A fourth Ingredient into Fruition is, Fullness: 1There is in Heaven good, and there is enough of it: Fullness to satisfaction: They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house, 2and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures: The joys of heaven are compared to a Feast, 3consisting of all imaginable rarities both of meats and drinks, fatness expressing the delicacy of food, and the River of Eden (for so the word signifieth) of the River of thy Eden; the ravishing sweetness of their drink, infinitely beyond all that is fancied by the Poets, of the Nectar and Ambrosia of the Gods (which indeed was but an imperfect notion of the joys of Heaven, filched out of some fragments of Scripture by those blind Naturalists.) But of such deliciousness doth this marriage Supper consist of, and there is plenty of them, plenty even to satiety, they shall be satisfied with the fatness, and inebriated with those wines upon the lees well refined: The Master of the feast will say to his Guest;, then in the feast, what he said here below in the figure.
