like the glorious body of Christ There we shall do the will of God perfectlie In heaven there is no sin nor temptation to sin no not so much as a vain thought or an idle word And as there is no sin so there is no Satan There shall be no more need of Sermons nor Sacraments nor Prayers But the whole work of the Saints in heaven will be to sing Praises and Hallelujahs to God for ever and ever Thirdlie in Heaven there is fulnesse of joy Rivers of pleasures at Gods Right hand and that for evermore Psalm 16.11 And those Rivers of pleasures shall flow in and from the presence of God himself as the Fountain of all those joies which have infinitenesse and eternitie in them without the least dram of sorrow For God shall then wipe away all tears from our eyes and there shall be no more sorrow Rev.

whose walls are Jasper and the stre●●pure Gold clear as Christal whose foundation are of precious Stones and the gates thereof 〈◊〉 Pearles And if this new Jerusalem the Church of God here below be so glorious how exceeding glorious then is that heavenly Jerusalem which is above Heaven as one saith is the Palace of the King of Glory the Presence chamber of the great God whose Presence it is that makes Heaven to be Heaven There indeed would be no Heaven if God Himself were not there In Heaven God makes His Glory visible both to Saints and Angels Thence it is called a Crown of Glory an eternal weight of Glory Glory shall then and there cover the Saints all over from top to toe both within and without their Souls shall there be made glorious in knowledge wisdom and understanding and their bodies shall be made like the glorious Body of Christ The bodies of the Saints in Heaven shall be free from all necessities of nature as food and raiment sleep and the like In Heaven there shall be no
