Lastly, if a gracious eye can see so much excellency in the Saints, in outward meanness, how much more shall they see when they come to their glory, when all the treasures of Heaven shall come to be opened, and all the good of Heaven let out to them, when they shall be wholly free from sin, when the robes shall be brought out, and the glorious garments, and they shall walk with Christ in white? If they be so glorious when they are on the dunghill, what shall they be when they are in their Kingdom, when the Bride shall come trimmed, when there shall be a suitableness to that Bridegroom Jesus Christ; and God, and all the Angels shall come to solemnize the marriage? There shall be a time here, when wicked men shall take hold upon the skirt of a Jew, and say, I will go with you, for I have heard God is with you: How much more afterwards will the great ones and mighty ones of the earth be ready to catch hold upon the Saints, and say, O that we might go with you, though it were but to attend upon you? This is the day of visitation, 1 Pet. 2. 12. in which they shall glorify God.
