continual_o here_o be_v another_o excellent_a privilege_n and_o emninent_a dignity_n which_o the_o saint_n shall_v be_v make_v partaker_n of_o in_o this_o glorious_a kingdom_n they_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v free_v from_o shame_n and_o reproach_n but_o they_o shall_v also_o be_v crown_v with_o honour_n and_o dignity_n their_o eye_n shall_v not_o only_o be_v free_v from_o vain_a sight_n and_o terrible_a object_n but_o they_o shall_v also_o be_v bless_v with_o heavenly_a vision_n and_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o dwell_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o lamb_n continual_o it_o be_v count_v a_o great_a honour_n and_o a_o excellent_a privilege_n among_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n to_o behold_v the_o face_n of_o a_o earthly_a king_n or_o to_o be_v admit_v into_o the_o presence_n of_o a_o

dignity_n but_o now_o the_o saint_n in_o their_o kingdom_n shall_v have_v tenfold_o more_o honour_n and_o dignity_n than_o all_o this_o i_o mean_v in_o reference_n to_o this_o particular_a beside_o all_o the_o rest_n they_o shall_v have_v more_o honour_n than_o to_o behold_v the_o face_n of_o a_o earthly_a king_n for_o they_o shall_v behold_v the_o face_n of_o he_o that_o be_v king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n they_o shall_v have_v more_o honour_n than_o to_o be_v admit_v into_o the_o presence_n of_o a_o great_a man_n on_o earth_n for_o they_o shall_v be_v admit_v into_o the_o

kingdom_n therefore_o say_v the_o psalmist_n psal_n 140.13_o sure_o the_o righteous_a shall_v give_v thanks_o unto_o thy_o name_n the_o upright_a shall_v dwell_v in_o thy_o presence_n mark_v it_o do_v not_o say_v only_o they_o shall_v be_v in_o thy_o presence_n for_o a_o little_a time_n but_o they_o shall_v '_o dwell_v in_o thy_o presence_n they_o shall_v continue_v and_o abide_v in_o thy_o

prepare_v a_o place_n for_o you_o i_o will_v come_v again_o and_o receive_v you_o unto_o myself_o that_o where_o i_o be_o there_o you_o may_v be_v also_o so_o that_o it_o seem_v where_o the_o lord_n

dwell_v in_o his_o presence_n and_o see_v he_o as_o he_o be_v therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 13.12_o now_o we_o see_v through_o a_o glass_n dark_o but_o then_o we_o shall_v see_v face_n to_o face_n now_o we_o know_v but_o in_o part_n but_o then_o we_o shall_v know_v even_o as_o also_o we_o be_v know_v so_o that_o this_o be_v also_o another_o excellent_a privilege_n or_o a_o three_o branch_n of_o that_o happiness_n which_o the_o saint_n shall_v be_v make_v partaker_n of_o in_o this_o heavenly_a kingdom_n they_o shall_v dwell_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o continual_o behold_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n but_o four_o another_o be_v this_o 4._o they_o

