2. IT may exhort us to take heed, that this separation from Christ be not our portion. O, Reader, how much doth it concern thee, what-ever thou losest, to make sure of the presence of Christ in the other World! Believe it, though thou canst bear the loss of an ⟨p. 64⟩Estate, or Friends, or Relations; yea, and the partial absence of Christ in this World, yet the total loss of Christ in the other World will be an intolerable loss. They who live here cheerfully without him, cannot do so there. When thou shalt be banished from all thy Possessions, and all thy Relations, and all thy worldly Comforts, then also to be banished from Christ, the Prince of Life, and Lord of Glory, and Consolation of Israel, will be a woe with a witness.
