the_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o see_v and_o why_o do_v he_o not_o faint_v under_o present_a pressure_n and_o affliction_n why_o do_v he_o and_o other_o saint_n look_v at_o a_o unseen_a happiness_n and_o reward_n to_o such_o question_n as_o these_o he_o answer_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n for_o we_o know_v that_o if_o our_o earthly_a house_n of_o this_o tabernacle_n be_v dissolve_v we_o have_v a_o build_n of_o god_n a_o house_n not_o make_v with_o hand_n eternal_a in_o the_o heaven_n in_o the_o word_n we_o may_v observe_v these_o several_a part_n i._o a_o name_n the_o apostle_n give_v to_o the_o body_n it_o be_v our_o earthly_a house_n of_o this_o tabernacle_n he_o call_v it_o a_o earthly_a house_n and_o it_o may_v well_o be_v style_v so_o 1._o because_o it_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n genesis_n 2.7_o genesis_n 3.23_o 2._o it_o be_v maintain_v and_o uphold_v by_o food_n that_o grow_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n psal_n 104.14_o 15._o 3._o this_o house_n of_o

return_v again_o gen._n 3.19_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o only_o call_v the_o body_n a_o earthly_a house_n but_o add_v the_o word_n tabernacle_n to_o diminish_v and_o lessen_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n house_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v it_o be_v too_o much_o to_o call_v the_o body_n absolute_o a_o house_n this_o word_n be_v too_o high_a and_o great_a for_o such_o a_o frail_a brittle_a moulder_a thing_n it_o be_v a_o tabernacle_n rather_o than_o a_o house_n and_o so_o the_o apostle_n call_v it_o in_o 2_o cor._n 5.4_o we_o that_o be_v in_o this_o tabernacle_n do_v groan_n be_v burden_v ii_o we_o have_v a_o intimation_n of_o the_o frailty_n of_o this_o earthly_a house_n that_o it_o will_v soon_o fall_v to_o piece_n and_o crumble_v into_o dust_n the_o apostle_n imply_v that_o ruin_n be_v hasten_v on_o it_o and_o that_o its_o dissolution_n do_v approach_v he_o grant_v and_o confess_v that_o it_o must_v and_o will_v short_o be_v dissolve_v the_o wall_n of_o our_o clay_n cottage_n will_v moulder_v down_o the_o board_n of_o our_o tabernacle_n must_v be_v unpin_v this_o tenement_n of_o the_o body_n will_v decay_v and_o fall_v to_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v the_o tenant_n must_v remove_v dislodge_v and_o take_v its_o flight_n into_o eternity_n iii_o we_o have_v the_o gracious_a and_o comfortable_a provision_n that_o god_n have_v make_v for_o his_o people_n when_o this_o earthly_a house_n shall_v be_v dissolve_v we_o have_v a_o build_n of_o god_n a_o house_n not_o make_v with_o hand_n eternal_a in_o the_o heaven_n here_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o though_o severity_n be_v exercise_v towards_o our_o flesh_n and_o old_a man_n that_o this_o tabernacle_n must_v be_v pluck_v down_o and_o turn_v into_o ruin_n and_o rubbish_n yet_o there_o be_v grace_n extend_v to_o the_o new_a man_n though_o the_o soul_n be_v turn_v out_o of_o one_o house_n yet_o it_o be_v take_v into_o another_o though_o it_o may_v not_o sojourn_v any_o long_o in_o a_o tabernacle_n here_o below_o yet_o it_o shall_v dwell_v for_o ever_o in_o a_o palace_n above_o when_o death_n have_v do_v its_o worst_a the_o saint_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o be_v house-less_a or_o harbour-less_a though_o justice_n raze_v their_o earthly_a house_n yet_o mercy_n have_v rear_v and_o raise_v up_o a_o better_a heavenly_a habitation_n for_o they_o out_o of_o which_o they_o shall_v never_o dislodge_v or_o remove_v heaven_n and_o the_o happiness_n there_o to_o be_v enjoy_v be_v set_v out_o here_o under_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o house_n we_o may_v observe_v a_o esegant_a climax_n
