business_n and_o employment_n we_o shall_v have_v there_o where_o we_o shall_v have_v no_o occasion_n for_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n which_o employ_v our_o time_n here_o for_o when_o we_o have_v no_o use_n of_o food_n or_o raiment_n or_o physic_n or_o house_n to_o dwell_v in_o or_o whatever_o our_o union_n to_o these_o body_n make_v necessary_a to_o we_o now_o all_o those_o trade_n and_o

great_a happiness_n in_o the_o next_o world_n which_o infinite_o exceed_v whatever_a man_n call_v happiness_n or_o pleasure_n here_o yet_o most_o man_n be_v very_o unwilling_a to_o change_v a_o know_v for_o a_o unknown_a happiness_n and_o it_o confound_v and_o amaze_v they_o to_o think_v of_o go_v out_o of_o these_o body_n they_o know_v not_o whither_o now_o this_o consideration_n will_v suggest_v several_a very_o wise_a and_o useful_a thought_n to_o we_o 1._o how_o necessary_a a_o entire_a trust_n and_o faith_n in_o god_n be_v we_o can_v live_v happy_o without_o it_o in_o this_o world_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a we_o can_v die_v comfortable_o without_o it_o for_o this_o be_v the_o noble_a exercise_n of_o faith_n to_o be_v able_a cheerful_o to_o resign_v up_o our_o spirit_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n when_o we_o know_v so_o little_a of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o other_o world_n whither_o we_o be_v go_v this_o be_v the_o first_o trial_n of_o abraham_n faith_n when_o in_o obedience_n to_o the_o command_n of_o god_n he_o forsake_v his_o own_o country_n and_o his_o father_n house_n and_o follow_v god_n into_o a_o strange_a land_n 11._o hebr._n 8._o by_o faith_n abraham_n when_o he_o be_v call_v to_o go_v into_o a_o place_n which_o he_o shall_v after_o receive_v for_o a_o inheritance_n obey_v and_o he_o go_v out_o not_o know_v whither_o he_o went._n canaan_n be_v a_o type_n of_o heaven_n and_o heaven_n be_v as_o unknown_a a_o country_n to_o we_o as_o canaan_n be_v to_o abraham_n and_o herein_o we_o must_v imitate_v this_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a to_o be_v content_v to_o leave_v our_o native_a country_n and_o the_o world_n we_o know_v to_o follow_v god_n whithersoever_o he_o lead_v we_o into_o unknown_a region_n and_o to_o a_o unknown_a and_o unexperienced_a happiness_n this_o indeed_o all_o man_n must_v do_v because_o they_o can_v avoid_v leave_v this_o world_n but_o must_v go_v when_o god_n call_v for_o they_o but_o that_o which_o make_v it_o our_o choice_n and_o a_o act_n of_o faith_n and_o virtue_n be_v this_o such_o a_o strong_a persuasion_n of_o and_o firm_a reliance_n on_o the_o goodness_n and_o wisdom_n and_o promise_n of_o god_n that_o though_o we_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o other_o world_n we_o can_v cheerful_o forsake_v all_o our_o know_a enjoyment_n and_o embrace_v the_o promise_n of_o a_o unknown_a happiness_n and_o there_o be_v two_o distinct_a act_n of_o this_o which_o answer_n to_o abraham_n faith_n in_o leave_v his_o own_o country_n and_o follow_v god_n into_o a_o strange_a land_n the_o first_o be_v the_o exercise_n of_o our_o faith_n while_o we_o live_v the_o second_o when_o we_o die_v to_o mortify_v all_o our_o inordinate_a appetite_n and_o desire_n to_o deny_v ourselves_o the_o sinful_a vanity_n and_o pleasure_n of_o this_o life_n for_o the_o promise_v of_o a_o unknown_a happiness_n in_o the_o next_o world_n be_v our_o mystical_a die_v to_o this_o world_n leave_v our_o native_a country_n and_o follow_v god_n into_o a_o strange_a and_o unknown_a land_n to_o quit_v all_o our_o present_a possession_n in_o this_o world_n to_o forfeit_v our_o estate_n our_o liberty_n all_o that_o be_v dear_a to_o we_o here_o nay_o to_o forsake_v our_o native_a country_n rather_o than_o offend_v god_n and_o lose_v our_o title_n to_o the_o promise_n of_o a_o unknown_a happiness_n be_v in_o a_o literal_a sense_n to_o leave_v our_o own_o country_n at_o god_n command_n not_o know_v whither_o we_o go_v which_o be_v like_o abraham_n go_v out_o of_o his_o own_o country_n and_o live_v as_o a_o sojourner_n in_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n without_o have_v any_o inheritance_n in_o it_o this_o be_v that_o faith_n which_o overcome_v the_o world_n which_o make_v we_o live_v as_o pilgrim_n and_o stranger_n here_o as_o those_o who_o seek_v for_o another_o country_n for_o