the_o truth_n upon_o the_o earth_n and_o take_v the_o tribulation_n of_o the_o gospel_n cheerful_o and_o joyful_o yea_o we_o shall_v make_v our_o very_a enemy_n admire_v at_o we_o if_o we_o have_v but_o a_o right_a spirit_n upon_o this_o account_n when_o they_o shall_v see_v and_o take_v notice_n how_o we_o be_v trouble_v on_o every_o side_n and_o how_o we_o be_v persecute_v and_o afflict_a and_o trample_v under_o foot_n and_o yet_o we_o be_v cheerful_a and_o full_a of_o courage_n and_o not_o at_o all_o daunt_v nor_o terrify_v at_o it_o they_o must_v needs_o think_v there_o be_v more_o than_o ordinary_a in_o our_o profession_n and_o so_o by_o that_o mean_v god_n be_v exceed_o glorify_v and_o his_o truth_n admire_v by_o his_o enemy_n though_o possible_o they_o may_v still_o obstinate_o and_o willing_o oppose_v it_o yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o shall_v by_o this_o mean_n be_v leave_v without_o excuse_n and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o truth_n shall_v witness_v against_o they_o to_o the_o praise_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o to_o the_o peace_n and_o comfort_n of_o our_o own_o soul_n therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n 1_o pet._n 4.14_o if_o you_o be_v reproach_v for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n happy_a be_v you_o for_o the_o spirit_n of_o glory_n rest_v upon_o you_o on_o their_o part_n he_o be_v evil_o speak_v of_o but_o on_o your_o part_n he_o be_v glorify_v there_o be_v also_o a_o notable_a passage_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n concern_v peter_n john_n 21.18_o 19_o very_o very_o say_v christ_n unto_o peter_n when_o thou_o be_v young_a thou_o girde_v thyself_o and_o walk_v whither_o thou_o will_v but_o when_o thou_o shall_v be_v old_a thou_o shall_v stretch_v forth_o thy_o hand_n and_o another_o shall_v gird_v thou_o and_o carry_v thou_o whither_o thou_o will_v not_o this_o speak_v he_o signify_v by_o what_o death_n he_o shall_v glorify_v god_n so_o that_o it_o seem_v those_o that_o have_v so_o much_o courage_n as_o to_o suffer_v cheerful_o for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o lay_v down_o their_o life_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o christ_n their_o death_n and_o suffering_n will_v tend_v much_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o to_o the_o eternal_a bliss_n and_o happiness_n of_o their_o own_o soul_n therefore_o when_o our_o enemy_n shall_v threaten_v we_o and_o command_v we_o to_o speak_v nor_o preach_v no_o more_o in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n nor_o meet_v any_o more_o to_o worship_n god_n in_o his_o own_o way_n let_v we_o with_o peter_n and_o john_n ask_v they_o whether_o it_o be_v right_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n to_o hearken_v unto_o you_o more_o than_o unto_o god_n judge_v you_o and_o let_v we_o tell_v they_o plain_o to_o their_o face_n that_o we_o must_v obey_v god_n rather_o than_o man_n therefore_o we_o can_v but_o speak_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v see_v and_o hear_v and_o we_o can_v but_o practice_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v learn_v and_o receive_v in_o command_n from_o jesus_n christ_n there_o be_v two_o notable_a and_o very_a remarkable_a example_n worthy_a of_o our_o consideration_n which_o i_o shall_v brief_o urge_v for_o our_o encouragement_n in_o this_o matter_n the_o one_o be_v concern_v the_o three_o child_n in_o dan._n 3.16_o 17_o 18._o oh_o that_o there_o be_v but_o such_o a_o spirit_n among_o the_o people_n of_o god_n now_o in_o this_o day_n of_o zion_n bleed_v well_o but_o let_v we_o a_o little_a consider_v how_o they_o behave_v themselves_o the_o king_n have_v make_v a_o decree_n and_o give_v forth_o command_n that_o all_o people_n shall_v fall_v down_o and_o worship_n the_o golden_a image_n which_o he_o he_o have_v set_v up_o and_o whosoever_o will_v not_o shall_v the_o same_o hour_n be_v cast_v into_o the_o midst_n of_o a_o burn_a fiery_a furnace_n well_o but_o shadrach_n meshach_n and_o abednego_n they_o break_v his_o decree_n and_o disobey_v his_o command_n and_o be_v not_o at_o all_o afraid_a of_o his_o fury_n nor_o terrify_v at_o the_o punishment_n and_o when_o they_o be_v call_v to_o a_o account_n before_o the_o king_n for_o this_o their_o disobedience_n to_o his_o decree_n he_o proffer_v they_o pardon_n upon_o condition_n of_o their_o now_o comply_v but_o if_o not_o they_o must_v expect_v to_o feel_v the_o effect_n of_o his_o rage_n and_o fury_n in_o the_o fiery_a furnace_n and_o who_o be_v that_o god_n that_o shall_v deliver_v they_o out_o of_o his_o hand_n well_o now_o it_o be_v come_v to_o this_o with_o they_o they_o must_v either_o turn_v or_o burn_v they_o must_v either_o bow_n to_o the_o image_n or_o be_v burn_v in_o the_o fire_n they_o must_v either_o conform_v with_o their_o body_n to_o the_o king_n command_n or_o else_o expose_v their_o body_n to_o the_o burn_a flame_n well_o and_o how_o do_v they_o behave_v themselves_o in_o this_o case_n see_v the_o story_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v it_o at_o large_a shadrach_n meshach_n and_o abednego_n answer_v and_o say_v to_o the_o king_n o_o nabuchadnezzar_n we_o be_v not_o careful_a to_o answer_v thou_o in_o this_o matter_n if_o it_o be_v so_o our_o god_n who_o we_o serve_v be_v able_a to_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o burn_a fiery_a furnace_n and_o he_o will_v deliver_v we_o out_o of_o thy_o hand_n o_o king_n but_o now_o herein_o consist_v chief_o the_o excellency_n of_o their_o spirit_n in_o the_o next_o word_n therefore_o mark_v but_o if_o not_o whether_o god_n will_v deliver_v we_o or_o no_o yet_o be_v it_o know_v unto_o thou_o o_o king_n that_o we_o will_v not_o serve_v thy_o god_n nor_o worship_v the_o golden_a image_n which_o thou_o have_v set_v up_o here_o be_v a_o admirable_a spirit_n for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n full_a of_o confidence_n and_o resolution_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o true_a and_o live_a god_n as_o much_o as_o if_o they_o shall_v say_v if_o it_o be_v so_o o_o king_n do_v thy_o worst_a we_o matter_n it_o not_o our_o god_n who_o we_o serve_v be_v able_a to_o deliver_v we_o and_o he_o will_v deliver_v we_o from_o thy_o rage_n and_o cruelty_n o_o king_n therefore_o we_o be_v not_o careful_a to_o answer_v thou_o in_o the_o business_n and_o further_o we_o testify_v unto_o thou_o o_o king_n that_o whether_o he_o will_v deliver_v we_o or_o not_o deliver_v we_o whether_o we_o burn_v or_o not_o burn_v come_v life_n or_o come_v death_n yet_o we_o will_v have_v thou_o to_o know_v o_o king_n that_o we_o will_v not_o serve_v thy_o god_n nor_o we_o will_v not_o worship_v the_o golden_a image_n which_o thou_o have_v set_v up_o oh_o therefore_o now_o let_v we_o endeavour_v to_o bear_v upon_o our_o heart_n the_o example_n of_o these_o three_o famous_a child_n or_o rather_o champion_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n that_o we_o may_v through_o their_o example_n be_v provoke_v and_o encourage_v to_o hold_v fast_o the_o name_n and_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n even_o in_o the_o worst_a condition_n that_o may_v befall_v we_o that_o so_o be_v faithful_a unto_o death_n we_o may_v receive_v the_o crown_n of_o life_n and_o sit_v with_o christ_n in_o his_o throne_n and_o kingdom_n another_o example_n that_o i_o shall_v take_v notice_n of_o for_o our_o consideration_n and_o encouragement_n be_v concern_v paul_n in_o act_n 21.13_o which_o indeed_o be_v very_o remarkable_a and_o worthy_a of_o our_o observation_n and_o practice_n paul_n it_o seem_v have_v some_o work_n to_o

foretell_v in_o a_o figure_n how_o he_o shall_v suffer_v when_o he_o come_v there_o and_o how_o he_o shall_v be_v deliver_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o persecutor_n for_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a
