these_o follow_a proposition_n 1._o all_o sincere_a christian_n be_v willing_a to_o be_v with_o christ_n above_o for_o they_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v pilgrim_n and_o stranger_n on_o the_o earth_n and_o declare_v plain_o by_o the_o tenor_n of_o their_o life_n that_o they_o seek_v another_o country_n their_o conversation_n and_o their_o heart_n be_v in_o heaven_n they_o have_v set_v their_o affection_n upon_o and_o seek_v after_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v above_o 2._o colos_n 3.1_o 2._o where_o christ_n sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n they_o love_v he_o more_o than_o life_n itself_o and_o can_v bear_v the_o thought_n of_o be_v eternal_o at_o so_o great_a a_o distance_n from_o he_o they_o have_v be_v draw_v to_o he_o by_o that_o promise_n among_o other_o 12.26_o john_n 12.26_o where_o i_o be_o my_o servant_n also_o shall_v be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o it_o therefore_o can_v but_o be_v grateful_a to_o they_o it_o be_v the_o main_a business_n of_o their_o life_n to_o prepare_v for_o a_o eternal_a abide_v with_o he_o and_o ministration_n before_o he_o in_o the_o holy_a of_o all_o this_o be_v what_o they_o have_v in_o their_o eye_n as_o the_o great_a end_n of_o their_o attendance_n on_o he_o in_o his_o ordinance_n and_o be_v it_o possible_a for_o they_o to_o be_v unwilling_a to_o enjoy_v what_o they_o be_v continual_o provide_v for_o they_o hope_v for_o heaven_n and_o that_o can_v be_v without_o desire_v to_o be_v there_o that_o they_o may_v have_v the_o near_a conjunction_n with_o he_o and_o the_o full_a enjoyment_n of_o he_o 2._o all_o holy_a soul_n be_v willing_a in_o the_o general_a to_o die_v some_o time_n or_o other_o that_o they_o may_v be_v with_o he_o this_o follow_v from_o the_o forego_n particular_a they_o know_v there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n but_o be_v absent_a from_o the_o body_n to_o get_v to_o he_o this_o therefore_o do_v so_o far_o reconcile_v they_o to_o death_n that_o they_o have_v rather_o on_o the_o whole_a submit_v to_o its_o stroke_n than_o to_o a_o eternal_a distance_n from_o he_o who_o their_o soul_n love_v they_o fear_v the_o king_n of_o terror_n indeed_o but_o they_o fear_v and_o abhor_v a_o everlasting_a separation_n from_o christ_n a_o great_a deal_n more_o though_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o point_n many_o of_o they_o be_v afraid_a to_o die_v and_o ready_a to_o contradict_v all_o again_o yet_o they_o will_v not_o for_o all_o this_o world_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o it_o live_v always_o if_o they_o may_v in_o their_o present_a state_n and_o this_o do_v not_o flow_v from_o a_o sullen_a and_o impatient_a humour_n for_o 3._o a_o holy_a soul_n willingness_n to_o die_v proceed_v from_o noble_a principle_n he_o be_v not_o like_o the_o man_n of_o this_o world_n who_o when_o cross_v in_o discontent_n passion_n and_o despair_n mad_o wish_v for_o death_n and_o sometime_o sinful_o hasten_v it_o which_o be_v not_o a_o desire_v to_o be_v with_o christ_n but_o only_o to_o be_v out_o of_o their_o present_a misery_n not_o but_o that_o a_o sincere_a christian_a may_v have_v those_o short-lived_a fit_n and_o pang_n that_o be_v very_o unbecoming_a but_o these_o be_v the_o sinful_a infirmity_n of_o the_o man_n not_o the_o holy_a groan_n of_o the_o saint_n within_o which_o we_o be_v now_o speak_v of_o the_o accidental_a fret_v of_o a_o rich_a and_o generous_a wine_n must_v be_v distinguish_v from_o its_o natural_a ferment_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o a_o sense_n of_o those_o misery_n that_o press_v so_o hard_o upon_o they_o be_v a_o help_n to_o these_o desire_n be_v burden_v we_o groan_v after_o the_o heavenly_a house_n 5.4_o 2_o cor._n 5.4_o but_o the_o true_a spring_n of_o their_o willingness_n to_o depart_v be_v such_o as_o these_o a_o certain_a knowledge_n and_o serious_a consideration_n of_o the_o happiness_n of_o be_v with_o christ_n and_o how_o much_o better_o that_o be_v than_o to_o continue_v here_o a_o new_a nature_n that_o tend_v to_o the_o place_n whence_o it_o come_v a_o divine_a faith_n love_n to_o christ_n some_o degree_n of_o a_o weanedness_n from_o and_o deadness_n to_o this_o world_n and_o a_o serious_a preparation_n for_o the_o next_o some_o good_a hope_n through_o grace_n of_o eternal_a life_n some_o taste_n of_o the_o sweetness_n of_o a_o imperfect_a fellowship_n with_o christ_n here_o below_o and_o desire_n of_o drink_v more_o of_o this_o water_n of_o life_n at_o the_o fountainhead_n these_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o make_v these_o dove_n be_v upon_o the_o wing_n ready_a to_o fly_v away_o towards_o heaven_n but_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o too_o forward_o to_o be_v go_v for_o 4._o this_o willingness_n be_v due_o regulate_v with_o a_o entire_a submission_n to_o the_o divine_a will._n though_o they_o be_v in_o a_o close_a and_o painful_a confinement_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o for_o break_v prison_n but_o resolve_v to_o wait_v till_o they_o be_v release_v by_o authority_n they_o be_v not_o like_o a_o hasty_a

have_v any_o work_n and_o service_n for_o they_o to_o do_v in_o this_o world_n consider_v that_o the_o presence_n of_o christ_n when_o they_o be_v introduce_v into_o it_o will_v make_v abundant_a
