The first Ingredient into Fruition is Propriety; 1Whatsoever the Saints see in Heaven is their own; God saith to Abraham, 2now in the heavenly Canaan, what he once said to him of the earthly, Lift up thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art Northward, Southward, Eastward and Westward; for all the land which thou seest […] thee do I give it; whatever is within that vast circumference of Heaven it is Abraham's, and all his spiritual seeds for ever. Now David may tune his Michtam a key higher; and instead of, Gilead is mine, 3and Manasseh is mine, Ephraim and Judah, ⟨p. 51⟩&c. he may now sing, God is mine, and Christ is mine, and the Spirit is mine; all the elect Angels are mine, and all the whole Congregation of the first-born mine, all the glory of Heaven is mine. And so may the best of the Saints in heaven triumph, all is mine, and what pleasures, or riches, or honours, or glory, or joys, are in the presence of God, they are all mine.
