if_o this_o do_v not_o stop_v our_o mouth_n and_o silence_v our_o complaint_n for_o ever_o nay_o if_o it_o do_v not_o cause_v we_o to_o rejoice_v in_o our_o tribulation_n and_o to_o thank_v god_n for_o they_o on_o our_o bend_a knee_n if_o it_o do_v not_o make_v we_o cheerful_o submit_v and_o cry_v out_o with_o that_o resign_v soul_n vre_n seca_fw-la vulnera_fw-la lord_n burn_v or_o cut_v or_o wound_v i_o as_o thou_o please_v strip_v i_o of_o all_o my_o dear_a comfort_n handle_v i_o as_o severe_o as_o thou_o will_v so_o i_o may_v have_v but_o my_o fruit_n unto_o holiness_n and_o my_o end_n everlasting_a life_n if_o i_o say_v we_o can_v complain_v of_o our_o present_a affliction_n while_o we_o thus_o compare_v they_o with_o our_o future_a reward_n we_o be_v infinite_o foolish_a and_o ungrateful_a but_o then_o 2._o hence_o also_o i_o infer_v what_o a_o vast_a deal_n of_o reason_n we_o have_v to_o slight_v and_o contemn_v this_o world_n for_o we_o be_v bear_v to_o infinite_o great_a hope_n than_o any_o this_o world_n can_v propose_v to_o we_o even_o to_o the_o hope_n of_o a_o abide_a city_n where_o our_o happiness_n shall_v be_v no_o long_o the_o sport_n and_o dalliance_n of_o every_o puff_n of_o wind_n the_o ball_n of_o every_o accident_n and_o contingency_n but_o remain_v for_o ever_o safe_a and_o inviolable_a as_o the_o happiness_n of_o god_n himself_o and_o it_o be_v thus_o methinks_v our_o ambition_n shall_v sore_o as_o high_a as_o our_o hope_n and_o disdain_v such_o low_a and_o ignoble_a quarry_n as_o the_o pleasure_n and_o profit_n and_o honour_n of_o this_o life_n sure_o sir_n we_o mistake_v the_o scene_n of_o our_o immortality_n we_o fancy_v that_o our_o abide_a city_n have_v shift_v its_o situation_n and_o be_v come_v down_o from_o heaven_n to_o fix_v its_o foundation_n here_o below_o otherwise_o we_o be_v most_o strange_o besot_v who_o be_v bear_v to_o live_v for_o ever_o above_o in_o everlasting_a glory_n and_o delight_n can_v suffer_v ourselves_o to_o dote_v as_o we_o do_v upon_o the_o transitory_a vanity_n of_o this_o life_n o_o can_v we_o stand_v a_o while_n in_o the_o midway_n between_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o at_o one_o prospect_n see_v the_o glory_n of_o both_o how_o faint_a and_o dim_a will_v all_o the_o glory_n of_o this_o world_n appear_v to_o we_o in_o comparison_n with_o those_o above_o how_o will_v they_o sneak_v and_o disappear_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o that_o eternal_a brightness_n how_o will_v they_o be_v force_v to_o shroud_v their_o vanquish_a glory_n as_o star_n do_v when_o the_o sun_n appear_v whilst_o we_o interchangeable_o turn_v our_o eye_n from_o one_o to_o the_o other_o with_o what_o shame_n and_o confusion_n shall_v we_o reflect_v upon_o the_o wretched_a grovel_a temper_n of_o our_o mind_n what_o poor_a mean-spirited_n creature_n we_o be_v to_o satisfy_v ourselves_o with_o the_o impertinent_a trifle_n of_o this_o world_n when_o we_o have_v all_o the_o joy_n of_o a_o everlasting_a heaven_n before_o we_o and_o may_v if_o we_o please_v after_o a_o few_o moment_n of_o obedience_n be_v possess_v of_o they_o for_o ever_o ah_o foolish_a creature_n that_o we_o be_v thus_o to_o prefer_v a_o far_a country_n where_o we_o live_v on_o nothing_o but_o husk_n before_o the_o everlasting_a festivity_n of_o our_o father_n house_n and_o bosom_n thus_o foolish_o to_o choose_v nebuchadnezzar_n fate_n and_o leave_v crown_n and_o sceptre_n to_o live_v among_o the_o savage_a herd_n of_o the_o wilderness_n can_v but_o the_o bless_a saint_n above_o divert_v so_o much_o from_o their_o more_o happy_a employment_n as_o to_o look_v down_o a_o little_a from_o their_o throne_n of_o glory_n and_o see_v how_o busy_a poor_a mortal_n be_v a_o scramble_n for_o this_o wretched_a pelf_n which_o within_o a_o few_o month_n they_o must_v leave_v for_o ever_o how_o they_o justle_v and_o run_v counter_a defeat_n defraud_n and_o undermine_v one_o another_o what_o a_o most_o ridiculous_a spectacle_n will_v it_o appear_v to_o they_o with_o what_o scorn_n will_v they_o look_v on_o it_o or_o rather_o