be_v but_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 for_o we_o shall_v see_v he_o as_o he_o be_v some_o render_v the_o word_n when_o it_o shall_v appear_v mean_v when_o our_o future_a state_n shall_v come_v we_o shall_v be_v like_o god_n and_o indeed_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o more_o natural_a read_n we_o shall_v be_v like_o god_n in_o all_o manner_n of_o glory_n according_a to_o the_o capacity_n of_o finite_a being_n and_o save_v the_o difference_n that_o ever_o must_v be_v between_o god_n and_o creature_n we_o shall_v be_v like_o he_o in_o a_o divine_a and_o immortal_a life_n this_o frail_a animal_n life_n be_v quit_v and_o change_v into_o a_o spiritual_a one_o and_o corruption_n be_v swallow_v up_o of_o incorruption_n but_o the_o great_a happiness_n will_v be_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v like_o he_o in_o the_o divine_a perfection_n and_o excellency_n of_o his_o mind_n without_o any_o error_n in_o the_o understanding_n without_o any_o obliquity_n in_o the_o will_n without_o any_o disorder_n in_o the_o affection_n there_o will_v be_v a_o perfect_a rectitude_n in_o our_o nature_n resemble_v in_o all_o possible_a degree_n those_o perfection_n which_o be_v in_o the_o ever_o bless_a god_n who_o be_v absolute_o righteous_a holy_a and_o good_n now_o by_o what_o be_v thus_o reveal_v to_o we_o concern_v the_o state_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o light_n we_o may_v easy_o perceive_v what_o disposition_n of_o soul_n be_v necessary_a to_o be_v in_o we_o to_o fit_a and_o prepare_v we_o for_o a_o bless_a portion_n with_o they_o viz._n the_o same_o divine_a and_o heavenly_a disposition_n which_o the_o saint_n in_o light_n have_v such_o quality_n and_o habit_n of_o mind_n we_o must_v have_v here_o such_o a_o heavenly_a conversation_n we_o must_v begin_v here_o such_o a_o frame_n and_o temper_v of_o heart_n we_o must_v carry_v with_o we_o to_o the_o grave_a because_o as_o our_o inclination_n and_o affection_n be_v when_o we_o go_v out_o of_o this_o world_n so_o they_o will_v be_v for_o ever_o i_o observe_v before_o that_o some_o virtue_n be_v peculiar_a to_o our_o present_a circumstance_n to_o this_o weak_a mortal_a and_o militant_a condition_n even_o those_o virtue_n we_o must_v be_v careful_a to_o grow_v and_o proceed_v in_o now_o because_o they_o help_v every_o one_o of_o they_o in_o its_o kind_n and_o in_o some_o measure_n to_o prepare_v we_o for_o a_o better_a state_n but_o because_o the_o life_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o light_n do_v immediate_o consist_v in_o the_o exercise_n and_o vigorous_a activity_n of_o such_o disposition_n as_o be_v proper_a to_o a_o glorious_a and_o perfect_a state_n therefore_o our_o great_a study_n and_o business_n in_o this_o world_n shall_v be_v to_o enrich_v and_o adorn_v our_o soul_n with_o those_o disposition_n chief_o and_o to_o make_v they_o habitual_a to_o we_o by_o the_o familiar_a and_o delightful_a practice_n of_o they_o now_o that_o we_o may_v be_v in_o heaven_n as_o in_o our_o proper_a element_n that_o the_o society_n of_o saint_n and_o angel_n may_v be_v to_o our_o heart_n desire_n and_o that_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o other_o world_n may_v be_v such_o as_o we_o will_v be_v in_o such_o as_o we_o may_v be_v in_o love_n with_o such_o as_o we_o may_v enjoy_v with_o the_o high_a pleasure_n and_o satisfaction_n be_v we_o catch_v up_o with_o

