First, It stands with the analogy of faith, to believe that all those affections which imply defect or imperfection shall be totally abolished in Heaven, as inconsistent with the glorified estate, 1God shall wipe all tears from their eyes.
- 1Rev. 7.14 21.4
Secondly, We answer, that there shall be such a perfect conformity of will, between God and the Saints, that there will be no dissent (in the least.) It shall not be then, as it is now, to the no little embittering of their present estate, (first by sin, and then by grief for sin) but what pleaseth God shall abundantly please them. This the Saints pray for here, but there shall they be fully possessed of it; here it is their duty, but there it shall be their reward; the Saints in glory would have nothing otherwise than God would have it; so that now, to the full and perpetual silencing of this Objection, I answer; That the glory of God shall so perfectly swallow up all private personal considerations, that (I am confident) it is no breach of charity to say, that the believing Husband shall rejoice in the damnation of the unbelieving Wife, the holy Parent in the damnation of the stubborn and ungodly Child, Et sic in caet. Gods Will is the Law, and his Glory the triumph of the Heavenly Inhabitants.
