What can interrupt, much less put an end to the Happiness of the Saints? ⟨p. 52⟩The Love of God is immutably fixed upon them, and their Love upon him. Here their Love is subject to decays, and gradual alienations; as the Needle in the Compass, though it always has a tendency to the North-Pole, yet sometimes it declines and has its variations.

'Tis as impossible to divert their Desires from him, as to cause one that is inflamed with Thirst, to leave a clear flowing Spring for a noisome Puddle. In short, Heaven is filled with eternal Hallelujahs: for there is no appearance of Sin, no shadow of Death there: all Miseries are vanished, and all that is desirable is possessed by the Saints: the Circle of their Employment is to enjoy and praise the Divine Goodness for ever.
