sinne in Paradice away he must and if Iudas shrinke at the side of Christ he must be gon Malorum eiecto bonorum glorificatio then are the good and godly glorified when the wicked and wayward are mortified There be two sinnes sensible in this dissolute age wherein we liue and they are written in so great and capitall letters that a man may reade them running the first is the fawning sinne of

their God their glorie is their shame and they doe but minde Earthly things Nay you are well worse in your vnrepentant liues then these poore sinners are in their penitent deaths For they haue their conuersation in Heauen From whence they looke for the Sauiour Euen the Lorde Iesus Christ who shall change these our vile bodies that they may be fashioned like vnto his glorious bodie according to the working whereby he is able euen to subdue all things vnto himselfe Yea that I may cōclude with my Text These haue their liues so hidden in Christ as they are well assured that when Christ which is their life shal appeare then shall they appeare with him in glorie And so I passe to the last Wheele turning and tending to that glorie which shall be euen vpon your dissolution in soule and vpon the restauration of your bodies in the day of your Redemption when Christ who is your life shall appeare Now in this Apparition what shall I see I shall see the second comming of my CHRIST attended vpon Not with twelue poore Fishermen but with all the Powers of heauen I shall see him come Ad Sententiandum ad Seperandum when those that haue done good shall goe into euerlasting life whither God bring you and those that haue done euill into euerlasting Condemnation from which the Lord deliuer you But what shall ye see vpon Christ his Apparition Nay rather what shall yee not see vpon your dissolution Words spoken in season as Salomon saith are like apples of siluer in pictures of gold therefore flye out my voyce and be strong my spirit euermore to expresse the glorie of those vnspeakable Ioyes yee shall both see and feele within these fewe houres when dead in body but rauished in soule yee shall see the heauens open to giue you readie passage to eternall blessednes 1 Where

Yee shall see the holy Ghost proceeding from both and breathing vpon your saued soules like a softe ayre vpon a garden and more sweete then all the trees of incense 4 Yee shall see the bright court of

shall yee walke before the Lord in the land of the liuing for euermore 6 Yee shall see new Ierusalem come downe from heauē as a Bride prepared for her husband a Citie of solace whose portes are euer patent whose streetes are paued with gold garnished with all manner of pretious stones the Iasper the Saphir the Chalcedonie the Emarod the Sardonix the Sardius the Crisolite and the Berill the Topas
