of_o the_o glorious_a brightness_n of_o the_o judge_n face_n or_o person_n and_o his_o angelical_a attendance_n and_o also_o because_o it_o be_v the_o dreadful_a general_a appearance_n of_o mankind_n

transcendent_a brightness_n of_o christ_n person_n 5_o what_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v that_o which_o flee_v away_o from_o his_o glorious_a face_n what_o ever_o man_n imagine_v to_o the_o

this_o natural_a world_n only_o why_o because_o that_o error_n arise_v out_o of_o the_o atheistical_a heart_n of_o fleshly_a man_n that_o have_v no_o faith_n in_o the_o truth_n of_o holy_a writ_n 9_o moreover_o if_o man_n spirit_n be_v but_o rational_o sober_a though_o at_o present_a they_o be_v never_o so_o atheistical_a they_o may_v be_v convince_v that_o there_o be_v another_o world_n beside_o this_o which_o be_v of_o a_o high_a nature_n compass_v this_o globe_n round_o about_o and_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o global_a as_o this_o be_v only_o there_o be_v no_o elementary_a firmament_n sun_n

a_o infinite_a majesty_n 10_o also_o it_o be_v a_o throne_n of_o exceed_a whiteness_n or_o sunlike_a brightness_n suitable_a unto_o the_o transcendent_a brightness_n of_o the_o king_n person_n that_o sit_v thereon_o and_o his_o glorious_a companion_n 11_o though_o the_o joy_n and_o glory_n of_o a_o earthly_a prince_n consist_v chief_o in_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o person_n power_n vast_a territory_n and_o honourable_a subject_n for_o his_o safety_n yet_o for_o all_o this_o you_o know_v that_o his_o palace_n be_v deck_v with_o embroider_a ornament_n of_o gold_n silver_z precious_a

the_o variety_n of_o his_o infinite_a godhead_n joy_n and_o glory_n principal_o be_v within_o his_o own_o person_n and_o princely_a power_n over_o so_o innumerable_a a_o company_n of_o kingly_a companion_n 13_o yet_o you_o may_v also_o know_v that_o he_o have_v a_o great_a throne_n or_o palace_n for_o the_o further_o set_v forth_o of_o his_o visible_a glory_n deck_v with_o ornament_n of_o

eternal_a majesty_n be_v infinite_a or_o boundless_a as_o he_o be_v i_o will_v fain_o know_v of_o any_o man_n how_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o a_o glorify_a infinite_a spirit_n or_o person_n to_o be_v

world_n yet_o i_o will_v have_v you_o to_o understand_v that_o if_o a_o infinite_a or_o boundless_a god_n with_o his_o mighty_a angel_n shall_v have_v no_o other_o throne_n to_o solace_v themselves_o in_o but_o this_o then_o in_o stead_n of_o spiritual_a liberty_n they_o will_v all_o be_v in_o natural_a bondage_n 18_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o you_o may_v know_v that_o the_o

infinite_a or_o boundless_a god_n and_o a_o throne_n or_o kingdom_n of_o a_o infinite_a circumference_n 21_o if_o our_o body_n be_v answerable_a to_o our_o thought_n this_o world_n can_v not_o
