2. The Second thing comprehended in Glory, is the good Society there. There are the Angels; every Star adds to the Light. Those Blessed Cherubims will welcome us into Paradise. If the Angels rejoiced so at the Conversion of the Elect, First, How will they rejoice at their Coronation! Secondly, There is the Company of the Saints, Heb. 12.23. The Spirits of Just Men made Perfect.

Quest. Whether shall the Saints in Glory know each other?
Resp. Certainly they shall; for our Knowledge in Heaven shall not be diminished, but increased. We shall not only know our Friends and Godly Relations, but those glorified Saints which we never saw before. It must be so; for Society without Acquaintance is not comfortable. And of this Opinion were St. Austin, Anselm, Luther. And indeed the Scripture seems to hint so much to us. For, if Peter in the Transfiguration knew Moses and Elijah, whom he never saw before, Mat. 17.4. then surely in Heaven, the Saints shall know one another, and be infinitely delighted in each others Company.
