of_o his_o life_n this_o man_n i_o say_v be_v prepare_v and_o make_v fit_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o heavenly_a jerusalem_n come_v death_n when_o it_o will_v he_o be_v ready_a and_o howsoever_o he_o

thereof_o the_o lord_n jesus_n will_v open_v the_o gate_n and_o receive_v he_o into_o his_o kingdom_n for_o he_o be_v already_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n be_v prepare_v also_o one_o

to_o prepare_v himself_o that_o when_o god_n shall_v call_v he_o hence_o he_o may_v be_v fit_n to_o enter_v into_o that_o glory_n second_o see_v god_n have_v prepare_v the_o third_o heaven_n for_o we_o it_o teach_v every_o man_n in_o this_o world_n to_o be_v content_a with_o the_o estate_n wherein_o god_n have_v place_v he_o whether_o it_o be_v high_a or_o low_o rich_a or_o poor_a why_o so_o because_o here_o he_o be_v but_o a_o pilgrim_n and_o life_n in_o a_o cottage_n of_o clay_n and_o in_o a_o tent_n wherein_o he_o must_v abide_v but_o a_o while_n as_o a_o pilgrim_n do_v oftentimes_o carry_v his_o house_n about_o with_o he_o and_o we_o shall_v in_o better_a sort_n accept_v the_o affliction_n which_o god_n send_v we_o in_o this_o life_n if_o we_o remember_v that_o there_o be_v prepare_v for_o we_o a_o place_n of_o joy_n which_o must_v be_v our_o rest_a place_n and_o perfect_a felicity_n for_o evermore_o this_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n especial_o of_o abraham_n for_o when_o the_o lord_n call_v he_o out_o of_o his_o own_o country_n he_o obey_v and_o by_o faith_n abode_n in_o the_o promise_a land_n 10._o as_o in_o a_o strange_a country_n as_o one_o that_o dwell_v in_o tent_n with_o isaac_n and_o jaakob_n heir_n with_o he_o in_o the_o same_o promise_n and_o the_o reason_n follow_v for_o he_o look_v for_o a_o city_n have_v a_o foundation_n who_o builder_n and_o maker_n be_v god_n they_o believe_v that_o these_o thing_n which_o the_o lord_n promise_v be_v shadow_n of_o better_a thing_n and_o hereon_o stay_v themselves_o be_v well_o content_a with_o that_o estate_n whereto_o god_n have_v call_v they_o so_o paul_n be_v content_v to_o bear_v the_o affliction_n which_o god_n have_v lay_v upon_o he_o and_o his_o reason_n be_v 1.2_o because_o say_v he_o we_o look_v not_o on_o thing_n which_o be_v see_v but_o on_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o see_v for_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v see_v be_v temporal_a but_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o see_v be_v eternal_a and_o in_o the_o next_o chapter_n we_o know_v say_v he_o that_o if_o our_o earthly_a house_n of_o this_o tabernacle_n be_v destroy_v we_o have_v a_o dwell_v give_v we_o of_o god_n that_o be_v a_o house_n not_o make_v with_o hand_n but_o eternal_a in_o the_o heaven_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n his_o desire_n be_v rather_o to_o remove_v out_o of_o this_o body_n and_o to_o be_v with_o the_o lord_n and_o thus_o much_o concern_v heaven_n now_o follow_v the_o second_o part_n of_o god_n creation_n in_o these_o word_n and_o earth_n earth_n signify_v the_o huge_a mass_n

two_o good_a angel_n and_o men._n i._o that_o angel_n have_v a_o beginning_n it_o be_v no_o question_n for_o paul_n say_v 1â—_n that_o by_o god_n all_o thing_n be_v create_v in_o heaven_n and_o

time_n &_o day_n of_o their_o creation_n can_v not_o be_v set_v down_o further_o than_o this_o that_o they_o be_v create_v in_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o six_o day_n for_o moses_n say_v thus_o namely_o in_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o first_o six_o day_n the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n be_v fashion_v and_o all_o the_o host_n of_o they_o that_o be_v all_o variety_n of_o creature_n in_o

