This sentence thus pronounced, and preached by our Saviour Jesus Christ, as it doth command us to repent, so to the doing of the same, it showeth us a sufficient cause to stir us up thereunto; namely, for that, The kingdom of Heaven (which is a kingdom of all joy, peace, riches, power and pleasure) is at hand, to all such as do so, that is, as do repent: So that the meaning hereof is, as though our Saviour might thus speak presently: Sirs, for that I see you all walking the wrong way, even to Satan, and unto hell fire, by following the kingdom of Satan, which now is coloured under the vain pleasures of this life, and foolishness of the flesh, most subtly, to your utter undoing ⟨p. 4⟩and destruction: behold, and mark well what I say unto you: The Kingdom of Heaven, that is, an other manner of joy and felicity, honour, and riches, power and pleasure, then you now perceive of enjoy; is even at hand, and at your backs: and if you will turn again, that is, Repent you, you shall most truly and pleasantly feel, see, and inherit. Turn again therefore, I say; that is Repent, for this joy I speak of, even, The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
