Besides, the Reward as in excellency 'tis Divine, so in duration 'tis perpetual. Heaven is an inheritance as safe as great Here we are subject to time, that carries us and all our goods down its swift stream; but there Eternity, that is sixth and unchangeable, embraces us in its bosom. We shall be secure and at Rest, for no Person shall take away our Crown, 1we shall reign for ever and ever. At Gods right hand are pleasures for evermore, 2that can never abate or end: As his Liberal Hand bestows, so his Powerful preserves our Happiness. The Blessed shall sing Everlasting Hymns of Glory, and ⟨p. 389⟩Songs of thanksgiving to the Great Creator, Redeemer, and Sanctifier, who hath prepared and purchased that felicity for them, and hath brought them to the secure possession of it.
