themselves_o though_o we_o can_v see_v how_o we_o do_v go_v further_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n we_o do_v go_v further_o if_o we_o get_v up_o to_o this_o paul_n make_v it_o a_o mighty_a work_n of_o grace_n in_o he_o that_o he_o can_v have_v his_o heart_n take_v off_o from_o all_o temporal_a thing_n that_o be_v see_v and_o to_o look_v at_o eternal_a thing_n that_o be_v not_o see_v five_o yet_o we_o ought_v to_o look_v at_o god_n and_o to_o lift_v up_o 5._o god_n beyond_o ourselves_o or_o any_o thing_n that_o concern_v ourselves_o and_o not_o to_o aim_n at_o god_n more_o than_o any_o worldly_a thing_n only_o but_o to_o aim_n at_o god_n more_o than_o at_o the_o glory_n of_o heaven_n but_o yet_o further_o though_o we_o be_v to_o aim_n at_o god_n beyond_o 6._o our_o own_o good_a any_o way_n yet_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o part_v with_o any_o of_o our_o spiritual_a good_a no_o not_o for_o any_o glory_n to_o his_o own_o name_n if_o you_o look_v at_o your_o reward_n in_o heaven_n as_o spiritual_a you_o may_v so_o far_o look_v at_o it_o as_o not_o to_o be_v willing_a to_o part_v with_o it_o for_o any_o glory_n that_o you_o conceive_v may_v come_v to_o god_n by_o spiritual_a good_a i_o mean_v grace_n now_o if_o it_o can_v be_v suppose_v that_o god_n shall_v have_v never_o so_o much_o glory_n by_o my_o abate_v the_o least_o degree_n in_o grace_n yet_o i_o be_o so_o bind_v to_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n as_o i_o must_v not_o abate_v the_o least_o degree_n for_o the_o high_a glory_n that_o can_v come_v to_o god_n yea_o though_o it_o be_v true_a i_o be_o to_o desire_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o that_o other_o shall_v glorify_v god_n yet_o i_o shall_v more_o desire_v the_o furtherance_n of_o grace_n in_o my_o own_o soul_n so_o as_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v willing_a to_o part_v with_o the_o least_o degree_n of_o grace_n though_o thereby_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v glorify_v god_n but_o here_o lie_v one_o objection_n paul_n seem_v to_o go_v object_n otherwise_o for_o he_o wish_v himself_o accurse_v or_o anathamize_v from_o christ_n for_o his_o brethren_n his_o kinsman_n after_o the_o flesh_n so_o that_o it_o seem_v st._n paul_n do_v wish_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o other_o more_o than_o any_o grace_n in_o himself_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o separation_n from_o christ_n we_o must_v understand_v right_o we_o be_v not_o to_o understand_v by_o answ_n separation_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v separate_v from_o the_o spirit_n and_o grace_n of_o christ_n but_o that_o he_o may_v be_v separate_v from_o the_o comfort_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o may_v not_o have_v that_o comfort_n and_o that_o happiness_n that_o come_v in_o by_o christ_n if_o he_o have_v desire_v to_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n he_o shall_v have_v sin_v in_o it_o god_n glory_n and_o our_o good_a be_v so_o annex_v together_o that_o though_o we_o may_v suffer_v much_o for_o the_o good_a of_o other_o yet_o we_o be_v not_o to_o desire_v to_o be_v in_o any_o sinful_a condition_n though_o it_o can_v save_v all_o the_o world_n if_o it_o can_v be_v conceive_v unless_o i_o sin_v the_o least_o sin_n in_o thought_n all_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v damn_v i_o shall_v suffer_v they_o all_o to_o be_v damn_v rather_o than_o to_o sin_v the_o least_o sin_n i_o remember_v st._n augustine_n have_v a_o tractate_n about_o a_o officious_a lie_n to_o tell_v a_o lie_n for_o no_o hurt_n but_o for_o good_a say_v he_o we_o be_v not_o to_o tell_v such_o a_o lie_n though_o it_o be_v to_o save_v all_o the_o world_n