for_o which_o way_n can_v we_o raise_v our_o thought_n to_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n work_n but_o since_o the_o revelation_n and_o promise_v of_o these_o thing_n be_v clear_a as_o it_o be_v most_o certain_o unless_o our_o race_n be_v so_o degenerate_a a_o brood_n that_o we_o can_v be_v sure_a of_o nothing_o that_o come_v to_o we_o through_o one_o another_o hand_n i_o persuade_v myself_o that_o even_o this_o discourse_n such_o as_o it_o be_v must_v make_v it_o very_o reasonable_a for_o we_o to_o expect_v they_o for_o to_o urge_v those_o several_a argument_n now_o together_o in_o the_o conclusion_n we_o who_o be_v the_o present_a live_a generation_n we_o stand_v upon_o our_o present_a time_n as_o upon_o a_o mountain_n betwixt_o two_o gulf_n betwixt_o two_o eternity_n one_o past_a and_o go_v the_o other_o as_o long_o in_o come_v god_n almighty_a shall_v have_v his_o be_v through_o both_o and_o wherefore_o may_v not_o god_n show_v forth_o his_o power_n in_o as_o wondrous_a work_n in_o one_o as_o he_o have_v do_v in_o the_o other_o let_v unbelieving_a man_n sit_v down_o and_o think_v and_o answer_v that_o what_o assurance_n they_o have_v that_o god_n will_v not_o be_v as_o marvellous_a in_o his_o deal_n with_o his_o creature_n in_o time_n to_o come_v as_o he_o have_v be_v in_o time_n past_a and_o since_o in_o the_o past_a eternity_n there_o have_v be_v a_o creation_n a_o fall_n a_o flood_n the_o come_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o his_o ascension_n into_o heaven_n why_o in_o the_o eternity_n to_o come_v may_v there_o not_o be_v a_o conflagration_n a_o resurrection_n a_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o a_o heaven_n and_o hell_n they_o will_v say_v i_o know_v that_o the_o thing_n be_v strange_a and_o great_a and_o wonderful_a but_o then_o i_o answer_v we_o live_v in_o a_o world_n of_o wonder_n it_o be_v a_o wonder_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o world_n as_o this_o be_v which_o god_n have_v give_v we_o for_o a_o dwelling-place_n it_o be_v a_o wonder_n there_o shall_v be_v in_o it_o such_o a_o sort_n of_o creature_n as_o we_o be_v and_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n of_o life_n as_o we_o live_v and_o indeed_o though_o i_o have_v hitherto_o only_o speak_v of_o the_o past_a and_o present_a work_n of_o god_n as_o great_a to_o such_o a_o degree_n as_o to_o make_v it_o easy_a to_o believe_v that_o god_n may_v do_v other_o though_o great_a yet_o i_o be_o very_o persuade_v that_o if_o we_o can_v raise_v our_o mind_n to_o a_o true_a view_n and_o think_v of_o thing_n we_o shall_v confess_v that_o for_o real_a wonder_n and_o strangeness_n this_o present_a world_n exceed_v and_o go_v beyond_o the_o other_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o speak_v thus_o be_v this_o that_o matter_n which_o be_v full_a of_o glory_n and_o goodness_n and_o happiness_n and_o justice_n and_o majesty_n such_o as_o we_o expect_v in_o heaven_n they_o be_v such_o as_o we_o natural_o look_v for_o from_o a_o be_v of_o infinite_a wisdom_n power_n and_o goodness_n who_o can_v create_v perfect_a and_o happy_a creature_n with_o as_o much_o case_n as_o imperfect_a and_o those_o thing_n to_o consider_v man_n seem_v strange_a where_o there_o be_v mixture_n of_o evil_a that_o seem_v to_o argue_v weakness_n and_o disapointment_n and_o the_o dishonour_n of_o god_n and_o seem_v as_o if_o not_o good_a such_o as_o this_o world_n abound_v with_o they_o be_v such_o as_o puzzle_v wise_a man_n most_o why_o and_o wherefore_o god_n shall_v suffer_v they_o when_o he_o can_v prevent_v they_o with_o such_o ease_n and_o for_o conclusion_n let_v we_o try_v in_o our_o thought_n to_o view_n as_o in_o a_o map_n or_o landscape_n all_o the_o glorious_a work_n of_o god_n from_o first_o to_o last_o the_o rise_a world_n its_o time_n of_o trial_n and_o then_o a_o glorious_a scene_n of_o saint_n with_o god_n in_o joy_n for_o ever_o and_o of_o all_o these_o the_o last_o the_o heaven_n be_v easy_a to_o our_o thought_n the_o new_a make_v world_n at_o first_o call_v out_o of_o darkness_n and_o with_o a_o word_n command_v out_o of_o nothing_o that_o be_v what_o no_o heart_n can_v ever_o have_v thought_n but_o when_o that_o be_v past_a and_o over_o of_o ourselves_o than_o we_o shall_v frame_v a_o scene_n of_o happy_a thing_n creature_n praise_v love_a god_n and_o bless_a and_o happy_a in_o his_o love_n such_o as_o we_o expect_v in_o heaven_n in_o our_o own_o thought_n we_o shall_v run_v to_o that_o and_o not_o easy_o be_v bring_v back_o to_o see_v a_o strange_a face_n of_o thing_n before_o it_o to_o see_v the_o creature_n god_n have_v make_v blaspheme_v curse_v he_o that_o bring_v they_o into_o be_v to_o see_v a_o scene_n of_o rapine_n blood_n and_o falsehood_n wickedness_n in_o prosperity_n virtue_n under_o foot_n rebellion_n against_o god_n under_o his_o own_o government_n and_o yet_o in_o triumph_n and_o duty_n to_o he_o and_o obedience_n before_o his_o face_n yet_o low_a and_o tread_v on_o and_o this_o not_o for_o a_o short_a space_n as_o one_o will_v think_v but_o long_o and_o mournful_a age_n till_o the_o heart_n of_o righteous_a man_n do_v almost_o fail_v down_o to_o our_o own_o unhappy_a age_n in_o which_o we_o

it_o but_o a_o heaven_n and_o hell_n to_o come_v and_o therefore_o for_o conclusion_n of_o all_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v unlikely_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o heaven_n and_o a_o hell_n that_o one_o can_v hardly_o forbear_v say_v that_o there_o must_v be_v such_o if_o the_o scene_n of_o the_o world_n be_v lay_v with_o wisdom_n and_o proportion_n and_o the_o conclusion_n of_o its_o

that_o since_o god_n have_v reveal_v it_o to_o we_o that_o in_o the_o order_n of_o his_o government_n there_o be_v one_o great_a revolution_n to_o come_v which_o will_v bring_v in_o with_o it_o a_o
