The kingdom of glory, is the blessed estate of Gods elect▪ in heaven,1 whereby God in Christ becomes all things unto them immediately, 1. Cor. 15. 28. This estate of glory is a subjection also, but yet such a subjection, as is indeed a glorious regiment; for there we reign with Christ, in whom, and through whom, God himself becomes honour, peace, health, food, raiment, and all things needful to the perfection of felicity. Now these two being Gods kingdom, differ thus; The state of grace is the beginning and entrance to the state of glory; and the state ⟨p. 269⟩of glory is the perfection of the state of grace. This state of glory is the city; and the state of grace, as it were, the suburbs of it. In this life, we live in the kingdom of grace; but the kingdom of glory, is reserved for the life to come: and this special kingdom of God in both these estates, do we here pray for.

Now these two beeing Gods kingdome, differ thus; The state of grace is the beginning and entrance to the state of glorie; and the state ⟨p. 269⟩of glorie is the perfection of the state of grace. This state of glorie is the citie; and the state of grace, as it were, the suburbs of it.
