with_o a_o loud_a voice_n say_v salvation_n to_o our_o god_n which_o sit_v upon_o the_o throne_n and_o unto_o the_o lamb._n 3._o and_o one_o of_o the_o elder_n answer_v say_v unto_o i_o who_o be_v

of_o great_a tribulation_n and_o have_v wash_v their_o robe_n and_o make_v they_o white_a in_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o lamb._n 5._o therefore_o be_v they_o before_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n and_o serve_v he_o day_n and_o night_n in_o his_o temple_n and_o he_o that_o sit_v on_o the_o throne_n shall_v dwell_v among_o they_o 6._o they_o shall_v hunger_n no_o more_o neither_o thirst_v any_o more_o neither_o shall_v the_o sun_n light_n on_o they_o nor_o any_o heat_n 7._o for_o the_o lamb_n which_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o throne_n shall_v feed_v they_o and_o shall_v lead_v they_o unto_o live_a fountain_n of_o water_n and_o god_n shall_v wipe_v away_o all_o tear_n from_o their_o eye_n many_o man_n when_o a_o holy_a conversation_n and_o good_a work_n be_v propose_v unto_o they_o and_o when_o they_o be_v advise_v to_o exercise_v themselves_o therein_o and_o not_o to_o follow_v after_o the_o vanity_n of_o this_o world_n be_v wont_a to_o question_v for_o what_o end_n reward_n or_o retribution_n shall_v they_o do_v so_o the_o answer_n to_o these_o man_n must_v be_v this_o because_o it_o be_v write_v that_o eye_n have_v not_o see_v not_o ear_n hear_v neither_o have_v enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n the_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v prepare_v for_o they_o that_o love_v he_o 1_o cor._n 2._o which_o word_n because_o they_o can_v plain_o understand_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o they_o must_v be_v expound_v to_o they_o by_o other_o circumstance_n and_o it_o must_v be_v tell_v they_o that_o the_o reward_n which_o in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v shall_v be_v give_v unto_o those_o that_o serve_v god_n in_o this_o life_n be_v everlasting_a life_n eternal_a happiness_n never-ending_a pleasure_n and_o a_o fullness_n and_o sufficiency_n of_o all_o accommodation_n to_o their_o own_o desire_n without_o any_o scarcity_n or_o want_v at_o all_o when_o these_o thing_n be_v thus_o tell_v they_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v as_o they_o be_v indeed_o very_o great_a and_o very_o good_a but_o because_o that_o neither_o by_o this_o expression_n they_o do_v perfect_o apprehend_v what_o those_o thing_n be_v which_o they_o shall_v receive_v in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v nor_o can_v they_o of_o a_o sudden_a right_o perceive_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o a_o sufficiency_n of_o all_o accommodation_n without_o any_o want_n at_o all_o they_o continue_v still_o in_o a_o doubtful_a mind_n and_o be_v not_o effectual_o draw_v to_o take_v any_o relish_n or_o delight_n in_o the_o thing_n so_o tell_v they_o what_o course_n then_o shall_v we_o take_v to_o render_v these_o eternal_a reward_n more_o relish_v and_o delightful_a to_o they_o i_o hold_v that_o the_o best_a way_n be_v to_o feed_v they_o as_o nurse_n feed_v their_o little_a child_n who_o if_o at_o any_o time_n they_o give_v they_o a_o large_a fair_a apple_n which_o for_o the_o tenderness_n of_o their_o tooth_n and_o the_o narrowness_n of_o their_o mouth_n they_o can_v feed_v upon_o cut_v it_o according_a to_o the_o capacity_n of_o the_o child_n into_o several_a bit_n or_o part_n and_o so_o give_v it_o they_o to_o eat_v by_o piecemeal_n we_o shall_v therefore_o divide_v this_o great_a sufficiency_n of_o all_o accommodation_n in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v into_o several_a part_n or_o portion_n that_o by_o so_o do_v they_o may_v with_o those_o thing_n we_o shall_v deliver_v be_v feed_v to_o eternal_a life_n and_o because_o they_o may_v appear_v more_o plain_o to_o they_o we_o shall_v consider_v what_o those_o thing_n be_v