SECT. XIV.
14. A godly man is an heavenly man; 1Heaven is in him, before he is in Heaven; the Greek word for Saint, [Greek or Hebrew], signifies a man taken off from the earth: a person may live in one place, yet belong to another; he may live in Spain, yet be a free Denizon of England; Pomponius dwelt at Athens, yet was a Citizen of Rome: So a godly man is a while in the* world, but he belongs to the Jerusalem †above; that is the place to which he aspires; every day is Ascension day with a Believer: The Saints are called Stars, for their sublimeness; they are gotten above into the upper Region, Pro. 15. 24. The way of life is above to the wise: A godly man is Heavenly six ways.
