It fareth with many a poor believer here in the wilderness of desertion, ¹as it did with Hagar in hers, they sit down to dye, for want of water, when there is a well before them; yea, ²many a well of living water (the precious promises) out of which wells of salvation they might with joy draw water, and drink and forget their sorrows; but alas they see them not, until God open their eyes, and then they can go and fill their bottles, and drink, and cause others to drink also. This is oft the state of the way! Oh but now, in the Country, the land of fruition, there the Saints have their reflex Acts as well as their direct Acts; they see, and they know they see; they love, and they know they love; yea, they are beloved, and they know they are beloved: They are bathing themselves in the Rivers of pleasures, and they know where they are, and what they do: All tears are wiped from their eyes, and they know who wiped them off with the kisses of his mouth. They are safe, yea, and they are sure; they are blessed, and they know they are blessed. The Spouse is now got into the Throne, the bosom of her Beloved, the King of Glory, and there she singeth (and she sins not in it as the Harlot did) Here I sit as a Queen, ³and am no widow, and shall see sorrow no more for ever.
