eternal_a life_n and_o because_o they_o may_v appear_v more_o plain_o to_o they_o we_o shall_v consider_v what_o those_o thing_n be_v which_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n most_o affect_v in_o this_o life_n and_o by_o those_o as_o far_o as_o we_o may_v we_o shall_v make_v it_o evident_a that_o they_o shall_v enjoy_v they_o after_o a_o more_o excellent_a manner_n in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v if_o be_v place_v here_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o danger_n and_o worldly_a temptation_n they_o stick_v fast_o to_o the_o precept_n of_o christ_n and_o when_o they_o have_v keep_v they_o they_o will_v of_o

yet_o do_v they_o not_o therefore_o despise_v they_o because_o that_o natural_o they_o affect_v they_o not_o but_o because_o they_o will_v not_o offend_v god_n in_o they_o for_o if_o they_o certain_o

i_o believe_v it_o ought_v not_o to_o seem_v incredible_a to_o any_o that_o the_o righteous_a in_o that_o life_n which_o be_v to_o come_v when_o this_o mortality_n shall_v be_v swallow_v up_o of_o life_n shall_v shine_v as_o bright_a as_o the_o sun_n see_v they_o be_v true_o call_v and_o true_o be_v the_o temple_n and_o the_o seat_n of_o god_n himself_o which_o as_o i_o remember_v be_v no_o where_o in_o sacred_a scripture_n speak_v of_o this_o visible_a sun_n as_o for_o activity_n which_o be_v every_o way_n as_o desirable_a as_o beauty_n we_o shall_v be_v endue_v with_o such_o a_o

from_o the_o earth_n again_o into_o heaven_n which_o swiftness_n if_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o prove_v it_o so_o in_o the_o angel_n we_o may_v for_o instance_n produce_v that_o place_n of_o scripture_n where_o it_o be_v write_v that_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n take_v habakkuk_n the_o prophet_n by_o the_o hair_n of_o the_o head_n and_o carry_v he_o through_o the_o vehemency_n of_o
