yet_o he_o be_v still_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n as_o adam_n be_v part_n of_o mankind_n yet_o still_o the_o head_n of_o mankind_n but_o there_o will_v be_v no_o further_o need_v of_o a_o

1._o for_o infiniteness_n if_o a_o philosophical_a description_n of_o it_o may_v be_v admit_v in_o theologia_n beatorum_fw-la in_o heaven_n divinity_n our_o glory_n will_v be_v infinite_a for_o that_o

other_o heb._n 4.9_o compare_v with_o rev._n 19.1_o there_o be_v the_o eternal_a quiescent_n work_v of_o praise_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v with_o a_o coal_n draw_v a_o landship_n of_o heaven_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n alone_o be_v beyond_o comparison_n more_o desirable_a than_o any_o thing_n than_o all_o thing_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n reas_n 1._o the_o uncertainty_n

long_o and_o unwieldie_a let_v we_o therefore_o take_v it_o in_o piece_n and_o consider_v the_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n in_o four_o period_n of_o duration_n time_n i_o can_v call_v they_o because_o the_o last_o of_o they_o be_v eternity_n 1._o in_o this_o life_n but_o do_v not_o mistake_v i_o as_o though_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n here_o be_v more_o worth_a then_o that_o which_o be_v speak_v

without_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n and_o then_o that_o poor_a pittance_n of_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n which_o we_o may_v have_v here_o be_v more_o worth_a than_o heaven_n will_v be_v to_o
