of_o this_o world_n be_v so_o contrive_v as_o to_o yield_v we_o very_o little_a happiness_n if_o they_o go_v off_o quick_o they_o signify_v nothing_o and_o if_o they_o stay_v long_o we_o be_v sick_a of_o they_o after_o a_o full_a draught_n of_o any_o sensual_a pleasure_n we_o present_o loathe_v it_o and_o hate_v it_o as_o much_o after_o the_o enjoyment_n as_o we_o court_v it_o and_o long_v for_o it_o in_o the_o expectation_n but_o the_o delight_n of_o the_o other_o world_n as_o they_o will_v give_v we_o full_a satisfaction_n so_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v weary_a of_o they_o every_o repetition_n of_o they_o will_v be_v accompany_v with_o a_o new_a pleasure_n and_o contentment_n in_o the_o felicity_n of_o heaven_n these_o two_o thing_n shall_v be_v reconcile_v which_o never_o meet_v together_o in_o any_o sensual_a delight_n long_o and_o full_a enjoyment_n and_o yet_o a_o fresh_a and_o perpetual_a pleasure_n as_o in_o god_n presence_n there_o be_v fullness_n of_o joy_n so_o at_o his_o right_a hand_n there_o shall_v be_v pleasure_n for_o evermore_o 2._o the_o happiness_n of_o the_o other_o life_n be_v not_o only_o incomparable_o beyond_o any_o happiness_n of_o this_o world_n that_o it_o may_v be_v be_v no_o great_a commendation_n of_o it_o but_o it_o be_v very_o great_a in_o itself_o the_o happiness_n of_o heaven_n be_v usual_o in_o scripture_n describe_v to_o we_o by_o such_o pleasure_n as_o be_v manly_a and_o excellent_a chaste_a and_o intellectual_a infinite_o more_o pure_a and_o refine_a than_o those_o of_o sense_n and_o if_o the_o scripture_n at_o any_o time_n descend_v to_o the_o metaphor_n of_o a_o feast_n and_o a_o banquet_n and_o a_o marriage_n it_o be_v plain_o by_o way_n of_o accommodation_n to_o our_o weakness_n and_o condescension_n to_o our_o capacity_n but_o the_o chief_a ingredient_n of_o this_o happiness_n so_o far_o as_o the_o scripture_n have_v think_v fit_a to_o reveal_v it_o to_o we_o be_v the_o perfection_n of_o our_o knowledge_n and_o the_o height_n of_o our_o love_n and_o the_o perpetual_a society_n and_o friendship_n of_o all_o the_o bless_a inhabitant_n of_o those_o glorious_a mansion_n and_o the_o joyful_a concurrence_n of_o all_o these_o in_o cheerful_a expression_n of_o gratitude_n in_o the_o incessant_a praise_n and_o admiration_n of_o the_o fountain_n and_o author_n of_o all_o this_o happiness_n and_o what_o can_v be_v more_o delightful_a than_o to_o have_v our_o understanding_n entertain_v with_o a_o clear_a sight_n of_o the_o best_a and_o most_o perfect_a be_v with_o the_o knowledge_n of_o all_o his_o work_n and_o of_o the_o wise_a design_n of_o his_o providence_n here_o in_o the_o world_n than_o to_o live_v in_o the_o revive_a presence_n of_o god_n and_o to_o be_v continual_o attend_v upon_o he_o who_o favour_n be_v life_n and_o who_o glory_n be_v much_o more_o above_o that_o of_o any_o of_o the_o prince_n of_o this_o world_n than_o the_o great_a of_o they_o be_v above_o the_o poor_a worm_n the_o queen_n of_o sheba_n think_v solomon_n servant_n happy_a in_o have_v the_o opportunity_n by_o stand_v continual_o before_o he_o to_o hear_v his_o wisdom_n but_o in_o the_o other_o world_n it_o shall_v be_v a_o happiness_n to_o solomon_n himself_o and_o to_o the_o wise_a and_o great_a person_n that_o ever_o be_v in_o this_o world_n to_o stand_v before_o this_o great_a king_n to_o admire_v his_o wisdom_n and_o to_o behold_v his_o glory_n