Thirdly, All Eternal good things are the purchase of his blood▪ Heaven and all the glory thereof is purchased for you that are Believers, with this price. Hence that glory, whatever it be, is called, an inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and that fadeth ⟨p. 185⟩not away, reserved in Heaven for you; to the lively hope whereof ye are begotten again, by the resurrection of Christ from the dead. 1 Pet. 1.3, 4. Not only present mercies are purchased for us, but things to come also. As it is 1 Cor. 3.22. Man is a prudent and prospecting creature, and is not satisfied that it's well with him for present, unless he have some assurance it shall be well with him for time to come. His mind is taken up about what shall be hereafter, and from the good, or evil things to come, he raiseth up to himself, vast hopes, or fears.
