in_o which_o the_o christian_a world_n be_v most_o unjust_o rob_v of_o one_o half_a of_o that_o legacy_n which_o christ_n bequeath_v to_o we_o in_o his_o last_o will_n and_o testament_n which_o as_o

pain_n or_o insensible_a of_o pleasure_n and_o happiness_n for_o as_o our_o happiness_n will_v always_o abound_v with_o fresh_a pleasure_n so_o our_o faculty_n will_v never_o be_v cloy_v with_o the_o

a_o while_n before_o we_o can_v renew_v they_o and_o begin_v the_o motion_n again_o those_o heavenly_a pleasure_n be_v such_o as_o will_v indeed_o most_o vehement_o affect_v and_o move_v but_o never_o

more_o we_o rejoice_v the_o more_o we_o shall_v know_v and_o love_n and_o so_o in_o this_o sweet_a but_o endless_a circle_n we_o shall_v move_v round_o for_o ever_o without_o weariness_n and_o be_v so_o far_o from_o spend_v our_o vigour_n that_o every_o moment_n of_o eternity_n we_o shall_v improve_v it_o by_o exercise_n and_o motion_n so_o that_o as_o our_o happiness_n will_v always_o abound_v with_o new_a pleasure_n without_o any_o discontinuance_n or_o intermission_n so_o our_o faculty_n will_v always_o renew_v their_o strength_n and_o vigour_n by_o enjoyment_n and_o as_o there_o will_v be_v no_o pause_v between_o one_o joy_n and_o another_o but_o they_o will_v come_v so_o thick_a upon_o we_o for_o ever_o that_o the_o follower_n will_v always_o tread_v on_o the_o foregoer_n heel_n so_o one_o will_v still_o make_v room_n for_o another_o and_o those_o that_o be_v present_a will_v enlarge_v our_o capacity_n to_o receive_v all_o those_o that_o be_v immediate_o to_o follow_v and_o
