O what happiness shall the holy man have at death, to be ever with God! If that Queen could say of Solomons attendants, Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants which stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom, 1 King. 10.8. how happy are they that dwell in Gods Mansion house, ever beholding his face, and hearing his voice!
