Hence observe thirdly, for the persevering Saint there is laid up a Crown of righteousness in Heaven; *a Crown is the highest ensign of worldly happiness. 'Tis only for Kings and Persons of renown to wear; there is a Crown of righteousness laid up for the Elect. 'Tis a massy Crown. The Hebrew word for glory signifies a weight*; things that are precious, the more weighty they are the more they are worth. The weightier a chain of Pearl is the more it is worth. The Heavenly Crown is expressed by a weight of glory, 2 Cor. 4. 17. This Crown of righteousness doth out-vie, and exceed all earthly Crowns.
