christian_n have_v this_o honour_n that_o the_o building_n not_o make_v with_o hand_n be_v only_o they_o the_o three_o considerable_a circumstance_n in_o my_o text_n be_v the_o order_n &_o here_o we_o

these_o the_o several_a passage_n considerable_a in_o the_o word_n i_o read_v yield_v we_o three_o circumstance_n of_o holy_a doctrine_n 1_o from_o the_o description_n of_o our_o earthly_a mansion_n we_o may_v collect_v that_o our_o estate_n in_o this_o life_n be_v frail_a transitory_a perish_v 2._o from_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o building_n not_o make_v with_o hand_n we_o gather_v that_o the_o state_n of_o a_o true_a christian_a in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v be_v bless_v and_o eternal_a in_o the_o heaven_n 3._o by_o the_o note_n of_o certainty_n we_o may_v conclude_v that_o every_o convert_a heart_n and_o careful_a soul_n may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v assure_v that_o when_o his_o body_n shall_v be_v dissolve_v his_o soul_n shall_v have_v a_o happy_a dwell_n with_o god_n in_o heaven_n these_o sentence_n of_o holy_a doctrine_n be_v too_o plentiful_a subject_n to_o be_v full_o discourse_v of_o in_o one_o sermon_n i_o will_v speak_v in_o a_o word_n of_o the_o two_o former_a and_o but_o brief_o of_o the_o last_o that_o our_o state_n and_o condition_n in_o this_o life_n be_v frail_a transitory_a perish_v who_o can_v deny_v let_v old_a jacob_n come_v in_o and_o he_o will_v

this_o from_o what_o we_o be_v and_o what_o be_v the_o best_a thing_n we_o can_v have_v 1._o consider_v we_o have_v frail_a body_n no_o better_a than_o a_o lump_n of_o earth_n a_o handful_n of_o worm_n at_o best_a liable_a to_o a_o thousand_o grief_n pain_n ache_n disease_n distemper_n 2._o have_v we_o not_o frail_a spirit_n also_o subject_n to_o many_o trouble_n doubt_n fear_n terror_n

the_o other_o child_n that_o be_v forth_o at_o nurse_n to_o the_o end_n she_o may_v now_o cherish_v it_o but_o when_o the_o messenger_n come_v she_o find_v it_o die_v and_o gasp_v likewise_o and_o examine_v the_o truth_n she_o understand_v that_o through_o the_o mother_n carelessness_n and_o neglect_n to_o look_v after_o it_o the_o poor_a child_n be_v starve_v thus_o be_v the_o fond_a partial_a mother_n to_o her_o great_a sorrow_n and_o shame_n deprive_v of_o both_o her_o hopeful_a babe_n for_o reddition_n of_o this_o parable_n you_o may_v please_v to_o take_v notice_n that_o every_o

in_o part_n dead_a in_o part_n die_v and_o the_o very_a truth_n be_v the_o owner_n through_o neglect_n and_o carelessness_n have_v starve_v the_o soul_n and_o it_o be_v ready_a to_o go_v to_o hell_n before_o the_o body_n be_v ready_a for_o the_o grave_a and_o thus_o the_o foolish_a fond_a christian_a to_o his_o eternal_a sorrow_n and_o shame_n lose_v both_o his_o body_n and_o his_o soul_n and_o
