is your Fathers good pleasure to give you the Kingdom Luke 22. 29. I appoint unto you a Kingdome mark the promise is pregnant with a Kingdome 'T is no less then a Crown a Kingdome that is here delivered to you Luke 19. 12. A certain noble man went into a far Country to receive to himself a Kingdome and to return This is the business you are come for hither to receive to your selves a Kingdome and so to return Oh methinks you should forget what ground you go upon as you are going home to think what you have received here methinks you should go forth as Haman from the Banquet joyful and with a glad heart Sirs do you know what you are doing why the Lord doth by these signs give you the Kingdome as a man by the delivering to you a Turf or a Key gives possession of an House or Land Brethren have you ever read of the Kingdome of joy of the Crown of life of the Robes of Righteousness of the Thrones of Glory Why all this God here makes over to you I tell you Sirs these are not big words nor cunningly devised fables God All-mighty is here come to certifie you of the reality of his promises As sure as you do now sit on your seats you shall shortly sit on your Thrones As sure as you are now cloathed with flesh so surely shall you be cloathed with Glory Are you sure that you are now on Earth so surely shall you be shortly in Heaven The Lord intendeth you but for a very little while in this lower Region you must dwell above where Christ is there you must be also As sure as you now see a Crucified Christ so sure shall you shortly see a Glorified Christ.
