most_o serious_a meditation_n on_o this_o sorrowful_a occasion_n to_o they_o who_o by_o patient_a continuance_n in_o well-doing_n etc._n etc._n a_o scripture_n that_o be_v eminent_o exemplify_v in_o her_o life_n and_o be_v now_o more_o full_o accomplish_v and_o make_v good_a to_o she_o in_o her_o death_n and_o upon_o both_o account_n i_o hope_v so_o much_o the_o more_o adapt_v for_o our_o present_a instruction_n in_o conjunction_n with_o that_o awaken_n and_o teach_v providence_n which_o give_v the_o occasion_n to_o this_o discourse_n upon_o it_o which_o be_v design_v both_o for_o a_o instructive_a lesson_n to_o the_o live_n and_o a_o solemn_a memorial_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v by_o the_o divine_a assistance_n to_o cast_v it_o into_o such_o a_o method_n and_o form_n as_o may_v be_v in_o some_o measure_n accommodate_v to_o both_o part_n of_o that_o design_n but_o to_o the_o latter_a in_o subserviency_n to_o the_o former_a as_o that_o which_o be_v principal_o to_o be_v regard_v in_o such_o sacred_a discourse_n in_o the_o word_n we_o have_v two_o thing_n more_o general_o offer_v to_o our_o serious_a consideration_n 1._o the_o descriptive_a character_n of_o the_o heir_n of_o future_a blessedness_n they_o be_v such_o who_o by_o patient_a continuance_n in_o well_o do_v seek_v for_o glory_n and_o honour_n and_o immortality_n 2._o the_o final_a happiness_n unto_o which_o they_o shall_v at_o last_o be_v advance_v by_o the_o gracious_a designation_n and_o appointment_n of_o their_o heavenly_a father_n and_o this_o be_v brief_o sum_v up_o in_o those_o two_o comprehensive_a word_n eternal_a life_n which_o indeed_o be_v both_o too_o big_a for_o our_o thought_n in_o this_o dark_a imperfect_a state_n and_o be_v only_o thorough_o understand_v where_o what_o be_v signify_v by_o they_o be_v full_o enjoy_v the_o character_n of_o the_o person_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v full_a &_o extensive_a the_o felicity_n that_o await_v they_o at_o the_o end_n of_o their_o course_n be_v great_a and_o glorious_a and_o the_o connection_n that_o be_v between_o they_o be_v firm_a and_o certain_a result_v from_o that_o divine_a 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o the_o precede_a part_n of_o the_o context_n that_o righteous_a judgement_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o make_v a_o true_a estimate_n of_o person_n and_o action_n according_a to_o the_o proper_a rule_n of_o judgement_n and_o will_v therefore_o render_v to_o every_o one_o according_a to_o his_o deed_n and_o so_o with_o little_a variation_n we_o may_v sum_n up_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n in_o this_o doctrinal_a conclusion_n viz._n doct._n that_o all_o they_o who_o by_o patient_a continuance_n in_o well-doing_n seek_v for_o glory_n and_o honour_n and_o immortality_n shall_v at_o last_o obtain_v the_o full_a possession_n of_o what_o they_o seek_v after_o in_o eternal_a life_n this_o be_v a_o conclusion_n of_o that_o indubitable_a certainty_n that_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o can_v be_v call_v in_o question_n without_o deny_v at_o once_o the_o divine_a veracity_n and_o remunerative_a justice_n for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n according_a to_o which_o his_o final_a distribution_n of_o eternal_a reward_n and_o punishment_n shall_v be_v make_v at_o the_o last_o day_n have_v express_o declare_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v thus_o and_o that_o in_o many_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o text_n and_o therefore_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o altogether_o needless_a to_o insist_v upon_o the_o direct_a proof_n or_o confirmation_n of_o this_o truth_n among_o those_o that_o do_v acknowledge_v the_o divine_a authority_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o believe_v they_o to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n all_o that_o i_o shall_v do_v further_o in_o speak_v to_o it_o shall_v be_v first_o to_o explain_v and_o then_o to_o apply_v it_o to_o ourselves_o on_o this_o sorrowful_a occasion_n in_o the_o explication_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n to_o be_v distinct_o consider_v and_o speak_v to_o viz._n 1._o the_o extensive_a import_n of_o the_o character_n by_o which_o the_o heir_n of_o future_a blessedness_n be_v here_o describe_v 2._o the_o nature_n and_o excellency_n of_o that_o final_a happiness_n which_o do_v by_o the_o divine_a ordination_n and_o appointment_n belong_v to_o they_o as_o their_o everlasting_a inheritance_n 3._o what_o kind_n of_o connection_n there_o be_v between_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o i_o e._n between_o the_o qualification_n import_v in_o this_o character_n and_o that_o felicity_n to_o which_o all_o that_o bear_v it_o shall_v at_o last_o be_v advance_v 1._o that_o which_o do_v most_o fit_o come_v under_o our_o consideration_n in_o the_o first_o place_n be_v the_o extensive_a import_n of_o their_o excellent_a character_n who_o be_v here_o speak_v of_o and_o as_o in_o the_o general_n we_o see_v they_o be_v describe_v by_o the_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a tendency_n and_o scope_n of_o their_o desire_n and_o aim_n which_o be_v too_o high_a to_o be_v confine_v to_o this_o low_a world_n or_o to_o take_v up_o their_o rest_n in_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v measure_v by_o time_n so_o more_o particular_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n in_o this_o character_n to_o be_v distinct_o explain_v 1._o the_o great_a and_o noble_a object_n of_o their_o earnest_a desire_n and_o constant_a aim_n express_v here_o by_o glory_n honour_n and_o immortality_n 2._o their_o soul_n actual_a motion_n towards_o this_o object_n here_o

that_o be_v a_o patient_a continuance_n in_o well-doing_n first_o we_o may_v understand_v somewhat_o of_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o character_n here_o give_v we_o of_o the_o heir_n of_o future_a blessedness_n by_o consider_v the_o object_n of_o their_o earnest_a desire_n and_o steady_a aim_n which_o indeed_o be_v great_a and_o noble_a well-beseeming_a the_o dignity_n of_o a_o heavenborn_a

they_o shall_v have_v reach_v the_o mark_n at_o which_o they_o aim_v i_o shall_v neither_o trouble_v myself_o nor_o you_o with_o a_o needless_a enquiry_n into_o the_o more_o nice_a and_o critical_a
