a_o man_n eye_n the_o reward_n of_o eternal_a glory_n that_o his_o face_n be_v towards_o the_o heavenly_a jerusalem_n if_o that_o be_v the_o great_a design_n of_o his_o life_n and_o he_o make_v it_o his_o principal_a care_n to_o win_v the_o crown_n of_o life_n this_o will_v certain_o set_v he_o above_o all_o cark_n care_n he_o will_v not_o stoop_v to_o those_o sordid_a enjoyment_n that_o other_o do_v he_o have_v high_a thought_n his_o mind_n be_v not_o set_v on_o the_o world_n but_o upon_o god_n upon_o glory_n upon_o life_n eternal_a and_o what_o need_v he_o trouble_v himself_o with_o the_o care_n of_o the_o world_n who_o have_v place_v all_o his_o happiness_n in_o heaven_n and_o know_v he_o can_v never_o come_v to_o the_o full_a enjoyment_n of_o it_o till_o he_o leave_v the_o world_n so_o then_o to_o have_v heaven_n and_o glory_n in_o our_o eye_n be_v the_o best_a way_n to_o get_v the_o world_n and_o all_o worldly_a care_n out_o of_o our_o heart_n 7_o a_o due_a respect_n have_v to_o this_o glorious_a reward_n it_o will_v put_v much_o holy_a courage_n and_o spiritual_a fortitude_n into_o you_o quite_o set_v you_o above_o all_o slavish_a fear_n undaunted_o will_v all_o that_o

let_v what_o storm_n will_v overtake_v they_o yet_o look_v forward_o to_o their_o harbour_n of_o eternal_a rest_n no_o distract_n servile_a fear_n can_v take_v hold_n upon_o they_o it_o be_v story_v by_o naturalist_n of_o bee_n that_o when_o out_o in_o a_o storm_n they_o gather_v up_o to_o themselves_o little_a stone_n wherewith_o they_o be_v poise_v they_o escape_v blow_v away_o and_o come_v

build_v upon_o the_o sand_n of_o a_o temporary_a faith_n may_v fall_v and_o be_v fright_v by_o storm_n of_o persecution_n out_o of_o their_o religion_n yet_o the_o true_a christian_a who_o have_v cast_v anchor_n within_o the_o veil_n fix_v his_o eye_n upon_o future_a glory_n he_o stand_v unshaken_a no_o storm_n of_o reproach_n persecution_n or_o trouble_v in_o the_o world_n can_v fright_v he_o out_o of_o heaven_n way_n 112.7_o way_n psal_n 112.7_o such_o a_o one_o will_v not_o be_v afraid_a of_o evil_a tiding_n his_o heart_n be_v fix_v trust_v in_o the_o lord_n let_v the_o blind_a world_n say_v what_o it_o will_v let_v it_o threaten_v god_n people_n with_o exile_n spoil_v of_o good_n with_o a_o fiery_a trial_n yet_o none_o of_o these_o thing_n move_v they_o but_o they_o stand_v
