HEAVEN's GLORY AND Hell's Terror Containing the Glory of the Saints in HEAVEN with Jesus Christ and the Eternal Torments of the Damned in HELL London Printed by W. O. for the Author and Sold by J. Blare at the Looking-glass on London-bridge The Preface to the Reader Christian Reader SInce the time my little Book for Children firstcome abroad I was perswaded by some of my Friends to set out another Book for those of riper Years which I was not very free to do at first but now at last I have yielded to it hoping it will be for the good of their Souls And I could think no Subject more suitable for Young Old than to make a Book of Directions by what means they may escape Everlasting Torments and get safe to Heaven I had thought at first to have made this a double Book but I have yielded to make it only a small Penny-Book because all Poor as well as Rich might be able to purchase One for I earnestly wish'd that this little Book may come into the hands of them all that all into whose hands this little Book should come would follow these Directions and lead such Lives as that they may be Saved in the Day of the Lord Jesus Which is the earnest Prayer of your dear Friend Robert Russel THE Plain Way TO HEAVEN THE Reasons why I write these Directions is Because so many thousands flock to Hell when they verily think they are in the Way to Heaven And others go on securely in their Sins running on in all kind of Wickedness not considering what will become of them until they drop into Hell I shall therefore proceed after that Order as I did in my Little Book for Children First I will give you a short Hint of the dreadful Estate of the Wicked and then of the joyful Estate of the Godly with some Directions in order to your Salvation Consider first all you that continue in your sins and will not be perswaded to repent and lead a new life how dreadful your Estate will be at last for as long as you remain in your unconverted Estate God and you are Enemies you are under his Wrath and Curses You are Slaves to the Devil And besides all this you are in danger every hour of dropping into Hell you know not how suddenly Death may seize upon you And if then you are unprepated you shall be haled by the Devils down to Hell where you shall be kept under Chains of Darkness unto the dreadful judgment of the Great Day and then your Bodies shall be raised to Life again and be summoned before the Judgment-geat of Christ where you shall give a strict Account for all things that you have thought done or spoken in your life-time there you shall stand trembling before your offended Judge expecting that doleful Sentance to be pronounced upon you Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels No sooner is this dreadful Sentance past but away you must be gone away you shall be haled by the Devils with the rest of your damned Crew down into that Lake that burns with Fire and Brimstone where you shall be continually tormented with thegnawings of your guilty Conscience where you shall be continually scorched with the burning Wrath of Almighty God there your Bloud shall boyl your flesh shall fry there you shall lye howling and screeching continually in that Lake of Fire and never have ease nor end But on the other fide consider how happy your Conditions will be if you in time repent and forsake your Sins and become new Creatures that then God will be your Father Christ will be your Brother and the Spirit will be your Comforter you shall be filled with Peace of Conscience which is better then the carnal Peace of the Wicked You shall be filled with the Joys of the Holy Ghost which a thousands times surpasseth all Worldly Joys You shall have the free and full Pardon of all your Sins so that they shall be remembred no more And besides all this whensoever Death comes whether sooner or later you shall be sure of Heaven and at your last gasp the Angels shall carry your Soul as they did the Soul of Lazarus into the Kingdom of Heaven And as for your Body that shall be laid in the Grave as in the Bed of Christ there to rest until the glorious Morning of the Resurrection and then your Bodies shall be raised again and fashioned ●ike unto the glorious Body of Christ and Soul and Body being then reunited you shall be openly acknowledged and acquitted and be placed at the right hand of Christ and hear that comfortable Sentance pronounced unto you Come ye blessed of my Father inherit the kingdom which was prepared for you from the foundation of the worla Then you shall be received with rejoycing and triumphing into the Heaven of Heavens the place of Joy and Bliss Therefore you shall be stript of all your Robes of Mortality and be cloath'd with immortality then you shall sit down to rest with Abraham Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven There you shall possess such Divine Freasures such rare Joys yea variety of Joys and such sweet Delights as no Mortal Eyes hath ever seen no Mortal Ear hath ever heard nor can it ever enter into the Heart of Man to conceive what Joys and Delights God hath prepared for you in Heaven then you shall be for ever free from all kind of Sin and Sorrow There shall be no more death neither sorrow nor crying neither shall there be any more pain for the former things are passed away and God shall wipe away all tear's from your eyes Revel 21.4 There shall be Life without Death Health without Sickness and Pleasure without Pain as you shall be freed from all Evil so you shall enjoy all the Good that can be enjoyed You shall there meet all your dear Friends and Relations that departed in the Fear of God there you shall rejoyce one with another and with one heart and voice sing Praises and Hallelujahs to God to the Lamb that sits upon the Throne for ever and ever And now I hope you are ready to ask What shall we do that we may escape everlasting Torments and get safe to Heaven And begin to be priest at the Heart and are ready to say What shall we do to be saved Ans If it be so that you earnestly desire to know the Way to Heaven and are willing to walk in that Way then as I in my little Book for young Ones Nine Directions what they should do to escape Hell and attain Heaven So here I will give you some Directions What you should do ●o be Saved●● And instead of many I will only give you these two That is Repent and B●●●ue the Gospel follow but there two D●●●ctions and you are in the right way to Heaven The Law indeed requires Perfect ●●●●ence but no meer Man
