its_o misery_n consist_v because_o god_n will_v keep_v all_o the_o faculty_n of_o the_o lose_a soul_n in_o their_o utmost_a activity_n whereas_o now_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o we_o for_o if_o

may_v be_v i_o remember_v austin_n in_o his_o book_n about_o a_o officious_a lie_n have_v this_o passage_n say_v he_o a_o man_n must_v not_o tell_v a_o officious_a lie_n that_o be_v a_o lie_n without_o a_o intention_n to_o do_v any_o body_n hurt_v for_o the_o gain_n of_o the_o world_n nay_o for_o the_o gain_n of_o all_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o world_n the_o least_o sin_n be_v a_o great_a

shall_v come_v to_o apply_v all_o together_o for_o the_o first_o then_o what_o do_v christ_n mean_v when_o he_o say_v what_o profit_v it_o a_o man_n if_o he_o gain_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o lose_v his_o soul_n first_o you_o be_v to_o know_v this_o that_o we_o be_v not_o say_v to_o lose_v our_o soul_n because_o they_o shall_v be_v annihilate_v and_o cease_v to_o be_v the_o cease_n of_o the_o

for_o the_o soul_n of_o no_o man_n or_o woman_n shall_v be_v lose_v so_o yea_o and_o this_o will_v not_o be_v the_o great_a loss_n for_o the_o soul_n to_o cease_v to_o be_v there_o be_v two_o degree_n of_o evil_n that_o be_v beyond_o the_o evil_n of_o cease_v to_o be_v to_o be_v miserable_a to_o be_v in_o pain_n and_o torture_n be_v worse_a than_o not_o to_o be_v and_o to_o be_v sinful_a be_v

it_o be_v first_o in_o the_o privation_n of_o it_o of_o all_o the_o good_a and_o excellency_n that_o the_o soul_n be_v capable_a of_o the_o privation_n of_o the_o true_a good_a that_o the_o soul_n

we_o use_v the_o phrase_n of_o lose_a to_o all_o these_o thing_n when_o a_o man_n have_v lose_v his_o estate_n we_o account_v such_o a_o man_n as_o a_o lose_a man_n and_o when_o a_o man_n be_v bring_v into_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o misery_n that_o heretofore_o be_v in_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o happiness_n we_o account_v such_o a_o man_n to_o be_v a_o lose_a man_n but_o especial_o when_o a_o man_n
