cry_v holy_a holy_a holy_a be_v the_o lord_n of_o host_n the_o whole_a 8._o earth_n be_v full_a of_o his_o glory_n and_o hence_o also_o it_o be_v that_o when_o god_n design_v to_o make_v man_n after_o his_o own_o image_n as_o like_v he_o as_o a_o creature_n can_v be_v he_o make_v he_o perfect_o holy_a and_o now_o that_o this_o image_n be_v deface_v in_o we_o if_o it_o be_v restore_v again_o to_o any_o man_n so_o that_o he_o become_v a_o new_a man_n he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v create_v after_o god_n that_o be_v after_o the_o likeness_n of_o god_n in_o righteousness_n 24._o and_o true_a holiness_n so_o that_o this_o be_v the_o great_a perfection_n wherein_o we_o be_v at_o first_o make_v and_o aught_o again_o to_o become_v like_a to_o god_n our_o maker_n who_o therefore_o command_v we_o to_o be_v holy_a as_o he_o be_v holy_a as_o he_o who_o have_v call_v you_o be_v holy_a 15._o so_o be_v you_o holy_a in_o all_o manner_n of_o conversation_n from_o whence_o it_o appear_v that_o though_o we_o can_v be_v holy_a in_o the_o same_o measure_n as_o god_n be_v who_o be_v so_o without_o and_o beyond_o all_o measure_n yet_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o he_o be_v or_o rather_o our_o holiness_n shall_v be_v of_o the_o same_o kind_a or_o nature_n with_o he_o and_o as_o like_v it_o as_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o it_o to_o be_v hence_o therefore_o as_o holiness_n when_o attribute_v to_o god_n denote_v the_o purity_n and_o excellency_n of_o his_o divine_a nature_n whereby_o he_o be_v exalt_v above_o all_o thing_n else_o so_o when_o attribute_v to_o man_n it_o signify_v the_o purity_n and_o excellency_n of_o their_o nature_n whereby_o they_o be_v refine_v and_o raise_v up_o above_o the_o rest_n of_o mankind_n this_o the_o apostle_n teach_v we_o where_o he_o oppose_v holiness_n to_o uncleanness_n say_v god_n have_v not_o 7._o call_v we_o unto_o uncleanness_n but_o unto_o holiness_n and_o david_n where_o he_o call_v the_o saint_n that_o be_v upon_o earth_n the_o excellent_a imply_v that_o saint_n 3._o as_o such_o excel_v all_o other_o person_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o holiness_n that_o be_v the_o high_a excellency_n which_o their_o nature_n be_v capable_a of_o which_o therefore_o do_v not_o consist_v in_o any_o particular_a act_n or_o habit_n either_o of_o the_o soul_n or_o body_n or_o both_o together_o but_o in_o the_o rectitude_n or_o due_a temperament_n of_o our_o nature_n in_o general_n and_o indeed_o holiness_n proper_o so_o call_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o pure_a and_o excellent_a frame_n or_o disposition_n of_o the_o whole_a man_n whereby_o all_o the_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o member_n of_o the_o body_n be_v reduce_v to_o their_o primitive_a constitution_n and_o become_v such_o as_o god_n at_o first_o make_v and_o will_v still_o have_v they_o to_o be_v exert_v themselves_o in_o their_o respective_a place_n and_o office_n according_a to_o those_o rule_n which_o he_o have_v set_v they_o so_o that_o to_o our_o perfect_a holiness_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n there_o be_v require_v a_o right_a and_o clear_a understanding_n a_o sound_a judgement_n a_o pure_a heart_n a_o obedient_a will_n a_o good_a conscience_n and_o regular_a affection_n place_v every_o one_o upon_o its_o proper_a object_n in_o a_o due_a manner_n and_o wheresoever_o the_o soul_n if_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v be_v thus_o all_o of_o apiece_o all_o over_o such_o as_o god_n will_v have_v it_o to_o be_v and_o so_o agreeable_a to_o his_o divine_a will_n there_o be_v true_a holiness_n and_o such_o a_o one_o may_v be_v true_o say_v to_o be_v holy_a yea_o to_o be_v holy_a as_o god_n be_v holy_a as_o be_v pure_a and_o excellent_a according_a to_o his_o

