have_v raise_v our_o body_n from_o their_o sleep_n that_o we_o may_v do_v the_o work_n of_o this_o life_n so_o he_o will_v raise_v up_o our_o soul_n from_o the_o sleep_n of_o sin_n that_o we_o may_v

you_o be_v direct_v how_o on_o ordinary_a and_o trivial_a occasion_n you_o may_v raise_v up_o your_o thought_n to_o heaven-ward_n but_o that_o book_n i_o suppose_v be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o most_o

himself_o of_o his_o meat_n and_o of_o his_o sleep_n that_o he_o may_v attend_v his_o customer_n and_o make_v gain_n of_o his_o trade_n we_o may_v just_o blame_v ourselves_o for_o our_o backwardness_n

we_o his_o mercy_n and_o blessing_n and_o that_o thus_o the_o bless_a man_n do_v enjoy_v god_n i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v plain_a when_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o gospel_n bless_v be_v the_o pure_a

signify_v to_o enjoy_v he_o appear_v by_o the_o custom_n of_o scripture_n phrase_n in_o which_o to_o see_v good_a be_v to_o enjoy_v it_o psal_n 34.12_o and_o to_o see_v good_a day_n be_v to_o enjoy_v good_a day_n 1_o pet._n 3.10_o and_o to_o see_v corruption_n be_v to_o partake_v of_o it_o psal_n 16.10_o and_o to_o see_v death_n be_v to_o suffer_v death_n john_n 8.51_o and_o heb._n 11.5_o and_o not_o to_o see_v good_a or_o evil_n when_o it_o come_v be_v as_o much_o as_o not_o to_o partake_v of_o it_o jer._n 17.6_o 8._o and_o if_o in_o the_o scripture_n phrase_n to_o see_v good_a and_o to_o see_v evil_a and_o to_o see_v death_n and_o to_o see_v corruption_n be_v to_o partake_v of_o they_o and_o when_o the_o speech_n be_v of_o that_o which_o be_v good_a to_o enjoy_v they_o then_o i_o do_v but_o speak_v according_a to_o the_o phrase_n of_o scripture_n if_o i_o say_v that_o to_o see_v god_n in_o that_o place_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o enjoy_v he_o and_o so_o to_o see_v and_o enjoy_v he_o be_v the_o bless_a man_n portion_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o blessedness_n do_v consist_v in_o the_o fruition_n of_o god_n b._n second_o i_o say_v that_o this_o fruition_n belong_v to_o the_o bless_a man_n be_v the_o immediate_a fruition_n of_o god_n for_o understand_v hereof_o we_o must_v note_v that_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a enjoy_n of_o god_n the_o one_o mediate_v and_o the_o other_o immediate_a mediate_o we_o be_v say_v to_o enjoy_v god_n when_o he_o communicate_v himself_o unto_o we_o by_o secondary_a mean_n and_o by_o interposition_n of_o the_o creature_n between_o he_o and_o we_o as_o namely_o when_o he_o feed_v we_o by_o meat_n and_o drink_v lighten_v we_o by_o the_o sun_n instruct_v we_o by_o his_o word_n strengthen_v we_o in_o

be_v say_v to_o enjoy_v god_n immediate_o when_o he_o communicate_v himself_o unto_o we_o without_o any_o other_o thing_n between_o and_o thus_o we_o be_v say_v to_o enjoy_v god_n immediate_o two_o way_n 1._o in_o respect_n of_o presence_n and_o 2._o in_o respect_n of_o influence_n in_o respect_n of_o presence_n our_o enjoy_n of_o god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v immediate_a when_o we_o live_v with_o
