On the other side, thou standest by a scorned persecuted Saint, when he is bidding adieu to a sinful world; thou seest the strugglings and droppings of his outward man, but thou seest not the reviving cordial the Physician of souls is preparing for his inward man; thou doest not see those glorious Angels which watch and wait upon this heaven-born soul.

That waggon or chariot, which the son of Joseph sendeth to fetch his relation to a true Goshen, 1the inheritance of the Saints in light, is as invisible to thee, as those chariots of fire on the mountain were to the servant of the Prophet: When the soul biddeth the body good night, till the morning of the resurrection, thou doest not see ⟨p. 59⟩those ministering spirits (sent down for the good of this heir of salvation) presently solacing and saluting it. Thou doest not see how stately it is attended, how safely conducted, how gladly received into the bosom of Abraham, into the fathers house, into that City, whose builder and maker is God.