christ_n have_v rather_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v have_v be_v damn_v then_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v commit_v the_o least_o sin_n in_o the_o next_o place_n whosoever_o do_v understand_v what_o 7._o the_o true_a reward_n be_v that_o be_v in_o heaven_n it_o be_v impossible_a if_o he_o desire_v heaven_n aright_o but_o he_o must_v desire_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n above_o himself_o what_o be_v the_o height_n and_o top_n of_o heaven_n it_o be_v not_o any_o carnal_a good_a any_o carnal_a content_n that_o be_v the_o height_n and_o top_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o heaven_n it_o be_v that_o our_o soul_n be_v in_o the_o perfection_n of_o they_o may_v live_v to_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n for_o ever_o now_o if_o this_o be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o we_o shall_v receive_v from_o god_n in_o heaven_n that_o we_o may_v live_v for_o ever_o to_o reflect_v the_o glory_n upon_o god_n again_o in_o our_o praise_n than_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o desire_v heaven_n but_o in_o our_o desire_n of_o heaven_n we_o do_v desire_n god_n above_o ourselves_o surely_n we_o may_v free_o aim_n at_o our_o reward_n in_o heaven_n for_o if_o we_o aim_n at_o our_o reward_n and_o know_v it_o aright_o it_o be_v such_o as_o we_o can_v but_o aim_n at_o god_n above_o ourselves_o yea_o further_o so_o near_o be_v god_n glory_n and_o 8._o our_o reward_n join_v together_o that_o we_o can_v aim_n at_o god_n above_o ourselves_o but_o we_o shall_v by_o that_o mean_n in_o the_o best_a manner_n provide_v for_o ourselves_o and_o the_o more_o we_o strive_v to_o aim_n at_o god_n above_o ourselves_o we_o come_v in_o the_o best_a manner_n that_o possible_o can_v be_v to_o provide_v for_o ourselves_o and_o yet_o last_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o 9_o a_o gracious_a heart_n look_v to_o the_o reward_n and_o a_o carnal_a heart_n look_v to_o the_o reward_n as_o first_o the_o difference_n lie_v here_o a_o gracious_a heart_n do_v carnal_a love_v the_o reward_n for_o the_o work_v sake_n a_o carnal_a heart_n do_v only_o love_v the_o work_n for_o the_o reward_n sake_n as_o a_o gracious_a heart_n love_v heaven_n and_o love_v the_o glory_n of_o heaven_n but_o it_o love_v heaven_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o heaven_n the_o better_a because_o there_o be_v such_o a_o bless_a way_n to_o it_o if_o a_o man_n be_v to_o go_v home_o and_o have_v a_o ill_a way_n he_o will_v love_v his_o home_n but_o if_o he_o have_v a_o fair_a smooth_a way_n home_o he_o love_v his_o home_n the_o better_a for_o the_o way_n sake_n therefore_o many_o man_n be_v at_o great_a cost_n to_o have_v a_o fair_a go_v to_o their_o house_n and_o so_o a_o gracious_a heart_n love_v the_o way_n that_o god_n do_v reveal_v to_o come_v to_o heaven_n by_o and_o love_v heaven_n the_o better_a because_o of_o the_o way_n a_o carnal_a heart_n may_v love_v heaven_n but_o he_o do_v not_o love_v heaven_n the_o better_a for_o the_o way_n but_o wish_v the_o way_n to_o heaven_n be_v otherwise_o he_o look_v upon_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n as_o a_o necessary_a burden_n to_o he_o as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v go_v out_o a_o journey_n and_o must_v go_v through_o a_o dirty_a lane_n he_o go_v through_o it_o but_o complain_v and_o so_o though_o they_o desire_v heaven_n yet_o all_o the_o while_o they_o be_v complain_v of_o the_o way_n certain_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o

to_o 2._o the_o recompense_n of_o reward_n be_v another_o manner_n of_o eye_n then_o any_o carnal_a heart_n can_v have_v what_o kind_n of_o eye_n be_v it_o first_o the_o eye_n that_o a_o gracious_a
