3.1 From placing God in heaven we are taught to crave heaven it self: that we may be where our Father is: and where we may most fully enjoy his glorious presence. Thus did the Apostle desire to depart, 2for this very end that he might be with Christ. And the holy Patriarchs are said to desire an heavenly country:3 which also the Apostle noteth to be the desire of all true Saints.4 Where God is, there must every one lay the foundation of his abode.
