3. The nature of a state of Glory, and how easily it maketh us to forget all things here below, Peter had a Family, and Household affairs to mind, for we read in the Gospel that his Wives Mother was sick and cured by Christ, Matth. 8. 14. he had Friends and a Brother called Andrew, who was one of the Disciples of Christ, left below in the Valley, John 1. 40. nay he forgot his own present condition of Life, which could not long brook his remaining in that Mountain ⟨p. 100⟩without the supply of Food, and other necessaries. Now all this showeth that when we are translated to Heaven we shall be so ravished with that kind of Life we shall have there, as that all sense and memory of things that we have left behind shall cease, as Peter being ravished with this sight and spectacle, thinketh not of Kindred, Friends or Household, or any kind of Worldly comfort, but saith only it is good to be here; so that it teacheth us, that the delights of the other World, make us forget all our concernments here below, all shall be forgotten and swallowed up in that heavenly delight we shall have there.