which_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n most_o affect_v in_o this_o life_n and_o by_o those_o as_o far_o as_o we_o may_v we_o shall_v make_v it_o evident_a that_o they_o shall_v enjoy_v they_o after_o a_o more_o excellent_a manner_n in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v if_o be_v place_v here_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o danger_n and_o worldly_a temptation_n they_o stick_v fast_o to_o the_o precept_n of_o christ_n and_o when_o they_o have_v keep_v they_o they_o will_v of_o themselves_o quick_o perceive_v that_o by_o no_o mean_n they_o shall_v lose_v nor_o be_v deceive_v of_o the_o utmost_a of_o their_o desire_n this_o course_n we_o shall_v take_v in_o the_o explication_n of_o this_o doctrine_n and_o beginning_n with_o the_o least_o pass_v on_o to_o our_o desire_a end_n that_o we_o may_v then_o in_o the_o first_o place_n brief_o sum_n up_o all_o those_o thing_n which_o have_v reference_n to_o the_o body_n i_o suppose_v they_o to_o be_v such_o thing_n as_o be_v indeed_o desirable_a of_o themselves_o and_o for_o who_o service_n or_o use_v all_o other_o thing_n be_v desire_v of_o man_n and_o those_o be_v beauty_n activity_n strength_n liberty_n health_n pleasure_n &_o long_a life_n but_o if_o among_o these_o we_o have_v reckon_v there_o be_v some_o thing_n which_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n have_v no_o respect_n to_o but_o take_v special_a care_n to_o neglect_v and_o avoid_v they_o as_o for_o instance_n sake_n beauty_n and_o pleasure_n be_v yet_o do_v they_o not_o therefore_o despise_v they_o because_o that_o natural_o they_o affect_v they_o not_o but_o because_o they_o will_v not_o offend_v god_n in_o they_o for_o if_o they_o certain_o know_v that_o by_o care_v for_o such_o thing_n they_o can_v not_o offend_v god_n nor_o have_v their_o affection_n with-drawn_a from_o heavenly_a thing_n without_o doubt_n they_o will_v take_v more_o delight_n in_o the_o fruition_n of_o they_o then_o in_o a_o contrary_a state_n these_o thing_n be_v now_o thus_o premise_v i_o shall_v as_o brief_o as_o i_o may_v treat_v of_o every_o one_o of_o they_o distinct_o or_o by_o itself_o and_o labour_n to_o demonstrate_v unto_o you_o as_o god_n shall_v enable_v i_o after_o what_o manner_n they_o shall_v be_v enjoy_v by_o we_o after_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n to_o begin_v then_o beauty_n be_v a_o certain_a good_a which_o all_o man_n natural_o desire_v to_o have_v but_o in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v the_o beauty_n of_o the_o righteous_a shall_v shine_v equal_o with_o the_o sun_n this_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n testify_v matth._n 13._o then_o shall_v the_o righteous_a shine_n forth_o as_o the_o sun_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o their_o father_n add_v to_o this_o that_o the_o body_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n which_o none_o i_o hope_v will_v deny_v shall_v outshine_v the_o brightness_n of_o the_o sun_n but_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o apostle_n we_o shall_v be_v make_v like_o unto_o he_o for_o he_o say_v he_o shall_v change_v our_o vile_a body_n that_o they_o may_v be_v fashion_v like_o unto_o his_o glorious_a body_n and_o this_o be_v the_o confession_n of_o that_o authority_n which_o to_o contradict_v be_v blasphemy_n now_o if_o any_o man_n will_v have_v this_o prove_v to_o he_o by_o reason_n i_o believe_v it_o ought_v not_o to_o seem_v incredible_a to_o any_o that_o the_o righteous_a in_o that_o life_n which_o be_v to_o come_v when_o this_o mortality_n shall_v be_v swallow_v up_o of_o life_n shall_v shine_v as_o bright_a as_o the_o sun_n see_v they_o be_v true_o call_v and_o true_o be_v the_o temple_n and_o the_o seat_n of_o god_n himself_o which_o as_o i_o remember_v be_v no_o where_o in_o sacred_a scripture_n speak_v of_o this_o visible_a sun_n as_o for_o activity_n which_o be_v every_o way_n as_o desirable_a as_o beauty_n we_o shall_v be_v