eternal_a estate_n depend_v so_o upon_o uncertainty_n and_o let_v they_o consider_v this_o that_o be_v yet_o stranger_n to_o the_o life_n of_o god_n that_o if_o death_n shall_v come_v they_o shall_v not_o escape_v eternal_a death_n it_o be_v good_a to_o keep_v our_o thought_n upon_o this_o and_o it_o will_v make_v we_o not_o to_o hasten_v after_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n as_o we_o do_v and_o for_o thy_o sin_n thou_o dote_v on_o so_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v in_o it_o first_o the_o pleasure_n of_o it_o be_v as_o the_o speckled_a skin_n of_o the_o serpent_n second_o the_o sting_n of_o sin_n and_o three_o the_o eternity_n of_o that_o sting_n now_o look_v not_o thou_o upon_o the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n that_o endure_v but_o for_o a_o season_n but_o consider_v the_o hurt_n that_o come_v from_o sin_n and_o then_o consider_v the_o eternity_n of_o it_o a_o candle_n in_o a_o dark_a night_n make_v a_o great_a show_n but_o when_o the_o sun_n come_v it_o vanish_v and_o be_v nothing_o so_o will_v all_o these_o thing_n that_o we_o do_v so_o affect_v now_o if_o they_o come_v before_o eternity_n in_o our_o thought_n it_o be_v great_a wisdom_n in_o this_o kind_n to_o husband_n our_o thought_n well_o 1_o cor._n 7.29_o 30_o 31._o 31._o use_v this_o world_n as_o not_o use_v it_o for_o the_o fashion_n of_o this_o world_n pass_v away_o that_o be_v mind_n they_o not_o much_o be_v not_o much_o affect_v with_o they_o one_o way_n or_o other_o either_o in_o joy_n or_o grief_n let_v they_o be_v such_o as_o if_o they_o be_v not_o for_o why_o they_o be_v temporal_a thing_n pass_v thing_n thing_n that_o continue_v not_o for_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n i_o gather_v out_o of_o that_o place_n that_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o have_v our_o thought_n to_o be_v bestow_v upon_o they_o but_o so_o remisse_o as_o if_o not_o at_o all_o because_o there_o be_v eternal_a thing_n and_o set_v your_o mind_n upon_o they_o for_o the_o time_n be_v short_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v thou_o have_v not_o so_o much_o time_n to_o spare_v the_o time_n be_v short_a and_o you_o have_v business_n enough_o another_o way_n there_o be_v water_n little_a enough_o to_o run_v in_o the_o right_a channel_n therefore_o let_v none_o run_v beside_o and_o the_o thing_n that_o shall_v take_v up_o your_o mind_n be_v sin_n and_o grace_n thing_n that_o be_v eternal_a it_o be_v a_o pitiful_a thing_n that_o the_o noble_a intention_n of_o eternal_a mind_n shall_v be_v bestow_v so_o ill_o upon_o these_o flit_a thing_n which_o be_v nothing_o to_o eternity_n a_o man_n that_o have_v not_o much_o money_n in_o his_o purse_n but_o only_o for_o to_o provide_v necessary_n when_o one_o come_v and_o ask_v he_o to_o borrow_v any_o he_o will_v say_v i_o have_v no_o more_o than_o to_o buy_v i_o food_n and_o raiment_n or_o if_o he_o have_v his_o rent_n to_o pay_v and_o no_o more_o if_o one_o shall_v come_v to_o borrow_v any_o of_o he_o he_o say_v no_o i_o have_v no_o more_o than_o to_o pay_v my_o rent_n so_o say_v the_o apostle_n there_o you_o have_v no_o such_o spare_a time_n no_o such_o spare_a affection_n that_o you_o can_v bestow_v they_o elsewhere_o but_o bestow_v they_o upon_o thing_n that_o endure_v to_o eternal_a life_n and_o further_o to_o move_v you_o to_o this_o consider_v the_o shortness_n and_o vanity_n of_o this_o life_n hereunto_o how_o all_o mankind_n be_v hurry_v and_o rapt_v with_o a_o sudden_a motion_n to_o the_o west_n of_o their_o day_n our_o father_n go_v before_o we_o we_o follow_v they_o and_o our_o child_n follow_v we_o at_o the_o heel_n as_o one_o wave_n follow_v another_o and_o at_o last_o we_o be_v all_o dash_v on_o the_o shore_n of_o death_n and_o withal_o consider_v the_o vanity_n that_o all_o condition_n be_v subject_a unto_o whether_o they_o be_v mountain_n or_o valley_n if_o mountain_n they_o be_v subject_a to_o blast_n to_o be_v envy_v or_o if_o valley_n to_o be_v over-drowned_n oppress_v and_o contemn_v yea_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o prize_v most_o honour_n and_o pleasure_n what_o do_v they_o but_o weary_v we_o and_o then_o whet_v our_o appetite_n to_o a_o new_a edge_n consider_v the_o man_n that_o have_v be_v before_o we_o many_o man_n that_o have_v be_v like_o a_o green_a tree_n but_o now_o the_o flood_n of_o their_o wealth_n be_v dry_v up_o they_o and_o