I have a diseased and a lumpish body, and my body hinders me in every duty of worship, and service, wandering and vain thoughts lodge in me now; I but I'll wait for that time when Christ shall come in all his glory, and make my body to be like unto his glorious body, to make it to be able to look upon the face of God, and to be able to be exercised in holy duties to all eternity without any weariness, and without any intermission: so shall the bodies of the Saints be raised to that power, that their bodies shall be so strong, that their souls shall be exercised about the highest things possible for a creature to be exercised with without weariness; wait for this: I have many things here that trouble my mind, and spirit, and hinders ⟨p. 259⟩me in my converse with Heaven, but within a while the time shall come that I shall be delivered from all troubles here, when Christ shall appear with his mighty Angels to be admired of his Saints, and when he shall come and take the Saints to judg the world, and shall set all the Saints upon Thrones to judg the world: the expectation of this time will raise the heart very much to be in Heaven.
