endue_v with_o all_o glorious_a quality_n and_o perfect_o fit_v to_o serve_v and_o attend_v the_o soul_n which_o now_o be_v force_v to_o drudge_n for_o the_o body_n and_o lay_v in_o provision_n for_o it_o as_o the_o wise_a man_n say_v all_o labour_n be_v for_o his_o mouth_n and_o yet_o the_o appetite_n be_v not_o satisfy_v but_o then_o the_o main_a and_o only_a business_n shall_v be_v spiritual_a and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n call_v it_o a_o spiritual_a body_n not_o a_o spirit_n but_o advance_v to_o the_o near_a likeness_n whereof_o it_o be_v capable_a and_o make_v as_o fit_v a_o instrument_n for_o the_o spirit_n as_o may_v be_v probably_n it_o shall_v be_v purify_v and_o sublimate_v to_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o celestial_a matter_n which_o be_v the_o pure_a part_n oâ_n the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o country_n or_o region_n wherein_o man_n shall_v live_v for_o ever_o and_o therefore_o as_o now_o live_v on_o the_o earth_n his_o body_n be_v suitable_a and_o connaturall_a to_o it_o so_o when_o he_o shall_v be_v take_v up_o to_o heaven_n it_o shall_v be_v refine_v to_o the_o temper_n thereof_o and_o shall_v need_v none_o of_o mahomet_n lodestone_n to_o lift_v it_o up_o but_o like_o the_o star_n in_o their_o orb_n move_v in_o the_o high_a heaven_n of_o heaven_n most_o free_o and_o natural_o thus_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n seem_v to_o argue_v flesh_n and_o blood_n can_v inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n neither_o can_v corruption_n inherit_v incorruption_n and_o again_o the_o first_o man_n be_v of_o the_o earth_n earthly_a the_o second_o man_n be_v the_o lord_n from_o heaven_n as_o we_o have_v bear_v the_o image_n of_o the_o earthly_a so_o we_o shall_v also_o bear_v the_o image_n of_o the_o heavenly_a this_o be_v the_o high_a perfection_n whereof_o the_o body_n be_v capable_a and_o be_v reserve_v for_o christ_n the_o second_o adam_n and_o his_o glorify_a member_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v also_o infer_v howbeit_o that_o be_v not_o first_o which_o be_v spiritual_a but_o that_o which_o be_v natural_a and_o afterward_o that_o which_o be_v spiritual_a as_o god_n be_v the_o light_n of_o that_o place_n so_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o ay_o which_o shall_v see_v he_o and_o immediate_o enjoy_v he_o and_o as_o the_o body_n so_o the_o soul_n much_o more_o shall_v then_o be_v discharge_v of_o all_o imperfection_n as_o error_n lust_n and_o the_o like_a reason_n and_o discourse_n yea_o faith_n itself_o shall_v then_o be_v resolve_v into_o vision_n desire_v into_o joy_n and_o hope_v into_o fruition_n not_o only_o all_o sin_n shall_v be_v exclude_v out_o of_o heaven_n but_o also_o many_o inferior_a grace_n which_o now_o serve_v to_o bring_v we_o thither_o the_o soul_n shall_v then_o attain_v a_o high_a perfection_n than_o it_o have_v or_o can_v have_v in_o this_o world_n god_n say_v no_o man_n can_v see_v he_o and_o live_v that_o be_v no_o live_a man_n can_v possible_o see_v he_o though_o the_o common_a jew_n do_v interpââââtherwise_o as_o appear_v by_o the_o story_n of_o manoah_n yet_o moses_n who_o see_v as_o much_o of_o god_n as_o man_n can_v do_v do_v not_o therefore_o die_v but_o he_o see_v only_o his_o backpart_n or_o attribute_n which_o be_v but_o the_o demonstration_n of_o his_o nature_n in_o heaven_n we_o shall_v behold_v he_o face_n to_o face_n and_o know_v he_o as_o we_o be_v know_v according_a to_o the_o utmost_a capacity_n of_o finite_a creature_n