have_v the_o best_a place_n make_v it_o most_o reasonable_a to_o believe_v that_o abraham_n bosom_n do_v not_o signify_v the_o general_a state_n of_o separation_n even_o of_o the_o bless_a but_o the_o choice_a place_n in_o that_o state_n a_o great_a degree_n of_o blessedness_n but_o because_o he_o be_v the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a therefore_o to_o be_v with_o abraham_n or_o to_o sit_v down_o with_o abraham_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n do_v signify_v the_o same_o thing_n as_o to_o be_v in_o paradise_n but_o to_o be_v in_o abraham_n bosom_n signify_v a_o great_a

by_o s._n john_n call_v paradise_n because_o the_o allegory_n still_o hold_v perfect_o as_o signify_v comfort_n and_o holy_a pleasure_n yet_o the_o spirit_n of_o good_a man_n be_v not_o say_v to_o
