18. Heaven it self is perfection, and the work of a Christian is to press towards Heaven, and therefore 'tis to press towards perfection.

You know not how great a difference there is between the least and highest in the kingdom of God: Nay, 'tis not only for a Christian to desire to be glorified, but to enjoy the highest degree in glory: to serve God with the best, and improve his talent to the utmost, that his heavenly reward may be according. A Christian should not slight it when 'tis tendered to him, and in his eye.
