First, that you will be more happy in being present with Jesus Christ in Heaven, then if you had been present with Adam in a state of Innocency; we should have thought our selves happy, to be as Adam was, to have had the immediate presence of God, we should have thought this a very happy and glorious Estate.

First, Adam when hee was made by God in Innocency, hee was instated only into an earthly Paradise, but now, thou being with Christ art stated into an everlasting kingdome.
