even the happiness of God himlelf. 2. In Heaven there shall be no fo row, forrow thall there flee away; and although through many tribulations we must enter into Heaven, pet in Heaven there shall be no tribulation noz fo2row; there all tears shall be wiped away from our eyes; and there chall be no moze death, noz fozrow no pain; no fickness in heaven, no deformity, noz crookedness in glory, no confum ptions no decaying of our bodies no persecutions nóż oppreflions; there in Heaven, the Saints Chall be beyond. the reach of the Devil and all his Ins ftruments; in this Wozld the Saints meet with troubles, and griefs and perfecutions, and diftreffes, but in the world to come, in heaven, they shall be done away.

2. For the Comparative part of this glowy, 1. It is infinitely moze than what we have here, here we know but in part, but in Heaven we thall know as we are known: We shall be like God and we fhall fee him as he is, 1 John 3. 2. it's beyond the happiness of Adam in Paradife; in Paradife Adams body

was

was but moztal, but in Heaven the bodies of the Saints are all immoztal; for Chrift will change our vile bodies, and make them like unto his glorious body, Phil. 3. 21. 3. The glozy of the Saints in Heaven shall be beyond the glory of all the most glozious Angels, for they are moze nearly united to Chzift, they are the friends, the byethen of Chilk, co-heirs with Chzilt, they shall be made one with Ch¿ift, John 17. 23. Chrift took not on him the nature of Angels; Unto which of the Angels faid he at any time, thou art my Son, Heb. 1. 5.

3. For the positive part of the glozy of Heaven,and this you may fee in these particulars.

First in Heaven there whall be perfeaion of their nature: our body thall then be made like the glorious body of Chiift, every foul thall then have one incozruptible body, there thall be no more death, there shall be a perfection of foul and body.

Secondly,they shall poffefs and enjoy. the Kingdom of Heaven, even the hea. ben of heavens, they shall be lifted up above

above the spangled firmament which is 212. but the lower pavement of our Fathers house; and this Chould comfozt fuch of Gods people, as (with poo? Lazarus ) have no ̊ pollellions here, they hall poffels Heaven, and enjoy all the gloży thereof,which is better than the enjoyment of all the world, föz the glozy of Heaven is eternal.

Thirdly, they shall enjoy God himfelf,which thall be the glozy of all; fo as one faith sweetly, Heaven would be no Heaven, were it not foz the presence of God; In thy prefence is light, and at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore: and this mult needs fill our fouls with glozy, for the presence of God fills heaven with Glory. D what a glorious being shall the Saints have in glozy,when God himself thall be their glowy ? for they shall have union and communion with God and Chzift, Saints and Angels to all eternity.

This much briefly of the glozy of Heaven. The next thing I have to do, is bziefly to inform you what Hell is: And in the firü place, it's a place of darkness, even utter darkness, a

place®

place of pain and fozow, of endless and eafelefs woe, as you may clearly fee by the words of the Lert, I am tormented in this Flame, faith Dives, there's no coming from thence, out of Hell there's no redemption, it's called in Scripture a lake which burneth with fire and brimftone, Rev. 20, 14, 15. So that dreadful place in Rev. 21.8. The fearful, unbelieving, abominable murderer, whoremongers, forcerers, idolaters,and all lyers fhall have their part in the Lake which burneth with fire and brimftone, a place of everlasting darkness, where the De vils are bound in chains, Jude, 6. a place of everlasting woe. See the dreadful fentence agaius the wicked, at the great Day. Depart from me ye curfed into everlifting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels, Mat. 25. 4. The torments of Hell as they are eafelefs, fo they are endless; when the damned in Hell have undergone the wrath of God ten thousand times ten thousand mil lions of years, they shall be as far from having an end as they were at the firft: it was an exellent comparison which I have heard from a godly and

learn,

learned Divine, speaking of the everlafing tomments of Hell. If (laith he) a Barn 02 fome other great Place Chould be filled top full of the purest wheat, and a bird should come once every thoufand years and fetch away a con, there might at laff be an end of all, the Barn might at last be emptied; but as for the torments of Hell they haveno end; ten thousand times ten thousand millions of daves do not at all shorten the mifery and toments of the damned. Confider this all you that are ungodly, left living and dying in your fins, ye als fo come to this place of toyment.
