and_o he_o must_v be_v eternal_o glorify_v by_o we_o in_o heaven_n therefore_o he_o must_v confer_v upon_o we_o a_o eternal_a suitable_a estate_n enable_v we_o to_o give_v he_o glory_n for_o all_o

glory_n from_o he_o as_o the_o return_n of_o water_n to_o the_o sea_n be_v suitable_a unto_o those_o flood_n which_o they_o receive_v from_o it_o therefore_o our_o estate_n in_o this_o heavenly_a

the_o promise_n make_v unto_o we_o but_o a_o eternal_a estate_n agree_v unto_o the_o promise_n of_o eternity_n we_o do_v in_o this_o life_n and_o shall_v in_o that_o to_o come_v receive_v nothing_o

of_o all_o his_o do_n and_o our_o suffering_n to_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o his_o holiness_n yea_o as_o david_n confess_v all_o his_o work_n through_o out_o whole_a life_n time_n be_v nothing_o