a_o heavenly_a canaan_n as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o abraham_n do_v for_o by_o faith_n he_o sojourn_v in_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n as_o in_o a_o strange_a country_n dwell_v in_o tabernacle_n with_o isaac_n and_o jacob_n the_o heir_n with_o he_o of_o the_o same_o promise_n for_o he_o look_v for_o a_o city_n which_o have_v foundation_n who_o builder_n and_o maker_n be_v god_n 11._o heb._n 9_o 10._o and_o when_o we_o come_v to_o die_v and_o can_v with_o joy_n and_o triumph_v in_o a_o assurance_n of_o god_n promise_n commend_v our_o spirit_n to_o he_o and_o trust_v he_o with_o our_o soul_n when_o we_o know_v not_o the_o country_n we_o go_v to_o and_o never_o experience_v what_o the_o happiness_n of_o it_o be_v without_o any_o concern_n or_o solocitude_n about_o it_o this_o be_v a_o noble_a act_n of_o faith_n which_o do_v great_a honour_n to_o god_n and_o conquer_v all_o the_o natural_a aversion_n to_o death_n and_o make_v it_o a_o easy_a thing_n to_o leave_v this_o world_n and_o the_o object_n of_o our_o desire_n and_o choice_n to_o see_v that_o promise_a land_n and_o taste_v those_o pleasure_n which_o we_o be_v yet_o stranger_n to_o we_o must_v live_v and_o we_o must_v die_v in_o faith_n too_o as_o the_o patriarch_n do_v who_o all_o die_v in_o faith_n not_o have_v receive_v the_o promise_n but_o see_v they_o a_o far_o off_o and_o for_o that_o reason_n the_o other_o world_n must_v be_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n unknown_a to_o we_o for_o can_v we_o see_v it_o can_v we_o before_o hand_n taste_v the_o pleasure_n of_o it_o or_o know_v what_o they_o be_v it_o will_v be_v no_o act_n of_o faith_n to_o leave_v this_o world_n for_o it_o to_o be_v willing_a to_o be_v translate_v from_o earth_n to_o heaven_n but_o no_o man_n be_v worthy_a of_o heaven_n who_o dare_v not_o take_v god_n word_n for_o it_o and_o therefore_o god_n have_v conceal_v those_o glory_n from_o we_o and_o give_v we_o only_o a_o promise_n of_o a_o great_a but_o a_o unknown_a happiness_n for_o the_o object_n of_o our_o hope_n to_o be_v a_o trial_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o obedience_n and_o trust_n in_o he_o that_o the_o other_o world_n be_v a_o unknown_a state_n to_o we_o train_v we_o up_o to_o a_o great_a trust_n and_o confidence_n in_o god_n for_o we_o must_v trust_v god_n for_o our_o soul_n and_o for_o the_o next_o world_n and_o this_o natural_o teach_v we_o to_o trust_v god_n in_o this_o world_n too_o to_o live_v secure_o upon_o his_o providence_n and_o to_o suffer_v he_o to_o dispose_v of_o we_o as_o he_o please_v indeed_o no_o man_n can_v trust_v god_n in_o this_o world_n who_o have_v not_o a_o steadfast_a faith_n in_o god_n for_o the_o reward_n of_o the_o next_o for_o the_o external_a administration_n of_o providence_n be_v not_o always_o what_o we_o can_v wish_v but_o good_a man_n be_v very_o well_o content_v and_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o be_v so_o to_o take_v this_o world_n and_o the_o next_o together_o and_o therefore_o be_v not_o solicitous_a about_o present_a thing_n but_o leave_v god_n to_o choose_v what_o condition_n for_o they_o he_o please_v as_o be_v well_o assure_v of_o his_o goodness_n who_o have_v prepare_v for_o they_o eternal_a reward_n and_o those_o who_o can_v trust_v god_n with_o their_o soul_n who_o can_v trust_v he_o for_o a_o immortal_a life_n for_o a_o unseen_a and_o unknown_a happiness_n will_v find_v no_o difficulty_n in_o trust_v he_o for_o this_o world_n i_o mean_v those_o who_o be_v concern_v for_o their_o future_a happiness_n and_o take_v any_o care_n of_o their_o soul_n if_o all_o who_o be_v unconcern_v for_o their_o soul_n and_o never_o trouble_v their_o head_n what_o will_v become_v of_o they_o hereafter_o may_v be_v say_v to_o trust_n god_n with_o their_o soul_n then_o i_o confess_v this_o will_v not_o hold_v true_a for_o the_o great_a number_n of_o those_o who_o thus_o trust_v god_n with_o their_o soul_n will_v trust_v he_o for_o nothing_o else_o but_o this_o be_v not_o to_o trust_v god_n but_o to_o be_v careless_a of_o our_o soul_n but_o now_o when_o a_o man_n who_o steadfast_o believe_v another_o life_n after_o this_o and_o be_v hearty_o concern_v what_o will_v become_v of_o he_o for_o ever_o can_v secure_o rely_v on_o god_n promise_n beyond_o his_o own_o knowledge_n and_o prospect_n
