Christ's certain and sudden appearance to judgment

9. Ye are called with a Holy calling, and sanctified with the holy Spirit, and thereby in some measure fitted and qualified for this happiness by the work of grace, conformity to the Lord in holiness; ⟨p. 282⟩grace is glory begun, and is called eternal life, and God hath promised to perfect it, Philip. 1. 6. grace hath relation to Heaven, as sin hath relation to hell; and as sin will certainly bring men to hell if it be not pardoned, and subdued; so grace will certainly bring men to heaven, because it cannot be wholly eradicated.

10. You have made choice of Heaven for your portion, you have laid up there your treasure, and God hath set your souls a longing after it, and given you hopes of it; and therefore you shall not miss it, your desires shall be satisfied, and your hopes shall not make you ashamed, Rom. 5. 5.
