4. Their wills shall be perfectly holy; there ⟨p. 161⟩shall be a sweet harmony between their wills and •he will of God, a perfect compliance with the sweet Law which they shall be under, without the least contranitency, or contradiction; they shall not have any evil motion, or inclination of will in Heaven.
5. Their hearts and affections shall be perfectly holy; the inner room of their hearts shall then be swept clean of all cob-webs, there shall not the •east dust of sin-remain; the roots of bitterness will be plucked up then, and the stains which now are upon them shall be washed off; all the disorders and distempers in their affections shall be removed, yea some affections which now they have •nd are suitable to this estate of sin and imperfection, shall be removed in their state of glory; •uch as grief, anger, fear, and the like; they shall •ave no bitterness upon their spirits, no sorrow in •heir hearts, no sinking and fainting of spirit, no discouragement and despondency, no terror or perplexity, no anguish or anxiety; all these shall flee away like a Cloud, yea they shall have no •ope in Heaven, nor desire as I conceive, because •hese affections suppose the chief good to be absent, and imply imperfection; but there they •hall have a perfect enjoyment and rest of soul in •he chief good; which is the next thing to be spoken of, namely the object of the Saints happiness […] Heaven.
