the_o rest_n stand_v upon_o two_o strong_a ground_n first_o if_o we_o consider_v what_o be_v common_a to_o god_n in_o this_o with_o all_o other_o but_o ordinary_a wise_a efficient_n or_o worker_n

of_o sanctification_n abide_v in_o it_o and_o righteousness_n accompany_v of_o it_o all_o that_o while_n look_v therefore_o as_o a_o child_n have_v two_o and_o but_o two_o way_n of_o live_v and_o when_o the_o one_o cease_v the_o other_o succeed_v or_o death_n will_v follow_v in_o the_o womb_n it_o live_v by_o nourishment_n from_o the_o navel_n without_o so_o much_o as_o breathe_v at_o the_o

when_o that_o which_o be_v perfect_a be_v come_v then_o that_o which_o be_v but_o in_o part_n be_v do_v away_o there_o be_v not_o a_o utter_a cease_n of_o the_o imperfect_a and_o then_o a_o interval_n

be_v thus_o perfect_a and_o in_o the_o 12_o verse_n he_o explain_v himself_o that_o the_o imperfect_a be_v this_o our_o see_v now_o in_o a_o glass_n dark_o that_o be_v by_o faith_n and_o that_o

namely_o faith_n be_v swallow_v up_o of_o the_o perfect_a namely_o sight_n now_o if_o we_o thus_o grant_v as_o we_o must_v this_o separate_a soul_n to_o have_v this_o sight_n or_o nothing_o now_o

these_o word_n receive_v the_o end_n of_o your_o faith_n the_o salvation_n of_o your_o soul_n be_v interpret_v of_o that_o joy_n unspeakable_a and_o full_a of_o glory_n which_o the_o verse_n afore_o have_v speak_v of_o in_o who_o though_o now_o you_o see_v he_o not_o yet_o believe_v you_o rejoice_v with_o joy_n unspeakable_a and_o full_a of_o glory_n so_o as_o in_o those_o joy_n vouchsafe_v the_o

and_o so_o a_o part_n of_o the_o reward_n of_o faith_n receive_v in_o hand_n as_o we_o say_v and_o vouchsafe_v over_o and_o above_o the_o ordinary_a way_n of_o live_v by_o faith_n this_o

for_o if_o while_o faith_n continue_v god_n be_v please_v to_o vouchsafe_v such_o joy_n much_o more_o when_o faith_n cease_v he_o will_v vouchsafe_v a_o full_a enjoyment_n for_o why_o else_o be_v these_o present_a joy_n term_v salvation_n that_o be_v in_o a_o sort_n part_n of_o the_o take_a possession_n of_o salvation_n aforehand_o and_o that_o as_o distinct_a from_o the_o right_n to_o

the_o day_n of_o payment_n and_o 3._o it_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o think_v that_o god_n shall_v give_v forth_o joy_n while_o faith_n continue_v and_o then_o for_o so_o long_a a_o time_n as_o till_o the_o resurrection_n withdraw_v all_o communication_n of_o himself_o both_o of_o faith_n and_o joy_n through_o sight_n also_o sure_o they_o be_v not_o leave_v worse_o than_o in_o this_o life_n they_o

it_o have_v a_o weight_n in_o it_o that_o salvation_n and_o damnation_n shall_v so_o often_o be_v say_v to_o be_v of_o the_o soul_n by_o christ_n himself_o as_o mat._n 26._o 16._o what_o shall_v it_o
