wonderful_o more_o lively_a and_o vigorous_a than_o now_o nay_o and_o of_o a_o eternal_a duration_n our_o spirit_n there_o will_v never_o flag_n with_o satiety_n and_o repetition_n of_o fruition_n

he_o have_v the_o promise_n of_o another_o and_o thus_o we_o see_v also_o that_o we_o with_o christ_n must_v learn_v to_o be_v able_a to_o despise_v this_o world_n if_o ever_o we_o design_v for_o a_o

further_o if_o thou_o seek_v this_o kingdom_n in_o curiosity_n and_o not_o in_o duty_n and_o as_o a_o servant_n of_o all_o know_v god_n will_v never_o encourage_v thou_o in_o thy_o lust_n and_o whereas_o if_o thou_o address_v he_o with_o a_o humble_a constant_a and_o diligent_a application_n thou_o will_v even_o wonder_v to_o see_v how_o god_n will_v purify_v thou_o by_o degree_n to_o

for_o want_v of_o root_n and_o consideration_n so_o remember_v also_o that_o moderation_n be_v to_o be_v thy_o fountain-vertue_n indeed_o the_o very_a basis_n support_v all_o and_o withal_o take_v

for_o the_o proof_n of_o our_o guardian_n angel_n beside_o the_o general_a instance_n before_o give_v than_o our_o evil_a genius_n the_o scripture_n be_v plain_a in_o this_o matter_n beyond_o doubt_n
