A fourth volume containing one hundred and fifty sermons on several texts of Scripture…

as a torn Garment is pieced and patched up with Supplies from abroad; the Sheep or Silkworm supplies us with Clothing, the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea with Food, and all to support a ruinous Fabric, that is ever ready to drop about our Ears. But there we are above Meat and Drink and Apparel: it will be our Meat and Drink to do our Father's Will; Nakedness will be no Shame, we shall have Glory instead of a Robe. And the Body will not be a Clog to the Soul, but a Help. This Mass of Flesh we carry about with us, is now the Prison of the Soul, where it looketh out by the Windows of the Senses; but there it is no longer the Prison of the Soul, but the Temple of it. In short, all that I have to •ay upon this Branch, is comprised in Rev. 21.4. And God shall wipe away all Tears from their Eyes; and there shall be no more Death, neither Sorrow, nor Crying, neither shall there be any more Pain; for the former things are passed away. There is quite another kind of Dispensation, no Distraction of Business; our whole Employment there will be to think of God, and study God, but without Weariness, Satiety or Distraction.
