But death will ease the soul of this trouble; As in heaven, there shall be no tinder of a corrupt heart to take, so no devil like steel and flint to strike fire. The crooked serpent could wind himself into the terrestrial, but shall never creep into the celestial Paradise; his circuit is to go to and fro in the earth, he cannot enter the confines of heaven; when he fell from his state of integrity, he left that place of felicity, and cannot possibly recover it again. The Saints on earth indeed are militant, fighting with him, but the Saints in heaven are all Triumphant, wholly above him; more than conquerors through him that loveth them, Rom. 8.37. There the children of God are gathered together, and no Satan among them; there the son of David delivereth his true Israelites, from all their fears of this uncircumcised Philistine. ⟨p. 26⟩When the heavenly Mordecai comes to be a chief favourite in that high and holy Court, he shall be freed from all his frights, about this enemy and adversary, this wicked Haman.
