secure_a be_v the_o happiness_n of_o every_o believer_n who_o have_v the_o word_n of_o such_o a_o person_n to_o reward_v all_o his_o service_n and_o to_o crown_v all_o his_o labour_n who_o be_v holy_a

be_v give_v unto_o all_o not_o a_o penny_n as_o in_o the_o vineyard_n but_o a_o crown_n as_o in_o the_o race_n none_o that_o be_v faithful_a shall_v be_v without_o a_o crown_n though_o there_o may_v be_v some_o accidental_a difference_n the_o glory_n of_o heaven_n be_v not_o gavelkind_a in_o which_o every_o son_n or_o heir-male_a inherit_v a_o equal_a portion_n of_o h●s_a ancestor_n estate_n we_o may_v as_o i_o conceive_v pious_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v consonant_a to_o scripture_n as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o stream_n of_o antiquity_n that_o there_o be_v degree_n of_o glory_n but_o not_o according_a to_o the_o roman_a scale_n who_o have_v hammer_v and_o beat_v out_o certain_a little_a crown_n which_o they_o ascribe_v only_o to_o virgin_n to_o martyr_n to_o doctor_n and_o be_v produce_v from_o their_o own_o extraordinary_a merit_n not_o from_o the_o immediate_a ray_n of_o christ_n glory_n shed_v upon_o they_o but_o sure_o the_o metal_n must_v be_v alchemy_n and_o not_o

stand_v in_o a_o direct_a opposition_n unto_o the_o crown_n of_o mortal_a prince_n which_o have_v neither_o life_n nor_o length_n the_o gold_n and_o gem_n of_o which_o they_o consist_v be_v both_o liveless_a and_o corruptible_a but_o they_o that_o wear_v they_o be_v far_o more_o transient_a and_o fade_a how_o inconsiderable_a ofttimes_o be_v the_o distance_n between_o the_o joyful_a coronation_n and_o the_o sad_a funeral_n of_o the_o same_o prince_n how_o soon_o be_v the_o powder_a ermine_n exchange_v for_o a_o wind_a sheet_n the_o stately_a palace_n for_o a_o small_a urn_n and_o

bring_v forth_o a_o plentiful_a harvest_n when_o in_o this_o one_o promise_n be_v not_o only_o scatter_v ear_n of_o corn_n which_o like_o the_o disciple_n we_o may_v rub_v in_o our_o hand_n and_o eat_v in_o our_o journey_n but_o load_v wain_n of_o heavenly_a grain_n which_o like_o the_o rich_a man_n in_o the_o gospel_n we_o may_v treasure_n up_o and_o free_o live_v upon_o until_o we_o come_v to_o be_v true_o above_o the_o use_n of_o mean_n and_o to_o derive_v our_o happiness_n immediate_o from_o the_o fruition_n of_o god_n both_o in_o respect_n of_o presence_n and_o of_o influence_n but_o it_o can_v be_v expect_v that_o in_o one_o hour_n such_o a_o ample_a harvest_n shall_v be_v reap_v or_o that_o all_o the_o foregoing_a particular_n shall_v be_v insist_v upon_o by_o i_o i_o shall_v therefore_o without_o break_v the_o order_n of_o the_o word_n begin_v with_o the_o precept_n be_v thou_o faithful_a unto_o the_o death_n and_o in_o the_o explication_n of_o it_o propound_v three_o
