provide_v admission_n for_o we_o the_o doctrine_n i_o shall_v offer_v be_v that_o christian_n must_v look_v on_o heaven_n as_o their_o dwell_a place_n reason_n of_o the_o doctrine_n be_v 1._o because_o god_n design_v heaven_n as_o our_o dwelling-place_n a_o christian_a have_v a_o body_n and_o a_o soul_n a_o earthly_a and_o a_o heavenly_a part_n a_o body_n form_v of_o the_o earth_n and_o

angel_n in_o heaven_n the_o body_n be_v content_v with_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o think_v it_o good_a to_o be_v here_o but_o the_o soul_n find_v nothing_o able_a to_o satisfy_v it_o here_o on_o earth_n and_o therefore_o be_v always_o mount_v up_o to_o heaven_n by_o contemplation_n and_o desirous_a to_o be_v dissolve_v from_o its_o earthly_a clay_n god_n make_v man_n look_v upward_o towards_o heaven_n and_o the_o beast_n bow_v downward_o towards_o the_o earth_n to_o show_v we_o that_o the_o earth_n be_v the_o proper_a place_n for_o brute_n beast_n but_o heave●_n be_v

they_o and_o where_o can_v he_o better_o provide_v a_o place_n than_o in_o he_o and_o our_o father_n house_n i_o assend_v to_o my_o father_n and_o your_o father_n joh._n 20._o ver_fw-la 17._o my_o

that_o kingdom_n which_o christ_n also_o appoint_v for_o they_o luk._n 22._o ver_fw-la 29_o 30._o and_o i_o appoint_v unto_o you_o a_o kingdom_n that_o you_o may_v eat_v and_o drink_v at_o my_o

not_o sit_v on_o throne_n but_o rather_o on_o dunghill_n as_o job_n and_o lazarus_n do_v they_o do_v not_o judge_v here_o but_o rather_o be_v judge_v and_o hardly_o censure_v 3_o reason_n why_o christian_n must_v look_v on_o heaven_n as_o their_o dwelling-place_n be_v because_o the_o word_n of_o god_n direct_v we_o so_o to_o do_v to_o s●t_v our_o affection_n on_o thing_n above_o and_o to_o seek_v those_o thing_n to_o look_v on_o the_o world_n but_o as_o our_o inn_n but_o on_o heaven_n as_o our_o home_n 4_o reason_n because_o experience_n do_v show_v that_o on_o earth_n christian_n have_v no_o certain_a dwelling-place_n 1_o cor._n 4._o ver_fw-la 11._o here_o we_o travail_v and_o meet_v with_o trouble_n here_o we_o sojourn_v here_o we_o suffer_v here_o we_o have_v no_o continue_a

moses_n be_v much_o long_o a_o stranger_n in_o madian_a than_o a_o courtier_n in_o egypt_n 2._o because_o believer_n do_v look_v upon_o earth_n as_o a_o uncertain_a place_n where_o they_o can_v set_v up_o their_o rest_n they_o look_v on_o the_o world_n as_o a_o camp_n where_o they_o wall_n meet_v with_o opposition_n rather_o than_o as_o a_o city_n where_o they_o shall_v expect_v safety_n and_o

must_v look_v upon_o heaven_n as_o their_o dwell_a place_n be_v to_o move_v they_o to_o a_o heavenly_a conversation_n such_o as_o our_o hope_n be_v such_o will_v our_o conversation_n be_v if_o your_o
