can_v no_o more_o live_v upon_o these_o thing_n than_o the_o body_n can_v upon_o a_o thought_n or_o notion_n there_o be_v a_o threefold_a unsuitableness_n between_o worldly_a thing_n and_o the_o soul_n first_o the_o soul_n be_v spiritual_a these_o be_v drossy_a and_o material_a of_o all_o thing_n belong_v to_o a_o man_n his_o breath_n be_v the_o most_o subtle_a invisible_a and_o spiritual_a but_o now_o the_o soul_n be_v call_v the_o 2.7_o the_o gen._n 2.7_o breath_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o must_v needs_o be_v spiritual_a in_o a_o high_a degree_n and_o what_o then_o have_v a_o spiritual_a soul_n to_o do_v with_o clod_n of_o earth_n or_o acre_n of_o land_n with_o barn_n full_a of_o corn_n or_o bag_n full_a of_o gold_n these_o be_v too_o thick_a and_o gross_a to_o correspond_v with_o its_o refine_a nature_n but_o rather_o bring_v spiritual_a thing_n to_o spiritual_a god_n who_o be_v the_o 12.9_o the_o heb._n 12.9_o father_n of_o spirit_n his_o love_n and_o favour_n a_o interest_n in_o he_o and_o communion_n with_o he_o the_o consolation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o act_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o hope_n of_o glory_n these_o spiritual_a and_o clarify_a essence_n which_o a_o carnal_a eye_n can_v see_v nor_o a_o carnal_a judgement_n value_n these_o be_v most_o suitable_a to_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v a_o spirit_n and_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v unequa_o yok_v to_o the_o dregs_o and_o dross_n of_o earthly_a enjoyment_n second_o the_o soul_n be_v immortal_a but_o all_o worldly_a thing_n be_v perish_v and_o wear_v out_o in_o the_o use_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v but_o small_a comfort_n when_o the_o rich_a man_n sing_v his_o requiem_n to_o say_v soul_n take_v thy_o ease_n thou_o have_v good_n lay_v up_o for_o many_o year_n thou_o fool_n what_o be_v a_o estate_n for_o many_o year_n to_o a_o soul_n who_o duration_n be_v not_o measure_v by_o year_n but_o by_o eternity_n what_o when_o those_o year_n of_o plenty_n be_v expire_v how_o destitute_a will_v thy_o soul_n be_v when_o it_o shall_v have_v out_o live_v all_o its_o good_a thing_n it_o may_v outlive_v they_o even_o in_o this_o world_n god_n may_v nip_v and_o blast_v all_o that_o thou_o set_v thy_o heart_n on_o and_o make_v all_o thy_o comfort_n fall_v off_o from_o thou_o like_o so_o many_o wither_a leaf_n however_o if_o thou_o have_v no_o other_o than_o what_o this_o miserable_a world_n can_v afford_v thou_o shall_v certain_o outlive_v they_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v and_o what_o will_v thou_o do_v not_o in_o those_o year_n but_o in_o that_o eternity_n of_o famine_n as_o it_o be_v with_o those_o that_o be_v invite_v to_o feast_v in_o some_o noble_a family_n the_o furniture_n be_v rich_a the_o entertainment_n splendid_a and_o magnificent_a but_o when_o they_o depart_v they_o can_v of_o all_o that_o pomp_n and_o bravery_n carry_v any_o thing_n away_o with_o they_o so_o be_v it_o here_o the_o world_n be_v god_n great_a house_n rich_o furnish_v and_o we_o well_o entertain_v in_o it_o we_o have_v all_o thing_n liberal_o afford_v we_o for_o our_o use_n but_o nothing_o of_o all_o be_v we_o and_o therefore_o god_n have_v set_v that_o grim_a porter_n death_n at_o his_o gate_n to_o see_v that_o as_o we_o bring_v nothing_o into_o it_o so_o we_o carry_v nothing_o out_o of_o it_o what_o a_o sad_a part_a hour_n will_v it_o be_v to_o the_o soul_n when_o it_o must_v go_v into_o another_o world_n and_o leave_v all_o that_o it_o admire_v and_o love_v behind_o in_o this_o how_o will_v it_o protract_v and_o linger_v how_o loath_a will_v it_o be_v to_o enter_v upon_o so_o great_a a_o journey_n and_o carry_v nothing_o to_o defray_v the_o charge_n of_o it_o certain_o die_v must_v needs_o be_v a_o terrible_a thing_n to_o those_o who_o have_v get_v nothing_o but_o what_o they_o can_v no_o long_o keep_v when_o their_o soul_n must_v be_v set_v on_o shore_n in_o a_o vast_a and_o black_a eternity_n all_o naked_a and_o destitute_a have_v nothing_o to_o relieve_v or_o support_v they_o three_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v altogether_o of_o another_o kind_n than_o those_o which_o worldly_a thing_n be_v able_a to_o supply_v and_o therefore_o they_o be_v whole_o unsuitable_a natural_a thing_n may_v well_o serve_v for_o natural_a want_n food_n will_v satisfy_v hunger_n and_o raiment_n fence_v off_o the_o injury_n of_o the_o weather_n and_o riches_n will_v procure_v both_o but_o the_o soul_n necessity_n be_v spiritual_a and_o these_o no_o natural_a thing_n can_v reach_v it_o want_v a_o price_n to_o redeem_v it_o nothing_o can_v do_v this_o but_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o christ_n it_o want_v pardon_n and_o forgiveness_n nothing_o can_v grant_v it_o but_o the_o free_a and_o abundant_a mercy_n of_o god_n it_o want_v sanctification_n and_o holiness_n comfort_n and_o assurance_n nothing_o can_v effect_v these_o but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n here_o all_o worldly_a thing_n fall_v short_a the_o exigency_n of_o the_o outward_a man_n they_o may_v supply_v but_o the_o great_a abundance_n of_o they_o can_v never_o quiet_v a_o trouble_a conscience_n nor_o appease_v a_o angry_a god_n nor_o remove_v the_o condemn_a guilt_n of_o the_o least_o sin_n no_o 49.8_o psal_n 49.8_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v precious_a more_o precious_a than_o to_o be_v purchase_v by_o these_o poor_a thing_n and_o it_o cease_v for_o ever_o possible_o now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o your_o peace_n and_o prosperity_n you_o regard_v not_o these_o spiritual_a want_n but_o when_o the_o day_n of_o sorrow_n and_o darkness_n shall_v come_v upon_o you_o when_o god_n shall_v drop_v into_o your_o conscience_n a_o little_a of_o his_o wrath_n and_o displeasure_n you_o may_v as_o well_o seek_v to_o cure_v a_o wound_n in_o your_o body_n by_o apply_v a_o plaster_n to_o your_o garment_n as_o seek_v to_o ease_v a_o wound_a spirit_n by_o all_o the_o treasure_n pleasure_n and_o enjoyment_n of_o this_o

it_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o unsuitable_a the_o world_n be_v to_o the_o soul_n unsuitable_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o for_o the_o soul_n be_v spiritual_a but_o all_o earthly_a enjoyment_n be_v drossy_a and_o material_a the_o soul_n be_v immortal_a but_o these_o be_v all_o perish_a unsuitable_a also_o to_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o they_o can_v never_o reach_v nor_o
