But the highest performance of this that there are ⟨p. 3⟩things provided for Gods people, that neither eye hath seen, nor ear hath heard, &c. It is reserved for another World: for the promises of the Gospel have then their fulfilling indeed. These words are true of the state of the Gospel here now: but they have their accomplishment in Heaven, for whatsoever is begun here, is ended there: peace, begun here, is ended there; joy that is begun here, it shall be ended there; Communion of Saints that is begun here, it shall be ended there; Sanctification that is begun here, it shall be ended there: so all graces shall be perfect, and all promises performed then. That is the time indeed when ⟨p. 4⟩God shall discover things that neither eye hath seen, nor ear heard &c. In the mean time, let us learn to believe them, and to live by faith in them, that the•e are such things.
