of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v there_o be_v a_o singular_a discretion_n &_o modesty_n require_v both_o in_o the_o teacher_n and_o the_o hearer_n for_o the_o matter_n be_v so_o lofty_a and_o transcend_v so_o far_o the_o understanding_n of_o man_n that_o as_o a_o godly_a pastor_n have_v say_v it_o be_v much_o more_o easy_a to_o describe_v and_o understand_v the_o way_n to_o heaven_n and_o eternal_a life_n nor_o to_o describe_v the_o place_n and_o life_n itself_o therefore_o when_o we_o can_v utter_v the_o dignity_n of_o the_o matter_n itself_o which_o be_v above_o our_o capacity_n we_o be_v force_v to_o speak_v by_o similitude_n and_o under_o shadow_n of_o natural_a thing_n which_o we_o can_v conceive_v that_o thereby_o the_o thing_n supernatural_a may_v be_v better_o conceive_v and_o this_o be_v no_o wonder_n see_v the_o apostle_n say_v 12.4_o that_o he_o be_v take_v up_o into_o paradise_n and_o hear_v word_n which_o can_v be_v speak_v which_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o man_n to_o utter_v yea_o the_o very_a spirit_n of_o god_n speak_v of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o elect_a in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v he_o make_v their_o dwell_a place_n to_o be_v make_v of_o gold_n 22._o

fine_a wine_n and_o why_o speak_v he_o after_o this_o manner_n because_o we_o understand_v this_o language_n and_o by_o reason_n of_o our_o weakness_n and_o ignorance_n can_v mount_v no_o high_o nor_o conceive_v any_o far_a now_o then_o when_o i_o say_v that_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v we_o shall_v be_v delight_v with_o bodily_a and_o sensual_a pleasure_n and_o that_o our_o sense_n of_o see_v

shall_v that_o spiritual_a matter_n be_v otherways_o express_v see_v there_o be_v not_o a_o other_o language_n for_o spiritual_a thing_n nor_o there_o be_v for_o thing_n natural_a but_o that_o there_o be_v many_o attribution_n common_a to_o they_o both_o we_o see_v that_o in_o the_o scripture_n mention_n be_v make_v of_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n when_o notwithstanding_o the_o lord_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o have_v neither_o mouth_n nor_o hand_n as_o man_n have_v but_o by_o the_o one_o be_v signify_v his_o word_n and_o by_o the_o other_o his_o power_n in_o preserve_v or_o punish_v likewise_o the_o life_n be_v call_v life_n aswell_o of_o the_o soul_n as_o of_o the_o body_n death_n also_o be_v a_o word_n common_a both_o to_o the_o soul_n &_o the_o body_n there_o be_v no_o other_o word_n for_o the_o joy_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o joy_n of_o the_o body_n but_o joy_n and_o the_o nourishment_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v call_v food_n aswell_o as_o the_o nourishment_n of_o the_o body_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o our_o body_n shall_v arise_v at_o the_o last_o day_n perfect_a in_o all_o the_o sense_n if_o then_o we_o have_v the_o sense_n of_o necessity_n they_o must_v have_v their_o own_o object_n and_o consequent_o that_o delectation_n which_o result_v of_o the_o object_n may_v be_v pertinent_o call_v a_o bodily_a or_o sensual_a delectation_n because_o it_o fall_v under_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o body_n nevertheless_o neither_o shall_v our_o body_n and_o our_o sense_n nor_o yet_o their_o object_n be_v natural_a mortal_a or_o corruptible_a as_o they_o be_v in_o this_o life_n but_o they_o shall_v be_v spiritual_a immortal_a and_o incorruptible_a for_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 15.44.50_o there_o be_v a_o

be_v why_o the_o lord_n do_v so_o hardly_o entreat_v his_o servant_n in_o this_o life_n not_o only_o in_o withhold_v his_o temporal_a benefit_n from_o they_o but_o also_o in_o send_v they_o great_a

to_o make_v that_o his_o chief_a reward_n be_v not_o temporal_a but_o everlasting_a and_o that_o he_o know_v affliction_n to_o be_v good_a for_o us._n the_o other_o question_n be_v why_o the_o godly_a suffer_v patient_o these_o wrong_n which_o they_o may_v resist_v the_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o reverence_n which_o they_o bear_v to_o the_o lord_n commandment_n and_o the_o hope_n which_o they_o have_v of_o the_o reward_n promise_v which_o be_v eternal_a life_n be_v the_o very_a cause_n of_o it_o and_o forasmuch_o as_o that_o reward_n seem_v to_o the_o natural_a man_n to_o be_v far_o of_o and_o the_o passage_n thereunto_o to_o be_v fearful_a and_o difficile_a it_o be_v therefore_o show_v that_o neither_o the_o reward_n of_o the_o godly_a be_v far_o off_o nor_o yet_o death_n by_o they_o
