o_o bless_a saviour_n i_o know_v not_o whether_o more_o to_o grieve_v for_o thy_o descend_v into_o hell_n or_o more_o to_o joy_n for_o thy_o ascend_v up_o to_o heaven_n yet_o i_o must_v confess_v

indeed_o the_o fire_n of_o his_o chariot_n be_v perhaps_o the_o ardour_n and_o burn_a love_n of_o seraphin_n which_o like_o the_o fire_n that_o appear_v in_o the_o bush_n to_o moses_n though_o it_o

in_o a_o fiery_a chariot_n as_o elias_n do_v but_o though_o elias_n go_v up_o into_o heaven_n yet_o it_o can_v proper_o be_v say_v that_o he_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n for_o he_o be_v take_v up_o in_o

that_o as_o our_o body_n shall_v rise_v though_o in_o their_o old_a substance_n yet_o endue_v with_o new_a quality_n so_o heaven_n and_o earth_n where_o they_o be_v to_o abide_v shall_v suffer_v the_o

not_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a till_o he_o have_v first_o descend_v into_o hell_n so_o the_o best_a mean_n to_o rise_v from_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n be_v to_o descend_v into_o the_o hell_n and_o
