Secondly, At death it shall be well with the righteous, as to their souls. O it shall be a blessed time; Methinks it is with a Saint at the time of death, just as it was with Paul in his voyage to Rome; the ship did break into many pieces, but yet he got safe to shore; so it is with a believer, though the ship of his body may be snapped and broken at death; yet the passenger is safe, the ⟨p. 59⟩soul gets safe to shore even to the heavenly▪ Jerusalem; then surely it is well with the righteous at his death; the day of a believer's death is the birth-day of his blessedness; it is his ascension-day to heaven; his death-day is his marriage-day with Jesus Christ; faith doth but Contract us here, but at death the Nuptials shall be solemnized in glory; and shall it not be well with the righteous? they shall see God face to face: And says Austin, Ipse Deus sufficit ad praemium. It will be heaven enough to have the •ight of God. The Saints shall then enter into joy; joy now enters into them here, but then they shall enter into joy; they shall drink of that pure river that runs from God the ever lasting Fountain.
