such_o as_o be_v more_o curious_a then_o needful_a to_o be_v know_v nevertheless_o a_o reply_n seem_v to_o bring_v with_o it_o some_o kind_n of_o comfort_n and_o satisfaction_n i_o shall_v judge_v that_o this_o treatise_n shall_v not_o be_v perfect_a if_o i_o do_v not_o say_v something_o to_o this_o matter_n but_o what_o i_o shall_v say_v shall_v be_v with_o the_o same_o moderation_n and_o

other_o may_v have_v different_a thought_n without_o any_o prejudice_n to_o their_o salvation_n however_o i_o may_v establish_v for_o a_o infallible_a truth_n that_o the_o glory_n of_o heaven_n as_o well_o as_o grace_n shall_v bring_v nature_n to_o perfection_n but_o shall_v not_o destroy_v it_o it_o shall_v add_v to_o it_o other_o excellency_n but_o shall_v not_o take_v away_o those_o that_o it_o have_v already_o it_o shall_v not_o abolish_v any_o of_o the_o faculty_n but_o it_o shall_v beautify_v and_o enrich_v they_o with_o new_a ornament_n therefore_o by_o consequence_n it_o shall_v not_o take_v away_o our_o memory_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o rare_a gift_n and_o ability_n of_o the_o reasonable_a soul_n i_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o former_a thing_n shall_v be_v remember_v no_o more_o and_o that_o they_o shall_v come_v no_o more_o into_o our_o mind_n but_o this_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o evil_n and_o calamity_n of_o this_o present_a life_n and_o we_o be_v not_o to_o understand_v the_o word_n so_o that_o to_o speak_v plain_o we_o shall_v total_o forget_v all_o the_o former_a evil_n and_o misery_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o remember_v to_o have_v undergo_v they_o st._n john_n say_v the_o contrary_a when_o he_o represent_v the_o angel_n open_v the_o five_o seal_n that_o he_o see_v under_o the_o golden_a altar_n which_o be_v before_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n the_o soul_n of_o they_o who_o have_v be_v martyr_a for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o for_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o truth_n cry_v out_o with_o a_o loud_a voice_n how_o long_o o_o lord_n holy_a and_o true_a do_v thou_o not_o judge_v and_o revenge_v our_o blood_n upon_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o earth_n it_o be_v true_a these_o word_n may_v be_v understand_v in_o a_o figurative_a sense_n as_o when_o god_n say_v unto_o cain_n the_o voice_n of_o thy_o brother_n bloodcry_n from_o the_o earth_n unto_o i_o and_o as_o st._n paul_n say_v that_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n speak_v better_a thing_n than_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n however_o from_o hence_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o the_o remembrance_n of_o all_o the_o misery_n and_o evil_n which_o we_o have_v endure_v in_o this_o life_n be_v not_o repugnant_a to_o our_o future_a estate_n of_o glory_n this_o remembrance_n be_v so_o far_o from_o prejudice_v our_o felicity_n that_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o shall_v increase_v and_o enlarge_v it_o so_o that_o it_o shall_v cause_v it_o to_o appear_v sweet_a and_o more_o pleasant_a when_o the_o prophet_n say_v that_o the_o

shall_v be_v for_o ever_o shelter_v from_o all_o misery_n and_o misfortune_n i_o can_v express_v this_o by_o a_o noble_a and_o more_o proper_a example_n then_o that_o of_o joseph_n when_o he_o go_v out_o of_o prison_n to_o take_v into_o his_o hand_n the_o government_n of_o egypt_n and_o that_o he_o have_v strengthen_v himself_o by_o a_o rich_a alliance_n in_o marriage_n he_o name_v his_o elder_a

to_o understand_v these_o word_n the_o former_a thing_n shall_v be_v remember_v no_o more_o because_o instead_o of_o the_o evil_n and_o misery_n which_o we_o endure_v here_o below_o we_o shall_v
