Oh what rare notions and experiences will the Angels be able to communicate to the Saints in Heaven, having ministered about the Throne of God from the foundation of the world, and been sent forth continually to manage the great affairs of the world, but especially of the Churches! The Apostle tells us, they are beholden to the *Lectures read in the Assemblies of the Saints, for some insight into the mystery of Christ in the Gospel. Oh how ready and able will they be to pay their debts (with an abundant interest) out of the immense volumes of knowledge, which they have treasured up! The Communications of their love, their holiness, their zeal, their heavenliness, &c. what united flames will they make when they be joined in communion, and converse with the graces and perfections of the Saints?

Object. If it be objected, Is there not enough in God to fill the Saints, to the vastest capacity? What need then of Starlight when the Sun shines? Yea, may not the Saints conversing with Angels and one another, be thought to be a diversion from the supreme object of light and love?