that_o they_o be_v nothing_o but_o quality_n &_o motion_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n as_o the_o sadducee_n and_o the_o libertine_n of_o this_o time_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o they_o be_v spirit_n that_o be_v spiritual_a and_o invisible_a substance_n create_v by_o god_n and_o real_o subsist_v for_o the_o scripture_n ascribe_v unto_o they_o such_o kind_n of_o action_n which_o can_v not_o be_v perform_v by_o the_o creature_n save_v only_o such_o as_o be_v substance_n as_o to_o stand_v before_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n to_o behold_v the_o face_n of_o the_o father_n to_o carry_v man_n soul_n to_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n yet_o must_v we_o not_o imagine_v that_o they_o be_v bodily_a substance_n consist_v of_o flesh_n and_o bone_n and_o though_o they_o take_v upon_o they_o visible_a shape_n &_o form_n &_o do_v eat_v and_o drink_v in_o the_o company_n of_o man_n 24.4_o &_o thereupon_o be_v call_v man_n in_o scripture_n yet_o they_o do_v this_o by_o divine_a

which_o they_o assume_v be_v no_o part_n of_o their_o nature_n unite_v to_o they_o as_o our_o body_n be_v to_o we_o but_o rather_o they_o be_v as_o garment_n be_v to_o we_o which_o they_o may_v put_v off_o &_o on_o at_o their_o pleasure_n if_o any_o shall_v ask_v whence_o they_o have_v these_o body_n the_o answer_n be_v that_o either_o they_o be_v create_v of_o nothing_o by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n or_o frame_v of_o some_o other_o matter_n subsist_v before_o if_o again_o it_o be_v ask_v what_o become_v of_o these_o body_n when_o they_o lay_v they_o down_o because_o they_o use_v they_o but_o for_o a_o time_n the_o answer_n may_v be_v that_o if_o they_o be_v make_v of_o nothing_o they_o be_v again_o resolve_v into_o nothing_o if_o make_v of_o other_o creature_n that_o then_o they_o be_v resolve_v into_o the_o same_o body_n of_o which_o they_o be_v first_o make_v though_o indeed_o we_o can_v define_v nothing_o certain_o in_o this_o point_n iii_o angel_n be_v reasonable_a creature_n of_o excellent_a knowledge_n and_o understanding_n far_o surpass_v all_o man_n save_o christ._n their_o knowledge_n be_v threefold_a natural_a reveal_v experimental_a natural_a which_o they_o receive_v from_o god_n in_o the_o creation_n reveal_v which_o god_n make_v manifest_a to_o they_o in_o process_n of_o time_n whereas_o before_o they_o know_v it_o not_o thus_o god_n reveal_v to_o gabriel_n the_o mystery_n of_o the_o seventie_o week_n dan._n 8._o &_o 9_o and_o in_o the_o apocalyps_n many_o thing_n be_v reveal_v to_o the_o angel_n that_o they_o may_v reveal_v they_o to_o we_o experimental_a knowledge_n be_v that_o which_o they_o get_v by_o observe_v the_o deal_n of_o god_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n but_o special_o in_o the_o church_n 10â—_o and_o thus_o paul_n say_v that_o to_o principality_n and_o power_n in_o heavenly_a place_n be_v the_o manifold_a wisdom_n of_o god_n by_o the_o church_n iu._n and_o as_o the_o knowledge_n 103.20_o so_o also_o the_o power_n of_o the_o good_a angel_n be_v exceed_o great_a they_o be_v able_a to_o do_v more_o than_o all_o man_n can_v therefore_o paul_n call_v they_o mighty_a angel_n 2._o thess._n 1.7_o 3._o yea_o their_o power_n be_v far_o superior_a to_o the_o power_n of_o the_o wicked_a angel_n who_o since_o the_o fall_n be_v under_o they_o and_o can_v prevail_v against_o they_o v._o the_o place_n of_o the_o abode_n of_o angel_n be_v the_o hige_a heaven_n unless_o they_o be_v send_v thence_o by_o the_o lord_n to_o do_v some_o thing_n appoint_v by_o he_o this_o our_o saviour_n

