Here we haue great pleasure in the bewtie of the worlde and of the pleasures honours dignities of the same also in the company of our friendes parentes wyfe children subiectes also in pientie of ryches cattel c. and yet we knowe that neuer a one of these is without his dyscommoditie which god sendeth lest we shuld loue them to much as if you wyl weye thinges you shal easly perceiue The Sunne though it be fayre cherefull yet it burneth sometimes to whot The ayre though it be light and pleasant yet somtimes it is dark and troublous and so of other thinges But be it so that there were no discommodities mingled with the commodities yet as before I haue saide the breuitie and shorte time that wee haue to vse them shoulde asswage their dulcetnes But if this were not also but that the pleasures of this lif were without discommoditie permanent and without peril wherof they be ful yet are they nothing at all to be compared to the commodities of the lyfe to come What is this earth heauen and shape of the worlde wherin beastes haue place and wicked men Goddes ennemies haue abyding and lybertie in comparison of the newe heauen and earth wherin righteousnes shal dwell in comparison of that place where Angels and archangels and al gods people yea God hym selfe hath his abiding and dwelling What is the company of wife children c. in comparison to the company of Abraham Isaack Iacob tste Patriarkes Prophetes Apostles martyrs confessors virgins and all the sainctes of God what is the companye of any in this world in comparison to the company of the Angels Archangels Cherubins Zeraphins powers thrones dominations yea of god the father god the sonne and god the holyghost What are the ryches and pleasures of this lyfe in comparison of the felicitie of euerlasting lif which is without all discommodities perpetuall without all peryll and ieoperdie without all griefe and molestation Oh the myrth and melody Oh the honour and glory Oh the ryches and bewtye Oh the power and maiestie Oh the swetenes and dignitie of the lyfe to come The eie hath not seene the care hath not hearde nor the harte of man is not able to conceiue in any thynge any parte of the eternall felycitie and happy state of heauen Therefore the Sainctes of God haue desired so earnestly so hartely to be there Oh how amiable are thy tabernacles sayth Dauid My soule hath a desire to enter into y t courtes of the Lord my hart and my soule reioyce in the lyuinge god Blessed are those y t dwell in thy house that they may aiwayes be praysing thee for one day in thy courtes is better then a thousand els where I had rather be a dore keper in the house of my GOD then to dwel in the tentes of vngodlines For the lorde god is a light and defence And againe as the Hart desireth the water brokes so lōgeth my soule after thee oh god My soule is a thyrst for god yea euen for the lyuing god when shall I come to appere before the presence of god And my soule thirsteth for thee my fleshe also lōgeth after thee in a barren and drye lande where no water is They gods peple I meane desier the daye of their redemption they still crye let thy kingdome come they crie come lord Iesus come they lyft vp theyr heades loking for his appearing whiche wyll make their vile bodies like to his own glorious and immortall body For when hee shal appeare they shalbe like vnto hym The angels wyl gather them together they shall mete hym in the clowdes and be alwayes with hym They shall heare this ioyfull voyce come ye blessed of my father possesse the kyngdome prepared for you from the begynning Then shall they be lyke vnto his Aungels then shall they shyne lyke the Sunne in the kyngdome then shall they haue crounes of glory and be endued with whyte garmentes of innocencie and righteousenes palines of victorye in their handes Oh happy happy is he that may with them se that imusrial and incorruptible inherytaunce which thē we shal enioy for euer Thus you se I hope sufficiently that in respect of heauen eternall blysse wherunto by the hauen of death we land this lif though there were no euyll in it is not to be loued but rather we that he pilgrimes in it should desier with Paule and Simton to be losed and dissolued that wee might be with god Here our bodies as before is spoken are in daunger of innumerable euilles but there our bodies shall be not onely without al daunger vutalso be like the glorious immortal body of the lord Iesus christ Nowe our bodies be darke then shall they be most cleere lyght as we se Christes face dyd shyne in his transfiguration like to the suane Now our bodies be vile miserable mortall and corruptible but then shall they be gloryous happy immortal and incorruptible wee shall be lyke vnto Christ our sauiour euen as he is so shal we be As we haue borne the image of the earthly so shall we beare the image of the heauēly Here our soules are in greate dearknes and daungers of many euyls but there they shall be in great light safe securitie and secure felicitie we shall se god face face where nowe wee se him but as in a glasse thorowe a darke speaking There shal we behold him euen as he is and be satisfied without lothsomnes of his presense yea we shalbe endued with most perfecte knowledge where now we know but partly there shal we know as we be knowen Here our commodities are measurable shorte vncertaine and mingled with many incommodyties but there is myrth without measure all lybertie al light all ioye reioysing pleasure healthe wealthe ryches glorye power treasure honour triumphe comforte solace loue vnitie peace concorde wisdome vertue melody mekenes felicitie beatitude and all that euer can be wysshed or desired and that in most securitie and perpetuitie that may be conceiued or thoughte not onely of men but also of aungelles as wytnesseth hee that sawe it I meane Paule who was caryed vp into the thirde heauen The eye hath not seene saith hee the tare hath not heard neither hath entred into the harte of man the felicitie that God hath prepared for them that loue hym There the archangels angels powers thrones dominions cherubins Seraphins Patriarkes Prophetes apostles martyrs Virgins confessors and ryghteous spirites cease not to singe nyghte and day Holy Holy Holy lord God of hostes honor maiestie glory impery and dominion be vnto thee oh lord
