below_o but_o these_o thing_n come_v infinite_o short_a of_o that_o which_o they_o represent_v at_o other_o time_n we_o find_v our_o future_a happiness_n otherwise_o express_v by_o be_v with_o the_o

we_o be_v able_a in_o this_o state_n full_o to_o comprehend_v they_o imply_v the_o great_a perfection_n that_o our_o nature_n be_v capable_a of_o and_o that_o our_o imperfection_n shall_v be_v quite_o

therefore_o heaven_n be_v represent_v to_o we_o in_o term_n that_o speak_v the_o great_a and_o most_o rational_a satisfaction_n but_o then_o still_o we_o live_v in_o house_n of_o clay_n we_o be_v

unto_o god_n let_v we_o stay_v a_o while_n upon_o this_o consideration_n and_o meditate_v upon_o the_o unheard-of_a love_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n and_o we_o shall_v soon_o see_v great_a cause_n