endue_v with_o such_o a_o measure_n of_o it_o as_o shall_v render_v we_o equal_a for_o swiftness_n to_o the_o very_a angel_n of_o god_n which_o in_o a_o moment_n pass_v from_o the_o high_a heaven_n unto_o the_o earth_n and_o from_o the_o earth_n again_o into_o heaven_n which_o swiftness_n if_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o prove_v it_o so_o in_o the_o angel_n we_o may_v for_o instance_n produce_v that_o place_n of_o scripture_n where_o it_o be_v write_v that_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n take_v habakkuk_n the_o prophet_n by_o the_o hair_n of_o the_o head_n and_o carry_v he_o through_o the_o vehemency_n of_o his_o spirit_n when_o he_o be_v yet_o in_o the_o flesh_n from_o jury_n into_o babylon_n and_o have_v deliver_v the_o dinner_n unto_o daniel_n bring_v he_o again_o immediate_o to_o his_o own_o place_n therefore_o i_o say_v again_o that_o a_o swiftness_n every_o way_n equal_a to_o that_o which_o be_v in_o they_o shall_v be_v give_v to_o those_o who_o labour_n in_o their_o life_n here_o to_o be_v like_a unto_o they_o the_o apostle_n also_o who_o affirm_v
vile_a body_n that_o they_o may_v be_v like_a unto_o his_o glorious_a body_n and_o command_v every_o creature_n to_o be_v subject_a unto_o we_o in_o all_o thing_n call_v we_o also_o by_o his_o own_o name_n and_o make_v we_o god_n for_o he_o say_v in_o the_o scripture_n i_o have_v say_v you_o be_v all_o god_n and_o the_o son_n of_o the_o most_o high_a but_o he_o himself_o be_v the_o god_n deify_v and_o we_o be_v but_o deify_v or_o god_n make_v by_o he_o but_o perhaps_o thou_o will_v say_v this_o reason_n of_o i_o may_v stand_v good_a in_o the_o apostle_n and_o other_o holy_a martyr_n but_o with_o thou_o who_o be_v a_o wretched_a sinner_n and_o desire_v only_o to_o be_v the_o least_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n thou_o can_v not_o see_v how_o it_o can_v consist_v give_v ear_n and_o understand_v for_o god_n in_o that_o recite_v scripture_n i_o have_v say_v you_o be_v all_o god_n etc._n etc._n except_v none_o but_o that_o thou_o may_v more_o clear_o perceive_v consider_v the_o nature_n of_o fire_n and_o of_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v put_v therein_o if_o happy_o thou_o can_v imagine_v with_o thyself_o after_o what_o manner_n in_o the_o degree_n appoint_v for_o thou_o thou_o shall_v be_v glorify_v the_o fire_n thou_o see_v be_v but_o one_o and_o of_o nature_n hot_a put_v into_o it_o either_o wood_n or_o lead_v or_o iron_n or_o all_o these_o together_o when_o the_o wood_n be_v turn_v into_o ember_n so_o that_o nothing_o appear_v unto_o thou_o but_o fire_n &_o the_o lead_n so_o melt_v that_o it_o can_v admit_v of_o a_o great_a degree_n of_o heat_n yet_o can_v neither_o of_o they_o be_v equal_a to_o iron_n for_o a_o intense_a burning_z heat_n which_o perhaps_o have_v not_o yet_o grow_v red_a with_o the_o fire_n now_o although_o every_o one_o of_o these_o do_v

the_o elect_n which_o we_o now_o speak_v of_o for_o as_o those_o who_o be_v near_a to_o the_o divine_a majesty_n and_o therefore_o better_a than_o other_o shall_v be_v call_v god_n so_o even_o those_o who_o be_v inferior_a to_o they_o because_o they_o participate_v according_a to_o their_o capacity_n of_o the_o same_o deity_n with_o those_o that_o be_v superior_a shall_v be_v likewise_o honour_v with_o the_o same_o title_n of_o god_n when_o therefore_o together_o with_o so_o much_o happiness_n thou_o have_v attain_v to_o so_o much_o honour_n i_o do_v not_o see_v with_o what_o reason_n thou_o can_v desire_v a_o great_a preferment_n while_o then_o thou_o be_v bless_v with_o the_o possession_n of_o those_o high_a benefit_n which_o we_o have_v mention_v will_v thou_o not_o think_v thyself_o sufficient_o happy_a yes_o very_o thou_o will_v say_v well_o then_o but_o if_o thou_o can_v real_o enjoy_v all_o those_o thing_n as_o we_o have_v describe_v they_o but_o for_o one_o short_a day_n will_v thou_o not_o rejoice_v no_o question_n but_o thou_o