make_v a_o bless_a state_n and_o epicurus_n think_v that_o much_o of_o the_o happiness_n of_o the_o god_n consist_v in_o their_o rest_n and_o quiet_a recess_n from_o the_o bussle_n and_o confusion_n of_o the_o world_n below_o and_o indeed_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o common_a sense_n of_o all_o mankind_n that_o rest_n from_o labour_n make_v a_o bless_a state_n for_o who_o can_v think_v but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o bless_a condition_n to_o be_v free_a from_o pain_n sickness_n torture_n reproach_n torment_v passion_n and_o compassion_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o those_o labour_n which_o i_o show_v that_o even_o good_a man_n be_v subject_a to_o in_o this_o life_n and_o now_o then_o that_o the_o depart_a saint_n do_v rest_n from_o these_o labour_n be_v sufficient_o prove_v in_o that_o the_o all-knowing_a spirit_n of_o truth_n here_o affirm_v it_o for_o the_o spirit_n not_o only_o say_v they_o be_v bless_v but_o say_v also_o they_o be_v therefore_o bless_v because_o they_o rest_v from_o their_o labour_n but_o that_o they_o do_v rest_n from_o their_o labour_n may_v also_o be_v make_v out_o by_o discourse_n and_o reason_v for_o first_o they_o that_o be_v depart_v in_o the_o lord_n have_v lay_v by_o their_o body_n be_v secure_v from_o all_o impression_n that_o be_v make_v upon_o their_o soul_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o their_o sense_n and_o member_n of_o their_o body_n they_o can_v be_v sick_a or_o pain_v or_o weary_a or_o hungry_a or_o feel_v cold_a or_o heat_n or_o be_v wrought_v upon_o by_o any_o engine_n of_o torture_n from_o all_o these_o sort_n of_o labour_n therefore_o the_o separate_a soul_n of_o the_o saint_n must_v needs_o rest_v next_o as_o to_o reproach_n and_o slander_n they_o affect_v we_o not_o in_o the_o body_n further_o than_o we_o hear_v and_o know_v they_o and_o if_o we_o do_v hear_v they_o yet_o the_o testimony_n of_o our_o conscience_n disarm_v false_a reproach_n and_o slander_n of_o their_o sting_n nay_o even_o just_a reproach_n fall_v upon_o a_o good_a man_n through_o some_o scandalous_a act_n of_o sin_n do_v not_o sharp_o afflict_v he_o when_o he_o do_v repent_v for_o the_o shame_n for_o his_o sin_n will_v sit_v light_n where_o the_o sorrow_n for_o his_o sin_n sit_v heavy_a and_o further_o where_o a_o sinner_n repentance_n be_v evident_a none_o will_v reproach_v he_o for_o his_o sin_n but_o fool_n and_o villain_n and_o if_o a_o good_a man_n even_o in_o this_o life_n be_v thus_o secure_a in_o a_o great_a measure_n against_o reproach_n much_o more_o safe_a be_v he_o in_o the_o other_o world_n in_o his_o separate_a state_n
