my_o belove_a son_n in_o who_o i_o be_o well_o please_v hear_v you_o he_o and_o in_o the_o 9_o of_o the_o act_n we_o find_v st._n paul_n in_o his_o journey_n to_o damascus_n surprise_v with_o a_o unusual_a glory_n with_o a_o heavenly_a light_n and_o brightness_n a_o brightness_n that_o surpass_v that_o of_o the_o sun_n as_o st._n paul_n afterward_o affirm_v to_o king_n agrippa_n and_o a_o voice_n from_o above_o to_o attest_v that_o jesus_n be_v not_o wrap_v up_o in_o but_o be_v that_o light_n and_o glory_n some_o ray_n of_o which_o be_v but_o dart_v upon_o the_o proto-martyr_n stephen_n and_o present_o all_o those_o that_o sit_v in_o the_o council_n look_v steadfast_o upon_o he_o see_v his_o face_n as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v the_o face_n of_o a_o angel_n god_n give_v he_o a_o foretaste_n and_o a_o earnest_n of_o his_o future_a happiness_n to_o make_v he_o steady_a and_o unshaken_a amid_o all_o the_o assault_n of_o his_o persecutor_n that_o he_o may_v slight_v and_o despise_v all_o the_o gaiety_n of_o this_o life_n in_o comparison_n of_o that_o glory_n with_o which_o he_o shall_v be_v hereafter_o encircle_v for_o he_o that_o be_v able_a to_o perform_v have_v promise_v that_o the_o righteous_a shall_v appear_v as_o the_o sun_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o their_o father_n which_o he_o have_v purchase_v for_o all_o those_o who_o look_v unto_o jesus_n shall_v endure_v the_o cross_n and_o despise_v the_o shame_n and_o fight_v the_o good_a fight_n of_o faith_n under_o the_o lord_n banner_n successful_o 2._o and_o this_o lead_v we_o to_o to_o our_o second_o thing_n considerable_a namely_o that_o this_o change_n will_v be_v for_o the_o better_a of_o a_o vile_a to_o a_o glorious_a body_n from_o su●h_a vileness_n as_o we_o can_v express_v unto_o such_o glory_n as_o we_o can_v conceive_v have_v already_o in_o some_o measure_n see_v what_o the_o glorify_a saint_n shall_v be_v fashion_v to_o we_o need_v go_v no_o far_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o advantage_n of_o our_o change_n than_o to_o compare_v our_o present_a state_n with_o our_o future_a glorification_n and_o true_o a_o man_n need_v not_o be_v very_o inquisitive_a to_o find_v out_o that_o this_o world_n be_v the_o place_n of_o sorrow_n and_o disappointment_n of_o regret_n and_o dissatisfaction_n of_o lust_n and_o wickedness_n the_o whole_a world_n be_v full_a of_o snare_n and_o hazard_n and_o we_o be_v no_o soon_o drop_v into_o it_o but_o we_o be_v encompass_v with_o so_o many_o danger_n that_o we_o may_v well_o say_v that_o we_o be_v get_v into_o the_o quarter_n of_o a_o enemy_n and_o every_o where_o expose_v to_o ruin_n if_o we_o get_v into_o the_o shade_n and_o solitude_n there_o our_o passion_n distract_v and_o worry_v we_o and_o we_o can_v be_v alone_o since_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o legion_n if_o in_o a_o crowd_n and_o company_n we_o have_v vice_n and_o bad_a disposition_n stamp_v with_o the_o insinuate_a character_n of_o good_a nature_n and_o civility_n imprint_v upon_o we_o and_o from_o such_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o think_v of_o a_o retreat_n indeed_o can_v we_o have_v a_o prospect_n of_o this_o miserable_a theatre_n we_o shall_v quick_o see_v enough_o to_o rebate_v our_o keen_a affection_n and_o to_o make_v we_o nauseate_a the_o most_o splendid_a scene_n and_o representation_n that_o be_v act_v in_o it_o the_o horror_n of_o war_n and_o

treachery_n cruelty_n and_o oppression_n will_v stifle_v our_o envy_n notwithstanding_o their_o gold_n and_o embroidery_n their_o long_a retinue_n and_o splendid_a equipage_n and_o the_o other_o lackey_n of_o greatness_n alas_o it_o be_v but_o all_o a_o imaginary_a pomp_n and_o a_o mere_a ostentation_n of_o vanity_n the_o spectacle_n vanish_v whilst_o you_o look_v upon_o it_o or_o death_n draw_v the_o curtain_n and_o shuffle_n we_o into_o the_o region_n of_o darkness_n we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o place_v amid_o such_o troop_n of_o malicious_a accident_n that_o it_o be_v a_o miracle_n
