not in euery particular alike capable of glory Yet happy and thrice happy shall they bee who shall bee partakers of the least of heauenly glory They that haue least can desire no more and they that haue most discerne no wants in others but haue a contented pleasure with profit safety with solace felicity with vnity peace with perfection and agreement with grace Where Christ his righteousnesse is their holy rayment and his perfect fulnes their ioyfull contentment Their drinke is the most sweete water of Life Angels food their delicate nourishment they shall haue the blessing of the holy Trinity with all the spirituall riches vnspeakeable ioyes of heauen to be powred vppon them O who can tel the greatnesse of this ioy When where togither shal meete the Head and the Body Christ and his Church the Prince of peace and his Spouse our two old friends our soules and our bodyes shall meete after so many yeeres of separation with Angels Arch-angels Cherubins and Seraphins Patriarches Prophets Martyrs Apostles and all the blessed Saints of God also fathers and mothers husbands and wiues maisters and seruants brothers and sisters parents and childreÌ„ neighbours and friends all shall meete together what cryes and shouts will there be for ioy what clapping of hands and sweete embracements one of another O great shall be our ioyes when we behold our long-desired purchase which we haue so often wished for and most great shall bÃ©e our ioy more then euer it was when wee both with body and soule shall sÃ©e and behold our Creator as hee is where wee all shall thinke one thing and all shall sing one song Halleluiah God O we shal not onely behold our most blessed Sauiour who so deerely bought vs but we shal also reign with him triumph with him sit in the iudgement seat with him iudge the very Angels with him O what more hope could be thought vpon except it were to bee Gods our selues All the ioyes all the riches all the happines that heauen containeth shall be powred vppon vs. To these ioyes to these felicities and to this blessed Inheritance bring vs O Lord for thy deare Sonne Christ Iesus his sake Fourthly Heauen is described by the Eternity As this Kingdome is full of ioyes vnspeakeable so the ioyes thereof are also eternall Thy Kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome and thy Dominion indures throughout all generatioÌ„s The God of heauen shal set vp a Kingdome which shal neuer be destroyed this kingdom is life euerlasting this glory is eternall these ioyes are permanent the Crowne neuer fadeth the Saluation is perdurable the Inheritance immortal and the 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 that haue receiued here smal things for a time shall receiue there great things for euer they that haue beene faithfull here ouer a few things shall bee made there rulers ouer many things they that 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 kÃ©epe holy day for euer they that haue honored their PareÌ„ts Ministers Masters Magistrates shall be honoured of God and Angels for euer they that haue chastised their bodyes and suffered with Christ Iesus shall bee indued with the light of euerlasting immortality and reigne with him for euer they that haue loued their neighbours shall be beloued of God for euer they that haue mourned sorrowed and truly lamented for their sinne shall receiue Crownes of glory for euer they that haue watched praied in the night fasted in the Bridegroomes absence shall now rest in the day that hath no night and be richly feasted in the Kingdome of God for euer They that haue labored in the Lords Vineyard shall there receiue the penny of eternall blisse for euer they that haue ouercome the World the Flesh and the Deuill shall triumph in eternall glory with Christ and his 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 coÌ„siderations caused the Patriarches Prophets and the Saints of the olde world to long for desire that eternall swÃ©et most ioyfull inheritance of Gods heauenly Kingdome Toby Iob and Elias wished theÌ„selues 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 wÃ©ede Dauid lamenteth that hee is so long kept away froÌ„ 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 thÃ©e 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 prisoÌ„ 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

man could number of all Nations and Kindreds and people and the Inhabitants of heauen exceede in number the stars in the firmament or the sands by the Sea shore O Israell how great is the house of God and how large is the place of his possession In domo Patris mei multae sunt mansiones In my Fathers house there are many mansions sayth our Sauiour Iesus Christ Whereof this proportion may be made that as far as the whole world in greatnesse and compasse of place doth exceede the wombe of one priuat womaÌ„ so much doth the place of blisse passe all the whole worlde in greatnesse and quantity And as much as a man liuing in this world doth passe a child in his mothers wombe in strength of body beauty wit vnderstanding and knowledge so much and so farre more doth a Saint in heauen passe men of this world in all heauenly knowledge This place is so great spacious as if wee compare the whole coÌ„passe of earthly things with the multitude of heauenly all that euer God made besides heauen it selfe is but as a prick or small point or period beeing matched with the workemanshippe