thorn_n which_o adam_n leave_v we_o and_o throw_v our_o grief_n and_o trouble_n away_o all_o at_o once_o and_o so_o take_v our_o flight_n into_o those_o happy_a region_n above_o good_a god_n what_o a_o orderly_a quiet_a and_o harmonious_a world_n shall_v we_o find_v there_o what_o a_o family_n of_o love_n what_o a_o consort_n of_o devout_a spirit_n what_o a_o angelical_a host_n with_o ecstasy_n and_o rapture_n behold_v the_o face_n of_o god_n what_o a_o glorious_a church_n not_o have_v spot_n or_o wrinkle_n or_o any_o such_o thing_n but_o holy_a and_o without_o blemish_n every_o soul_n there_o resemble_v the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n in_o bliss_n and_o sanctity_n 3._o therefore_o that_o we_o may_v be_v meet_a to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o inheritance_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o light_n we_o must_v above_o all_o thing_n accustom_v ourselves_o to_o the_o delightful_a practice_n of_o those_o heavenly_a grace_n which_o be_v to_o be_v our_o life_n in_o that_o day_n to_o fill_v our_o heart_n with_o a_o entire_a love_n of_o god_n and_o man_n to_o have_v fervent_a and_o perfect_a charity_n among_o ourselves_o to_o lay_v aside_o all_o malice_n and_o bitterness_n of_o mind_n to_o keep_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o bond_n of_o peace_n to_o put_v on_o as_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n bowel_n of_o mercy_n and_o kindness_n to_o love_v the_o habitation_n of_o god_n house_n and_o the_o place_n where_o his_o honour_n dwell_v here_o below_o to_o pray_v without_o cease_v and_o to_o be_v continual_o in_o the_o temple_n praising_n and_o bless_v god_n in_o a_o great_a congregation_n to_o have_v god_n always_o in_o our_o thought_n increase_v daily_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o and_o be_v fill_v with_o it_o in_o all_o wisdom_n and_o spiritual_a understanding_n to_o cleanse_v ourselves_o from_o all_o filthiness_n of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n and_o for_o the_o perfect_a of_o holiness_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n to_o be_v like_o he_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v possible_a even_o in_o this_o world_n to_o be_v as_o he_o be_v and_z by_o behold_v as_o in_o a_o glass_n the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o be_v change_v into_o the_o same_o image_n from_o glory_n to_o glory_n from_o one_o degree_n of_o it_o to_o another_o so_o much_o as_o we_o have_v of_o these_o virtue_n and_o perfection_n now_o so_o much_o we_o have_v of_o heaven_n in_o our_o possession_n already_o this_o we_o shall_v mind_v therefore_o as_o the_o only_a thing_n we_o be_v to_o mind_n as_o long_o as_o we_o breathe_v because_o our_o eternal_a fortune_n depend_v upon_o such_o a_o disposition_n and_o temper_n as_o i_o speak_v of_o now_o it_o do_v not_o only_o insure_v our_o title_n to_o the_o saint_n inheritance_n but_o it_o likewise_o render_v our_o entrance_n into_o it_o very_o easy_a and_o as_o it_o be_v natural_a unto_o we_o and_o this_o be_v the_o high_a advantage_n we_o get_v by_o the_o sincere_a practice_n and_o love_n of_o religion_n though_o it_o be_v a_o security_n to_o we_o against_o all_o the_o danger_n of_o this_o life_n and_o against_o all_o our_o enemy_n round_o about_o we_o because_o it_o entitle_v we_o to_o god_n

in_o the_o way_n of_o virtue_n and_o piety_n bring_v we_o a_o advantage_n beyond_o all_o these_o it_o prepare_v we_o for_o a_o bless_a life_n to_o that_o degree_n that_o after_o death_n we_o shall_v be_v fit_a for_o no_o other_o state_n but_o the_o society_n of_o saint_n and_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n and_o herein_o lie_v the_o extreme_a folly_n of_o lewd_a and_o profligate_v wretch_n that_o while_o other_o be_v lay_v up_o in_o store_n such_o excellent_a security_n against_o the_o time_n to_o come_v that_o they_o may_v attain_v eternal_a life_n these_o be_v treasure_v up_o all_o the_o
