solaces in the●● dayes of tears what joy shall there b●● in that day of marriage if our goale 〈◊〉 containe so great matters what sha●● our Countrie and Kingdome doe O my Lord and God thou art a gre●● God and great is the multitude of th● magnificence and sweetnesse And 〈◊〉 there is no end of thy greatnesse n● number of thy wisdom nor measure 〈◊〉 thy benignity so is their neither ●nd numbers nor measure of thy rewar● towards them that love and faithfully serve thee Hitherto St. Austin Anothe● way to conjecture of this felicity is to consider the great promises which Go● maketh in the Scriptures to honor and glorifie man in the life to come whosoever shall honour me saith God I will gloryfie him And the Prophet David as it were complaineth joyfully that Gods friends were so much honoured by him which he might with much more cause have said if he had lived in the new Testament and had heard that promise of Christ that his Servants should sit down and banquet and that himself would serve and minister unto them in the Kingdom of his Father But now to come to that point of this felicity which doth appertain to the soul as the principal part it is to be understood that albeit there be many things that do concur to this felicity for the accomplishment perfection of happynesse yet the fountain of a●l is but one onely thing called by Divines the sight of God that maketh us happy This only sight of God is our happinesse If we would enter into these considerations no doubt but we should be more inflamed with the love of this felicity prepared for us then we are and consequently should strive more to gain it then w● do And to the end thou mayst conceive some more feeling in the matter gentle Reader consider a little with me what a joyfull day shall that be at thy house when having lived in th● fear of God and archieved in his service the end of thy peregrination b● the meanes of death to passe fro● misery and labour to immortality an● in that passage when other men begin to feare thou shalt lift up th● head in hope according as Christ promiseth for that the time of thy salvation cometh Tell me what a day shall that be when thy soule stepping forth of prison and conducted to the Tabernacl● of Heaven and shall be received the● with the honourable Companies an● Troopes of that place with all thos● blessed spirits mentioned in Scripture● as Principalities Powers Vertue● Dominations Thrones Angels Archangels Cherubines and Seraphines also with the holy Apostles an● Disciples of Christ Patriarks Prophets Martyrs Innocents Confe●sors and Saints of God All which shall triumph at thy Coronation and glorification What joy will thy soule receive at that day when shee shall be presented in the presence of these States before the Seat Majestie of the blessed Trinity with recitall and declaration of all thy good works and travels suffered for the love service of God When there shall be laid down in that honourable Consistory all thy vertuous deeds al thy labors that thou hast taken in thy calling all thy almes all thy prayers all thy fasting all thy innocence of life all thy patience in injuries all thy constancie in adversities all thy temperance in meats all thy vertues of thy whole life When all I say shall be recounted there al commended all rewarded shalt thou not see now the value profit of a vertuous life shalt thou not confess that gainful honorable is the service of God Shalt thou not now be glad bless the hour wherein first thou resolvedst thy self to leave the service of the world to serve God Shalt thou not think thy selfe to be beholden to him that perswaded thee unto it Yes verily But yet more then this when as being so neere thy passage here thou shalt consider into what a port and haven of security thou art come and shalt looke backe upon the dangers which thou hast passed and wherein other men are yet in hazzard thy cause of joy shall greatly be increased For thou shalt see evidently how infinite times thou wert in danger to have perished in that journey if God had not held his provident hand over thee Thou shalt see the dangers wherein other men are the death and damnation whereinto many of thy friends and acquaintance have fallen the eternall paines of Hell incurred by many that used to laugh and be merry with them in this world All which shall augment the felicity of this thy blessed estate And now for thy selfe thou mayest be secure thou art out of all danger for ever and ever There is now no more need of feare of watchings of labour of care thou mayest lay down all armour now better then the Children of Israel might have done when they had gotten the Land of promise for there is no more Enemy to assault thee there is no wily Serpent to beguile thee All is peace all is rest all is joy all is security Thy onely exercise must be now to rejoyce to tryumph to sing Hallelujah to the Lambe which hath brought thee to this felicitie and will keep thee in the same world without end But now to draw towards an end in this matter though there be no end in the thing it selfe let the Christian Reader consider whereto he is borne and whereof he is in possibilitie if he will He is born heire apparent to the Kingdome of heaven a Kingdome without end a Kingdome without measure a Kingdome of blisse the Kingdome of God himself he is borne to be joynt heire with Jesus Christ the Sonne of God to raigne with him to triumph with him to sit in judgement with him to judge the very Angels with him What more glory can be thought upon except it were to become God himselfe All the joyes all the riches all the glory that heaven containeth shall be powred out upon him who wil not esteeme of this royall Inheritance Especially seeing that now we have so good opportunity to the obtaining thereof by the benefit of our redemption and grace purchased to us therein Tell me now Gentle Reader why wilt thou not accept of this his offer Why wilt thou not accompt of this his Kingdome Why wilt thou not buy this glory of him for so little a labour as he requireth There is not the wickedest man in the world but taketh more travell and pains in going to Hell then the most painefull servant of God in obtaining of heaven Follow thou not their folly then deare brother for thou shalt see them suffer greevously for it one day when thy heart shall be full gald thou hadst no part among them Let them goe now and bestow their time in vanitie in pleasures in delights of the world Let them build Pall ces purchase Dignities and peeces and patches of ground together Let them hunt after Honours and build Castels in the Ayre the day will
