argument_n take_v out_o of_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o father_n of_o the_o family_n who_o at_o the_o evening_n of_o the_o day_n reward_v equal_o all_o his_o laborer_n that_o have_v be_v employ_v in_o

which_o serve_v but_o as_o flourish_n to_o adorn_v the_o piece_n if_o we_o shall_v consider_v every_o passage_n of_o this_o parable_n we_o may_v gather_v from_o hence_o that_o among_o such_o as_o shall_v be_v save_v there_o shall_v be_v there_o some_o murmur_a against_o god_n who_o shall_v envy_v their_o companion_n which_o be_v a_o gross_a absurdity_n to_o conceive_v the_o design_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v not_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o equality_n of_o the_o glorify_a saint_n but_o his_o intent_n be_v to_o show_v that_o those_o who_o god_n call_v first_o shall_v not_o despise_v the_o

we_o can_v conclude_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o this_o truth_n that_o in_o heaven_n there_o shall_v be_v divers_a degree_n of_o glory_n the_o great_a difficulty_n in_o my_o judgement_n be_v in_o this_o allegation_n that_o we_o shall_v see_v god_n face_n to_o face_n and_o that_o he_o will_v be_v all_o in_o all_o 1_o cor._n 13._o 1_o cor._n 15._o nevertheless_o we_o may_v say_v that_o as_o all_o the_o damn_a in_o hell_n shall_v loose_v all_o sight_n of_o god_n yet_o that_o can_v hinder_v the_o divers_a degree_n of_o pain_n and_o torment_n likewise_o all_o the_o glorify_v in_o heaven_n shall_v see_v god_n but_o this_o sight_n which_o all_o shall_v enjoy_v can_v remove_v the_o inequality_n of_o their_o glory_n and_o happiness_n as_o when_o all_o man_n look_v upon_o the_o same_o sun_n

up_o to_o the_o brim_n with_o his_o glorious_a presence_n so_o that_o god_n shall_v be_v all_o in_o all_o nevertheless_o they_o shall_v receive_v differ_v measure_n of_o these_o water_n issue_v forth_o to_o eternal_a life_n in_o a_o word_n as_o god_n shall_v cast_v headlong_o all_o the_o reprobate_n into_o the_o same_o lake_n of_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n and_o yet_o there_o shall_v be_v

all_o riches_n glory_n light_n meat_n drink_v pleasure_n etc._n etc._n in_o my_o judgement_n we_o can_v conclude_v from_o hence_o that_o he_o be_v to_o make_v all_o equal_a if_o any_o have_v other_o thought_n or_o be_v of_o another_o judgement_n i_o shall_v not_o offer_v to_o condemn_v he_o nor_o to_o undertake_v to_o refute_v he_o for_o i_o conceive_v that_o see_v almighty_a god_n have_v hide_v

too_o much_o modesty_n and_o respect_n only_o i_o must_v take_v notice_n of_o something_o more_o for_o the_o comfort_n of_o the_o good_a and_o devout_a soul_n who_o thought_n and_o mind_n be_v in_o heaven_n that_o when_o we_o affirm_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v differ_v degree_n of_o glory_n in_o paradise_n we_o must_v not_o conceive_v that_o this_o shall_v bring_v any_o diminution_n to_o the_o perfect_a happiness_n of_o the_o glorify_a for_o if_o i_o may_v once_o again_o make_v use_n of_o the_o comparison_n of_o the_o sunbeam_n and_o of_o the_o water_n of_o the_o sea_n i_o can_v find_v any_o more_o proper_a for_o this_o purpose_n as_o all_o eye_n that_o look_v upon_o the_o clear_a sun_n without_o cloud_n or_o mist_n receive_v its_o ray_n in_o a_o differ_a manner_n yet_o they_o
