not what you shall not see there The Jews that were left of the Captivity were set on going into Egypt because there they hoped to be exempted from the Dangers and Wants that attended them in their present Station Jer. 42.14 We will go into Egypt where we shall see no War nor hear of the sound of the Trumpet nor have hunger of Bread and there will we dwell O Sirs how should Saints be set on going for Heaven where they shall see no War nor hunger of Bread O think of it 1. There you shall see no Lusts to entice 2. No Devil to tempt 3. No World to seduce 4. No Afflictions to load 5. No Labours to weary 6. No Cares to perplex 7. No Losses to vex 8. No Evils to exercise and disquiet All these things that are now seen shall then be unseen things for ever Saints now in Heaven are seeing none of them shall never see any of them again for ever Do you now Sirs conflict with all or most of these Day after Day Do you groan and sigh under are your Lives imbitter'd by them Why should you not long then to be at the unseen things where these will be unseen for ever 3. Consider what you shall see there But how can I tell you this They are unseen things that are to be seen there beyond all that hath been seen and past all that can be thought by the Sons of Men Expect not to be told till you come to see Only I may tell you that when you are come to the seeing these unseen things Then 1. You shall see God John 1.18 No Man hath seen God at any time the only begotten Son which is in the Bosom of the Father he hath declar'd him A sight of God is beyond all that is attainable here But there you shall see him Face to Face 1 Cor. 13.12 For now we see through a Glass darkly but then Face to Face Now I know in part but then shall I know even as also I am known Then i. e. in Heaven 1 John 3.2 But we know that when he shall appear we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is You shall then see the Divine Essence the Trinity of Persons the great Mystery God manifest in the Flesh the personal Union of the two Natures in the Son of God the glorious Attributes of God 1. His almighty Power 2. His infinite Wisdom 3. His boundless Goodness 4. His bottomless Mercy 5. His endless Love c. And O this will be another manner of Sight than any that ever has come in sight 2. You shall see the Angels the holy Angels of God 1. Their infinite Number 2. Their beautiful Order 3. Their blessed Work 4. Their glorious Properties and Perfections O what a sight will this be If when only one Angel appeared to the Shepherds in his Night-clothes as I may say they were surrounded with so great Glory that it 's said Luke 2.9 The Glory of the Lord shone round about them that is a transcendent and surpassing Glory I say if the presence of one Angel was accompanied with so great a Glory then what will it be to see the thousand thousands that minister to Christ and the ten thousand times ten thousand that fall down before him 3. You shall see all the Saints of God all that are gone to God and are with God this Day in Glory If my Beloved but one of these were sent from Heaven if but Abraham or Moses or David or Peter or Paul should come again into this World how far would you not go to see this one When Lazarus was raised from the Dead it 's said John 12.9 And they came not for Jesus sake only but that they might see Lazarus also whom he had raised from the Dead The rarity of the sight viz. a Man that had been in that was come out of another World brought many from far and near Why so would you not go a great way to see such a Man Why how willing then should you be to go to Heaven where you shall come to see not one but all the Patriarchs Prophets Apostles Martyrs Confessors and Saints out of every Nation under Heaven Here you shall see Abraham and Moses and David here Parents shall see their Children again and Children their Parents Husbands shall see their Wives again and Wives their Husbands Pastors shall see their People again and People their Pastors Quos modo miramus Regione videbimus illa Et veteres inter fuscipiemus Avos Bapt. Mantuanus And you shall not only see them thus but see them without all those Afflictions Burdens Blemishes Corruptions Imperfections and Infirmities that did accompany them in this State and clothed with glorious Perfections 4. You shall see all those great things which the great God hath prepared for his Saints before the Foundation of the World the things that are as before set out by the Names and Titles of a better Country Paradise a House a City an Inheritance Crown Kingdom and the rest You shall see all all these all the things wherein the Purposes and Counsels of the Father the Purchases and Performances of the Son the Workings and Operations of the Spirit meet in their Perfection and have their full perfect and eternal Accomplishment and Consummation O who would not long for such a sight Who would be unwilling to go from seeing Sin and Sorrow and Want to see such a sight as this for ever 5. I might further tell you that you shall there see a clear and satisfying Resolution of all hard and doubtful Questions a full determination of the voluminous Controversies and Disputations about the great Mysteries of Election Redemption Justification Sanctification the Resurrection Consummation Judgment c. 6. A plain and full Exposition of all dark and obscure Places in the Scripture the true and full meaning of every Text even those that now the numerous and voluminous Commentaries of the most learned and eminent Writers of all Ages leave us in the dark about There are 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 things hard to be understood and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Knots that cannot be untied But then dark things shall be perfectly cleared and doubtful things fully resolved to a plenary Satisfaction This is the third thing to exhort us to desire and seek to come to the seeing of these unseen things FINIS
