1Seventhly, The Heavenly Heart considering it is not of this world doth therefore long for and hasten the Coming of Christ; We are daily to pray that Christs Kingdom may come, and the Godly are described by this Expectation, Heb. 2.29. They look for, and hasten the Coming of Christ; 2 Pet. 3.12. The Church crieth, Come Lord Jesus, Come quickly; She prayeth vehemently, as if she could not stay till he did come? That as Sisera's Wife stood looking out of the Window expecting her Lords Coming in Triumph, Thus do the godly, and therefore they are to lift up their Heads, Mat. 24. Then their Winter is over, and their Summer is come, Then shall there be no more sins, no more cares, no more clogs nor troubles, thou shalt take thy leave of all these.
