intermedial_a advantage_n of_o a_o good_a life_n recommend_v it_o only_o from_o that_o which_o be_v proper_a and_o pecaliar_n to_o it_o for_o vice_n have_v its_o present_a pleasure_n as_o well_o as_o virtue_n but_o herein_o be_v they_o discriminate_v that_o it_o be_v virtue_n only_o that_o end_v well_o i_o myself_o say_v the_o psalmist_n have_v see_v the_o ungodly_a in_o great_a power_n flourish_v like_o a_o green_a bay-tree_n there_o be_v the_o present_a pomp_n and_o triumph_n of_o sin_n but_o i_o go_v by_o and_o lo_o he_o be_v go_v i_o seek_v he_o but_o his_o place_n can_v no_o where_o be_v find_v there_o be_v the_o unhappy_a close_n of_o the_o merry_a comedy_n then_o it_o follow_v as_o a_o practical_a remark_n from_o the_o whole_a keep_v innocency_n and_o take_v heed_n to_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v right_o for_o that_o shall_v bring_v a_o man_n peace_n at_o the_o last_o the_o word_n be_v natural_o resolvable_a into_o these_o three_o consideration_n which_o shall_v be_v make_v

3._o that_o therefore_o it_o high_o concern_v every_o man_n to_o keep_v innocency_n and_o to_o take_v heed_n to_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v right_o in_o one_o word_n to_o live_v well_o the_o sum_n and_o force_n of_o the_o whole_a may_v be_v reduce_v to_o this_o practical_a syllogism_n that_o which_o will_v bring_v a_o man_n peace_n at_o the_o last_o be_v to_o be_v chief_o mind_v and_o most_o diligent_o heed_v but_o a_o life_n of_o piety_n and_o virtue_n will_v bring_v a_o man_n peace_n at_o the_o last_o therefore_o a_o life_n of_o piety_n and_o virtue_n be_v to_o be_v chief_o mind_v and_o most_o diligent_o heed_v i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o consideration_n that_o peace_n at_o the_o last_o be_v more_o to_o be_v value_v than_o any_o of_o the_o temporary_a pleasure_n of_o sin_n now_o this_o term_n at_o the_o last_o may_v be_v take_v two_o way_n either_o for_o the_o last_o and_o conclude_a period_n of_o a_o man_n life_n in_o this_o world_n and_o then_o peace_n at_o the_o last_o will_v be_v all_o one_o with_o peace_n at_o the_o house_n of_o death_n or_o else_o for_o the_o last_o and_o unchangeable_a state_n of_o man_n in_o the_o other_o world_n and_o then_o peace_n at_o the_o last_o will_v be_v the_o same_o with_o everlasting_a peace_n i_o shall_v consider_v the_o proposition_n with_o respect_n to_o both_o these_o sense_n and_o first_o for_o peace_n at_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n the_o inestimable_a value_n of_o which_o though_o none_o be_v so_o well_o able_a to_o judge_v of_o as_o they_o who_o be_v real_o and_o actual_o concern_v in_o that_o dreadful_a moment_n yet_o we_o may_v take_v some_o measure_n of_o it_o by_o consider_v a_o little_a what_o it_o be_v to_o die_v and_o how_o miserable_a be_v the_o condition_n of_o those_o who_o have_v live_v so_o ill_a as_o to_o want_v this_o peace_n at_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n and_o first_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o which_o i_o fear_v we_o seldom_o do_v what_o it_o be_v to_o die_v death_n be_v a_o thing_n of_o a_o

but_o much_o more_o so_o in_o its_o issue_n and_o consequence_n which_o be_v both_o great_a and_o doubtful_a for_o upon_o this_o one_o thing_n more_o depend_v than_o upon_o all_o the_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n beside_o indeed_o the_o loss_n of_o life_n and_o the_o pain_n and_o agony_n wherewith_o it_o be_v lose_v be_v the_o least_o part_n of_o death_n this_o indeed_o be_v the_o whole_a of_o it_o to_o brute_n and_o irrational_a creature_n they_o suffer_v pain_n for_o a_o while_n then_o resign_v up_o their_o breath_n and_o lose_v both_o the_o sense_n and_o the_o remembrance_n of_o both_o

eternal_o happy_a or_o eternal_o miserable_a it_o can_v sure_o but_o be_v matter_n of_o vast_a importance_n to_o a_o man_n to_o consider_v which_o of_o these_o two_o be_v like_a to_o be_v his_o lot_n when_o he_o be_v just_a about_o to_o try_v one_o of_o they_o nay_o indeed_o it_o will_v then_o near_o concern_v he_o to_o be_v pretty_a well_o assure_v of_o the_o welfare_n of_o his_o afterstate_n

the_o second_o consideration_n that_o a_o good_a life_n which_o the_o psalmist_n here_o express_v by_o keep_v innocency_n and_o take_v heed_n to_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v right_o will_v certain_o
