13. The days of our mourning will soon be ended*. After a few showers that fall from our eyes, we shall have a perpetual sun-shine. Christ will provide an handkerchief to wipe off his peoples tears, Rev. 7. 17. God will wipe away all tears. Christians, shortly you shall put on your garments of praise: you shall exchange your Sackcloth, for white Robes: instead of sighs, you shall have triumphs; instead of groans, Anthems; instead of the water of tears, the water of life. The mourning of the Dove will be past, and the time of singing of birds will come.
