2. THE Lord Christ will never in any one instance, on any occasion, so much as one moment withdraw himself from us, or Eclipse the proposal and manifestation of himself unto our sight. This he doth sometimes in this life, and it is needful for us that so he should do. We shall be ever with the Lord, 1 Thes. 4. 17. without end, without interruption. This is the Centre of good and evil, as to the future different states of Men. They shall be for •ver. Eternity makes them absolutely good on the one hand, and absolutely evil on the other. To be in Hell under the wrath of God, is in it self the greatest penal Evil: But to be there for ever, without the Intermission of Misery, or Determination of Time, is that which renders it the greatest evil unto them who shall be in that condition. So is Eternity the Life of future Blessedness. We shall be ever with the Lord, without Limitation of Time, without Interruption of Enjoyment.

THERE are no vicissitudes in the heavenly state, The New Jerusalem hath no Temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty, and the Lamb are the Temple thereof,
