9. He tells us, Luke 16. 9. that as the wise Steward when he was put out, was received by the Persons whom he had Obliged, so if we make us Friends of the Mammon of Unrighteousness, when these things fail us (which is at Death) we shall be received into the Everlasting Habitations.
10. The Parable of the sensual Rich Man, and Lazarus, one going presently to Hell, and the other to ⟨p. 157⟩the Bosom of Abraham in Paradise, fully prove that Christ would have this believed, and would have all Men warned accordingly to prepare; and that Moses and the Prophets were so sufficient for such notice, as that one from the Dead would have been less credible herein: Though it be a Parable, it is an instructing and not a deceiving Parable, and very plain in this particular. The Name of Abraham's Bosom was according to the Common sense of the Jews who so called that State of the blessed, not doubting but that Abraham was then in Happiness, and the blessed with him.
