because of my foolishness But we shall not always be complaining so God will take us from all our Corruptions God will take us from all our Disorders God will take us from the reach of so much as one vain Thought for evermore I may speak after Moses in Deut. 12. 8. Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day though ye are not as yet come to the rest which the Lord your God giveth you When the Walls of this Clay Tabernacle are batter'd down all the Leprosie which now cleaves unto us will be done away We shall shortly take an eternal farewel of every Lust and say Be gone thou vile thing be gone I will never see thee more Indeed it was the cursed Womb of sin from vvhich Death at first came into the World. But O the Mystery of Divine Wisdom The Daughter destroys the Mother and by Death shall sin go out of the World again Secondly God will take the Believer from the state of a Mourner here There are many and mighty Temptations which now cause us to vex as Rebeckah did at her Annoyances in Gen. 27. 46. I am weary of my life Yea but vvhen thy life is expired they shall never weary thee any more God will take us from all seducing Temptations and remove all Evil Counsellors from our presence for ever The fiery Darts of the Devil shall not reach us and wound us as heretofore We shall not be put upon saying Get thee behind me Satan for Satan shall be far enough below us The time will come when we shall march as Conquerors thorough these Territories of the Prince of the Power of the Air and at the utmost Borders thereof we shall give such a triumphant Shout Adieu foul Fiend adieu The Son of David will never let me come into thy devouring Jaws again We shall go likewise from the Intanglements of the World. The things of this World we shall turn our backs upon as upon poor Trifles poor Nothings and miserable Comforters and vve shall say To the Fire I leave you all The Men of this World vve shall be no more flattered or terrified vvithal but laugh at all the Favour and all the Fury of those poor Worms and say as our Saviour to the Jews Whither I go you cannot come God will take us from all afflicting Temptations too As for our Spirits we shall not weep as we do now under our Doubts and our Fears nor any more say God counteth me for his Enemy As for our Bodies we shall drop them and all the Ails and all the Pains of them as Elijah did his Mantle of old As for our Names we shall be gone from the scourge of the Tongue there shall be no Shimei to curse us in the New-Jerusalem which we go unto No Losses no Crosses will then affect us nor Cain's Club of Persecution ever lay a blow upon us any more Thirdly God will take the Believer from the state of a Waiter here It is the Voice of all good Men in 2 Cor. 5. 2. We groan earnestly desiring to be cloathed upon with our house which is from Heaven Our last groans will put a period unto those groans God will take us from our Faith and from our Hope it shall be turned into Sight and Love and Joy World without end We shall e're long leave looking for the Rest which remaineth for the People of God Leave looking for that City whose Builder and Maker is God Leave looking the Crown of Life the Crown that fadeth not away We shall have what we have been looking for and we shall be taken from our humble prayerful careful Expectations of it We shall no more be panting after the Promise and saying O when will it come unto me All the sure Mercies of the Covenant will say unto us We are come we are come we are now thine for evermore PROP. II. They that Walk with God shall be taken by God unto a glorious Estate in Heaven too We shall be taken by God when we are taken by Death But unto what shall we be taken A New Sight will chiefly constitute the New State vvhich God will take us to In short we shall be taken to a Full Refreshing Transforming sight of God in Christ among the Righteous for ever I shall give but a touch at these things we do but stammer and stumble vvhen we attempt a Description of them Indeed I know not vvhether I had best offer at any Description of this glorious Estate or instead thereof only say as he said unto Nathanael once Go and see Yet however this little Cluster of Notions we may carry with us to the heavenly Countrey from vvhence they were brought unto us First God will take the Believer unto a state wherein he shall be immediately beholding of himself in Christ Jesus We shall come into the Presence of our Lord and behold our Joseph our Jesus in all his glory There shall then be fulfilled that part of our Lord's Intercession in Joh. 17. 24. Let them be with me where I am that they may behold my glory God will take us where we shall see the Countenance and hear the Conference too of that Man in vvhom dwells the fulness of the Godhead bodily God will take us into the Embraces of him vvho has loved us and washed us away from our sins in his own blood And when we see him we shall see God in him I suppose that he is the large Golden Vessel full of God from which the heavenly Visions of God are to be derived for evermore Our Felicity shall be that in Mat. 5. 8. They shall see God. God will take us vvhere we shall be made sensible of his Attributes and Perfections in a measure that we are not us'd unto God will take us vvhere we shall not so much in any Creature as in the Mediator see him that is Invisible Secondly God will take the Believer unto a State wherein he shall be wonderfully Conformed to Himself and Christ Jesus The Children of God have His Nature His Image now upon them they shall hereafter arrive to the fulness of it and be filled with all the fulness of God The Psalmist could say in Psal 17. 15. I shall be satisfied when I awake with the likeness of God. God will take us vvhere our Knowledge will be enlarged like the sands on the Sea-shore Where our Vertue shall be compleated into an Heart after God's own Heart God will take us vvhere the Sun of Righteousness will replenish us with bright Beams of Light and Love until we be like him for we shall see him as he is Thirdly God will take the Believer into a State wherein he shall enjoy the best Society of most Righteous Ones We shall be able to speak after the manner of the Apostle in Heb. 12. 22. I am come to an innumerable company of Angels and to the general Assembly of the first-born The Angels they are our Guardians now
