die_v in_o faith_n and_o receive_v not_o the_o promise_n but_o see_v they_o a_o far_o of_o and_o beleve_v they_o and_o receive_v they_o thankful_o and_o confess_v that_o they_o be_v stranger_n and_o pilgrim_n on_o the_o earth_n for_o they_o that_o say_v such_o thing_n declare_v plain_o that_o they_o seek_v a_o country_n and_o sure_o if_o they_o have_v be_v mindful_a of_o that_o country_n from_o whence_o they_o come_v they_o be_v at_o leisure_n to_o have_v return_v thither_o but_o now_o they_o desire_n another_o much_o better_a which_o be_v a_o heavenly_a one_o and_o now_o let_v we_o see_v how_o these_o our_o sleaper_n frame_v their_o jolly_a argument_n for_o say_v they_o if_o they_o desire_n the_o heavenly_a country_n then_o do_v they_o not_o inherit_v it_o but_o we_o frame_v it_o after_o this_o manner_n and_o say_v if_o they_o desire_n it_o then_o have_v they_o a_o be_v for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o desire_n without_o there_o be_v some_o to_o desire_n now_o i_o will_v draw_v but_o this_o out_o of_o they_o that_o where_o there_o be_v a_o desire_n there_o must_v also_o be_v a_o feel_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a which_o desire_n must_v either_o follow_v the_o thing_n that_o seem_v good_a or_o eschew_v that_o which_o seem_v evil_a why_o say_v they_o this_o desire_n rea_v whole_o in_o god_n now_o tell_v i_o i_o beseech_v you_o be_v it_o possible_a to_o think_v or_o devise_v a_o more_o ridiculous_a say_n and_o to_o say_v true_o you_o shall_v see_v that_o of_o these_o two_o point_n we_o shall_v gain_v unto_o ourselves_o one_o of_o they_o either_o that_o god_n desier_v some_o better_a thing_n than_o he_o have_v or_o else_o that_o there_o be_v something_o in_o god_n which_o be_v not_o of_o god_n and_o this_o make_v i_o think_v that_o these_o gallaunte_v do_v bury_v at_o a_o earnest_n and_o w●●ghtie_a matter_n but_o now_o let_v we_o leave_v to_o speak_v of_o all_o this_o gear_n and_o see_v what_o the_o time_n or_o space_n of_o return_v mean_v let_v they_o therefore_o return_v with_o a_o good_a mind_n and_o hear_v a_o better_a thing_n than_o this_o fantastical_a opinion_n which_o hitherto_o they_o have_v hold_v the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o abraham_n and_o of_o his_o posterity_n who_o dwell_v out_o of_o their_o country_n amongst_o stranger_n and_o they_o differ_v not_o great_o as_o it_o be_v from_o banish_a man_n or_o else_o as_o seaiourne_v because_o they_o have_v scarce_o any_o tent_n or_o cabin_n to_o cover_v they_o withal_o follow_v the_o commandment_n which_o the_o lord_n g&ue_v g&ue_v g&ue_v unto_o abraham_n which_o be_v this_o that_o he_o shall_v leave_v his_o parent_n and_o kinsfolk_n and_o get_v he_o out_o of_o the_o land_n for_o god_n have_v promise_v they_o a_o thing_n which_o as_o yet_o he_o have_v not_o manifest_v and_o perform_v and_o so_o they_o see_v the_o promise_n a_o far_o of_o and_o die_v in_o a_o sure_a faith_n that_o it_o will_v one_o day_n come_v to_o pass_v that_o god_n will_v fulfil_v his_o promise_n by_o which_o faith_n they_o confess_v that_o they_o have_v no_o certain_a and_o sure_a abide_n or_o dwell_v place_n on_o earth_n but_o that_o they_o have_v a_o country_n which_o be_v not_o on_o the_o earth_n and_o which_o they_o wish_v for_o to_o wit_n heaven_n and_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o chapter_n he_o show_v that_o all_o they_o who_o he_o there_o speak_v of_o receive_v not_o the_o last_o promise_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v not_o come_v to_o perfection_n without_o us._n and_o so_o if_o these_o our_o sleaper_n have_v observe_v the_o propriety_n of_o this_o say_n they_o have_v never_o raise_v up_o so_o many_o trouble_n now_o it_o be_v a_o wonder_n to_o see_v how_o blind_a they_o be_v in_o so_o great_a light_n but_o yet_o this_o be_v a_o more_o strange_a thing_n that_o they_o geve_v we_o bread_n in_o stead_n of_o stone_n to_o wit_n while_o they_o go_v about_o to_o overthrow_v the_o cause_n they_o maintain_v and_o uphold_v it_o now_o for_o the_o matter_n which_o be_v speak_v of_o thabita_n in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n 9.40_o acts._n 9.40_o they_o think_v they_o have_v by_o it_o a_o sure_a pillar_n to_o lean_v unto_o for_o she_o be_v a_o scholar_n of_o jesus_n christ_n full_a of_o good_a work_n and_o a_o good_a alm_n woman_n be_v raise_v again_o by_o s._n peter_n and_o therefore_o say_v they_o thabita_n have_v great_a wrong_n if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o we_o say_v that_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n do_v live_v in_o god_n and_o with_o god_n because_o she_o be_v take_v away_o from_o the_o company_n of_o god_n and_o from_o that_o bless_a life_n to_o return_v into_o this_o sea_n of_o wickedness_n as_o though_o we_o can_v not_o return_v the_o self_n and_o same_o thing_n again_o upon_o their_o own_o head_n for_o be_v it_o that_o she_o sleapt_v or_o that_o she_o be_v nothing_o yet_o be_v she_o bless_v because_o she_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o expedient_a that_o she_o shall_v return_v in_o that_o life_n which_o she_o have_v finish_v they_o themselves_o have_v snarl_a this_o knot_n and_o therefore_o let_v they_o first_o of_o all_o loose_a it_o again_o if_o they_o please_v for_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v subject_a to_o that_o law_n which_o they_o make_v for_o other_o notwithstanding_o we_o will_v easy_o enough_o undo_v it_o for_o the_o state_n and_o condition_n which_o be_v prepare_v for_o we_o after_o death_n which_o s._n paul_n speak_v of_o himself_o be_v put_v over_o to_o all_o the_o faithful_a to_o wit_n 1.21_o
