a_o estate_n not_o only_o of_o security_n from_o grief_n but_o of_o the_o most_o great_a and_o most_o full_a delight_n and_o of_o delight_n that_o shall_v last_v for_o evermore_o but_o here_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o interrupt_v you_o with_o a_o advertisement_n namely_o that_o those_o expression_n and_o scripturall_a resemblance_n of_o heavenly_a joy_n to_o the_o delight_n of_o sense_n be_v only_o intend_v to_o express_v the_o grandeur_n and_o completeness_n but_o not_o the_o nature_n or_o kind_n of_o the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n otherwise_o the_o paradise_n we_o expect_v may_v be_v think_v as_o sensual_a as_o that_o of_o mahomet_n be_v common_o represent_v and_o indeed_o it_o be_v the_o great_a goodness_n and_o wisdom_n of_o god_n to_o use_v unto_o we_o such_o familiar_a resemblance_n for_o we_o be_v earthy_a constitution_v man_n
