7. At Death the Saints shall gain a Royal Magnificent Feast. I told you before what a glorious Palace they shall have; but a Man may starve in a House if there be no Cheer. The Saints at Death shall have a Royal Banquet, shadowed out in Scripture by a Marriage Supper, Rev. 19.9. Bullinger and Gregory the Great, understand by that Marriage-Supper of the Lamb, the stately Magnificent Festival ⟨p. 227⟩the Saints shall have in Heaven; they shall feed on the Tree of Life, Rev. 22. They shall have the Heavenly Nectar and Ambrosia, the Spiced Wine, and Juice of the Pomegranate, Cant. 8.2. This Royal Supper of the Lamb will not only satisfy Hunger, but prevent it, Rev. 7 16. They shall hunger no more. Nor can there be any Surfeit at this Feast, because a fresh Course will be continually served in: New and fresh Delights will spring from God; therefore the Tree of Life in Paradise is said to bear Twelve sorts of Fruit, Rev. 22.2.
