that_o it_o be_v a_o short_a voyage_n and_o where_o the_o haven_n lie_v always_o in_o sight_n that_o it_o be_v the_o great_a short-sightedness_n imaginable_a not_o to_o see_v beyond_o so_o little_a

if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o state_n but_o the_o present_a it_o will_v be_v our_o great_a prudence_n to_o make_v as_o much_o of_o it_o as_o we_o can_v though_o it_o be_v more_o vain_a and_o contemptible_a than_o it_o be_v because_o it_o be_v our_o all_o it_o will_v then_o be_v as_o reasonable_a to_o have_v our_o conversation_n on_o earth_n as_o now_o it_o be_v to_o have_v it_o in_o heaven_n and_o the_o epicure_n proverb_n will_v then_o be_v as_o wise_a as_o any_o of_o solomon_n let_v we_o eat_v and_o drink_v for_o to_o morrow_n we_o dye_v but_o since_o we_o be_v assure_v by_o he_o who_o bring_v life_n and_o immortality_n to_o light_v through_o the_o gospel_n that_o there_o be_v another_o state_n and_o that_o our_o death_n be_v but_o the_o begin_n of_o a_o new_a and_o never_o to_o be_v end_v life_n this_o one_o will_v think_v shall_v deserve_v and_o engross_v all_o our_o thought_n and_o affection_n our_o meditation_n and_o discourse_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v