what_o a_o deal_n of_o work_n have_v we_o to_o do_v before_o we_o can_v get_v thither_o but_o bless_a be_v god_n we_o be_v in_o the_o ready_a way_n live_v in_o such_o a_o church_n wherein_o we_o

for_o it_o and_o we_o can_v miss_v of_o it_o for_o which_o purpose_n therefore_o let_v we_o consider_v in_o the_o next_o place_n how_o we_o may_v be_v right_o qualify_v or_o as_o the_o apostle_n here_o speak_v make_v meet_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o this_o inheritance_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o light_n where_o we_o may_v observe_v by_o the_o way_n that_o the_o apostle_n here_o suppose_v or_o

the_o saint_n but_o only_o they_o who_o be_v saint_n themselves_o god_n himself_o have_v exclude_v all_o other_o from_o it_o by_o his_o eternal_a and_o irrevocable_a decree_n that_o without_o

they_o can_v take_v no_o pleasure_n in_o the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n but_o rather_o be_v altogether_o unclean_a and_o carnal_a they_o have_v a_o utter_a aversion_n if_o not_o a_o antipathy_n against_o such_o pure_a and_o spiritual_a delight_n as_o be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o their_o corrupt_a nature_n insomuch_o that_o heaven_n itself_o will_v seem_v more_o like_a hell_n than_o heaven_n to_o they_o the_o place_n will_v seem_v melancholy_a the_o company_n irksome_a the_o work_n tedious_a the_o light_a troublesome_a every_o thing_n uneasy_a and_o disagreeable_a as_o suppose_v it_o shall_v please_v almighty_a god_n to_o take_v we_o all_o up_o immediate_o from_o this_o place_n into_o the_o high_a heaven_n and_o there_o set_v we_o all_o just_a at_o our_o saviour_n elbow_n all_o such_o who_o be_v real_a saint_n among_o we_o who_o love_n god_n above_o all_o thing_n how_o glad_a will_v they_o be_v to_o see_v he_o they_o love_v to_o see_v their_o saviour_n shine_v in_o all_o his_o