and_o thus_o the_o soul_n shall_v be_v whole_o fill_v with_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n as_o the_o ey_fw-mi be_v fill_v with_o light_n possess_v and_o enjoy_v it_o in_o itself_o and_o change_v by_o it_o into_o the_o same_o glory_n then_o shall_v we_o also_o love_v god_n as_o we_o be_v love_v of_o he_o yea_o as_o he_o love_v himself_o according_a to_o our_o finite_a capacity_n and_o so_o according_o partake_v of_o the_o same_o happiness_n which_o he_o enjoy_v in_o himself_o which_o be_v a_o most_o wonderful_a and_o inconceivable_a blessedness_n and_o therefore_o sensual_a and_o carnal_a man_n who_o be_v only_o acquaint_v with_o the_o creature_n whole_o neglect_v it_o as_o beinâ_n ãâã_d for_o fool_n to_o understand_v and_o will_v be_v better_o please_v and_o more_o take_v with_o a_o poetical_a elysium_n or_o circean_a paradise_n but_o a_o true_a christian_a may_v satisfy_v himself_o with_o this_o that_o though_o he_o can_v comprehend_v this_o future_a blessedness_n full_o and_o particular_o yet_o in_o general_n he_o belieu_v it_o to_o be_v the_o high_a and_o pure_a happiness_n whereof_o he_o be_v capable_a every_o vessel_n of_o mercy_n as_o a_o vessel_n shall_v be_v make_v only_o to_o hold_v mercy_n and_o be_v whole_o fill_v with_o it_o yet_o shall_v not_o all_o the_o saint_n be_v equal_a in_o glory_n but_o differ_v therein_o as_o in_o grace_n for_o though_o all_o the_o spirit_n of_o just_a man_n shall_v be_v then_o make_v perfect_a yet_o they_o shall_v be_v proportionable_o perfect_v in_o glory_n according_a to_o their_o degree_n of_o grace_n by_o a_o arithmetical_a not_o by_o a_o geometrical_a proportion_n as_o in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o talent_n he_o who_o gain_v two_o talent_n be_v make_v ruler_n over_o two_o city_n in_o his_o lord_n kingdom_n and_o he_o who_o gain_v five_o talent_n be_v make_v ruler_n over_o five_o city_n there_o be_v no_o proportion_n between_o ãâã_d and_o city_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o proportion_n between_o two_o and_o two_o and_o between_o five_o and_o five_o thus_o shall_v we_o be_v recompense_v according_a to_o our_o work_n though_o not_o for_o our_o work_n and_o this_o may_v be_v as_o great_a and_o quick_a a_o incitation_n to_o work_v as_o the_o proud_a opinion_n of_o merit_n attain_v the_o same_o effect_n and_o end_v in_o the_o same_o reward_n of_o blessedness_n and_o though_o there_o can_v proper_o be_v any_o merit_n in_o the_o creature_n but_o only_o a_o performance_n of_o covenant_n yet_o the_o obedience_n of_o angel_n through_o that_o grace_n which_o be_v first_o implant_v in_o their_o nature_n and_o never_o forfeit_v be_v far_o short_a of_o this_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n which_o as_o it_o be_v a_o manifestation_n of_o the_o great_a love_n of_o god_n to_o man_n and_o the_o ground_n of_o his_o great_a delight_n in_o he_o so_o it_o beget_v in_o we_o proportionable_o a_o great_a love_n towards_o he_o and_o a_o great_a delight_n in_o he_o wherein_o the_o chief_a happpiness_n of_o the_o creature_n do_v consist_v ând_n thus_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n âânds_v the_o high_a perfection_n of_o glory_n and_o the_o very_a heaven_n of_o heaven_n through_o free_a grace_n enjoy_v christ_n as_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o happiness_n and_o god_n himself_o as_o the_o ocean_n thereof_o as_o heaven_n in_o the_o separation_n from_o all_o worldly_a thing_n do_v most_o plain_o manifest_v the_o vanity_n thereof_o so_o in_o itself_o and_o in_o its_o own_o
