In this life we are like the poor men of Israel, that have lost our inheritance, and live in a manner and condition every way straitened: now death is our Jubilee, and when the trumpet of death blows, we all, that die, return and enjoy a better estate, then ever we sold, or lost.

Shall the Iubilee be called an acceptable time, and shall not our▪ Iubilee be acceptable to vs? Esay 61. 2.