they_o take_v in_o the_o place_n the_o work_n the_o company_n and_o every_o thing_n they_o see_v there_o but_o as_o for_o other_o who_o be_v still_o in_o their_o sin_n and_o mind_n only_o earthly_a thing_n how_o sad_a and_o disconsolate_a will_v they_o be_v they_o will_v wonder_v to_o see_v the_o saint_n so_o pleasant_a and_o joyful_a for_o as_o for_o their_o part_n they_o can_v see_v nothing_o there_o which_o they_o care_v for_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o light_n they_o will_v be_v still_o in_o darkness_n in_o sorrow_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o joy_n they_o can_v hear_v that_o heavenly_a music_n or_o if_o they_o do_v it_o will_v sound_v harsh_a all_o discord_n to_o they_o they_o can_v taste_v of_o those_o spiritual_a dainty_n or_o if_o they_o do_v they_o can_v not_o relish_v nor_o find_v any_o sweetness_n in_o they_o they_o can_v see_v the_o face_n of_o god_n or_o if_o they_o do_v they_o will_v not_o be_v please_v but_o terrify_v and_o confound_v at_o it_o and_o wish_v with_o all_o their_o soul_n to_o be_v out_o of_o that_o sad_a place_n again_o that_o they_o may_v mind_v the_o business_n and_o enjoy_v the_o pleasure_n they_o like_v better_o if_o that_o be_v heaven_n they_o never_o desire_v to_o come_v there_o any_o more_o and_o all_o because_o they_o want_v that_o principle_n of_o true_a grace_n and_o holiness_n which_o shall_v make_v they_o saint_n and_o so_o capacitate_v they_o for_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o those_o holy_a pleasure_n without_o which_o a_o blind_a man_n may_v as_o well_o delight_n in_o picture_n the_o deaf_a in_o music_n yea_o a_o brute_n beast_n in_o metaphysic_n as_o they_o in_o heaven_n or_o in_o god_n himself_o by_o this_o therefore_o we_o may_v see_v how_o necessary_a it_o be_v to_o be_v holy_a before_o we_o can_v be_v happy_a pure_a in_o heart_n before_o we_o can_v see_v god_n real_a and_o true_a saint_n before_o we_o can_v partake_v of_o their_o inheritance_n in_o light_n and_o by_o consequence_n as_o ever_o we_o desire_v to_o go_v to_o heaven_n when_o we_o die_v we_o must_v take_v care_n while_o we_o live_v to_o get_v our_o heart_n purge_v from_o all_o corrupt_a affection_n our_o mind_n enlighten_v and_o our_o soul_n sanctify_v throughout_o and_o incline_v whole_o unto_o god_n so_o as_o to_o prefer_v he_o at_o least_o in_o some_o degree_n before_o all_o thing_n else_o that_o so_o we_o may_v go_v out_o of_o this_o world_n right_o dispose_v and_o fit_v to_o behold_v the_o light_n of_o his_o countenance_n and_o to_o solace_v ourselves_o in_o it_o as_o the_o high_a object_n of_o our_o soul_n desire_n and_o then_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o our_o desire_n shall_v be_v full_o satisfy_v for_o our_o soul_n will_v be_v no_o soon_o loosen_a from_o our_o body_n but_o they_o will_v be_v immediate_o carry_v up_o to_o heaven_n and_o there_o partake_v of_o the_o inheritance_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o light_n and_o at_o the_o last_o day_n our_o body_n shall_v be_v unite_v to_o our_o soul_n again_o and_o then_o both_o in_o soul_n and_o body_n we_o shall_v enjoy_v all_o we_o can_v desire_v for_o evermore_o but_o who_o be_v sufficient_a for_o these_o thing_n how_o can_v we_o who_o be_v bear_v and_o have_v live_v so_o long_o in_o sin_n ever_o be_v make_v so_o pure_a and_o holy_a as_o to_o be_v meet_a to_o live_v with_o saint_n and_o angel_n with_o christ_n and_o god_n himself_o in_o the_o world_n to_o

of_o it_o unless_o we_o be_v fail_v to_o ourselves_o in_o our_o endeavour_n after_o it_o as_o we_o may_v easy_o perceive_v if_o we_o do_v but_o consider_v how_o other_o have_v be_v and_o so_o how_o we_o ourselves_o may_v be_v sanctify_v or_o make_v saint_n if_o we_o do_v but_o set_v ourselves_o in_o good_a earnest_n about_o it_o for_o which_o end_n we_o may_v observe_v that_o this_o be_v too_o great_a a_o work_n for_o we_o to_o do_v by_o our_o own_o strength_n the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n himself_o be_v please_v to_o undertake_v it_o for_o we_o and_o for_o that_o purpose_n have_v take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o he_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o as_o to_o redeem_v we_o from_o all_o iniquity_n so_o to_o purify_v to_o himself_o a_o peculiar_a people_n zealous_a of_o good_a work_n 14._o and_o so_o he_o be_v make_v unto_o we_o wisdom_n as_o well_o as_o righteousness_n sanctification_n as_o well_o as_o redemption_n 30._o that_o as_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o redeem_v from_o our_o sin_n so_o we_o may_v be_v make_v wise_a and_o holy_a through_o he_o who_o be_v the_o fountain_n as_o of_o all_o the_o good_a thing_n we_o do_v or_o can_v enjoy_v so_o likewise_o of_o all_o the_o goodness_n