will_v but_o if_o thou_o shall_v enjoy_v they_o for_o a_o month_n or_o one_o whole_a year_n thou_o will_v rejoice_v exceed_o neither_o indeed_o do_v i_o think_v it_o possible_a to_o express_v thy_o manner_n of_o joy_n suppose_v then_o if_o thou_o shall_v possess_v this_o happiness_n all_o thy_o life-time_n what_o thou_o will_v do_v what_o price_n will_v thou_o give_v for_o so_o great_a a_o blessing_n even_o willing_o all_o that_o ever_o thou_o have_v nay_o thy_o very_o own_o self_n if_o thou_o can_v purchase_v it_o at_o no_o other_o rate_n but_o if_o beside_o all_o this_o fruition_n thou_o be_v certain_a also_o of_o a_o perpetual_a security_n and_o that_o all_o thy_o life_n long_v no_o accident_n whatsoever_o can_v rob_v thou_o of_o thy_o happiness_n i_o will_v not_o determine_v whether_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o thou_o to_o imagine_v how_o great_a thy_o joy_n will_v be_v see_v then_o that_o in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v thou_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o and_o together_o with_o the_o possession_n of_o all_o these_o thing_n thou_o shall_v also_o be_v eternal_o secure_v from_o all_o danger_n of_o lose_v they_o i_o beseech_v thou_o how_o do_v thou_o think_v it_o will_v go_v with_o thou_o i_o believe_v true_o that_o at_o the_o very_a name_n of_o security_n there_o spring_v in_o thou_o a_o certain_a joy_n of_o heart_n and_o thou_o do_v greedy_o desire_v to_o know_v whether_o thou_o may_v with_o safety_n and_o for_o ever_o enjoy_v such_o great_a and_o extraordinary_a blessing_n i_o tell_v thou_o then_o if_o thou_o be_v like_a to_o lose_v these_o thing_n thou_o must_v either_o voluntary_o and_o of_o thy_o own_o accord_n relinquish_v they_o or_o god_n must_v take_v they_o from_o thou_o whether_o thou_o will_v or_o no_o or_o else_o another_o who_o be_v more_o powerful_a than_o god_n must_v rob_v thou_o of_o they_o in_o spite_n of_o god_n and_o thyself_o but_o certain_o neither_o will_v thou_o reject_v so_o great_a a_o blessing_n and_o relapse_n into_o those_o misery_n from_o which_o thou_o have_v be_v gracious_o deliver_v neither_o will_v god_n at_o any_o time_n take_v that_o away_o which_o his_o large_a and_o merciful_a goodness_n have_v bestow_v upon_o thou_o nor_o be_v there_o any_o strong_a than_o god_n who_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o make_v thou_o miserablee_v against_o thy_o will_n as_o long_o as_o god_n be_v thy_o protector_n thou_o shall_v therefore_o secure_o and_o for_o ever_o enjoy_v all_o these_o benefit_n nor_o shall_v thou_o fear_v the_o attempt_n of_o any_o who_o will_v willing_o deprive_v thou_o of_o they_o what_o do_v thou_o think_v then_o will_v thy_o condition_n be_v when_o thou_o shall_v eternal_o enjoy_v all_o these_o thing_n namely_o beauty_n strength_n swiftness_n of_o motion_n liberty_n health_n pleasure_n length_n of_o life_n wisdom_n love_n peace_n power_n honour_n and_o a_o security_n of_o all_o as_o we_o have_v describe_v they_o nay_o above_o

which_o be_v the_o end_n and_o effect_v of_o these_o blessing_n very_o i_o can_v see_v how_o that_o man_n shall_v not_o abound_v with_o inestimable_a joy_n who_o be_v compass_v about_o with_o all_o the_o riches_n of_o eternal_a happiness_n thou_o shall_v therefore_o most_o certain_o attain_v to_o such_o a_o joy_n because_o nothing_o can_v happen_v to_o thou_o that_o shall_v minister_v occasion_n of_o grief_n for_o if_o thou_o have_v any_o friend_n who_o thou_o do_v love_v as_o well_o as_o thyself_o and_o in_o who_o good_a thou_o will_v rejoice_v as_o in_o thy_o own_o and_o shall_v see_v this_o friend_n admit_v to_o the_o same_o heaven_n and_o happiness_n with_o thyself_o will_v thou_o not_o extreme_o rejoice_v in_o his_o felicity_n but_o if_o thou_o have_v two_o or_o three_o or_o more_o such_o friend_n and_o shall_v see_v they_o all_o glorify_v with_o a_o state_n equal_a to_o thy_o own_o will_v not_o thy_o joy_n also_o exceed_v and_o increase_v together_o with_o their_o
