No tongue can declare this blessing; happy heart that shall feel it: whose glorified eye shall one day behold all: and ten thousand times more then we have spoken. Who shall say, as it is in the Psalme: Sicut […], it a & vidimus; as we have heard, so we have seen in the City of our God. As we have heard it preached on earth, we now find it true in heaven: though the City we enjoy far excel the map we saw.

Well this is Gods blessing, and he will give it to the good ground. Labour we then to be fruitful Gardens; and to abound with gracious herbs; that God may in this world shower upon us, the dews of his mercy: and after this life transplant us to his heavenly Paradise. Let not the pleasures of sin; the lusts of the wanton flesh, the riches, snares, cares of the world, nor all those transient delights, whose taste is only in the sense, the operation in the conscience; that tickle men for an hour, and wound them for ever: nor all those vain desires of carnal complacency, which shall one day be laid upon Gods cold earth; intercept us to the privation of this blessing.