with_o what_o pity_n to_o see_v a_o company_n of_o heavenborn_a soul_n that_o be_v capable_a of_o and_o design_v for_o the_o same_o glory_n and_o happiness_n with_o themselves_o thus_o miserable_o busy_v and_o employ_v one_o pride_v itself_o in_o a_o gay_a suit_n another_o hug_v a_o bag_n of_o glister_a earth_n and_o a_o three_o stew_a in_o luxury_n and_o voluptuousness_n and_o all_o employ_v at_o that_o sordid_a rate_n as_o if_o they_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o heaven_n to_o tell_v you_o true_o and_o serious_o my_o thought_n i_o can_v imagine_v but_o if_o when_o we_o be_v thus_o extravagant_o concern_v about_o the_o pitiful_a trifle_n of_o this_o world_n those_o bless_a spirit_n do_v see_v and_o converse_v with_o we_o it_o be_v a_o much_o more_o ludicrous_a sight_n in_o their_o eye_n than_o it_o will_v be_v in_o we_o to_o see_v a_o company_n of_o boy_n with_o mighty_a zeal_n and_o concern_v wrangle_v for_o a_o bag_n of_o cherry-stone_n wherefore_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n sir_n let_v we_o not_o expose_v ourselves_o any_o long_o to_o the_o just_a derision_n of_o all_o the_o world_n by_o our_o excessive_a dotage_n upon_o the_o vanity_n of_o this_o life_n but_o let_v we_o serious_o consider_v that_o we_o be_v all_o concern_v in_o matter_n of_o much_o high_a importance_n even_o in_o the_o joy_n and_o fruition_n of_o that_o abide_a city_n which_o be_v to_o come_v 3._o hence_o also_o i_o infer_v how_o unreasonable_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v for_o good_a man_n to_o be_v afraid_a of_o die_v since_o on_o the_o other_o side_n of_o their_o grave_n there_o be_v a_o abide_a city_n ready_a to_o receive_v and_o entertain_v they_o so_o that_o to_o they_o death_n be_v but_o a_o dark_a entry_n out_o of_o a_o wilderness_n of_o sorrow_n into_o a_o paradise_n of_o eternal_a pleasure_n and_o therefore_o if_o it_o be_v a_o unreasonable_a thing_n for_o sick_a man_n to_o dread_v their_o recovery_n for_o slave_n to_o tremble_v at_o their_o jubilee_n for_o prisoner_n to_o quake_v at_o the_o news_n of_o a_o gaol-delivery_n how_o much_o more_o unreasonable_a be_v it_o for_o good_a man_n to_o be_v afraid_a of_o death_n which_o be_v but_o a_o momentany_a passage_n from_o sickness_n labour_n and_o confinement_n to_o eternal_a health_n and_o rest_v and_o liberty_n it_o be_v true_a the_o passage_n from_o one_o to_o the_o other_o be_v common_o very_o painful_a and_o grievous_a but_o what_o of_o that_o in_o other_o case_n we_o be_v willing_a enough_o to_o endure_v a_o present_a pain_n in_o order_n to_o a_o future_a ease_n and_o if_o a_o few_o mortal_a pang_n will_v work_v a_o perfect_a cure_n on_o i_o and_o recover_v i_o to_o everlasting_a health_n methinks_v the_o hope_n of_o this_o bless_a effect_n shall_v sweeten_v and_o endear_v that_o agony_n but_o alas_o to_o die_v be_v to_o leave_v all_o our_o acquaintance_n to_o bid_v adieu_o to_o our_o dear_a friend_n and_o relative_n and_o to_o pass_v into_o a_o unknown_a state_n where_o we_o be_v to_o converse_v with_o stranger_n who_o law_n and_o custom_n we_o be_v unacquainted_a with_o why_o now_o all_o that_o look_v sad_a in_o this_o be_v a_o very_a great_a mistake_n for_o i_o very_o hope_v i_o have_v more_o friend_n acquaintance_n and_o relation_n in_o heaven_n than_o i_o shall_v leave_v behind_o i_o here_o on_o earth_n and_o if_o so_o i_o do_v but_o go_v from_o worse_a friend_n to_o better_a for_o one_o friend_n there_o be_v worth_a a_o thousand_o here_o in_o respect_n of_o all_o those_o indear_v accomplishment_n which_o render_v a_o friend_n a_o jewel_n but_o if_o i_o die_v a_o good_a man_n i_o shall_v carry_v into_o eternity_n with_o i_o the_o genius_n and_o temper_n of_o a_o glorify_a spirit_n and_o that_o will_v recommend_v i_o to_o all_o the_o society_n of_o heaven_n and_o render_v the_o spirit_n of_o those_o just_a man_n who_o name_n i_o never_o hear_v of_o as_o dear_a and_o familiar_a friend_n to_o i_o in_o a_o instant_n as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v my_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
