2. It will be well with the Righteous at death, as to their souls too. Oh it will be a blessed time! methinks it is with a Saint at the time of death, just as it was with Saint Paul in his voyage to Rome, we read that the Ship did break, but though there were so many broken pieces, yet he got safe to shore; so though the Ship of the Believers body break by death, yet it is safe with the passenger, his soul that gets safe to the Heavenly harbour: Let me tell you, the day of a Believers death, ⟨image 82⟩it is the birth-day of his blessedness, it is his Ascension day to Heaven, the day of his death, it is his marriage-day with Jesus Christ. Faith doth but contract us here, in this life is but the contract, but at death the Nuptials shall be solemnized in Glory, they shall see God face to face, it will be Heaven enough to have a sight of God, saith Austin: when the Saints shall enter into joy, here joy enters into them, but then they shall enter into it: they shall drink of these pure Rivers that run from the Everlasting Fountain.