god_n over_o his_o creature_n but_o especial_o over_o man_n in_o that_o the_o lord_n create_v he_o the_o six_o day_n and_o so_o before_o he_o be_v make_v prepare_v for_o he_o a_o paradise_n for_o his_o dwell_n and_o all_o creature_n both_o for_o his_o use_n and_o comfort_n and_o if_o he_o be_v thus_o careful_a for_o we_o when_o we_o be_v not_o than_o no_o doubt_n he_o will_v be_v much_o more_o careful_a for_o we_o at_o this_o present_a in_o which_o we_o live_v and_o have_v be_v nay_o mark_v further_o since_o the_o fall_n man_n eat_v and_o drink_v in_o quantity_n a_o great_a deal_n which_o in_o common_a reason_n shall_v rather_o kill_v he_o then_o turn_v to_o the_o strength_n and_o nourishment_n of_o his_o body_n yet_o herein_o do_v the_o wonderful_a power_n of_o the_o creator_n most_o notable_o appear_v who_o have_v make_v man_n stomach_n as_o a_o limbeck_n or_o still_o to_o digest_v all_o meat_n that_o be_v wholesome_a for_o his_o nourishment_n and_o preservation_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o creation_n now_o in_o these_o word_n maker_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v more_o to_o be_v understand_v then_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n namely_o god_n providence_n in_o govern_v all_o thing_n create_v as_o he_o appoint_v in_o his_o eternal_a decree_n and_o therefore_o saint_n peter_n say_v god_n be_v a_o faithful_a creator_n that_o be_v god_n do_v not_o only_o make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o so_o leave_v they_o as_o mason_n and_o carpenter_n leave_v house_n when_o they_o be_v build_v but_o by_o his_o providence_n do_v most_o wise_o govern_v the_o same_o now_o therefore_o let_v we_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o god_n providence_n and_o first_o of_o all_o the_o question_n offer_v itself_o to_o be_v consider_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o providence_n of_o god_n or_o no_o for_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n be_v trouble_v with_o many_o doubt_n hereof_o and_o to_o make_v the_o question_n out_o of_o all_o doubt_n i_o will_v use_v four_o argument_n to_o confirm_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n the_o first_o be_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o scripture_n which_o ascribe_v the_o event_n of_o all_o particular_a action_n even_o such_o as_o be_v in_o themselves_o casual_a as_o the_o cast_n of_o lot_n and_o such_o like_a to_o the_o disposition_n of_o god_n 16.33_o which_o also_o teach_v that_o even_a man_n themselves_o which_o be_v endue_v with_o reason_n and_o understanding_n have_v need_n to_o be_v guide_v in_o all_o thing_n and_o govern_v by_o god_n 10.23_o and_o blame_v those_o that_o deny_v god_n providence_n why_o say_v thou_o o_o jacob_n and_o speak_v o_o israel_n my_o way_n be_v hide_v from_o the_o lord_n 40.27_o &_o my_o judgement_n be_v pass_v over_o by_o my_o god_n the_o second_o argument_n may_v be_v take_v from_o the_o order_n which_o appear_v in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o nature_n first_o to_o begin_v with_o family_n there_o be_v to_o be_v see_v a_o eutaxy_n or_o seemly_a order_n in_o which_o some_o rule_n &_o some_o obey_v &_o the_o like_a be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o town_n city_n country_n and_o kingdom_n yea_o even_o in_o the_o whole_a world_n in_o which_o all_o thing_n be_v so_o dispose_v that_o one_o serve_v for_o the_o good_a of_o another_o tree_n and_o herb_n and_o grass_n of_o the_o field_n serve_v for_o beast_n and_o cattle_n and_o beast_n and_o cattle_n serve_v for_o man_n the_o heaven_n above_o serve_v for_o they_o which_o be_v beneath_o and_o all_o the_o creature_n which_o be_v above_o and_o beneath_o serve_v for_o god_n this_o argue_v that_o god_n be_v most_o wise_a and_o provident_a in_o order_v and_o dispose_v all_o thing_n whatsoever_o the_o three_o argument_n be_v take_v from_o the_o conscience_n special_o of_o malefactor_n suppose_v a_o man_n that_o commit_v a_o murder_n so_o close_o that_o no_o man_n know_v thereof_o and_o that_o the_o party_n himself_o be_v free_a from_o all_o the_o danger_n of_o law_n yet_o shall_v he_o have_v his_o own_o conscience_n to_o accuse_v upbraid_v and_o condemn_v he_o yea_o even_o to_o fraught_v he_o out_o of_o his_o wit_n and_o to_o give_v he_o no_o more_o rest_n than_o he_o can_v find_v upon_o the_o rack_n or_o gibbet_n now_o this_o accusation_n and_o terror_n of_o conscience_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o forerunner_n of_o a_o other_o most_o terrible_a judgement_n of_o god_n who_o be_v lord_n of_o all_o creature_n and_o judge_n of_o all_o man_n and_o this_o also_o prove_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n for_o if_o the_o conscience_n can_v find_v a_o man_n out_o and_o lay_v his_o fault_n to_o his_o charge_n how_o much_o more_o shall_v god_n himself_o the_o creator_n of_o the_o conscience_n see_v and_o consider_v all_o his_o do_n the_o four_o and_o last_o argument_n be_v this_o the_o prophecy_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v shall_v be_v uncerten_a or_o false_a if_o god_n govern_v not_o the_o world_n but_o now_o consider_v thing_n many_o year_n ago_o foretell_v come_v to_o pass_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o they_o be_v foretell_v by_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n hereby_o we_o must_v certain_o conclude_v that_o there_o be_v a_o providence_n of_o god_n whereby_o all_o &_o every_o thing_n be_v govern_v against_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n sundry_a thing_n be_v allege_v the_o first_o and_o special_a be_v that_o providence_n and_o disorder_n confusion_n and_o order_n can_v not_o stand_v together_o now_o in_o the_o world_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o disorder_n and_o confusion_n in_o sedition_n treason_n conspiracy_n and_o subversion_n of_o kingdom_n where_o also_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n prevail_v answer_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o there_o have_v be_v confusion_n in_o the_o world_n ever_o since_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n and_o it_o arise_v not_o from_o god_n but_o from_o they_o alone_o who_o as_o they_o do_v at_o the_o first_o transgress_v the_o will_n of_o god_n so_o they_o do_v what_o they_o can_v to_o turn_v all_o upside_o down_o now_o then_o confusion_n and_o disorder_n be_v only_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o instrument_n but_o in_o regard_n of_o god_n in_o the_o very_a midst_n of_o all_o confusion_n there_o be_v order_n to_o be_v find_v because_o he_o can_v and_o do_v dispose_v it_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o own_o name_n and_o to_o the_o good_a and_o salvation_n of_o his_o choose_a as_o also_o to_o the_o confusion_n of_o his_o