of heauen This is that large and glorious Kingdom of God which he hath prepared to set forth his glory and to expresse vnto vs his mighty power To conclude this point though heauen be large and great which no tongue can expresse yet streight is the way narrow is the gate to goe into it Many seeke it and few finde it for the streitnesse of the way is affliction the narrownes of the gate is true contrition the Suburbs is the Church the dore is Christ by whoÌ„ if we truly seek we shal surely enter in O let vs therefore striue to auoyd sin the our wayes may be verity our paths piety Gods holy spirit our coÌ„ductor his Word our director Our Faith holde the Anchor while Grace steeres the Helme Let our teares bÃ©e the seas and our sighes the gales of wind to arriue at Gods heauenly Kingdom which God hath prepared vs Christ hath merited for vs the holy Spirit doth assure vs and our godly life will witnesse the same vnto vs which the Father of mercy euen for his Sonne Iesus Christ his sake for euer grant vnto vs. Amen Thirdly Heauen is described by the Ioyes NOw as Heauen is a most glorious place a Kingdome which hath no end or measure either in power or glory So in the same are contained Ioyes vnspeakeable As a learned Father saith that it is an easier matter to know what God is not then to know what hee is It is much easier to tell what is not in heauen then to tell what is there the ioyes thereof are so great that all the Arithmeticians in the world cannot number the Geometricians measure nor Rhetoricians with all their eloquence vtter and expresse the same it doth exceede the power of our eloquence and the capacity of all our intelligence Saint Paule was rapt into Heauen and saw the ioyes thereof they were so exceeding great that his tongue was not able to expresse them Therefore he saith that neither eye hath seene nor eare hath heard nor the heart of man conceiued the greatnes of heauenly ioyes They which are there wish nothing but they haue it before them they desire nothing but they enioy it they dwell in loue they liue in peace and continue in the fruition of all blessednesse Blessed is their estate blessed their beginning their present beeing and their neuer ending They are crowned with ioy and gladnesse and remaine for euer in a most blessed estate As they haue beene here members militant there they are all triumphant all Kings reigning and all victoriously triumphing There the King is Verity and the law Loue and Charity the honor Equity the peace Felicity and the life Eternity If Peter said onely vpon Christ his transfiguration it is good to be hÃ©ere O how much more shall the childreÌ„ of God reioyce in the Kingdome of heauen when they enioy not onely Heauens beauty and the beholding of Christ in his glory but shall themselues bÃ©e glorified and shine as the Sunne in the Kingdome of their Father All the Ioyes Pleasures Delights comforts that this worlde can yÃ©elde are but shaddowes if they bÃ©e compared vnto the true Ioyes in the Kingdome of Heauen The ioyes of our bodyes shall be infinite the ioyes of our souls vnspeakable Our earthly and vile bodyes shall bÃ©e made like vnto the most glorious body of the Son of God like vnto the brightnesse of the Firmament like vnto the Angels like vnto the Sun in his strength We shall sÃ©e God face to face we shall sÃ©e him as hÃ©e is all the parts and powers both of body and soule shal be filled with the sight presence and fruition of God As the Lords glory reflected vpon Moses did make his face to shine vpon the Mount So will our Sauiour Jesus Christ refine and beautifie with the perfection of grace that they may bee like vnto his glorious body It was one of our Sauiors last requests in the behalf of his Church Father I will that those whoÌ„ thou hast giuen me be with mee where I am that they may behold my glory For the glory of Christ is so delightfull to be sÃ©ene so swÃ©et to bÃ©e possessed and so pleasant to be inioyed and his continuall presence is so ioyfull vnto all the Saints in Heauen that if the least drop thereof should descend into hell it would sweeten all the paines of the damned The fountaine of Happinesse is called by Diuines visio Dei beatifica the sight of God which maketh vs happy Haec sola est summum bonum nostrum this onely sight of God is our cheefest happinesse which Christ also confirmeth wheÌ„ he saith to his Father This is life euerlasting that men know thee the liuing God and Iesus Christ whom thou hast sent In seeing him wÃ©e shall know the power of the Father we shal know the wisdome of the Sonne and we shall know the goodnesse of the holy Ghost wee shall know the inuisible nature of the most sacred and blessed Trinity This sight of God is the full beatitude and glorification of man for in seeing him we shall possesse him in possessing him wee loue him in louing him we shall praise him and in praising him we shal liue and reigne with him for hee is the Inheritance of his people the possession of their Felicity and the reward of their expectation He is supereminent aboue all superexcellent beyond all and most abundant in Loue to all All persons generally haue the participation of ioy and euery one in particular the fruition of glory But this one thing let vs coÌ„sider that there is a twofold equality of proportion quantity of glory which ariseth not from the Obiect Almighty God which is euer the same but from man the subiect which is
