A59599	Adam Abel, or, Vain man a discourse fitted for funeral occasions, but serviceable to men in all ages and conditions of life to make them humble and heavenly-minded / by Samuel Shaw ...	Shaw, Samuel, 1635-1696.	1692 (1692)	Wing S3034; ESTC R9572	39,662	130

though_o in_o ordinary_a discourse_n man_n be_v apt_a to_o confound_v they_o for_o i_o can_v make_v good_a these_o two_o proposition_n viz._n that_o many_o man_n possess_v many_o thing_n which_o they_o do_v not_o enjoy_v as_o the_o covetous_a worldly-minded_n man_n possess_v bag_n of_o gold_n &_o silver_n which_o he_o dare_v not_o touch_v except_o it_o be_v to_o count_v it_o and_o lay_v it_o up_o again_o and_o many_o other_o sort_n of_o riches_n which_o he_o dare_v not_o make_v use_n of_o either_o for_o his_o own_o relief_n or_o the_o relief_n of_o the_o poor_a second_o that_o some_o man_n enjoy_v many_o thing_n which_o they_o do_v not_o possess_v he_o that_o be_v so_o refine_a and_o spiritualise_v as_o to_o view_v all_o thing_n in_o god_n and_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o goodness_n sweetness_n and_o bounty_n of_o god_n in_o the_o whole_a creation_n and_o have_v such_o a_o interest_n in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n as_o to_o enable_v he_o to_o say_v all_o thing_n be_v i_o and_o so_o much_o charity_n as_o to_o delight_v in_o the_o good_a of_o his_o neighbour_n as_o his_o own_o enjoy_v even_o the_o very_a possession_n of_o other_o man_n and_o all_o that_o be_v sweet_a and_o excellent_a in_o they_o as_o true_o and_o more_o pure_o than_o if_o they_o be_v his_o own_o as_o the_o little_a bee_n that_o fly_v from_o flower_n to_o flower_n in_o any_o man_n garden_n whatsoever_o and_o suck_v out_o the_o sweetness_n thereof_o so_o do_v the_o chemical_a soul_n extract_v true_a sweetness_n out_o of_o all_o the_o work_n of_o god_n though_o they_o be_v the_o possession_n of_o other_o man_n and_o by_o this_o rare_a art_n make_v they_o his_o own_o at_o least_o take_v more_o pleasure_n in_o they_o than_o the_o owner_n but_o this_o be_v a_o

and_o delight_n of_o child_n be_v inferior_a to_o the_o sensation_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o grow_v man_n and_o as_o the_o laughter_n of_o fool_n differ_v from_o the_o pleasure_n and_o contentment_n