the_o world_n none_o be_v more_o molest_v and_o more_o under_o outward_a misery_n than_o they_o but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o providence_n of_o god_n than_o it_o shall_v be_v otherwise_o the_o godly_a shall_v flourish_v &_o the_o wicked_a perish_v ans._n the_o consideration_n of_o the_o outward_a estate_n of_o man_n in_o the_o world_n be_v to_o david_n a_o occasion_n of_o a_o sore_a temptation_n for_o when_o he_o see_v the_o wicked_a to_o prosper_v always_o and_o their_o riches_n to_o increase_v he_o break_v forth_o and_o say_v certain_o i_o have_v cleanse_v my_o heart_n in_o vain_a 14._o and_o wash_v my_o hand_n in_o innocence_n now_o if_o we_o will_v repel_v this_o temptation_n as_o david_n afterward_o do_v than_o we_o must_v go_v into_o the_o lord_n sanctuary_n with_o he_o &_o learn_v to_o be_v resolve_v in_o these_o point_n 17._o i._o though_o the_o godly_a be_v lade_v with_o misery_n yet_o even_o that_o by_o the_o especial_a providence_n of_o god_n turn_v to_o their_o

teach_v and_o hold_v that_o a_o man_n must_v come_v to_o speak_v to_o god_n by_o prayer_n through_o the_o intercession_n of_o saint_n for_o say_v they_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n be_v so_o

every_o thing_n be_v do_v second_o that_o god_n can_v do_v more_o than_o he_o will_v to_o be_v do_v it_o be_v plain_a where_o john_n baptist_n say_v 3.9_o god_n be_v able_a of_o these_o stone_n to_o

more_o than_o 12._o legion_n of_o angel_n to_o have_v deliver_v he_o out_o of_o their_o hand_n but_o yet_o he_o will_v not_o and_o the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o many_o other_o thing_n the_o

and_o such_o like_a be_v work_n of_o impotency_n which_o if_o god_n can_v do_v he_o be_v but_o a_o impotent_a god_n second_o he_o can_v not_o do_v that_o which_o imply_v contradiction_n as_o when_o

