Habitation perpetuall The Author to the Hebrewes saith We receiue a kingdome which cannot be shaken Saint Iohn heard in Pathmos great voyces from heauen saying The Kingdomes of this world are our Lords and his Christs and he shall reigne for euermore Thus God will bestow vpon his Saints a glorious ample ioyfull and a perpetuall kingdom where they shall be ioyfull in an euerlasting ioy The ioyes of heauen are exquisite the felicity permanent and the glory eternall where faith hath her perfect worke in charity Hope her desired happinesse and loue a large scope in euerlasting Vnity They

haue suffered sorrow heere for a short time shall enter into ioy there for euer which is called the ioy of the Lord They that haue beleeued in God shal reioice in his presence for euer they that haue liued in his feare shall liue without feare of any enemy for euer they that haue kept holy the Lords Sabboths here shall there kéepe holy day for euer they that haue honored their Parēts Ministers

holy Angels for euer and they that haue here wrung their hands for sorrow shal there clap their hands for ioy for euer more This shall be the blessed estate of all Gods Saints that shall dwell in the kingdome of God for euer These cōsiderations caused the Patriarches Prophets and the Saints of the olde world to long for desire that eternall swéet most ioyfull inheritance of Gods heauenly Kingdome Toby Iob and Elias wished thēselues in that Kingdome Paule desired to bee dissolued and bee with Christ Salomon counted all the glory of his Kingdome but vanity and the continuance thereof but as a wéede Dauid lamenteth that hee is so long kept away frō this glorious eternall Kingdome Woe is mee saith hee that I am constrained to dwell with Mesech and to haue my habitation among the tents of Kedar And againe Like as the Hart desireth the water brooks so longeth my soule after thée O God my soule is athirst for God yea euen for the liuing God O when shall I come to appeare before the presence of God And againe he saith that he should vtterly haue fainted but that he did rest in hope of a better Kingdome and beleeued verily in short time to see the goodnesse of the Lord in the land of the Liuing Why did Abraham forsake his own natural countrey and his fathers house and to goe out he knew not whither Why did Moses forsake Egypt and refused to bee called the son of Pharaohs Daughter Why did so many Saints and holy men women leaue their ancient houses and riches and wander vp and downe in wildernesses in mountaines and in dens caues of the earth Surely for this cause they had respect vnto the recompence of the reward that was Regnum Dei the Kingdome of God they counted their Countrey but banishment and a cursed vale of misery their worldly glory but vanity their dwelling and abode here but a Iayle a prisō or a dark dungeon their pleasures but sorrow mourning and teares and all their doings were to this end that they might enioy a better Inheritance that is this glorious kingdome of Almighty God This is the Inheritance whereof the Apostle speaketh Proposito sibi gaudio sustinuit crucem He suffered affliction
