The saints convoy to heaven a discourse occasioned

It is better to live and die in the Depths of Poverty, and have the Soul Everlastingly saved; than in the Heights of Prosperity, and the Soul Eternally lost. The worst Condition of ⟨p. 4⟩a Child of God, be it never so bad, is better than the best Condition of a Wicked Man, be it never so good.

In the Words of the Text Five Things may be observed: 1. The Passage of a Believer to the Place of his Eternal Abode. He is carried, or transported to it. 2. What of the Believer is carried to that Place or State? And that is, the Soul. He was carried; his Soul, not then his Body. His Soul was transported, his Body was left behind. The Soul is carried at his Dissolution; the Body not till the Resurrection. 3. Whither was the Soul carried; what was the Place or State to which it was transported? Into Abraham's Bosom. 4. When? As soon as he died; that Minute it was separated from the Body, it began its Journey to its Eternal Home. 5. By whom? By the Angels he was carried into Abraham's Bosom. Not by one, but many Angels.

Several great Articles of Faith affording great Support and Comfort to Believers are taught by Christ in these Words.
