shall_v be_v like_a unto_o jesus_n christ_n in_o splendour_n and_o beauty_n their_o body_n shall_v be_v clothe_v with_o glory_n and_o majesty_n like_v unto_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o

to_o enjoy_v the_o same_o it_o be_v count_v a_o great_a honour_n and_o a_o high_a privilege_n among_o the_o people_n of_o the_o world_n to_o be_v but_o a_o little_a adorn_v with_o earthly_a beauty_n

say_v he_o now_o we_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o it_o do_v not_o yet_o appear_v what_o we_o shall_v be_v mark_n though_o we_o have_v so_o much_o honour_n and_o dignity_n confer_v upon_o we_o now_o at_o present_a as_o to_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o though_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o extend_v his_o goodness_n so_o far_o towards_o we_o now_o at_o present_a as_o to_o make_v we_o his_o child_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o yet_o appear_v what_o we_o shall_v be_v and_o yet_o this_o be_v such_o a_o wonderful_a privilege_n as_o it_o make_v the_o apostle_n exceed_o admire_v at_o the_o consideration_n thereof_o cry_v out_o behold_v what_o manner_n of_o love_n be_v this_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n he_o be_v mighty_o fill_v with_o admiration_n to_o consider_v of_o this_o wonderful_a dignity_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o it_o do_v not_o yet_o appear_v what_o we_o shall_v be_v for_o we_o know_v that_o when_o he_o shall_v appear_v we_o shall_v be_v like_o he_o mark_n we_o shall_v be_v like_a unto_o jesus_n christ_n bless_v as_o he_o be_v bless_v beautiful_a as_o he_o be_v beautiful_a glorious_a as_o he_o be_v glorious_a every_o way_n adorn_v with_o heavenly_a happiness_n like_a unto_o jesus_n christ_n this_o be_v also_o another_o excellent_a privilege_n or_o a_o four_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 glorious_a kingdom_n five_o another_o be_v this_o 5._o they_o shall_v have_v wonderful_a glorious_a company_n and_o bless_a society_n they_o shall_v be_v continual_o honour_v with_o heavenly_a company_n and_o bless_v with_o glorious_a companion_n the_o mean_a and_o worst_a of_o their_o companion_n shall_v be_v bless_v and_o glorious_a angel_n though_o now_o it_o may_v be_v they_o be_v so_o much_o despise_v by_o the_o world_n as_o that_o they_o be_v not_o count_v worthy_a to_o dwell_v in_o the_o society_n of_o wicked_a man_n yet_o they_o be_v so_o much_o honour_v by_o the_o lord_n as_o that_o they_o shall_v one_o day_n be_v count_v worthy_a to_o dwell_v in_o the_o society_n of_o bless_a angel_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v their_o mean_a companion_n this_o be_v another_o glorious_a privilege_n &_o excellent_a dignity_n for_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o this_o heavenly_a kingdom_n they_o shall_v never_o have_v cause_n to_o complain_v of_o their_o company_n nor_o never_o have_v cause_n to_o be_v weary_a of_o their_o society_n for_o their_o mean_a company_n shall_v be_v glorious_a angel_n and_o their_o worst_a society_n shall_v be_v heavenly_a spirit_n and_o indeed_o this_o be_v a_o privilege_n which_o be_v very_o acceptable_a and_o delightful_a unto_o god_n people_n and_o high_o esteem_v and_o much_o to_o be_v desire_v among_o good_a man_n now_o upon_o earth_n i_o mean_v godly_a society_n for_o indeed_o those_o that_o true_o fear_v god_n do_v count_v it_o a_o great_a privilege_n to_o enjoy_v the_o society_n of_o good_a people_n and_o will_v reckon_v it_o a_o great_a happiness_n to_o be_v whole_o and_o altogether_o free_v from_o evil_a company_n that_o they_o may_v always_o enjoy_v the_o society_n of_o godly_a people_n therefore_o say_v david_n psal_n 16.3_o my_o goodness_n extend_v not_o only_o unto_o thou_o o_o lord_n but_o unto_o thy_o saint_n and_o excellent_a one_o in_o who_o be_v all_o my_o delight_n but_o now_o in_o this_o heavenly_a kingdom_n they_o shall_v not_o only_o have_v the_o society_n of_o saint_n and_o enjoy_v communion_n one_o with_o another_o without_o any_o mixture_n of_o evil_a but_o they_o shall_v also_o enjoy_v it_o with_o god_n and_o fellowship_n with_o jesus_n christ_n and_o have_v the_o society_n of_o bless_a and_o glorious_a angel_n therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n heb._n 12.22_o 23._o you_o be_v come_v unto_o mount_n zion_n and_o unto_o the_o city_n of_o the_o live_a god_n the_o heavenly_a jerusalem_n and_o to_o a_o

all_o to_o attend_v the_o people_n of_o god_n to_o increase_v their_o happiness_n in_o their_o father_n kingdom_n so_o that_o this_o be_v also_o another_o excellent_a privilege_n or_o a_o five_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
