Christs temptation and transfiguration practically explained and improved in several sermons /

I. Doctrine, That the state and condition of the glorified Saints, is a most delightful state and condition.

For when Peter had but a glimpse of it in the transfiguration of Christ, it seemed so ravishing and transporting, that here would he abide and stay by it; so was he affected with joy in the company and presence of Christ, and Moses, and Elijah, appearing with him, that all his natural comforts and relations were forgotten. This would compensate all, if once we be gotten into this blessed estate, we shall never desire to come out of it and part with it, this which the Disciples had, was but a little glimpse, and taste of the Life to come, this must needs be so; it is called joy, Mat. 25. 21. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord, and fullness of joy, Psal. 16. 11. In thy presence there is fullness of joy, at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore, no better estate can be expected. The Soul is at rest ⟨p. 105⟩as having obtained its end. And it is also proved by the privileges and benefits the Saints shall enjoy in the world to come.
