transformed into an Angell of Light There is 2 Cor. 11. 14. none to the white Devill for malignant Devillismes The Honour of the Gospell hath ever beene more impeached by sinnefull Professours then by professed sinners And therefore hee who is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Searcher of Hearts will never suffer Revel 2. 2● any to come into his presence that practice impiety under the pretence of Piety That grand Devillisme of Hypocrisie can never deceive the All-seeing Eyes of God Omniscient No malignant designes can there be advanced by the seemes of Religion There are none but those that are truely religious Glory of the Times pag. 207. None but such as are as Ephrem Syrus desired to be That are indeed as they are in seeme and are in seeme even as they should It is one degree of Happinesse for a Man to be himselfe even as hee should be But an other a greater to be with none but such as hee is himselfe How happy then are they that can converse with none but those that are truely good And are truly good like those they converse with Who then can chuse but wish the enjoyment of that Presence of God where none but such have entertainement Who would not be there for ever were there no greater good to be found then this that no kinde of evill can there be found No evill company No evill by company No company of evill No Devills nor bedevilled Men No tempters No tormentours nor any other infernalls No Devills incarnate either white or black No kinde of Death either temporall or eternall No kinde of Warres No kinde of woes No kinde of sufferings No kinde of Sinne. Happy surely are the people that be in such case Yet let mee tell you that it is not the absence of evill alone that can make a Man truely and fully happy It may cause some joy but not the fulnesse of joy till the affluence of all good things be enjoyed with it Now in the glorious Presence of God there is not onely the absence of all evill but the presence of all good A perfect freedome from all evill There is abundantia cumulatissima saith Master Calvin A In locum full abundance or an abundant fulnesse of all delectables Omne genus jucunditatis omne laetitiarum genus saith he there are all kindes of joyes all sorts of Pleasures There are profitable pleasures and pleasurable profits Things inconsistent here are all coincident there Those Gifts that goe not here together are all united there Those comforts which are divided here in severall Streames doe meet all there as in their fountaine or rather in the Ocean No one here may ever looke to enjoy all good things but all there doe ever so There are the precious Merchandies of all Cities for that 's the City of all precious Merchandies There are the true delights of all Countries for that 's the true Country of all delights There are all the reall Honours of the Court that can never be lost And that 's the right Court of Honour that can never be put downe There are all the true pleasures of Paradice for that 's the true Paradice of all pleasures What does any of your soules take most delight in What doe you most of all desire There may you have it in the fullest measure and there enjoy it in the finest manner Doe you desire or delight in Gold Or precious Stones Or costly Gemms or stately Palaces There 's a City of pure Divitiae si diliguntur ibi serventur ubi perire non possunt Honor si diligi tur illic habcatur ubi nemo i dignus honoretur c. S. August Sup. Johan Gold cleare as Crystall walled and gated and garnished with Jaspers and Saphirs and all sots of Pearles and precious Stones as S. John describes it Revel 21. 18 19. Or doe you delight in glorious Triumphs and pompous shewes There are Triumphs Everlasting And the Glory of all Nations shall flow into that City in triumphant manner as saith Saint John Revel 21. 26. Or doe you delight as Massinissa did and Dioclesian too in curious Gardens In fruitfull Orchards In healthfull walkes In pleasant fountaines There is the Celestiall Paradice wherein a Man had he an hundred times as many Eyes as Argus might imploy them all at once with various Curiosities transcendent rarities All those admired Gardens of Adonis and Alcinous of Po and Tantalus and the Hesperides could never boast no not in any fiction of the Poets of such a living fountaine as that which floweth in the middle of this Garden of Heaven and affords the water of life Nor yet of such a Tree as that of life which beares twelve kindes of fruit and brings forth every month as S. John writeth of it Revel 22. 1 2. Or doe you delight in and desire Peace There can you never want it That new Hierusalem is the true Hierusalem the blessefull vision of Peace A City at Peace and Vnity in it selfe There endlesse Triumphs of Peace are solemnized by all the Citizens That 's the place of peace There 's the Prince of peace the Author of peace the maker the Creatour of it There 's the full enjoyment of that mother-Blessing and all other blessings with it The true God of peace is there and the true peace of God which passeth all understanding And doe you desire Truth with Peace There are both together The God of Peace is the God of Truth And the truth of God is there revealed fully The true worship of the most holy God is there established and the true God is worshiped there in the beauty of holinesse Or doe you delight in the melody of consort Musick There are soule-ravishing Anthems chanted and warbled by the sweetest of all the Heavenly Quire in that mother Church that Glorious Temple Christs Church Triumphant There are Choreall Doxologies Ecchoed forth by all sorts of Celestiall Songsters in Harmonious Diapasons Hosanna in the highest is here the highest straine that we can reach in any of the songs of Syon But in that Glorious presence of God every saint can rere his Halelujah above our Ela without hoarsing of his voice Or doe you delight in Ease and rest from wearisome labours Hoc accepimus ab antiquis Beatitudinis quictom sociam essc Jul.
