He commended the study of the Promises to Believers, and desired that they would be sure to make good their claim to them, and then they might come to the Wells of Consolation, and drink thereof, their fill.
According to his desire most of the time that was spent with him, was spent in Praise; and he would still be calling out, More Praise still. O, help me to praise him: I have now nothing else to do; I have done with Prayer, and all other Ordinances; I have almost done conversing with mortals. I shall presently be beholding Christ himself, that dyed for me, and loved me, and washed me in his Blood.

I shall before a few hours are over, be in Eternity singing the Song of Moses, and the Song of the Lamb. I shall presently stand upon Mount Zion, with an innumerable company of Angels, and the Spirits of the just made perfect, and Jesus the mediator of the New Covenant, I shall hear the voice of much people, and be one amongst them, which shall say Hallelujah, Salvation▪ Glory, Honour, and power unto the Lord our God; ⟨p. 113⟩and again, we shall say Hallelujah. And yet a very little while, and I shall sing unto the Lamb, a Song of Praise, saying, Worthy art thou to receive Praise who wert slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy Blood, out of every Kindred, and Tongue, and People, and Nation, and hast made us unto our God, Kings and Priests, and we shall reign with thee for ever and ever. Methinks I stand, as it were, with one foot in Heaven, and the other upon Earth; methinks, I here the melody of Heaven, and by Faith, I see the Angels waiting to carry my Soul to the bosom of Jesus, and I shall be for ever with the Lord in Glory. And who can choose but rejoice in all this.
