able_a to_o understand_v what_o the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n be_v and_o not_o before_o unless_o thou_o come_v to_o feel_v they_o as_o now_o i_o do_v no_o there_o be_v but_o one_o way_n of_o understand_v

give_v i_o leave_v to_o apply_v what_o have_v be_v say_v in_o few_o word_n and_o so_o conclude_v if_o then_o god_n have_v provide_v for_o we_o full_a joy_n and_o eternal_a pleasure_n in_o another_o life_n which_o exceed_v both_o our_o power_n to_o express_v and_o our_o heart_n to_o conceive_v be_v it_o not_o our_o bind_a duty_n to_o render_v he_o all_o the_o honour_n and_o praise_v due_a unto_o his_o name_n for_o they_o that_o know_v his_o name_n will_v put_v their_o trust_n in_o he_o let_v this_o first_o of_o all_o excite_v our_o heart_n to_o praise_n and_o magnify_v god_n for_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n and_o love_n to_o mankind_n that_o he_o have_v ordain_v so_o happy_a a_o end_n and_o such_o transport_v joy_n for_o we_o poor_a mortal_n as_o the_o eternal_a fruition_n of_o himself_o lord_n what_o be_v man_n that_o thou_o shall_v exalt_v he_o above_o the_o other_o work_v of_o thy_o hand_n and_o so_o far_o too_o as_o to_o make_v thyself_o the_o inheritance_n of_o his_o rest_n and_o the_o substance_n of_o his_o triumphant_a joy_n be_v there_o any_o great_a happiness_n that_o thou_o can_v have_v give_v he_o than_o that_o thou_o shall_v give_v he_o thyself_o for_o his_o happiness_n be_v there_o any_o sure_a than_o that_o which_o be_v found_v upon_o thy_o immutability_n and_o eternity_n what_o can_v thou_o have_v do_v more_o for_o thy_o creature_n how_o then_o can_v we_o do_v less_o than_o exalt_v and_o magnify_v thy_o infinite_a goodness_n mercy_n and_o bounty_n to_o we_o for_o ever_o as_o thy_o love_n be_v inexpressible_o glorious_a in_o give_v thy_o

end_n to_o seek_v serious_o these_o full_a joy_n and_o eternal_a pleasure_n of_o heaven_n we_o will_v all_o willing_o i_o make_v no_o question_n have_v such_o contentment_n and_o full_a joy_n as_o may_v last_v for_o ever_o but_o be_v we_o in_o good_a earnest_n let_v we_o seek_v they_o where_o they_o may_v be_v find_v you_o have_v hear_v already_o and_o your_o own_o experience_n sufficient_o witness_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o the_o joy_n and_o pleasure_n of_o this_o world_n do_v all_o come_v far_o short_a of_o this_o contentment_n where_o then_o must_v we_o seek_v they_o but_o in_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o father_n where_o only_o true_a transport_v and_o everlasting_a joy_n be_v to_o be_v find_v it_o be_v true_a indeed_o god_n have_v be_v please_v to_o put_v a_o touch_n of_o delight_n and_o pleasure_n into_o these_o inferior_a thing_n the_o better_a to_o quicken_v the_o spirit_n of_o man_n for_o the_o necessary_a action_n of_o this_o life_n and_o christian_a piety_n allow_v we_o the_o use_n of_o they_o if_o we_o will_v but_o keep_v her_o rule_n and_o measure_n in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o they_o and_o thus_o if_o god_n see_v it_o so_o fit_a i_o can_v wish_v you_o your_o part_n
