the_o vast_a extent_n of_o this_o inheritance_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o likewise_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o as_o to_o its_o extent_n it_o be_v not_o confine_v to_o a_o parish_n or_o county_n or_o

to_o god_n that_o they_o be_v not_o there_o all_o the_o glorious_a light_n in_o the_o firmament_n afford_v they_o a_o most_o delicious_a prospect_n in_o short_a all_z the_o animal_n and_o plant_n and_o earth_n and_o stone_n and_o metal_n and_o mineral_n and_o whatsoever_o else_o god_n ever_o make_v either_o in_o heaven_n or_o earth_n afford_v they_o a_o clear_a and_o perfect_a view_n of_o his_o divine_a perfection_n which_o can_v but_o affect_v their_o heart_n with_o the_o high_a transport_n of_o joy_n and_o wonder_n thus_o do_v every_o saint_n in_o heaven_n inherit_v all_o thing_n all_o thing_n be_v he_o and_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n for_o god_n himself_o be_v he_o as_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o place_n before_o quote_v he_o shall_v inherit_v all_o thing_n and_o i_o will_v be_v

all_o thing_n for_o he_o who_o have_v he_o that_o have_v all_o thing_n can_v but_o have_v all_o thing_n in_o he_o yea_o infinite_o more_o than_o all_o thing_n else_o all_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v make_v be_v in_o a_o manner_n nothing_o in_o comparison_n of_o he_o that_o make_v they_o who_o therefore_o to_o complete_a the_o happiness_n of_o his_o saint_n do_v not_o only_o give_v they_o all_o he_o have_v but_o even_o himself_o too_o say_v i_o will_v be_v their_o god_n or_o rather_o as_o the_o word_n signify_v i_o will_v be_v god_n to_o they_o by_o virtue_n of_o which_o promise_n they_o

god_n or_o how_o great_a a_o happiness_n that_o be_v to_o they_o only_o in_o general_n we_o know_v they_o see_v god_n face_n to_o face_n as_o not_o only_a st._n paul_n but_o 12._o likewise_o st._n john_n aquaint_v we_o say_v belove_a now_o we_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o it_o do_v not_o yet_o 2._o appear_v what_o we_o shall_v be_v but_o we_o know_v that_o when_o he_o shall_v appear_v we_o shall_v be_v like_o he_o for_o we_o shall_v see_v he_o as_o he_o be_v from_o whence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o they_o see_v god_n not_o only_o as_o manifest_v himself_o in_o his_o creature_n but_o as_o he_o be_v in_o himself_o which_o bless_a sight_n must_v needs_o fill_v they_o with_o the_o high_a joy_n their_o finite_a nature_n be_v able_a to_o bear_v to_o see_v wisdom_n and_o power_n and_o greatness_n and_o goodness_n and_o justice_n and_o mercy_n and_o immensity_n and_o eternity_n to_o see_v the_o lord_n of_o host_n the_o chief_a the_o only_a good_a to_o see_v god_n himself_o unvail_v himself_o and_o shine_v forth_o in_o all_o his_o glory_n before_o they_o yea_o to_o see_v he_o smile_v as_o it_o be_v upon_o they_o rejoice_v over_o they_o mean_v himself_o as_o well-pleased_n with_o they_o who_o be_v able_a to_o conceive_v how_o much_o their_o bless_a soul_n be_v affect_v delight_a transport_v with_o this_o bless_a sight_n none_o certain_o but_o only_o they_o that_o have_v it_o they_o know_v yea_o they_o feel_v it_o to_o be_v the_o great_a the_o only_a perfect_a happiness_n they_o can_v possible_o enjoy_v and_o that_o all_o thing_n else_o can_v never_o satisfy_v their_o desire_n and_o so_o make_v they_o happy_a without_o this_o whereas_o this_o will_v do_v it_o without_o all_o thing_n else_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o desire_v any_o thing_n but_o what_o they_o have_v in_o god_n infinite_a goodness_n itself_o in_o who_o by_o consequence_n all_o their_o inclination_n meet_v as_o in_o their_o proper_a centre_n and_o so_o their_o mind_n be_v always_o at_o rest_n and_o quiet_a and_o their_o soul_n full_a as_o they_o can_v hold_v of_o solid_a and_o substantial_a joy_n which_o make_v they_o break_v forth_o continual_o into_o praise_n and_o hallelujah_n to_o almighty_a god_n and_o to_o the_o lamb_n that_o sit_v upon_o the_o throne_n who_o purchase_v such_o a_o glorious_a inheritance_n as_o this_o be_v for_o they_o