we_o be_v teach_v true_a humiliation_n humble_v yourselves_o under_o the_o mighty_a hand_n of_o god_n 5.7_o say_v peter_n where_o he_o give_v a_o exhortation_n to_o humility_n &_o allege_v the_o

they_o say_v what_o they_o will_v they_o have_v no_o soundness_n of_o grace_n at_o the_o heart_n and_o thus_o much_o of_o the_o three_o title_n the_o four_o &_o last_o title_n be_v in_o these_o word_n our_o lord_n christ_n jesus_n the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n be_v our_o lord_n three_o way_n 1._o by_o creation_n in_o that_o he_o make_v we_o of_o nothing_o when_o we_o be_v not_o 2._o he_o be_v our_o lord_n in_o the_o â—ight_n of_o redemption_n in_o former_a time_n the_o custom_n have_v be_v that_o when_o one_o be_v take_v prisoner_n in_o the_o field_n he_o that_o pay_v his_o ransom_n shall_v

bondage_n of_o sin_n and_o satan_n and_o therefore_o in_o that_o respect_n he_o be_v our_o lord_n 3._o he_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n as_o the_o husband_n be_v the_o wife_n head_n to_o rule_v and_o govern_v the_o same_o by_o his_o word_n and_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o in_o that_o respect_n also_o christ_n be_v our_o lord_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o meaning_n now_o follow_v the_o duty_n 1._o if_o christ_n be_v our_o sovereign_a lord_n we_o must_v perform_v absolute_a obedience_n unto_o he_o that_o be_v whatsoever_o he_o command_v we_o that_o we_o must_v do_v and_o i_o say_v absolute_a obedience_n because_o magistrate_n master_n ruler_n and_o father_n may_v command_v and_o must_v be_v obey_v yet_o noâ—_n simple_o but_o so_o farfoorth_o as_o that_o which_o they_o command_v do_v agree_v with_o the_o word_n and_o commandment_n of_o god_n but_o christ_n will_n and_o word_n be_v righteousness_n itself_o and_o therefore_o the_o rule_n and_o direction_n of_o all_o our_o action_n whatsoever_o and_o for_o this_o cause_n he_o must_v be_v absolute_o obey_v thus_o he_o require_v the_o obedience_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n but_o why_o because_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n our_o god_n and_o in_o malach._n he_o say_v 1.6_o if_o i_o be_v your_o lord_n where_o be_v my_o fear_n and_o again_o we_o must_v resign_v both_o body_n and_o soul_n heart_n mind_n will_n affection_n and_o the_o course_n of_o our_o whole_a life_n to_o be_v rule_v by_o the_o will_n of_o christ._n he_o be_v lord_n not_o only_o of_o the_o body_n but_o of_o the_o spirit_n and_o soul_n of_o man_n he_o must_v therefore_o have_v homage_n of_o both_o as_o we_o adore_v he_o by_o the_o knee_n of_o the_o body_n so_o must_v the_o thought_n and_o the_o affection_n of_o our_o heart_n have_v their_o knee_n also_o to_o worship_v he_o and_o to_o show_v their_o subjection_n to_o his_o commandment_n as_o for_o such_o as_o do_v hold_v he_o for_o their_o lord_n in_o word_n but_o will_v not_o endeavour_n to_o show_v their_o loyalty_n in_o all_o manner_n of_o obedience_n they_o be_v indeed_o no_o better_o then_o stark_a rebel_n second_o when_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n strange_a judgement_n shall_v come_v to_o pass_v as_o it_o be_v usual_a in_o all_o place_n continual_o we_o must_v stay_v ourselves_o without_o murmur_v or_o find_v fault_n because_o he_o be_v a_o absolute_a lord_n over_o all_o his_o creature_n all_o thing_n be_v in_o his_o hand_n and_o he_o may_v do_v with_o his_o own_o whatsoever_o he_o will_v and_o therefore_o we_o must_v rather_o fear_v and_o tremble_v whensoever_o we_o see_v or_o hear_v of_o they_o so_o david_n say_v i_o be_v dumb_a and_o open_v not_o my_o mouth_n because_o thou_o do_v it_o 119.120_o and_o again_o my_o flesh_n tremble_v for_o fear_n of_o thou_o and_o i_o be_o afraid_a of_o thy_o judgement_n three_o before_o we_o use_v any_o of_o god_n creature_n or_o ordinance_n