Seeing there is such a reward promised, as this white, wherein we shall walk with Christ; it is an Angelical Happiness, 'tis Heaven before Heaven.
This white is such, as conquers all the black of the world.
'Tis not possible for the world to alter the colour of this white: how much dirt soever they put upon it, this white will be white still.
They cannot take away this peace, this joy from us; they cannot strip off this habit: It is a conquering joy, turns all sorrow into joy.
They who keep their Garments undefiled here, shall be sure of that, to walk with Christ in glory hereafter.
