that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n which_o be_v a_o kingdom_n of_o all_o joy_n peace_n riches_n power_n and_o pleasure_n be_v at_o hand_n to_o all_o such_o as_o do_v so_o that_o be_v as_o do_v repent_v so_o that_o the_o meaning_n hereof_o be_v as_o though_o our_o saviour_n may_v thus_o speak_v present_o sir_n for_o that_o i_o see_v you_o all_o walk_v the_o wrong_a way_n even_o to_o satan_n and_o unto_o hell_n fire_n by_o follow_v the_o kingdom_n of_o satan_n which_o now_o be_v colour_v under_o the_o vain_a pleasure_n of_o this_o life_n and_o foolishness_n of_o the_o flesh_n most_o subtle_o to_o your_o utter_a undo_n and_o destruction_n behold_v and_o mark_v well_o what_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n that_o be_v a_o other_o manner_n of_o joy_n and_o felicity_n honour_n and_o riches_n power_n and_o pleasure_n than_o you_o now_o perceive_v or_o enjoy_v be_v even_o at_o hand_n and_o at_o your_o back_n and_o if_o you_o will_v turn_v again_o that_o be_v repent_v you_o you_o shall_v most_o true_o and_o pleasant_o feel_v see_v and_o inherit_v turn_v again_o therefore_o i_o say_v that_o be_v repent_v for_o this_o joy_n i_o speak_v of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v at_o hand_n 1._o here_o we_o may_v note_v first_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n in_o that_o to_o this_o commandment_n repent_v you_o he_o add_v a_o cause_n for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v at_o hand_n for_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o corruption_n and_o sturdiness_n of_o our_o nature_n god_n unto_o all_o his_o commandment_n common_o either_o add_v some_o promise_n to_o provoke_v we_o to_o obedience_n or_o else_o some_o such_o sufficient_a cause_n as_o can_v but_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o hearty_o labour_v for_o the_o do_n of_o the_o same_o as_o here_o to_o the_o commandment_n of_o act_v repentance_n he_o add_v this_o aetiologe_n or_o cause_n for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v at_o hand_n 2._o again_o in_o that_o he_o join_v the_o commandment_n as_o a_o reason_n say_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v at_o hand_n we_o may_v learn_v that_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n none_o to_o who_o the_o ministry_n of_o preach_v do_v appertain_v can_v be_v partaker_n but_o such_o as_o repent_v and_o do_v amend_v therefore_o dear_o belove_v if_o you_o regard_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n in_o that_o you_o can_v enter_v therein_o except_o you_o repent_v i_o beseech_v you_o all_o of_o every_o estate_n as_o you_o desire_v your_o own_o peace_n of_o conscience_n to_o repent_v and_o amend_v the_o which_o thing_n that_o
