God's terrible voice in the city

Yet Hell doth not engross all that dye by the visitation; some there are (though not the first or most) who have room made for them in the mansions, which are above; the Plague makes little difference between the righteous and the wicked (except the Lord by a peculiar providence do shelter some under his wing, and compass them with his favour as with a shield, hereby keeping off the darts that are shot so thick about them) yet as there is little difference in the ⟨p. 41⟩body of the righteous, and of others: so this disease makes little discrimination, and not a few fearing God, are cut off amongst the rest; they dye of the same distemper, with the most profane; they are buried in the same grave, and there sleep together till the morning of the resurrection: but as there is a difference in their spirits, whilst they live: so there is a difference and the chiefest difference in their place and state after their separation from the body.

Now the veil is rent, and they enter the holy of holies, where God dwells, not in the darkness of a thick cloud, as in the Temple of old;
