dye the Devil presently claims their souls the breath is no sooner gone but the Soul is in Hell These three Points of Doctrine I shall first prove unto you from Scritpure evidence and shew you that it is so and then in the second place I shall endeavour to improve them by way of Vse and Application for the spiritual improvement of your precious and immortal souls And the first Point to be proved is this that there is both a Heaven and a Hell in handling of which I shall first shew you that it is so that there is both a Heaven and a Hell And secondly what this Heaven and Hell is That there is both a Heaven and a Hell is a truth believed in all ages denied by none but Atheists and such as deny God and they that dare deny this truth will not dare also to deny God himself The truth of this Point is so clear that it néeds no proof it being as clear as the Sun at Noonday so that he that runs may read it the Text it self doth clearly prove this truth Dives being in Hell sees Lazarus in Abrahams bosome Dives he never minded Hell so as to prevent it but Dives he now findes a Hell so as never to escape it That there is a Hell see that place in Psalm 9.17 The wicked shall be turned into hell and all the Nations that forget God It is better saith our Saviour in Matthew 5.30 to lose one eye rather then our whole body should enter into hell That of our Saviour in the 10. of Matthew and the 28. verse is a clear proof of this Point Fear not him which can kill the body but is not able to kill the soul but rather fear him that is able to destroy both soul and body in hell which clearly proves that there is a Hell wherein both soul and body shall be destroyed Secondly that there is a Heaven a place of Glory for the Saints in the world to come you may sée if you consider these following Scriptures Psal 58.11 Verily there is a reward for the righteous And this was that which did put Moses upon chusing Christ the Text saith Heb. 11.26 He had respect to the recompence of reward Psal 37.24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel saith David and afterward receive me to glory This made the believing Hebrews Heb. 10.34 rejoyce in having their go●ds spo●●ed and taken away the Apostle saith they knew in themselves that they had in Heaven a better and a more induring substance We know saith the Apostle 2 Cor. 5.1 that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved we have a building of God an house not made with hands eternal in the heavens Rejoyce saith our Saviour and leap for joy for behold your reward is great in Heaven Luke 6.24 Sell all saith our Saviour and give to the poor and thou shalt have treasure in Heaven Luke 18.22 This day saith our Saviour to the Penitent Thief shalt thou be with me in Paradice Luke 23.43 and Chap. 24.51 our Saviour after his Resurrection is there said to be carried up into Heaven So in the 16. of Mark our Saviour being risen and appearing to his Discip●e● 〈◊〉 said in the 19. v●●se After he had spoken 〈◊〉 them he was received up into heaven and sate at the right hand of God Consider these Scriptures and surely thou wil● believe that there is both a Heaven and a Hell Now what this Heaven is I shall endeavour to declare unto you but had I the tongue of men and Angels it were not possible for me fully to declare unto you the glory thereof for as the Apostle saith excellently Eye hath not seen nor ear heard neither hath i● entered into the heart of man to conceive the things which God hath prepared for them that love him 1 Cor. 2.9 If all the stars in the firmament of heaven were all Suns saith a godly man now in glory they would be but a dark shadow to the glory of heaven and therefore it s reserved for eternity to be known But to give you a little glimpse of this glory and I shall but shew you as it were the out-side of your Fathers house the inside or rather the perfection of all you shall know when you come to the enjoyment of it And this I shall briefly shew 1. Negatively 2. Comparatively and 3. Positively And for the negative part of this glory there shall be no evil the Saints in Heaven shall be freed from all evil from sin and that 's the greatest evil yea the evil of evils the people of God in Heaven shall be freed from all hardness of heart blindness of minde ●u●ness of spirit there they shall serve God freely and fully and as they shall be freed from the evil of sin so they shall be delivered from all possibility of sinning which is when the happiness of God himself 1. In Heaven there shall be no sorrow sorrow shall there flee away and although through many tribulations we must enter into Heaven yet in Heaven there shall be no tribulation nor sorrow there all tears shall be wiped away from our eyes and there shall be no more death nor sorrow nor pain no sickness in heaven no deformity nor crookedness in glory no consumptions nor decaying of our bodies no persecutions nor oppressions there in Heaven the Saints shall be beyond the reach of the Devil and all his instruments in this world the Saints meet with troubles and griefs and persecutions and distresses but in the world to come in Heaven they shall be done away 2. For the Comparative part of this glory 1.
