Use. 1 Who then would not forsake Father and Mother, the dearest fellowship of this world to be with Christ in his Kingdom? You that love one another in the deepest bonds, who cannot part out of this life but with the survivors grief, and hearts break: tell me what a merry day will that be, when (you shall not only meet again, never more to part asunder, but when) Christ our Saviour shall gladly welcome you (every one of you) into his society, thou shalt be with me,] and let me speak to the joy of us all, I mean all broken-hearted Christians, (as for you that are profane ones, you have your portion here, therefore stand you by, and let the Children come to their share) a day will come, I trust in the Lord, when I shall meet you, and you me in the Kingdom of heaven: a day will come, I trust in the Lord, when you and I shall be all admitted into the society of God, and of Christ, and of his Saints, and of the Angels: a day will come, I trust in the Lord, when with these eyes we shall behold our Redeemer, together with that Thief that was crucified with him: a day will come, I trust in the Lord, when we shall meet again with all the Saints that are gone afore us: and is not this a comfort? what shall we say when we see our Saviour in his Throne, waited on with Mary his Mother, and Magdalen and Martha, and Lazarus, and Paul, and Peter, and all the Apostles and Disciples of our Lord and Saviour? yea, when this Thief shall be presented to our view, the wounds in his hands and his feet shining like Stars, and Pearls, and Rubies, all his body glittering in glory, and his soul magnifying the Lord for his conversion and salvation world without end.