their_o good_n have_v perish_v together_o consider_v in_o the_o second_o place_n what_o eternity_n be_v here_o the_o body_n be_v corrupt_v with_o disease_n and_o the_o soul_n subject_n to_o vexation_n but_o that_o life_n be_v sure_a compose_v and_o constant_a and_o there_o be_v no_o variableness_n in_o it_o and_o if_o we_o desire_v life_n so_o much_o why_o do_v we_o esteem_v this_o life_n that_o be_v but_o a_o span_n long_o and_o neglect_v that_o which_o be_v so_o spacious_a consider_v the_o errand_n upon_o which_o you_o be_v send_v into_o this_o world_n and_o be_v not_o put_v aside_o from_o it_o by_o any_o needless_a occasion_n as_o they_o be_v all_o when_o they_o come_v into_o competition_n with_o this_o which_o hinder_v our_o thought_n and_o our_o action_n as_o far_o as_o they_o belong_v to_o eternity_n and_o indeed_o all_o the_o world_n spend_v too_o much_o of_o their_o time_n upon_o by-business_n and_o they_o be_v hamper_v with_o they_o before_o they_o be_v aware_a still_o make_v ourselves_o new_a work_n so_o that_o we_o make_v this_o life_n which_o be_v short_a enough_o of_o itself_o short_a than_o it_o be_v weary_v ourselves_o with_o anxious_a grief_n labour_n and_o care_n thus_o man_n do_v before_o we_o and_o thus_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v therefore_o we_o have_v the_o more_o need_n to_o take_v heed_n unto_o it_o use_v 2_o if_o god_n be_v eternal_a then_o be_v not_o you_o offend_v because_o you_o see_v that_o he_o stay_v long_o long_o either_o in_o give_v reward_n or_o in_o execute_v judgement_n on_o man_n for_o their_o sin_n for_o with_o he_o no_o time_n be_v long_o there_o be_v no_o succession_n with_o he_o therefore_o say_v not_o because_o you_o feel_v nothing_o for_o the_o present_a there_o be_v great_a promise_n make_v but_o you_o find_v no_o performance_n and_o there_o be_v many_o judgement_n threaten_v but_o none_o execute_v do_v not_o you_o therefore_o say_v that_o your_o reward_n be_v neglect_v or_o judgement_n pass_v over_o and_o that_o god_n have_v forget_v for_o here_o you_o see_v that_o with_o god_n no_o time_n be_v long_o or_o short_a there_o be_v no_o succession_n with_o he_o you_o have_v the_o same_o use_v make_v of_o it_o isai._n 40.27_o 28._o 28._o why_o say_v thou_o o_o jacob_n and_o speak_v o_o israel_n my_o way_n be_v hide_v from_o the_o lord_n and_o my_o judgement_n be_v pass_v over_o from_o my_o god_n there_o be_v the_o objection_n that_o which_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n now_o you_o shall_v see_v what_o answer_n be_v make_v to_o it_o in_o the_o follow_a verse_n have_v thou_o not_o know_v have_v thou_o not_o hear_v that_o the_o everlasting_a god_n the_o lord_n the_o creator_n of_o the_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n faint_v not_o neither_o be_v weary_a there_o be_v no_o search_v of_o his_o understanding_n the_o meaning_n be_v this_o to_o we_o indeed_o the_o time_n be_v long_o either_o when_o reward_n be_v defer_v or_o when_o the_o punishment_n or_o the_o execution_n of_o sentence_n against_o evil_a work_n be_v defer_v but_o with_o god_n it_o be_v not_o so_o now_o that_o which_o make_v it_o seem_v long_o to_o we_o be_v 1_o partly_o the_o passion_n and_o restlessness_n of_o the_o mind_n for_o that_o be_v motion_n but_o god_n he_o be_v without_o all_o motion_n or_o passion_n and_o therefore_o nothing_o be_v long_o 2_o again_o not_o only_o we_o be_v subject_a to_o motion_n but_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v to_o do_v with_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o motion_n and_o pass_v away_o and_o therefore_o they_o seem_v long_o to_o we_o for_o time_n you_o know_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o measure_n of_o motion_n and_o therefore_o where_o there_o be_v motion_n there_o be_v time_n and_o no_o while_n else_o now_o to_o we_o that_o be_v in_o motion_n and_o to_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v to_o do_v with_o a_o thousand_o year_n be_v a_o thousand_o year_n but_o in_o god_n there_o be_v no_o motion_n nor_o flux_n and_o therefore_o a_o thousand_o year_n with_o he_o be_v but_o as_o one_o day_n god_n be_v neither_o in_o motion_n himself_o nor_o be_v other_o thing_n as_o in_o motion_n to_o he_o but_o we_o be_v move_v and_o the_o thing_n we_o have_v to_o do_v with_o be_v move_v and_o if_o either_o there_o must_v be_v motion_n for_o if_o the_o ship_n move_v though_o the_o water_n stand_v still_o or_o if_o
