for_o the_o bless_a vineyard_n of_o our_o creator_n ready_a to_o every_o good_a and_o perfect_a work_n with_o unspeakable_a joy_n and_o gladness_n i_o do_v also_o believe_v the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n as_o certain_o as_o the_o mortality_n of_o the_o body_n and_o that_o as_o soon_o as_o it_o part_v with_o the_o body_n by_o death_n it_o do_v participate_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n of_o misery_n or_o mercy_n of_o joy_n or_o sorrow_n according_a to_o what_o it_o have_v do_v in_o the_o body_n whether_o the_o deed_n be_v good_a or_o evil_n i_o believe_v there_o shall_v be_v a_o restauration_n of_o body_n at_o the_o resurrection_n and_o degree_n of_o perfect_a joy_n to_o all_o those_o that_o in_o their_o earthly_a tabernacle_n true_o desire_v to_o be_v righteous_a and_o perfect_a misery_n to_o wilful_a negligent_a and_o contemptuous_a sinner_n in_o which_o both_o soul_n and_o body_n shall_v be_v for_o ever_o partaker_n i_o do_v believe_v affliction_n and_o correction_n to_o be_v so_o necessary_a for_o we_o in_o this_o life_n that_o i_o scarce_o think_v any_o can_v be_v save_v without_o they_o and_o also_o that_o much_o affliction_n in_o this_o life_n be_v or_o at_o least_o if_o well_o use_v may_v be_v a_o great_a mean_n sign_n and_o token_n of_o salvation_n for_o that_o affliction_n be_v the_o cord_n and_o scourge_n of_o the_o almighty_a to_o draw_v and_o drive_v we_o on_o in_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n they_o be_v his_o sweet_a and_o bless_a surveyor_n to_o purge_v our_o soul_n from_o our_o body_n pollution_n and_o make_v we_o of_o a_o fit_a alloy_n for_o his_o heavenly_a treasure_n they_o which_o wound_v the_o flesh_n and_o sad_a the_o countenance_n make_v the_o heart_n the_o better_a and_o from_o the_o very_o be_v engage_v under_o a_o affliction_n for_o life_n may_v be_v reap_v sweet_a and_o joyful_a comfort_n both_o in_o life_n and_o death_n therefore_o thus_o some_o see_v the_o root_n yet_o on_o it_o take_v a_o fall_n like_o those_o that_o see_v the_o door_n yet_o push_v the_o wall_n and_o have_v fall_v upon_o the_o rock_n they_o see_v receive_v more_o good_a then_o though_o they_o will_v escape_v the_o blow_n the_o
