do_v conduce_v most_o and_o be_v more_o near_o of_o kind_n and_o most_o close_o to_o our_o end_n and_o scope_n and_o will_v most_o real_o advance_v we_o to_o the_o advantage_v in_o and_o gain_v

that_o a_o man_n be_v thus_o prepare_v with_o humility_n and_o ingenuity_n of_o spirit_n and_o will_v put_v himself_o on_o it_o with_o a_o conscience_n to_o aim_v at_o god_n glory_n and_o his_o own_o