we_o must_v sanctify_v they_o by_o the_o direction_n of_o his_o word_n and_o by_o prayer_n 10.26_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o he_o be_v lord_n over_o all_o and_o therefore_o from_o his_o word_n we_o must_v fetch_v direction_n to_o teach_v we_o whether_o we_o may_v use_v they_o or_o not_o and_o when_o and_o how_o we_o must_v use_v they_o and_o second_o we_o must_v pray_v to_o he_o that_o he_o will_v give_v we_o liberty_n and_o grace_n to_o use_v they_o aright_o in_o holy_a manner_n also_o we_o be_v so_o to_o use_v the_o creature_n and_o ordinance_n of_o god_n as_o be_v always_o ready_a to_o give_v a_o account_n for_o they_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n for_o we_o use_v that_o which_o be_v the_o lord_n not_o our_o own_o we_o be_v but_o steward_n over_o they_o &_o we_o must_v come_v to_o a_o reckon_n for_o the_o stewardship_n have_v thou_o learning_n then_o employ_v it_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n &_o the_o good_a of_o the_o church_n boast_v not_o of_o it_o as_o though_o it_o be_v thou_o own_o have_v thou_o any_o other_o gift_n or_o blessing_n of_o god_n be_v it_o wisdom_n strength_n riches_n honour_n favour_n or_o whatsoever_o then_o look_v thou_o use_v it_o so_o as_o thou_o may_v be_v always_o ready_a to_o make_v a_o good_a account_n thereof_o unto_o christ._n last_o every_o one_o must_v so_o lead_v his_o life_n in_o this_o world_n as_o that_o at_o the_o day_n of_o death_n he_o may_v surrender_v and_o give_v up_o his_o soul_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o lord_n and_o say_v with_o steven_n lord_n jesus_n receive_v my_o soul_n for_o thy_o soul_n be_v none_o of_o thou_o but_o he_o who_o have_v buy_v it_o with_o a_o price_n 7._o &_o therefore_o thou_o must_v so_o order_v and_o keep_v it_o as_o that_o thou_o may_v in_o good_a manner_n restore_v it_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n at_o the_o end_n of_o thy_o life_n if_o a_o man_n shall_v borrow_v a_o thing_n of_o his_o neighbour_n and_o use_v it_o so_o as_o he_o do_v quite_o spoil_v it_o he_o will_v be_v ashamed_a to_o bring_v it_o again_o to_o the_o owner_n in_o that_o manner_n and_o if_o he_o do_v the_o owner_n will_v not_o receive_v it_o ungodly_a man_n in_o this_o life_n do_v so_o stain_v their_o soul_n with_o sin_n as_o that_o they_o can_v never_o be_v able_a to_o give_v they_o up_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n at_o the_o day_n of_o death_n &_o if_o they_o will_v yet_o god_n accept_v they_o not_o but_o cast_v they_o quite_o away_o we_o must_v therefore_o labour_v so_o to_o live_v in_o the_o world_n that_o with_o a_o joyful_a heart_n at_o the_o day_n of_o death_n we_o may_v commend_v our_o soul_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o lord_n christ_n jesus_n who_o give_v they_o unto_o us._n this_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n to_o be_v do_v and_o he_o that_o will_v do_v it_o true_o must_v first_o be_v assure_v of_o the_o pardon_n of_o his_o

unto_o he_o thus_o much_o of_o the_o second_o degree_n of_o the_o exaltation_n of_o christ_n now_o follow_v the_o three_o in_o these_o word_n and_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n the_o

the_o body_n of_o all_o the_o elect_a after_o this_o life_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n shall_v be_v like_o the_o glorious_a body_n of_o christ_n so_o paul_n say_v christ_n jesus_n our_o lord_n shall_v change_v our_o vile_a body_n that_o they_o may_v be_v like_o his_o glorious_a body_n 3.21_o now_o the_o resemblance_n between_o christ_n body_n and_o we_o stand_v in_o these_o thing_n as_o christ_n body_n be_v uncorruptible_a so_o shall_v our_o body_n be_v void_a of_o all_o corruption_n as_o christ_n body_n be_v immortal_a so_o we_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n shall_v never_o
