it_o all_o the_o substance_n of_o peace_n yet_o be_v a_o invisible_a reward_n it_o be_v above_o the_o consideration_n of_o our_o outward_a man_n therefore_o we_o must_v take_v it_o in_o the_o wide_a

while_o he_o sleep_v it_o awake_v and_o delightful_o expatiate_v over_o his_o joy_n for_o it_o be_v now_o like_o a_o mariner_n set_v on_o shore_n and_o stand_v safe_a upon_o fix_a ground_n whereas_o

his_o repose_n whatever_o distraction_n it_o may_v meet_v with_o in_o his_o life_n they_o be_v all_o bury_v with_o the_o sufferer_n the_o doubt_n and_o scruple_n be_v take_v away_o and_o no_o more_o

on_o because_o there_o be_v proper_a matter_n for_o sense_n to_o regard_n and_o from_o thence_o to_o form_v the_o notion_n of_o peace_n and_o this_o be_v ground_v upon_o a_o threefold_a remark_n 1._o of_o the_o cause_n 2._o of_o the_o manner_n 3._o of_o the_o consequence_n of_o his_o end_n first_o the_o cause_n have_v a_o brightness_n in_o it_o to_o strike_v our_o sense_n when_o we_o see_v truth_n

and_o victory_n may_v be_v pleader_n of_o right_a but_o blood_n and_o sacrilege_n the_o overthrower_n and_o so_o the_o primitive_a confessor_n powerful_o convince_v the_o heathen_a world_n by_o a_o single_a maintenance_n of_o their_o cause_n alone_o they_o triumph_v in_o what_o they_o profess_v because_o alone_o they_o stand_v up_o champion_n to_o defend_v whence_o those_o that_o see_v they_o

can_v produce_v one_o and_o let_v god_n call_v but_o warrant_v the_o like_a appearance_n the_o goodness_n of_o a_o christian_a profession_n as_o it_o will_v arm_v a_o saint_n to_o acknowledge_v it_o so_o it_o will_v justify_v he_o to_o any_o enemy_n by_o the_o constancy_n of_o his_o defend_n next_o the_o manner_n be_v visible_a when_o we_o see_v in_o the_o witness_a meekness_n and_o charity_n faith_n and_o devotion_n match_v and_o join_v which_o speak_v of_o themselves_o a_o tranquillity_n of_o mind_n a_o compassion_n for_o sinner_n a_o conscience_n of_o glory_n and_o last_o a_o fitness_n for_o heaven_n a_o stout_a defence_n be_v nothing_o without_o grace_n to_o accompany_v it_o for_o both_o history_n and_o experience_n can_v furnish_v we_o with_o example_n of_o the_o vanity_n of_o

saint_n of_o old_a by_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o departure_n prove_v the_o gloriousness_n of_o their_o end_n a_o heavenly_a flame_n appear_v in_o their_o act_n which_o direct_v the_o spectator_n to_o look_v upward_o when_o they_o die_v and_o this_o kind_n of_o religious_a spirit_n all_o true_a martyr_n be_v endue_v with_o therefore_o to_o behold_v they_o in_o their_o last_o part_n with_o what_o piety_n they_o manage_v it_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o their_o bless_a saviour_n be_v to_o be_v alike_o convince_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o their_o state_n and_o what_o a_o kingdom_n

here_o be_v complete_a and_o the_o very_a eye_n of_o sense_n can_v bring_v in_o its_o testimony_n that_o the_o end_n of_o the_o righteous_a be_v peace_n i_o will_v not_o be_v think_v to_o anticipate_v
