I answer, you may know it by four things.
First, If you are righteous, then you shall be gathered to Christ at death; for the righteous shall go into everlasting life: Heaven is entailed upon righteous men; by righteousness I mean the imputed righteousness, and the imparted righteousness of Jesus Christ: I wave the explication of them, because time will not give leave. Know you not (saith the Apostle) that no unrighteous man shall inherit the Kingdom of God? Damnation is entailed upon unrighteous men.

Know you not (saith the Apostle) that no unrighteous man shall inherit the Kingdome of God? Damnation is entailed upon unrighteous men.
Secondly, If you are merciful; the merciful man shall be gathered to Christ: If you are one that is full of bowels of compassion to the distressed Members of Jesus Christ, for Christ hath said it, Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Now if you are hard-hearted, covetous, worldly-minded, remember that Text, He shall have judgement without mercy, that shows no mercy.