not_o that_o i_o imagine_v the_o happiness_n of_o heaven_n to_o consist_v in_o a_o perpetual_a gaze_v upon_o god_n and_o in_o a_o idle_a contemplation_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o that_o place_n for_o as_o by_o that_o bless_a sight_n we_o shall_v be_v infinite_o transport_v so_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o we_o shall_v be_v also_o transform_v into_o the_o image_n of_o the_o divine_a perfection_n we_o shall_v see_v god_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v like_o he_o and_o what_o great_a happiness_n can_v there_o be_v than_o to_o be_v like_o the_o happy_a and_o most_o perfect_a be_v in_o the_o world_n beside_o who_o can_v tell_v what_o employment_n god_n may_v have_v for_o we_o in_o the_o next_o life_n we_o need_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o he_o who_o be_v happiness_n itself_o and_o have_v promise_v to_o make_v we_o happy_a can_v easy_o find_v out_o such_o employment_n and_o delight_n for_o we_o in_o the_o other_o world_n as_o will_v be_v proper_a and_o suitable_a to_o that_o state_n but_o then_o beside_o the_o improvement_n of_o our_o knowledge_n there_o shall_v be_v the_o most_o delightful_a exercise_n of_o love_n when_o we_o come_v to_o heaven_n we_o shall_v enter_v into_o the_o society_n of_o the_o bless_a angel_n and_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o just_a man_n make_v perfect_a that_o be_v free_v from_o all_o those_o passion_n and_o infirmity_n which_o do_v now_o render_v the_o conversation_n even_o of_o the_o best_a man_n sometime_o troublesome_a to_o one_o another_o we_o shall_v then_o meet_v with_o all_o those_o excellent_a person_n those_o brave_a mind_n those_o innocent_a and_o charitable_a soul_n who_o we_o have_v see_v and_o hear_v and_o read_v of_o in_o this_o world_n there_o we_o shall_v meet_v with_o many_o of_o our_o dear_a relation_n and_o intimate_a friend_n and_o perhaps_o with_o many_o of_o our_o enemy_n to_o who_o we_o shall_v then_o be_v perfect_o reconcile_v notwithstanding_o all_o the_o warm_a contest_v and_o peevish_a difference_n which_o we_o have_v with_o they_o in_o this_o world_n even_o about_o matter_n of_o religion_n for_o heaven_n be_v a_o state_n of_o perfect_a love_n and_o friendship_n there_o will_v be_v nothing_o but_o kindness_n and_o good_a nature_n there_o and_o all_o the_o prudent_a art_n of_o endearment_n and_o wise_a way_n of_o render_v conversation_n mutual_o pleasant_a to_o one_o another_o and_o what_o great_a happiness_n can_v be_v imagine_v than_o to_o converse_v free_o with_o so_o many_o excellent_a person_n without_o any_o thing_n of_o folly_n or_o disguise_n of_o jealousy_n or_o design_n upon_o one_o another_o for_o then_o there_o will_v be_v none_o of_o those_o vice_n and_o passion_n of_o covetousness_n and_o ambition_n of_o envy_n and_o hatred_n of_o wrath_n and_o peevishness_n which_o do_v now_o so_o much_o spoil_v the_o pleasure_n and_o disturb_v the_o quiet_a of_o mankind_n all_o quarrel_n and_o

all_o those_o controversy_n in_o religion_n which_o be_v now_o so_o hot_o agitate_a will_n then_o be_v final_o determine_v not_o as_o we_o endeavour_v to_o end_v they_o now_o by_o canon_n and_o

their_o life_n and_o for_o all_o his_o merciful_a providence_n towards_o they_o in_o this_o world_n but_o above_o all_o for_o the_o redemption_n of_o their_o soul_n by_o the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n
