of_o it_o that_o we_o be_v perpetual_o ascend_v and_o climb_v up_o high_o still_o advance_v from_o one_o degree_n of_o goodness_n to_o another_o and_o continual_o aspire_v after_o a_o near_a resemblance_n to_o god_n and_o this_o certain_o be_v possible_a to_o we_o to_o endeavour_v to_o be_v as_o like_o god_n as_o we_o can_v in_o this_o weak_a and_o imperfect_a state_n whereas_o any_o equality_n with_o god_n even_o in_o the_o communicable_a attribute_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n and_o patience_n be_v not_o only_o impossible_a to_o we_o in_o this_o state_n of_o sin_n and_o imperfection_n but_o above_o the_o condition_n of_o a_o creature_n even_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o just_a man_n make_v perfect_a and_o of_o the_o high_a angel_n in_o glory_n for_o their_o perfection_n be_v not_o absolute_a but_o in_o comparison_n with_o our_o present_a state_n and_o i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o great_a reason_n to_o doubt_v but_o that_o the_o bless_a spirit_n above_o who_o continual_o behold_v the_o face_n of_o their_o father_n be_v still_o write_v after_o this_o copy_n which_o be_v here_o propound_v to_o we_o and_o endeavour_v to_o be_v perfect_a as_o their_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n be_v perfect_a still_o aspire_v after_o a_o near_o and_o more_o perfect_a resemblance_n of_o god_n who_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n be_v so_o far_o beyond_o and_o before_o that_o of_o any_o creature_n that_o they_o may_v be_v for_o ever_o approach_v near_o to_o it_o and_o yet_o never_o overtake_v it_o and_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v no_o inconsiderable_a ingredient_n and_o enhancement_n of_o the_o happiness_n of_o heaven_n that_o the_o holiness_n of_o good_a man_n which_o be_v the_o similitude_n of_o god_n be_v never_o at_o a_o stand_n nor_o at_o its_o full_a growth_n and_o period_n but_o that_o the_o glorify_a saint_n yea_o and_o bless_v angel_n too_o may_v be_v continual_o grow_v and_o improve_n and_o they_o themselves_o still_o become_v better_o and_o happy_a to_o all_o eternity_n and_o this_o in_o my_o apprehension_n be_v no_o undervalue_v the_o happiness_n of_o heaven_n that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o perfect_a at_o first_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v afterward_o because_o it_o be_v grant_v on_o all_o hand_n that_o the_o happiness_n of_o those_o good_a soul_n who_o be_v already_o in_o bliss_n shall_v be_v more_o perfect_a and_o complete_a at_o the_o resurrection_n and_o why_o may_v it_o not_o then_o be_v continual_o increase_v and_o be_v augment_v still_o more_o and_o more_o without_o any_o stint_n or_o final_a period_n of_o its_o perfection_n in_o this_o world_n we_o be_v apt_a to_o faint_v in_o a_o long_a course_n of_o goodness_n and_o to_o be_v weary_a of_o well_o do_v but_o in_o the_o other_o state_n when_o man_n shall_v be_v strong_o bias_v to_o goodness_n and_o have_v nothing_o to_o pull_v they_o back_o it_o will_v then_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o trouble_n that_o methinks_v it_o shall_v be_v a_o mighty_a pleasure_n to_o the_o bless_a to_o find_v that_o there_o be_v no_o end_n of_o their_o do_v good_a and_o become_a better_a for_o if_o conformity_n to_o god_n be_v the_o ground_n and_o foundation_n of_o all_o happiness_n than_o our_o blessedness_n will_v advance_v proportionable_o as_o we_o grow_v more_o and_o more_o like_a to_o he_o this_o i_o confess_v be_v a_o dismal_a consideration_n to_o think_v that_o in_o heaven_n we_o shall_v be_v liable_a to_o relapse_n to_o go_v backward_o or_o fall_v from_o that_o holy_a and_o happy_a state_n but_o this_o be_v a_o comfortable_a consideration_n that_o our_o holiness_n and_o happiness_n shall_v never_o be_v at_o a_o stand_n that_o it_o be_v secure_a so_o far_o as_o it_o go_v and_o that_o we_o can_v lose_v what_o we_o have_v once_o attain_v as_o we_o may_v do_v in_o this_o world_n this_o methinks_v shall_v be_v a_o trouble_n to_o no_o man_n that_o as_o good_a and_o happy_a as_o he_o be_v at_o first_o he_o shall_v still_o be_v better_a and_o better_o more_o and_o more_o happy_a without_o end_n but_o be_v that_o as_o it_o will_v and_o as_o god_n please_v for_o we_o do_v but_o talk_v in_o the_o dark_a about_o our_o future_a state_n this_o be_v certain_a that_o a_o equality_n with_o god_n in_o any_o of_o his_o perfection_n be_v not_o to_o be_v attain_v by_o any_o creature_n and_o therefore_o can_v be_v think_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o precept_n but_o that_o which_o our_o saviour_n require_v be_v a_o vigorous_a imitation_n of_o this_o pattern_n that_o we_o have_v this_o example_n of_o the_o divine_a perfection_n always_o

if_o this_o be_v our_o sincere_a care_n and_o study_v we_o need_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o it_o will_v find_v acceptance_n with_o god_n and_o that_o he_o will_v be_v gracious_o please_v to_o
