Ver. 17. To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden Manna, and will give him a white Stone, and in the Stone a new Name written, which no Man knoweth, saving he that receiveth it. This is an unspeakable Privilege indeed, to have the Bread of Life: This hidden Manna, it is hidden from the World, and given only to those who through Faith and Patience lay hold on eternal Life. How happy are those that have the White Stone of Absolution, and have in it a new Name written? Once indeed they were Children of Darkness, Children of this World; but now, through Grace, they are made Children of Light, they have the Image of God impressed upon their Souls; and though the World know it not, yet the Persons that receive this inestimable Privilege, find (at least sometimes) a Change ⟨p. 94⟩in their Heart, and can rejoice in their future Hopes, that however it goes with them here, yet they can be contented, knowing it will not be long ere they be past the Inconveniences of their present Pilgrimage, and shall then be admitted into the Heavenly Canaan, where all Troubles, and Sorrows, and Calamities, shall be done away, and they shall enjoy God World without End. Amen.
