in_o a_o instant_n as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v may_o ancient_a crony_n and_o acquaintance_n but_o why_o shall_v i_o grieve_v at_o part_v with_o my_o friend_n below_o when_o i_o shall_v go_v to_o the_o best_a friend_n i_o have_v in_o all_o the_o world_n to_o god_n my_o father_n to_o jesus_n my_o redeemer_n to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n my_o constant_a comforter_n and_o assistant_n and_o what_o though_o that_o state_n and_o the_o law_n and_o custom_n of_o it_o be_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n unknown_a to_o i_o yet_o what_o i_o know_v be_v infinite_o desirable_a from_o whence_o i_o may_v reasonable_o infer_v that_o what_o i_o know_v not_o be_v so_o too_o and_o if_o i_o have_v but_o the_o temper_n of_o heaven_n i_o be_o sure_a i_o shall_v easy_o comply_v with_o the_o heavenly_a law_n and_o custom_n of_o it_o so_o that_o in_o the_o whole_a i_o can_v imagine_v why_o any_o good_a man_n that_o serious_o believe_v the_o doctrine_n of_o a_o bless_a immortality_n and_o have_v a_o just_a wellgrounded_n hope_v of_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o it_o when_o he_o die_v shall_v be_v so_o loath_a to_o leave_v this_o wretched_a world_n i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o the_o circumstance_n of_o our_o affair_n in_o this_o life_n be_v many_o time_n such_o as_o may_v just_o excuse_v even_o a_o good_a man_n unwillingness_n to_o die_v some_o great_a opportunity_n of_o do_v good_a may_v present_v themselves_o and_o invite_v he_o to_o stay_v a_o little_a long_o or_o his_o have_v begin_v his_o repentance_n late_o or_o not_o have_v make_v a_o competent_a provision_n for_o his_o family_n may_v for_o awhile_o justify_v his_o unwillingness_n to_o depart_v but_o unless_o it_o be_v in_o these_o except_a cafe_n i_o can_v hardly_o reconcile_v our_o hope_n of_o happiness_n with_o our_o fear_n of_o death_n for_o when_o i_o be_o very_o persuade_v that_o death_n be_v only_o a_o narrow_a stream_n run_v between_o time_n and_o eternity_n and_o i_o see_v my_o god_n and_o my_o saviour_n with_o crown_n of_o glory_n in_o their_o hand_n beckon_v to_o i_o from_o the_o far_a shore_n call_v to_o i_o to_o come_v over_o and_o receive_v those_o happy_a recompense_n of_o my_o industry_n and_o labour_n that_o i_o like_v a_o naked_a timorous_a boy_n shall_v stand_v shiver_v on_o this_o bank_n of_o time_n as_o if_o i_o be_v afraid_a to_o dip_v my_o foot_n in_o the_o cold_a stream_n of_o fate_n which_o as_o soon_o as_o i_o be_o in_o i_o be_o past_a and_o in_o the_o twinkle_n of_o a_o eye_n will_v land_v i_o on_o eternal_a bliss_n be_v such_o a_o extravagant_a inconsistency_n as_o if_o i_o do_v not_o feel_v it_o in_o i_o i_o shall_v never_o believe_v i_o can_v be_v guilty_a of_o 4._o four_o and_o last_o hence_o i_o infer_v what_o unspeakable_a encouragement_n we_o have_v to_o endeavour_v after_o that_o universal_a righteousness_n which_o entitle_v we_o to_o this_o bless_a state_n of_o eternal_a life_n since_o god_n have_v propose_v such_o a_o vast_a reward_n to_o encourage_v and_o animate_v our_o industry_n how_o can_v we_o account_v any_o work_n hard_a of_o which_o heaven_n be_v the_o wage_n how_o can_v we_o faint_v in_o our_o christian_a race_n when_o we_o see_v the_o crown_n of_o glory_n hang_v over_o the_o goal_n methinks_v this_o shall_v be_v enough_o to_o infuse_v life_n and_o spirit_n into_o the_o most_o crest-fal'n_a soul_n to_o make_v cripple_n run_v and_o convert_v the_o most_o sneak_a coward_n into_o a_o bold_a and_o magnanimous_a hero_n for_o how_o much_o pain_n do_v we_o ordinary_o take_v upon_o far_o less_o hope_n in_o hope_v of_o a_o little_a transitory_a wealth_n which_o we_o know_v we_o shall_v enjoy_v but_o a_o few_o year_n and_o then_o part_v with_o for_o ever_o we_o thrust_v ourselves_o into_o a_o perpetual_a crowd_n and_o tumult_n of_o business_n where_o with_o vast_a concern_v and_o thoughtfulness_n with_o eager_a and_o passionate_a prosecution_n with_o endless_a brawl_n and_o contention_n with_o restless_a justling_n and_o rancountr_v one_o
