Is this the glory and happiness of the future estate in heaven? Let it then excite in us an holy ambition to be often ⟨p. 118⟩looking into this glory, to anticipate it by our frequent contemplations; the sweeter the vision, the more taking it should be with men of ascending and ambitious spirits: Can earth-worms take such complacential contentment from beholding a bag of gold, or a field of corn, or a sumptuous fabric, and please themselves in a peculiar manner with the reflection of their interest, 1this is mine, that appertains to me; as David sings, Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, Ephraim also is the strength of my head: And shall not Saints turn their song to an higher key, and be joyful in glory, singing upon their beds?
