Fourthly, there shall be no weariness; though we do spend some time in holy exercises here, we are 1quickly weary before we have done, Though the spirit be willing, the flesh is weak; but when we shall have been praising of God millions of years, we shall be as fresh at the end of them, as at the first moment; when we are exercised in holy duties with others, it is good to consider of their weakness, whether they be able to hold out, and join with us; but ⟨p. 595⟩there we shall not need fear weariness in our selves, or any others.
