The Society.
The King that rules there, is one Almighty God in three distinct persons. He made this City for himself. kIn his presence is the fullness of joy, and pleasures at his right hand for evermore. If he gave such a house as this world is, to his enemies: what may we think, hath he provided for himself, and his friends? But will GOD dwell there alone? He is never alone: himself is to himself the best and most excellent company. Nevertheless he vouchsafes a dwelling here to some Citizens, and these are either Created so, Assumed, or Assigned.
