live_v to_o see_v jerusalem_n the_o praise_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o that_o i_o answer_v that_o though_o it_o be_v true_a it_o will_v be_v as_o good_a for_o the_o soul_n but_o for_o soul_n and_o body_n to_o live_v here_o to_o see_v that_o glorious_a administration_n of_o god_n in_o the_o world_n to_o see_v god_n honour_v upon_o the_o earth_n where_o he_o have_v be_v so_o much_o dishonour_v certain_o it_o can_v but_o be_v a_o abundant_a satisfaction_n and_o contentment_n to_o those_o that_o be_v gracious_a and_o that_o it_o be_v desirable_a notwithstanding_o the_o objection_n i_o make_v it_o clear_o thus_o from_o the_o promise_n that_o god_n give_v to_o child_n that_o do_v obey_v their_o parent_n in_o the_o five_o commandment_n honour_v thy_o father_n and_o thy_o mother_n why_o that_o thy_o day_n may_v be_v long_o in_o the_o land_n which_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n give_v thou_o god_n make_v a_o promise_n that_o they_o shall_v enjoy_v the_o land_n of_o canaan_n and_o why_o godly_a child_n shall_v go_v to_o heaven_n if_o they_o have_v die_v but_o it_o be_v account_v a_o mercy_n to_o live_v long_o in_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n now_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n be_v but_o a_o type_n of_o the_o glorious_a church_n so_o that_o this_o be_v a_o more_o glorious_a promise_n therefore_o i_o say_v it_o be_v desirable_a to_o live_v to_o see_v what_o god_n intend_v to_o do_v in_o these_o concussion_n it_o be_v observe_v by_o some_o that_o john_n do_v never_o fall_v down_o to_o worship_v the_o angel_n but_o twice_o and_o twice_o he_o fall_v down_o and_o worship_v the_o angel_n but_o you_o shall_v observe_v it_o if_o you_o examine_v the_o place_n it_o be_v when_o the_o angel_n bring_v he_o the_o tiding_n of_o this_o glorious_a jerusalem_n and_o john_n heart_n be_v so_o take_v with_o these_o tiding_n as_o indeed_o he_o forget_v himself_o so_o far_o as_o to_o fall_v down_o and_o worship_v the_o angel_n which_o be_v sinful_a but_o i_o note_v it_o for_o this_o end_n to_o show_v how_o mighty_o the_o heart_n of_o john_n be_v take_v with_o the_o tiding_n of_o this_o new_a jerusalem_n and_o god_n expect_v that_o though_o we_o have_v but_o a_o glimpse_n of_o it_o now_o yet_o that_o our_o heart_n shall_v be_v much_o take_v with_o the_o tiding_n of_o this_o glorious_a jerusalem_n when_o it_o shall_v be_v make_v the_o praise_n of_o the_o earth_n christ_n have_v humble_v himself_o in_o this_o world_n and_o have_v be_v dishonour_v here_o and_o therefore_o the_o father_n will_v advance_v he_o and_o honour_v he_o in_o this_o world_n as_o well_o as_o in_o heaven_n and_o the_o heathen_a and_o uttermost_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v give_v to_o christ_n for_o a_o possession_n but_o christ_n have_v not_o have_v it_o yet_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o strengthen_v our_o faith_n and_o joyful_o expect_v such_o a_o time_n as_o this_o be_v those_o who_o heart_n be_v carnal_a and_o sensual_a they_o mind_v only_o carnal_a and_o sensual_a thing_n and_o can_v believe_v these_o thing_n but_o such_o as_o have_v faith_n to_o believe_v they_o be_v able_a to_o rejoice_v in_o the_o expectation_n of_o this_o glory_n that_o be_v to_o be_v reveal_v four_o these_o truth_n that_o have_v be_v deliver_v about_o this_o glory_n of_o the_o new_a jerusalem_n they_o call_v for_o heavenly_a heart_n they_o call_v off_o all_o our_o heart_n from_o the_o earth_n why_o shall_v we_o have_v our_o heart_n grovel_v upon_o the_o earth_n when_o as_o god_n have_v reveal_v such_o glorious_a thing_n as_o these_o be_v in_o the_o 60._o of_o isa_n v_o 1._o arise_v shine_v for_o thy_o light_n be_v come_v and_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v rise_v upon_o thou_o i_o may_v make_v use_n of_o it_o at_o least_o by_o way_n of_o allusion_n thus_o o_o arise_v and_o shine_v in_o heavenliness_n and_o shake_v off_o the_o dust_n of_o this_o earth_n for_o here_o you_o hear_v of_o the_o glory_n of_o this_o lord_n and_o who_o know_v but_o it_o may_v very_o sudden_o within_o a_o little_a time_n arise_v upon_o we_o yet_o the_o very_a hear_n of_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o cause_v we_o to_o shake_v off_o all_o earthliness_n from_o our_o spirit_n when_o john_n be_v show_v the_o new_a jerusalem_n he_o be_v carry_v up_o upon_o the_o mountain_n so_o if_o we_o will_v understand_v the_o glory_n of_o this_o jerusalem_n we_o must_v get_v up_o our_o heart_n on_o high_a it_o be_v a_o observation_n of_o mr._n brightman_n upon_o the_o 4_o the_o of_o revel_v where_o we_o have_v describe_v the_o four_o live_a creature_n the_o lion_n the_o ox_n the_o man_n and_o the_o

primitive_a time_n they_o have_v lion-like_a spirit_n that_o be_v able_a to_o encounter_v the_o rage_n of_o persecute_v emperor_n to_o endure_v all_o kind_n of_o torment_n without_o have_v their_o heart_n daunt_v at_o all_o the_o second_o state_n of_o the_o church_n be_v the_o ox_n that_o be_v antichrist_n prevail_v they_o be_v as_o a_o ox_n that_o be_v a_o heavy_a and_o dull_a creature_n fit_a to_o bear_v burden_n but_o then_o the_o three_o be_v the_o man_n that_o be_v a_o man_n come_v to_o inquire_v after_o the_o reason_n of_o thing_n and_o to_o understand_v thing_n and_o do_v desire_v liberty_n why_o now_o say_v he_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o reformation_n the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n be_v like_o a_o man._n they_o will_v not_o be_v under_o such_o base_a thraldom_n to_o take_v the_o yoke_n of_o antichrist_n as_o they_o do_v before_o before_o they_o be_v lead_v like_o beast_n but_o now_o they_o be_v as_o man_n they_o will_v understand_v what_o they_o do_v and_o then_o the_o four_o be_v like_o a_o eagle_n that_o be_v soar_v aloft_o on_o high_a when_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v in_o this_o glorious_a condition_n man_n shall_v be_v of_o heavenly_a mind_n they_o shall_v soar_v up_o like_o the_o eagle_n to_o be_v above_o the_o earth_n and_o certain_o such_o disposition_n be_v fit_a for_o this_o new_a jerusalem_n and_o though_o it_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v yet_o we_o shall_v labour_v to_o be_v of_o such_o disposition_n as_o be_v fit_a for_o it_o and_o that_o be_v the_o five_o use_v to_o prepare_v for_o these_o time_n fit_v ourselves_o first_o by_o the_o

the_o saint_n be_v prepare_v to_o meet_v with_o christ_n the_o apply_v of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n by_o faith_n that_o be_v the_o wedding-garment_n when_o christian_n come_v to_o

the_o very_a grace_n of_o god_n in_o the_o point_n of_o justification_n but_o certain_o that_o point_n be_v darken_v much_o by_o many_o error_n but_o now_o the_o clear_a understanding_n the_o point_n
