o_o bless_a saviour_n i_o know_v not_o whether_o more_o to_o grieve_v for_o thy_o descend_v into_o hell_n or_o more_o to_o joy_n for_o thy_o ascend_v up_o to_o heaven_n yet_o i_o must_v confess_v there_o be_v advantage_n on_o the_o joy_n part_n for_o though_o one_o of_o they_o be_v to_o thou_o most_o prejudicial_a yet_o both_o of_o they_o be_v to_o i_o most_o beneficial_a there_o be_v many_o that_o ascend_v for_o we_o be_v all_o of_o a_o climb_a nature_n but_o not_o into_o heaven_n they_o ascend_v but_o with_o simon_n magus_n up_o into_o the_o air_n the_o popular_a air_n of_o ambition_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o world_n and_o alas_o they_o present_o fall_v down_o again_o because_o the_o thin_a air_n be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v they_o up_o and_o the_o end_n of_o these_o man_n be_v worse_o than_o the_o beginning_n there_o be_v no_o ascend_v good_a but_o into_o heaven_n for_o once_o come_v thither_o there_o will_v be_v no_o fall_v down_o again_o for_o though_o lucifer_n do_v so_o once_o yet_o it_o be_v never_o like_a to_o be_v do_v so_o any_o more_o it_o be_v never_o hear_v that_o any_o ascend_v up_o to_o heaven_n till_o now_o but_o only_o elias_n the_o prophet_n a_o type_n perhaps_o of_o christ_n ascend_v who_o ascend_v up_o in_o a_o fiery_a chariot_n and_o we_o may_v marvel_v how_o he_o can_v ever_o get_v to_o heaven_n and_o not_o be_v burn_v by_o the_o way_n but_o indeed_o the_o fire_n of_o his_o chariot_n be_v perhaps_o the_o ardour_n and_o burn_a love_n of_o seraphin_n which_o like_o the_o fire_n that_o appear_v in_o the_o bush_n to_o moses_n though_o it_o burn_v it_o never_o consume_v and_o thou_o my_o soul_n if_o with_o this_o ardour_n and_o burn_a love_n of_o god_n thou_o can_v inflame_v thy_o heart_n thou_o also_o may_v ascend_v up_o to_o heaven_n in_o a_o fiery_a chariot_n as_o elias_n do_v but_o though_o elias_n go_v up_o into_o heaven_n yet_o it_o can_v proper_o be_v say_v that_o he_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n for_o he_o be_v take_v up_o in_o a_o fiery_a chariot_n and_o to_o be_v take_v up_o be_v by_o the_o power_n of_o another_o to_o ascend_v be_v by_o his_o own_o power_n and_o this_o elias_n do_v not_o nor_o ever_o any_o but_o only_o christ_n but_o though_o christ_n ascend_v into_o heaven_n yet_o he_o ascend_v not_o as_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o saint_n do_v god_n he_o fit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n to_o lie_v under_o the_o altar_n when_o they_o come_v there_o but_o he_o ascend_v to_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n the_o father_n almighty_a for_o who_o indeed_o be_v fit_a to_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o father_n but_o his_o only_a son_n and_o now_o by_o his_o ascend_v a_o great_a alteration_n be_v make_v in_o the_o order_n of_o take_v place_n in_o heaven_n for_o where_o before_o the_o cherubin_n or_o seraphin_n or_o what_o other_o order_n be_v the_o high_a in_o the_o hierarchy_n of_o angel_n take_v their_o place_n next_o to_o god_n now_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n take_v place_n before_o they_o all_o that_o if_o lucifer_n be_v now_o in_o heaven_n he_o may_v have_v just_a cause_n to_o murmur_v at_o god_n partiality_n as_o he_o will_v call_v it_o than_o ever_o he_o bid_v when_o he_o first_o revolt_v but_o we_o must_v not_o here_o be_v lead_v with_o the_o weak_a conceit_n of_o flesh_n or_o with_o the_o vain_a conceit_n of_o error_n as_o though_o god_n be_v a_o body_n and_o have_v a_o right_a hand_n and_o a_o left_a hand_n like_v to_o we_o who_o be_v purus_fw-la spiritus_fw-la a_o pure_a and_o simple_a spirit_n but_o as_o we_o make_v account_n that_o to_o fit_v at_o our_o right_a hand_n be_v to_o have_v the_o high_a place_n next_o ourselves_o so_o when_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o his_o father_n it_o be_v mean_v that_o all_o power_n be_v give_v he_o both_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n at_o least_o a_o power_n far_o supreme_a than_o any_o creature_n a_o sovereign_a power_n over_o all_o creature_n and_o this_o

well_o deservede_v to_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o father_n who_o do_v offer_v up_o thyself_o a_o perfect_a sacrifice_n of_o obedience_n to_o thy_o father_n thou_o well_o deserve_v to_o have_v the_o high_a place_n in_o heaven_n who_o do_v humble_a thyself_o to_o the_o low_a place_n in_o hell_n thou_o be_v worthy_a to_o have_v all_o knee_n bow_v to_o thou_o both_o in_o heaven_n

thy_o pilgrimage_n upon_o earth_n thou_o be_v fain_a to_o flee_v out_o of_o judea_n into_o egypt_n and_o fain_o to_o stand_v as_o a_o prisoner_n at_o the_o bar_n of_o pilate_n and_o fain_o to_o hang_v

for_o thou_o sit_v and_o to_o a_o seat_n of_o glory_n for_o thou_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o thy_o father_n and_o there_o shall_v sit_v in_o rest_n and_o glory_n till_o the_o time_n come_v

and_o yet_o not_o strange_a see_v to_o appoint_v the_o day_n of_o judgement_n belong_v to_o he_o that_o appoint_v the_o judge_n and_o be_v perhaps_o one_o of_o the_o thing_n which_o make_v god_n say_v

humane_a belief_n be_v always_o ground_v upon_o sense_n or_o reason_n but_o divine_a belief_n have_v other_o ground_n to_o stand_v upon_o either_o the_o ground_n of_o abraham_n qui_fw-la in_o
