2. They shall go away from the Saints; now some of them are mingled with Gods people, the Tares and the Wheat grow up together; the sheep and the goats feed in the same pasture; and though it was bitter to the wicked to dwell with the righteous, because of the contradiction, which was in their lives, to their lusts; yet then it will be more bitter to them to be excluded their society, because then they will perceive their excellency with admiration: when they see them shine with such beauty, and rejoice with Songs of triumph, and they must be gone away from them; this will fill their hearts with racking envy, and torment them unspeakably.

2. From what the wicked shall go away; they shall go away from happiness, from the happiness of heaven; the doors of heaven shall be shut upon them; they shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and many come from the East, and the West, and the North, and the South, even an innumerable multitude of all kindreds, and Nations, and Tongues, and enter in and sit down in the Kingdom of God, and themselves thrust out, and thrust down to Hell.
